One week

This week was a little hectic! Our students left Wednesday morning and it was SOOOOO hard to say good bye! We really were blessed by having them for 3 weeks and they will forever have a special place in my heart! Wednesday evening Emily and Hammy were playing in her room and she fell off her couch and fractured her elbow :( Then on Thursday after seeing the Orthopedic Dr. she got her Phase 1 braces. POOR girl has had a rough week! She has really been a trooper though!!

Monday night we had grilled pork tenderloin, rosemary garlic roasted potatoes and steamed cauliflower. On Tuesday for the girls last night with us I made chicken fried chicken, mashed potatoes, cream gravy and steamed yellow squash. Wednesday I made:
Shephard's Pie

Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
- 2 c. French's french fried onions
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 c. water
- 1/2 t. each salt and pepper
- 1 package (10 oz) frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cook meat in large ovenproof skillet until browned; drain.
(I use a normal skillet and layer the ingredients in a square casserole dish for the oven)
- Stir in 1 c. fried onions, soup, water, salt and pepper.
- Spoon veggies over beef mixture. Top with mashed potatoes.
- Bake 20 min. or until hot. Sprikle with remaining 1 c. onions. Bake 2 min. or until golden.

Thursday night we had Spaghetti with meat sauce.
Friday night Hamburgers as always it is.
Saturday night I got a break from cooking and we went out for dinner at a mexican restaurant in Rosenberg with some great friends!

Hoping this week is bump free!!! Blake is headed off to camp today for a week and I am surprising him with a room makeover!! Can't wait to see his face when he sees it!
