Stuffed Mexican Shells..

These are so good.. A friend of mine from work Marla gave me this recipe and the whole family loves it....

 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey)
1 package low-sodium taco seasoning
 4 ounces cream cheese
 16 jumbo pasta shells
 1 1/2 cups salsa
 1 cup taco sauce
1 cup cheddar cheese
 1 cup Monterrey jack cheese
 For toppings opt.  green onions
Sour cream


 Preheat oven to 350°. In a pan brown the ground beef; add taco seasoning and prepare according to package directions. Add cream cheese, cover and simmer until cheese is melted. Stir together and mix well. Set aside and cool completely. While ground beef is cooking, cook the pasta shells according to package directions; drain. Set shells out individually on cutting board or baking sheet so that they don’t stick together. Pour salsa on bottom of a 9×13 baking dish. Stuff each shell with 1-2 tablespoons of the meat mixture. Place shells in 9×13 pan open side up. Evenly cover shells with taco sauce. Cover dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, add shredded cheese and bake for 10-15 more minutes with the foil removed. Top with green onions or olives if desired. Serve with sour cream and/or more salsa.

While I was making the freezer meals I had some chicken that I needed to do something with. So I was busy with the freezer meals so I just seasoned the chicken and added a few toppings and they turned out awesome...


5 chicken breast
creole season
1 can black beans rinsed and drained
2 cups frozen shoe peg corn
1 can rotel drained
1 teaspoon cumin
mexican cheese

Season the chicken with creole season and place in tinfoil that has been sprayed with cooking spray.  Mix the beans, corn, rotel and cumin together in a bowl. Spoon over chicken and fold foil around and leave a small pocket at top for steam. Bake 400 for 1 hour and sprinkle cheese over tops and dig in.

Getting ready for back to school and football...

Well vacation is over :( and now it is time for us to get ready for school and football...  So I have been preparing our household by organizing closets, cabinets and kids rooms. I have put together lots of freezer meals for us to have for very busy days ahead. These recipes are already posted on here for you guys. By doing these things ahead of time it is seriously going to save me lots of time being a working mom. Here are some pictures for you guys to see what I have gotten done. 

 For the meat loaf, hamburgers and the mexican meatloaf I stored in freezer bags.

 The baked spaghetti and Chicken spaghetti I put together in metal pans and covered in heavy duty tinfoil.

 For the organizing I got plastic cubes, baskets and colorful crates. These ideas have really cleaned up our closets..

 We made the boys bunk beds into loft beds by adding to them which made all kinds of storage under their beds. I also ordered them new bedding which hasn't got here yet..

Coming this week..

Its time to get the kids ready to go back to school, football is starting and fall is on its way..
Which means our lives will be getting very hectic soon.  So I am getting a jump start on things to help our days go smoother. I am taking advantage of my dads garden, by putting up the veggies for us to have this winter. Organizing the kids closet and turning the boys beds into loft beds so they will have more space. I have gotten storage baskets for then to each have in their bathrooms for their stuff and I am going to start on some freezer meals this weekend for us to have on very busy days.. I will be sharing pictures of these ideas with you guys and hopefully you guys can use some of the ideas to make your lives easier for the school year.  Be back soon..
