WFMW: More Crock Pot Tips!

A few weeks ago I told you about a couple of my easy crock pot tips. Wellll, last week I discovered a secret to even easier crockpotting! I was looking in the pantry to see what I had to throw in the pot with my frozen chicken and cream-of-something soup and soup can of milk. I grabbed a box of Uncle Ben’s broccoli & cheddar rice and dumped it in, seasoning packet and all. Then, inspired by my inspiration, I grabbed a box of Green Giant mixed vgetables & sauce out of the freezer, microwaved it enough so that the sauce was melted, and dumped that in the crock pot too. Six hours on low later, the result was the tastiest and easiest crock pot meal I have ever made! Even picky Sophie loved it! Since then I have made a couple more meals this way using the pouches of Knorr-Lipton sides that are part of the Kroger mega-sale. They are also great! So, if you’re looking for a tasty, easy something for dinner tonight, throw a couple boxes in the crock pot and enjoy!

Yay Capitalism!

We have recently had two problems in our family. The first is that because of these babies pine-trees.jpg
in our front yard, we had a TON of these babies pine-cones.jpg
in our front yard. The second is that this baby joshuasillyface.jpg
was constantly (and annoyingly) longing for new trains. So, Daddy told this baby joshuasillyface.jpg
that he’d pay him 5 cents for every one of these babies pine-cones.jpg
that he picked up. Now that it’s finally WARM, yesterday this baby joshuasillyface.jpg
picked up 200 of these babies pine-cones.jpg
and earned enough money to go to Target and buy these babies

Now, that my friend is killing two birds with one baby stone!
