Taking a Plunge
Hey Friends-
Are you a person that is constantly ticking and thinking outside the box. My mind drives me crazy and I know also drives my husband insane with all the ideas and shark eating ideas that rack my brain. With that said, its been an exciting week for evening table. I gained some inspiration from some local entrepreneurs and Evening Table will be getting launched soon. Not just a blog, video board, place to come to read. There will be so much more!!!
The VISION: The importance of eating together. Did you know that most American families are starved for time to spend together and sometimes dinner is the only time to reconnect, bond, tell stories, share your day. Think about this......did you know the average person spends 110 times a day checking their phones and up to every 6 seconds in the evening checking their phone. Evening Table wants to promote putting your phone to rest. Cook a meal. And sit. Talk. Pray. Eat. Enjoy ONE ANOTHER! Rejuvenate your mind and body.
Did you know, over the past 15 years research has come to find that: sharing a family meal at your evening table is good for the human spirit, the brain, the mental and physical health of all family members. Recent studies link dining together with: lower rates of substance abuse, teen pregnancy and depression, as well as higher grade-point averages and self-esteem. Studies also indicate that dinner conversation is a more potent vocabulary-booster than reading, and the stories told around the evening table help our children build resilience. Regular family meals also lower the rates of obesity and eating disorders in children and adolescents. This is only a few to mention. So put your phones down, set the table and get ready. Evening table will get your family back together!!!
Can't wait to share with you all soon!! Please stay tuned!!

Sunday's I love to make a huge late breakfast. Then you can usually skip lunch and have supper early.
Breakfast: My family loves waffles, syrup, scrambled eggs with bacon! Easy Peesy!
Supper: Make an easy crock pot meal. Throw in a roast, with carrots and cut up potato's. Save the left over meat and shred it up for tomorrow nights meal. Also save the au juice in a separate container.
Monday: Beef Noodles and Sweet Peas
Start boiling the egg noodles. In frying pan add cream mushroom, sour cream (1 Cup), left over shredded beef, and add some au juice. The au juice will have a lard of fat solid on the top, throw that away and use the nice brown juicy gel into the sauce. Let the sauce simmer and serve on the bed of noodles. With side of peas.
Tuesday: Ground Beef Philly Sandwich with veggies
Brown the hamburger, drain, etc. Then add bag of frozen fajita bag & some seasoning, usually I just use some taco seasoning! Then you will turn on your broiler. Layer the bread with some butter, add the meat mixture, and a slice of prov cheese and broil for just a few minutes, watch it so it doesn't burn! And heat some of those frozen veggies quick in the microwave! (Again I love the Caribbean & Island blend-Hyvee brand)
Wednesday: Smoked Sausage with dumplings and kraut.
We have homemade smoked sausage, usually I cook this in beer and water and just boil on the stovetop. Heat the kraut in the microwave. And I made my aunt Ritas dumpling recipe which is super easy!
Dumplings: Start to boil water. Then mix up the dough. 2 C flour, 4 TBSP baking powder, 1 tsp salt, 1 egg, 1/2 C Milk. Mix in bowl it will make dough like consistency. Shape into balls. Once water is boiling add the dumpling balls into the boiling water and boil for 10 minutes. Don't lift the lid. you will need to watch it to make sure it doesn't boil over and reduce temp.
Thursday: Left Overs (should have plenty in the fridge)
Friday: Fun Fajitas with Chips and Salsa
You can grill your steaks, or pan sear them. Once cooked. Slice long strips, Throw into cast iron skillet with the other bag of peppers in the freezer. Let everything simmer and sizzle, add some fajita seasoning or taco seasoning is fine too. Serve on tortilla with cheese and all the fun toppers!!! With Chips and Salsa! And don't forget the Margaritas!

Resolutions
Hey Friends -
What are your resolutions for 2017? I think its important for everyone to set up goals for the year and to really hold ourselves accountable. Here are some tips to getting yourself started. Remember to start small. Take it week by week. Then the goal doesn't seem so big. Start with your menu plan.
What are your resolutions for 2017? I think its important for everyone to set up goals for the year and to really hold ourselves accountable. Here are some tips to getting yourself started. Remember to start small. Take it week by week. Then the goal doesn't seem so big. Start with your menu plan.
1. Be in the Right Mind frame You have to know your why... ? How will you work to improve your life?
To put yourself in the right mindset you also need to be reading the right books, and talking to people with similar interests.
2. Make the Habit a Priority
You have to plan ahead. You can’t hope that your goals will happen to fit into your current schedule, or that by nature you will prioritize it. You have to plan your schedule and block out time. That could mean making every Saturday planning your meals for your week. How many sales calls I will accomplish in a week. For me its about creating small tasks to accomplish the bigger picture.
3. Have an Accountability Partner
An accountability buddy can help you make strides toward your goals. The important part is finding someone reliable and truly committed. They will be there to remind you to stay on track with your goals when they see you are getting distracted. Thanks to my blog followers they keep me in check & help me to realize they need me to keep writing and providing tools to make their planning habits more effective, that is what drives me friends. You are all my accountability partners.
4. Educate Yourself Nourishing your mind on the habit you choose to pursue is super helpful. Knowing more about the subject will strengthen your "reason.” Start by reading books, watching youtubes, go live videos are fun and talking to people that will help mentor you.
So with that said; if you are home today with the storm, or having to venture into work create your WHY. Make a list of goals for the 2017 year!!!

