The Family That Gets Sick Together, Stays Together

You may have noticed that things have been quiet around here the last few days and that is because the entire family has been sick.

It started with me not feeling well last Thursday and by that night, both Ellie and Peanut were throwing up all night long.  By Friday night, Zack was hit and then it pretty much took down the rest of the family.

It has not been fun.

But, we are still here.  We’ve stocked up on every Lysol product out there, have been washing our hands and doing laundry like crazy and trying to scrub down and disinfect the entire house.

Since we are having a ‘snow’ day tomorrow because of the lovely artic blast that is causing us to have temps as low as -55*F below 0 I am hoping that we can get everyone healthy and get the house back in order.

Until I return, here are a few pics to hold you over!

Crock-Pot Beef Tips & Gravy

Another new recipe for our family and another hit!  This recipe for Beef Tips and Gravy is better then what I’ve had at weddings with family style dinners and is definitely something we will be making again.  You can follow this recipe and cook day of or make it all in a freezer bag and toss it in the freezer to use at a later date.

As a family that enjoys movie as well as snacking, we are always happy to combine the two for a fun family movie night.  

Thanks to our friends at General Mills, our recent family movie night was taken care of with a copy of Despicable Me 2 and a few ingredients along with the recipe for Minion Munch Chex Party Mix.  We love Chex Mix so adding a new recipe to the mix was a lot of fun.

This Minion Munch Chex mix is just as delicious as it looks and even with making a double batch, we had no problem devouring it!
