A School Art Tip

Are you tired of all the papers that are sent home from school? I AM, and Tiny does NOT like me to throw anything away but we HAVE too! Not sure what show I saw this on BUT I LOVE this idea. TAKE A PICTURE of your muffins work, then print the photos and put them in a picture album for that year! Cool huh?

A FUN Sippy Bottle!

I found these FUN Tummy Tickler sippy juice bottles at HEB for about $2.00. They have different fun tops. We got the Thomas the Tr@in and B@b the Builder! BUT they have all sorts of good characters! I thought these would be fun for a play date or even party favors. On Tuesdays I try to always take James a "treat" Mommy guilt when I pick him up from Mother's Day Out and he gets WAY excited when he sees a new sippy bottle on in his chair! The cool part is that you can take the figure off the top and wash it ALL (on the top shelf)and reuse this FUN sippy bottle.
*The juice is NOT that great so now I just pour it out and fill it with something else.
Alright, head on out and grab these cute Tummy Tickler sippy bottles from HEB or other store that carry them! Happy Tuesday!

Quesadilla Casserole


(picture from the McCormick Website)
Last night I made the Quesadilla Casserole from McCormick's: Recipe Inspirations and it was SO YUMMY! The packs are about $1.50, that includes the pre-measured spices and the recipe. This was SO fun, well I thought so. So go to your local grocery store and stock up. I think these would be the BEST to make and take to a friend who is needing a yummy meal!
I would change the name to Enchilada Casserole....it does NOT remind me of a quesadilla BUT STILL so GOOD!
*Here is what I did different from the recipe:
-Added salt and pepper when browning the meat
-I did NOT add green chiles
-I DID drain the corn and used a 15oz can not the smaller one
-I added MORE salt and pepper to the beef mixture
-I used CORN tortillas
-I did NOT use the crushed red peppers
