Miss Me??

Well, I know some of you are not too excited about me "leaving"
the blog for the week. I'm sorry!! But the good news is that when
you get to work on Monday morning all upset that the weekend is
over you can be excited to see a long post with lots of photos
of the "little bit"!!



The "little bit" is not so little anymore. She is now known as
"lil sprout"..haha. She is just a growing, growing, growing!
Even Mr. Joey thinks she's big enough to hold! (finally!!)



This weekend my main mission was to go through all her clothes!
Pack up the ones that are too small. (yep, there are actually more
of these than I realized!!) I also organized all the rest of her
clothes by size. She has more clothes than I do!!







These are her "hang-up" clothes that she can wear now!



These are her "hang-up" clothes from 6-12 months!! (I had to
go to another closet all together!!) Not to mention ALL the
millions of things folded up and put in drawers!!

Another mission:

HAIR!!!



That's right! I got my hair completely chopped off... and I LOVE it!!

The whole weekend has been a lot of fun! We even ventured off
to church this morning. We had been taking turns. I'd go and
Casey would stay with Anna or vice-versa but today we all three
went!! Anna did great!

I wanted to get a family photo but we didn't. Maybe next time!
Anna was so sweet in her little smocked dress and sweet little
sweater!! We did get some photos but not one of the three of us!



I just LOVE that picture!!

MEALS:

Friday night I made a great and EASY little chicken dish! I'd
call it parmesan chicken.

4 ingredients:

Chicken Breast
Mayonaise
Parmesan Cheese (grated)
ritz crackers

5 directions

Put Chicken breast in baking dish
Spread Mayo top of chicken
Crush ritz crackers and mix with Parmesan (just to your taste)
Sprinkle cracker mix on top of chicken
Bake 350 for one hour

So easy and VERY good! It's been requested for the "meal rotation" here!
Sorry I didn't get a picture of it!

Last night we splurged!! I made Barefoot Contessa's Beef Tenderloin!
It was delicious!!
(we are having left-overs tonight with Stouffer's Mac and Cheese!



Ingredients:

1.5-2 lbs. beef trimmed and tied
1Tbsp unsalted butter (room temp.)
Kosher salt
ground black pepper

Directions:

Preheat a CLEAN oven to 500 degrees!
Place tenderloin on pan and pat dry with paper towel.
Spread butter evenly over beef with your hands.
Sprink beef evenly with S&P (1.5 teaspoons each)
Roast exactly 22 minutes!!
Remove from oven, cover tightly with foil for 15 minutes!

This was a true treat!!!

Well, I hope you all have a very happy week! See you back
here on Sunday!! I'll leave you with a couple more photos
of the "lil sprout"!!





HappySunday!!!
