Mom, can I have a snack?
Mom, can I have a snack? How many time a day do we here that? I am trying to solve that problem. I am washing and cleaning all of my fruit as soon as I get home from the market. I put the fruit where it is accessible to the kids. I just discoved these https://www.greenbags.com/?cid=501127. They are amazing! I bought mine at Walgreens for $9.99. Here is a $5/20 coupon that you can use there tomorrow. http://www.walgreens.com/hotbuys/default.jsp.
I also buy the small snack size baggies at the store and divide up the kids favorite munchies. The staples that I always have are: goldfish, Apple Jacks, Cheerios, raisins and nuts, Chex, and Fruit Loops. In a drawer in the fridge I keep pudding cups, yogurt, and jello cups.
The kids still have to ask me for a snack, but they can get it themselves!

Salsa Chicken
Salsa Chicken
Salsa Chicken2 lbs chicken ( I used breasts.)
1 cup salsa/ 1 1/2 cups if you are using breasts
1 can black beans drained
1 cup frozen corn
I put my chicken in frozen with all the ingredients.
It took about 6 hours to cook through on low. This would be a great base for burritos!

Brown the ground beef with the onion. Add taco seasoning and water simmer 5 min. In a baking pan, layer in the following order: noodles beef, cheese, noodles, beans, sour cream, olives, noodles, cheese, beef. Combine water and salsa and pour over the top.Thaw, bake covered for one hour, uncover and bake 10 more minutes with ½ cup reserved cheese. Let it rest for 10 minutes before cutting.

Mom's Beef Stroganoff
Moms Beef stroganoff
This is great hearty meal, one of my favorites. Serve over rice or wheat egg noodles.
2 pounds top round steak sliced thinly or stew meat cut into small chunks.
2 cups beef broth2
T butter
2 T flour
1 cup sour cream
Lemon pepper and salt
Brown the meat well and season with the lemon pepper and a little salt.
Remove from the pan and melt the butter. Mix with flour into a paste and cook for one min. Add the broth slowly while whisking constantly. Cook for 5 minutes until thickened. Take off the heat and mix in the sour cream until there are no white streaks. Add the meat back to the mixture and freeze in a gallon bag. Thaw and heat in a sauce pan over med heat on in a crock pot on low.
Variations:You can thicken the broth with a cornstarch slurry or use brown gravy mixes. You can also use this as a base for beef stew and add carrot, potatoes, corn and onions. Add satueed fresh mushrooms just before serving.Use small meatballs or deer steaks instead of the beef steaksWhen you thaw it, it will look kind of chunky or curlded. Just keep heating and stirring and it will smooth out.
