Muffin Tin Monday - Movie theme

Welcome to Muffin Tin Monday! Lots going on today but wanted to post what I did. This week theme is Movies, and I had a hard time being creative with this so I just went simple and did "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" The kids enjoyed it :)

Join the fun over at Michelle'e blog Muffin Tin Monday

Happy Monday!

My September Menus completed!

I'm so super excited!! I actually got an entire month of menus made!

I use an excel spreadsheet that I normally print out a week at a time and just hand write the menu in as a worksheet. However, I've really been wanting to start posting my menus for those that need some help with planning. I know I can always use extra ideas so why not post them? It's a pretty simple menu this month, as I'm using up alot of what we have in stock, but if there is something you need a recipe for, let meknow and I'll be glad to share!

Let me know if this is something you all would like to see more of!

Happy Cooking y'all!

Muffin Tin Monday - ABC Theme

Short post today. Aleah was kitchen helper this week but I didn't get any pics. We've had a crazy couple of weeks but I did snap a pic of the final product. I'm afraid I wasn't very creative with the theme, but I did find some really neat tater tots :)

Clockwise from top left, sorry it's so dark. Watermelon balls, Little cheddar smokies, Alphabet tatertots, Mandarin orange "c"s, barbecue sauce, and more tater tots.

Kids Cook Monday

Check it out!

So, last week, I was a little distracted. I've been sick and really everything kind of fell by the wayside. Anyway I wanted to share this with everyone because it is something that is special to me.

My Dad is a wonderful baker. Growing up we used to have these huge pizza feasts! My dad would bake pizza from scratch, italian rolls from scratch. Then on the weekends he would make biscuits, from scratch. He made breads, sweet and savory. He made any kind of bread you could think of. There were times he even made his own pasta, but that isn't baking is it? lol

Anyway, my point is, this is something I remember fondly of my childhood. Now, I pride myself on being able to cook well. I won't even begin to claim I am a chef or anywhere NEAR a chef. My sister is the chef, Nationally recognized at that. But I think I can pretty well hold my own in the kitchen. But the one thing I DON'T do is bake. oh, yea, sure. I can open a box with the best of them. But I don't sift flour, or knead dough. It's just not something I like to do. I like to make cakes, but never from scratch.

However, it is something I want my kids to experience. And so, I ask my dad to step in...

He and Nathaniel had fun making rolls to go with some really great soup I made that night. They all got eaten before I could take a finished product pic, but I did snag this one of Nathaniel being goofy.

He loved how you can see his eye in this pic :D

I really want my kids to develop a love of cooking for what it is: creative, fun, and a way to show your loved ones you care. It's days like this that I thoroughly love being a Mom.

Happy Healthy Monday Everyone!

ps... For those looking for my Muffin Tin Monday post, it's coming....
