ROCKSTAR

SO here I am drinking this dainty little Rockstar trying to wake up this morning I was so tired I opted to go strait to the fridge for the Rockstar instead of going for the Coffee this morning. So my sleeping in is getting better I am up around 8 :30 most of the time except for yesterday when I was up at 5:45 thanks to my son but it was good I got my grocery shopping done early and was home to enjoy my day. I need to get ready for today jump in the shower and try to manage this mess on my head I call hair I hate it it drives me crazy I need a definate new hair do but I will probably stick to the same old thing my only other option at this point is to cut it and that is not about to happen not shorter anyway maybe a simple trim I am thinking bangs next time.

UGH

Oh my god I am so sleepy so I got up around 8:30 despite my alarms yes that is plural I set three going off at 6:00 6:15 and 6:30 I slept right through them but I was up before 10 that is a good start the first place I went was straight to my Coffee pot and brewed a nice cup of Joe. I drank about three cups before I could function without a scowl on my face but I was up before 10 and that is doing better. Maybe I wont strive for such an early time tomorrow lets try for 8:00 that is a half and hour earlier. I will keep you posted...on another note I have Bunco Tonight woo hoo I actually have only plaid Bunco once at a tournament for the make a wish foundation in Mesquite so I actually do not know how to play but with plenty of Maragritas to go around and a few bloody mary's it wont matter I will make up my own rules I will have to tell you how it goes tonight maybe they will kick me off their team. haha that is probably what will happen

Sleeping in

I am in serious trouble. I have not been able to get up past 10 am for a week now I hate it I waste me whole day I am staying up too late and I cant sleep well this stops today I am wasting my life away in bed not to mention time with my family. I am going to drug my self up on Tylenol PM tonight at like 9 and go to bed I hope to be up and drinking coffee by 6 :30 so for the first time this year I can see my kids off to school and maybe have some alone time before the monster wakes up. I will report tomorrow and how successful I was with this until then sweet dreams

Tiny Green Cabbages

Tonight we had Brussel Sprouts, this week in our wonderful co-op we were given these tiny little cabbages. We have gotten these before and I am sad to say that I let them go Bad and I threw them away. ( hahaha that was not supposed to rhyme) I was not going to let that happen so tonight I got online and tried to find a way to prepare these wonderful green veggies which by the way are packed with great vitamins and nutrients. So this is what I found....

Brussels Sprouts Cheesy Casserole Recipe

Cheddar cheese adds a nice cheesy taste to brussels sprouts!

2 (10 oz.) pkgs. frozen Brussels sprouts (I used fresh and just steamed them)
2 slightly beaten eggs
1 1/2 c. soft bread crumbs (2 slices)
1 (10 3/4 oz.) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbsp. chopped onion
2 tbsp. butter, melted

Cook Brussels sprouts according to package directions; drain. Cut sprouts into fourths and set aside.

Combine eggs, half the crumbs, soup, cheese, onion, and dash pepper. Fold in sprouts.

Transfer to a 1 1/2-quart casserole. Combine remaining crumbs and butter; sprinkle atop sprouts. Bake uncovered in a 350 degree oven for 35 minutes.

Makes 6-8 servings. --www.cooks.com.

Now I tried this let me just say it was pretty good I used to much salt thought we love salt at our house but the cream of mushroom and butter which was salted added a little to much salt. Did I mention the SALT!!! I served this yummy dish on the side with some elk steak that I beat to death and battered in egg and flout with a little more salt and pepper and some other seasonings and to round it all out I added some crescent rolls. I LOVE CRESCENT ROLLS.

Just thought I would share my odd but pretty good, nice and fattening dinner with my few readers to give you something new to try if you are like me and desperate for some easy but new dining options.
