Sunday Supper 11/14!

Sunday was a laid back day.  I was excited to volunteer for the first time in the Church Nursery, but my paperwork had not been processed yet so after checking in the kids to their rooms I attended service.  Pastor Jeff delivered a great message and I'm happy I didn't miss it!  After Church we spent the day catching on housework and I was even able to squeeze in a quick grocery store run.  In the evening my parents came over and we celebrated my moms birthday with a spaghetti and meatball dinner!  The kids had SOOO much fun!  It amazes me how just a few blown up balloons can keep 4 little ones entertained for hours-some photo are below!  I hope your weekend was just as sweet! :)

Breakfast Burritos...Ole!

Today I wanted to share a quick recipe (if you could even call it that).  Last year on our camping trip, some of my fellow mom friends made yummy breakfast burritos.  I just remember thinking how delicious and easy they were to make!  Well, after reading one of my favorite blogs, Alicia's Homemaking , I was reminded once again of these scrumptious, easy-peasy breakfast items.  I was going to make them with peppers, onions and spinach...but opted to keep them very simple for the kids.

Breakfast Burritos

Ingredients:

-1 lb sausage

-dozen eggs

-1 package of flour tortillas

-onions, peppers, spinach, tomatoes and anything else you love!

Lay tortilla flat on section of tin foil.  Scoop an equal portion of ingredients onto tortilla.  Make sure the food is at one end of the tortilla.  Then roll over, like so...

Halfway through rolling, bring each side of tortilla in and then continue.

Ta-da!  Then roll up the tortilla in the foil.

This yielded 10 breakfast burritos to freeze!  Just remove the burrito from the foil, nuke it in the micro for 45 seconds, and you've got a yummy go-to breakfast item when you want something besides cold cereal or eggs. 

Today was a beautiful laid back day.  We were able to take the kids to park this morning and even had an impromptu play date with one of my childhood best friends parents her 2 year old daughter.  Then I was able to squeeze in our monthly Sams Club trip before dad headed to work...it was PACKED!  I was bummed that I wasn't able to help out a friend who was moving today, but I don't think I'd be much help with 4 kids in tow ;)  I hope everyone has a fabulous and productive Saturday!

Friday Kidisms 11/12/10!!!

This was a wonderful week! I always say that,"whew! This is was a busy week." But, I am figuring out that EVERY week is a busy week now! Busy but fabulous busy! Some highlights include:

MOPS-ooooh, how I just adore my MOPS friends! We fellow shipped, chatted over a yummy breakfast and worked on a super cute craft.
Busch Gardens Trip-the weather was BEAUTIFUL and I feel like we experienced so many new things since I wasn't meling in the heat!
Homeschool Meeting with the PPEA-this was my VERY FIRST meeting and I am encouraged by the lovely women I met. We had a great evening discussing holiday traditions, fellowship and created new friendships.
MNO (MOMS Night Out)-this MNO was with my super fabulous MOMS Club! A sweet friend of mine hosted and we had such a great time catching up withOUT children underfoot. A monthly night out is always MUCH needed!
Just me and my boys-my husband gave a lecture in Boca on Thursday and on his drive over he dropped our daughter off at his parents (they live about 1 1/2 hour North)...so she had a great time with her Banoi and Onoi! I also had a wonderful day with my 3 little men. It's amazing how much I can get accomplished with just three in the house!  I was also able to visit FOUR stores during my morning errands.  wow!

Apple Enchiladas are mmm mmm good!

I found this recipe a month ago and it sounded so simple and so delicious.  I just had to share!  :)


Apple Enchiladas

Ingredients:

21 ounce) can apple pie filling

6 (8 inch) flour tortillas

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup water

Directions

1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2 quart baking dish.



1A: I did not have any apple filling, so I decided to make it which was super easy! I just peeled a bag of apples,sliced, and mixed with some brown sugar and Cinnamon. YUM!

 Gotta have those adorable little baby feet in the picture!  hee hee

2.Spoon about one heaping quarter cup of pie filling evenly down the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle with cinnamon; roll up, tucking in edges; and place seam side down in prepared dish.

3.In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, white sugar, brown sugar and water. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; reduce heat and simmer 3 minutes. Pour sauce over enchiladas and let stand 30 minutes.  I did not get a picture of this.



4.Bake in preheated oven 20 minutes, or until golden.

 

Below is a picture of my leftovers that I brought to my friends homes, withOUT the mixture on top.  I brought that in a a little container for her to use.

Ennnnjoy!!!
