It's finally Friday, Internet Peeps!

We have a big weekend planned.  String Beane will have his first basketball game Saturday morning.  We are all pretty excited for him.  To say that we are not very athletic would be an understatement.  But, we try hard...sometimes.  String Beane has been pretty determined in basketball this season.  He started doing push ups two weeks ago because he said he wanted to score his own basket and not the kind where his coach helps "pop" the ball in the net.  (String Beane can shoot the basketball to the bottom of the net, but that is about as high as it goes.)  Miracle of miracles happened last night.  He came home from practice and said that he had scored two goals!  I looked at Mr. Homegrown for verification.  It was true!  Two goals!  String Beane went to bed on cloud nine.    I am so hopeful that he has a good game tomorrow. 

Here are my top 5 favorite finds for this week.


Gooey Butter Cake
I am making this for dinner tonight.  It looks good!


Oreo Cookie Bark


Molasses Bars


Chocolate Chunk Coconut Ice Cream


Cherry Lime Aid Sugar Cookies

Well, I clearly have sweets on the brain.  I blame New Year's resolutions.

Menu Plan Monday December 31

This is the week that we ring in a new year! I always feel super organized and ramped up to start a new exercise plan and diet.  My house is super clean and running on a schedule....for about a week.  Then I slowly get back into my typical groove. 

I think that this year my resolutions will be a little less optimistic than in years past.  No point setting my self up for failure!  I am certainly not going to make any resolutions about not eating certain foods.  That is a sure fire way to gorge on whatever I am trying to cut out.

All normal food here.  Here is the first plan of the new year!

Monday

Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup

Tuesday
Ham
Black eye peas
Cornbread
Rice

Wednesday

Sloppy Joe
French Fries
Corn

Thursday

Lime and Coconut Chicken
Rice
Edammame

Friday
Pizza

Weekend

Pork Chops Stuffed with Sausage Dressing
Sweet Potatoes
Broccoli

Happy Weekend Peeps!

We have become a bunch of lazy slobs around here.  The littles are sleeping until 8:00, playing games in their PJ's until lunch and then, maybe, getting dressed.  It has been so much fun!  I dread the lunch box packing, homework, waking up early school rut that will begin again soon enough.

Anyway, they have been playing so nicely, I have had some extra time on Pinterest.  Here are my top 5 favorites for this week.


Korean Beef


Honey Garlic Pork Chops


Oven Chicken Fajitas


Pie Crust Nachos


S'Mores Casserole

Welcome home Friday!

This is our first full day of Christmas vacation.  String Beane got out of school at noon yesterday.  Everyone was up and at 'em at 6:30 this morning!  Typical. 

All the little Beanes are so excited about Christmas.  Butter Beane and String Beane keep asking how many more days and Jelly Beane goes around the house looking for our Elf.  I am getting excited too!  I think this will be the year that Christmas morning will be so fun. 

Here are my top 5 favorites for this week. 


Crispy Ravioli and Marinara Sauce
Yum!



Cowboy Black Bean Salsa
This would be so good with some Tortilla Chips!


Lime Coconut chicken
This looks delicious!  I will be trying this out very soon.


Banana Streusel Coffee Cake with Salted Caramel Sauce


Gingerbread Cupcakes
My String Beane would love these!

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!

Any way, here are my top 5 picks for this week.  I hope you have found some good things too.
