Over the last few weeks I have made the following recipes. They are super yummy, have very few ingredients and are very easy...Because that's how I roll. You should try them :)
Red Chili meatloaf-This is a family favorite, we have made it with turkey too and its yummy!
Taco Squares- adapted from Vintage Victuals
2 tubes of 6 Pillsbury crescent rolls
1 lb ish lean ground beef
taco seasoning
Shredded cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Apply cooking spray to a large baking sheet and set aside. Brown meat and taco seasoning. Roll out the crescent dough and divide into rectangles, pinching the seam of the 2 triangles together to form oblong rectangles of dough.
Spoon a dollop of the taco mixture onto one side of each crescent rectangle and top with shredded cheese. Fold one end of the rectangle over the filling to form a square. Pinch the dough together around the edges to seal, and place the squares on prepared sheet. Bake for 20-25 mins or until golden brown.
We served them guac and salsa

Take 1 chicken taco seasoning packet and cover the bottom of the crockpot. Lay 3 frozen breasts on top of the seasoning--This makes a TON. We doubled it and had left overs for days (and 7 people ate it the first day I might add). Take one container of fresh pico and cover the chicken. Pour 1/4 cup of olive oil and 1/4 cup water over the top of everything. Do not stir.
Simmer in crockpot for 4 to 6 hours on low. If you’re home, flip it halfway through, but not necessary. Remove chicken and shred with a fork. Stir back in, mixing everything up, and let cook/simmer for at least 30 more minutes.
We served them on tortillas with sour cream, guac, salsa and lots of cheese!
I am hoping to start cooking a little more. Now it is really only a few times a week, but we are big grillers so when it warms up, it's on!
In Emmy news, she has really found her voice. She will yell at you if you don't talk back to her. It is hysterical. I will have to get it on film. She is trying so hard to talk. Sometimes she looks like she is about to lose it, but really she is so excited that she gets a huge grin and her face turns red. She is so close to laughing too. My mom was bouncing her on her knees and then I did it too and there was a little chuckle. I can't wait for the full blown belly laughs. She weighs a little over 13lbs according to my scale at home. I just weighed myself and weighed her with me so that may not be totally accurate, but we will see in a week a half what her growth as been at her next wellness appointment. Finally, we are going to get her ears pierced on Friday. It is something we have thought a lot about and we decided we would rather get them done now, when she will likely never remember and when we can take care of them ourselves. We figure at some point she is going to want them done and in talking to the woman at the salon who is going to do them, now is the time. She said when they get older, they don't forget so quickly and they really struggle to do the other ear. So that is that. I will post a picture when it's done. We are going to do simple small studs, nothing blingy because Em is a classy lady.
Because I can't post without a picture, here is one of Daddy holding Em last Saturday. Zig and I are on the committee that plans the Run for the Zoo and as a special treat we got to go to the elephant barn and see Daisy the baby elephant. Part of the money we raised in the past helped make it possible for Daisy to be here today, so that was fun.
Here's one of Daisy. She is such a little ham. She was rolling on the floor and playing in the water. Sorry, it's a little blurry. She was all over the place.
