Great Ribs

I made these for Buddy as an experiment.  I just KNEW they weren't going to be very good because, how can ribs be good in a crock pot!?

They were amazing!

I didn't have any cayenne pepper so I just left it out.  They were kind of sweet, but I liked them like that.

I ended up eating a little less than half.  I was hoping Bud would eat most of it.  Ribs are fattening lol.

On a side note.  I have been stress eating randomly.  I ate cookies tuesday and today I ate cookie dough, and NOT small portions.

I've lost 10.2 lbs but I still have more I need to get off.  If anyone has some suggestions please let me know. 

The Rest of This Week

This week has been very up and down (which is to be expected).  Grandma, Caylee and I went to Sams and picked up ingredients to make her homemade rolls.  

When we started making, I followed her around and made her measure every.little.ingredient. 

 I mean, doesn't this batter look delish?

I got the recipe jotted down and we went to separating (after it rose of course)

Yes, her hands are clean.  We made 24 rolls then grandma made 24...

Dun, Dun, Dun...

Pure delishishness.

Everything turned out amazing.

I made the rolls for Thanksgiving at my in-laws tonight, and I think they turned out pretty good.  We had fun today.  It doesn't always cancel out the bad in the days, but it helps. 

I will always miss my baby.  Not a day goes by that I'm not constantly thinking about her.  I want to talk about her all the time, but I know it isn't always fun for other people to hear about her.  It will always make people uncomfortable, that's just something I have to get use to.

Tinfoil Chicken

A-mazing recipe.  Fast and simple!

Ingredients:

Tinfoil

4 Chicken Breast

1 box Stove Top Stuffing

Seasoning of your choice

Broccoli

Cauliflower

Ranch

Cheese

Chicken stuffing, and Salt Lick seasoning.

I pre-cooked the stuffing, although it was really moist when I pulled it out, so you don't HAVE to pre-cook it.

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees

Cut 4 pieces of tinfoil
Spread the stuffing evenly between the four pieces
Set chicken on top of stuffing
Season
Add broccoli and Cauliflower on top of chicken
Add cheese
Put a little ranch on top
Cup tinfoil
Add a little water
Put in baking dish

If you use thick chicken breasts like I did, cook for 1hr 15mins

If you flatten your chicken cook for 50 mins

Easy peasy

When Buddy gets home I plan to make this with Bacon instead of veggies.  I will let you all know how that turns out. I'm sure he will love it.  He HATES veggies.

Thank you AshleyAnthony2B from BOTB for this recipe.

Today

I made this sticky bun breakfast ring for breakfast.  I followed the recipe like she says to do it, not like the pictures look.  I only used ONE can of biscuits, she says she used two in the pictures but that she would just do one from now on.  So this is what they're suppose to look like. ;) They were good, quick and easy.  I will definitely keep this recipe on hand. 

Before baking

After baking

After flipping

I am going to a M.E.N.D. meeting tonight.  I'm excited about it.  I'm not sure how it will go, but I am hoping to meet some people who can relate to me, in this area of my life.

And now for a random picture of Caylee, are you ready?

Don't mind my hair, I just got out of the bath and I was heading to bed -Caylee

Don't judge me for putting up this picture, she's not even using the potty (as you can tell by the closed lid). Who knows who she was trying to act like here.

Happy Tuesday.

Please Go Make This

Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie.

So yummy, and good for you!  (If you don't devour the whole recipe, like I did).

My life, One minute you're up, one minute you're down.  I may try to go to a M.E.N.D. (Mothers Enduring Neonatal Death) meeting this coming Tuesday night.  Buddy thinks I'm crazy, but it's not counseling, it's a support group.  I really want to meet other moms who have gone through this.  Maybe we can help each other.  I might be crazy... who knows. LOL.

I started reading "Empty Cradle, Broken Heart" I have to take it a little at a time.  There was a part I got to that really struck a chord with me.  It talked about after your baby is born you look forward to all the milestones you would hit, things you would do with them, you focus on the future.  With the baby you loose, you will never get to experience those times in their lives or your lives.  That is something I have to remember, stop focusing on what will never be, and remember where she is.  She is waiting for us in heaven, getting loved on by angels and the Lord. Now I have to focus on MY future.  What I am going to do with this, I have to focus on Caylee, my husband, future children.  Kyndal will always be my baby and a huge part of our lives, even though she only stayed a short time.  I have memories with her, though they are few they're still memories I will forever cherish.

Dinner Review and a Big THANK YOU!

This was dinner tonight.

It is from THIS recipe I found on Pinterest thanks to Jessica King! ;)

I really liked it.  It should definetly be a must try in any house hold.  It's easy to make and you can just let it sit.  I will say, it is very messy, kind of like sloppy joe's.  We ate it on Loaf bread from H.E.B.  If you think of any other ways to eat it, please let me know.

Now go turn your crock pot on, you know you want to!

A great big THANK YOU to BOTB!

You are all awesome! I seriously would not have made the above meal if I would have known this was coming in today! I can't wait to try it out.

I mean, look at all this food.  I was so excited when I saw it on the front porch.  Ladies, I love you all and I appreciate everything, listening to me gripe, whine, and post the dumbest things you have ever seen.
