Simple Weeknight Meals

 Happy Thursday!! I don't know about you, but we LOVE a super simple meal during the week.

So, here are some of our favorite things that come together very easily!

Red beans and rice.

Ok, I actually made fun of Caleb a little bit when he said he wanted to make Zatarain's red beans and rice. He said it was the best. I wanted to make homemade. Well, it's now my favorite way to make this meal. It's SO easy, pretty quick, and it's delish. We always add in deer sausage just because we have a ton in the freezer. And then we have it with....

Corn bread. So, nothing fancy, but it's in our weekly rotation!

Goat cheese and penne.

Still one of our very favorite things to have for dinner. It's so good and so easy! Whenever we don't know what to have for dinner, we pretty much always end up having this.

Tacos.

Ground beef. Taco seasoning. Tortillas. Cheese. Sour cream. Easiest thing ever. Authentic? Definitely not. But always hits the spot!

Babs' chicken gyros.

Ok, this is one we haven't had in forever! I think they'll go on next weeks meal plan! These gyros are easy and delish! I'm the worst when it comes to cooking chicken (I'm never convinced it's fully cooked😂), but I have no issue with this recipe!

Frozen pizza.

Simple. Easy. One of our faves! Easy to grab at the store, easy to throw in the oven. Our favorites are the Aldi ones in the refrigerator section, Screamin Sicilian, or Heart and Fire. I always drizzle hot honey on mine and dip in buffalo ranch!

Have a great Thursday!

Let's Look: January 2026

 Happy Wednesday!! Let's Look is one of my very favorite blog link ups and after not doing it last year, I am ready for it in 2026! I am linking up with Shay and Erika for this monthly series! Today, we are LOOKING at..... THINGS WE OUTSOURCE WITHOUT REGRET. Ok, there are so many things you can outsource that I just would rather do myself. I love to grocery shop. I think I would be weirded out by someone else doing my laundry. A house keeper is just not something we currently need or really want. BUT, there are occasions when outsourcing is just what needs to be done. Grocery Delivery/Pickup We don't do this often, but when we do it's pretty nice. That being said, I am usually ready to get back in the grocery store myself! Food Delivery This is another one we do not do often, but a Wednesday free delivery from Wingstop has sucked me in a few times 😂. And of course, pizza delivery is always nice! Plus, we can get food delivered to the school I work out, so that's nice e...

Friday Favorites {4.2.26}

 Happy THURSDAY. My days are getting so mixed up with a Friday holiday haha! Posting Friday Faves a day early since tomorrow is Good Friday. Whoop whoop! We're getting a 7Brew!! I'm gonna let the new wear off before I go, but dang I am so excited for this! Have y'all tried it?? My sister gave me this MacKenzie Child's cookie jar for my bday and I love!! I made some white chocolate, peanut, and M&M clusters and they looked so cute in it! I will try just about anything once haha, but I finally jumped on the Tik Tok bandwagon and grabbed this facial brush for lymphatic drainage. My mind could very easily be playing tricks on me, but I'm gonna say I see a difference! Got mind from Amazon! And I cannot close out this post without mentioning Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month! Please, please, please educate yourself on what it means to have Autism, how to explain it to your children, how to advocate, how to include, how to help- all the things!! Please remember, if...

 And just like that.....it's CHRISTMAS BREAK! And my last post of 2025! But before all of that, let's get into some faves from my week! Linking up with Erika and Andrea. Some Christmas funnies for ya.... 😂😂😂 "Underground Spirit Week" We dress up or do something silly and the students have no idea, so it's constant confusion and laughter! So fun! Monday- PJ day. Tuesday-  Anything but a bag. Wednesday- Favorite Christmas song or movie character. Oh Christmas Tree, Rocking Around the Christmas Tree, or as one student said...the Rockefeller Christmas Tree! Thursday- Christmas tree topper meets hat. This one did not last long in my hair...hahahah! Today is another PJ day for "Kinderland"! My name is Maddie, and I am obsessed with good smelling laundry.... These both smell AMAZING. The Wicked one smells exactly like the perfume I have been wearing- Jo Malone English Pear and Sweet Pea. Makes me sad that it's limited edition... I was looking for some go...
