Carrot soup.... it's what's for dinner.



Carrot soup

1 lb ground beef (browned and drained)
cook with chopped onion, I used dried onion, as much as what looks good
2 cans, cream of celery soup
2 cups of tomato juice, or one soda can size, or 3 of the little cans Its not really exact. I've used all 3 measurements before and it turns out the same.
2 T brown sugar
1 lb of carrots peeled and grated (easiest way is to buy a small bag of baby carrots and run them through a salad shooter)
1/4 tsp garlic salt
salt & pepper to taste

mix it all in your soup pot and simmer until the carrots are tender (about 20 mins)

a little rock and roll

A while ago the kids and I went to Laura and JR's house for dinner. It was delicious I might add. Home made Philly steak sandwiches, yum. Dallin and Sarah were really good the whole time. Other than Sarah falling off the bed it was a pretty good night. The kids decided to play rock band! This is classic Dallin breaking into song that I thought I'd share. We really do need to hang out at their house more often it was fun.

Sleeping babies among other things


Tonight I made this for dinner (this is not a picture of my actual dinner, but it really does look like that after you make it) It was quite good if I do say so myself. Click HERE for the recipe over at Our Best Bites.
I'm now in love with their Blog! I read it once and drooled over every recipe I read there. And wait there's more... they have a cook book too! I'm trying these on Friday as a test run to make for Dallin's Valentines Party at school on the 10th.
Awesome Right!?

But the whole time I was trying to clean up after my very tasty dinner all that was happening or rather not happening is Sarah NOT sleeping. I was listening to the monitor; Sarah screaming for an hour, not sleeping.
I was waiting for her to fall asleep so I could work on a little sewing project, which I might have bitten off more than I can chew with this one but it's going to be cute! Here's a sneak peek. I'm pretty excited!

Now that she's asleep I've given up and resorted to watching netflix and blogging. Maybe when my show is over I'll go sew some more!
