Just for Karla =)

K, I didn't know what I was going to make for dinner. I took out ground beef (YUCK!) and ground turkey. I thought of meatloaf, but Jose & Ant aren't big on it. They wanted tacos, but we had burritos last night for dinner. Don't get me wrong, I love me some good shredded beef tacos, but boring ground beef? Nah, I'll pass!
So, I got online and found:
One Pot Beef & Rice Skillet
I used 1/2 beef & 1/2 turkey instead of all beef & the following ingredients for the remaining called ingredients


This was the final results pic


The review were as follows:
Jose~ate 2 plates & though it was really good
Ant~ate 2 plates & said it was "da bomb"
Adi~hated it, she said it smelled like throw-up. I think it was the Feta
Dom~didn't like it & ended up eating a bowl of cereal.
Me~I had to pick out the broccoli. I thought it was really good, but needed more Feta & some salt.
Hope you enjoy!

Back in the kitchen

Ok Karla, I am back & posting just for you!
I have been overwhelmed with being a "new" mama, learning routines, getting back to my self, etc.
I have been back in the kitchen, but not cooking like I do.
Well tonight, I made a full meal, even though i didn't want to, because I am completely exhausted from my Laughlin trip & Delayna adjusting to being back. I even cooked with miss fussy in her bouncer on the counter, since I don't have a good carrier yet.
Anyway, here's dinner from tonight...
I made Quick Chicken & Dumplings (as usual, click on the recipe to get it) from Betty Crocker.
Here's my biscuits before I 'dropped' them

I replaced the frozen vegis for my favorite canned vegis:

Here's what my stew looked like before I dropped the dumplings

I forgot to take an after picture. I had a hungry little girl & was trying to get baby shower stuff done.
Anyway, the results were really good. It was a bit too salty, next time I won't season them on my own. The kids really liked it and it was the best Chicken & Dumplings recipe I have ever made!
