This mornings breakfast was...
CINNAMON ROLLS!
I made a batch a couple weeks ago, froze half of them and pulled them out last night for breakfast this morning!
Kamdin still doesn't have much of an appetite from being sick the past couple days (fingers crossed that he is over it and none of us get it!) so he didn't partake, but Harlee and Dustin did and enjoyed them, like always!
When we made the frosting for the cupcakes on Thursday, I saved it so we pulled it out this morning and used it to frost the cinnamon rolls...they were VERY colorful :)

What's for dinner at YOUR house?
Harlee requested meatloaf a couple nights ago so that is what I (maybe Dustin) will be making.
Here is my own meatloaf recipe:
1lb of ground beef
1 egg
1/2 cup of oats
approx 2T of ranch
1T minched garlic
1T chopped onion
Sprinkle of dill seasoning
Mix all of the ingredients together, put into a loaf pan, squeeze some ketchup on top and bake at 350 until done.
Honestly, the dill seasoning makes it taste SO good!
Along with meatloaf tonight, I am going to make cornbread. Because I have it in the cupboard, I will be using a boxed one this time :)
Mmmmmm...I can't wait to eat!

Slacker making a comeback...
I have been slacking on my baking, but today I am back in the kitchen.
This morning I made cupcakes to decorate at mom's group, but Kamdin got sick so we frosted them here at home with some homemade buttercream frosting, yum!
Right now I have 2 mini loaves of a modified version of Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bread
And tonight for dinner we are making homemade pizza's using this Pizza Crust
Besides Kamdin being sick, it is a pretty good day here at the Miller house :)

Grocery Shopping
I normally don't mind grocery shopping, but today I was dreading it. Kids still not feeling well so I was a little nervous about how it would go. Well, it went great! They were very good which made my trip out pleasant!
I went to grocery outlet, which doesn't happen all that often, but thought I would see what great deals they have right now. I got a few different thing, but the best deals were a spritzer salad dressing...RANCH!!! For $.99!!! And a box of ritz, but generic brand, also for $.99!
From there we went to Costco for eggs and milk. Honestly, can you really go into Costco and come out with just eggs and milk...of course not! I didn't get anything new or fancy, just some of my normal stuff that I had forgot we were out of until I was there.
So onto a recipe...
A couple days ago I put a pork roast in the crockpot with some Mexican seasoning, then shredded it, left some in the fridge and froze the rest.
Tonight for dinner I am going to mix the pork from the fridge with some mixed peppers and onions, shred some cheese and wa-la, fajitas! Nice and easy for a cool rainy day! I am going to have a salad with my new ranch spritzer :)

Friday means WEEKEND!
I only work Mondays and Wednesdays, but I still LOVE the weekend!
Fridays are usually time that I get to spend with just Kamdin while Harlee is in school, but last night she told me she didn't feel good and the same thing followed this morning. I decided to go ahead and keep her home and low and behold, she IS sick. Her fever went up to 103 degrees. I finally caved and gave her some meds this evening because she was complaining and whining and I felt bad for her. Well, her fever broke and she is back to normal at 9pm! :)
Boring Friday for us because of her feeling this way. Hopefully tomorrow she will wake up feeling refreshed so we can go do something (not sure what yet!)

Snacks!
Harlee is SUCH a snacker, she would much rather snack than eat a meal (which I don't allow!). I am sick of buying snack foods because as a whole, they are not as healthy as something I can come up with at home.
Yesterday, via Carly (again!), I found this fun, healthy and yummy recipe.
Crunch Apple Rings
I made one for each of my kids this morning and they both ate them right up and Harlee even came up to me after and said, "those were good"!
I have the rest of the cut apples in the fridge soaking in water (to avoid browning) for this afternoon's snack!
Thanks again Carly for sharing all of your great ideas!!!