Gratitude
Hey Friends -
Its been awhile since the last post, seems I always start my blog with those words. Life has been busy I guess I have the excuse I just had a baby!! I know, crazy, exciting, exhausting, wonderful, oh so wonderful!!! We had almost exactly two weeks ago, Taylee Milla Wilson, a little girl. Perfect as can be! We didn't know what we were having so having two boys at home, we were completely over joyed to be surprised with a little girl. Wow, all I can say is I still look at her in awe at what a blessing she is to us and how much love I truly have for this child and my boys. It can be so uplifting to look at them and feel so much gratitude. Have you ever just sat and thought about gratitude and you could literally feel it?
But what true love doesn't come with some sacrifice. Its hard to believe almost a year ago, we found out we were pregnant. We were due on our anniversary July 9th. We lost the baby in late November, life a year ago was a sad time for me. Having experienced a loss early in pregnancy is a very lonely beast. Its hard to express and I won't go there today that wasn't the reason I wanted to write. I don't choose to look at that time as darkness anymore but more as an enlightening experience. I wanted to write, because October is pregnancy infant loss awareness month. So many struggle with loss, and its hard to understand why God takes you down a path you never want to travel.
I wasn't going to write about infant loss with the birth of our new baby. But yesterday my mom offered the mass for our baby we lost, it was a surprise she did that as it was something I never thought to do especially now that a year had past. But it was a good reminder of remembrance, gratitude and reflection about the road we had traveled. Have you ever experienced a tough time and looked around you and noticed different signs from heaven? The last year had given me countless works that lead me to believe everything was ok and in the place it was supposed to be. I believe its God showing us he is there. I understand now, the path God had in store for us and accepted it. As Taylee's very existence wouldn't be; have it not been for the loss. Its truly amazing to see how God works in our lives. Hope everyone finds gratitude in life's struggles and joys! I surely am counting my blessings these days!! As after the storm usually lies a beautiful rainbow of hope. Keep seeking to find and don't give up hope.
Meal Prep:
Last night I wanted to show my boys mom was still fun even with a baby latched 24/7 and healing up after a C-section. That they deserved moms attention too. I said, "I have a surprise" We cut up apples together, warmed up some caramel, and sat around a plate and shared caramel apple treats together!! It was fun and they were so excited to do that before bedtime!!
So today with gratitude on the mind, it isn't about meal plans, lists, schedules, etc. Obvious those have been far and in between here. Thankful for my mom, family and friends who have brought us meals so I didn't have to think about meal plans. So instead make a list and be grateful of your blessings and plan a fun family night. Date night. Plan a trip. Get away. Go to the park. Look at the beautiful fall trees. Just appreciate life!!!! And BE GRATIFUL. Even through the struggles we have a lot to be thankful for.

Sweet Summertime!
Evening Table
Aw the smells of summer, hope
everyone has been enjoying the summer. I realize I haven’t written for most of
it. Our life has been rather hectic. I’m learning the art of organization, adversity,
and reflection. I’ve definitely been utilizing my meal plans for the sake of
time. We commute and life is so much less stressful when I get home and I know
what’s going to be on the table. I value sitting down together as a family, I
think its important for our children to learn to eat what is made, not choose
what they want for dinner. It’s such a challenge with toddlers because they do
learn what they like and dislike. Many meals are left with full plates and it
leaves me angry they don’t want or like to eat what I spent time preparing for
them. I guess that is all part of it and it’s also that life lesson, to let go
of the small stuff. This week made me reflect on how short life is, a sweet
coworker of mine sudden passed away. I remember just the day before talking
with her scanning items in the workroom and the next day, she was gone. Life
can change in a blink of an eye. It made me think all week about life and how it’s
so short and just not fair sometimes. That we worry about things we don’t have
control of and the things we do we complain about. So my new motto is to make
changes in my life that I do have control of! Make a list for yourself; if you didn’t
have tomorrow or ask yourself if the person you loved was gone tomorrow what would
you have done today??? So what are you waiting for……… get out there and DO
IT!!!!! Check out my meal plan to help with your week planning and make life
just a bit less stressful, and spend more time with the people who matter
most!!

Live with Less
So my family is learning these days to live with less. We sold our home, that was brand new when we moved in, we lived there for almost 8 years. We sold it very quickly and are living in a 1920's bungalow family rental with one bathroom, no dishwasher, no garage, I have to use keys to unlock my door, this will be home until we find our place. Its a temporary situation, but I have to say I'm enjoying the peace of small town living and simplicity. The things I thought and cried about not having are nothing to me anymore. For example; my new hobby is putting cloths on my cloths line. I love the smell of my sheets fresh off the line. The plant from my grandma who passed away in October now sits by the sink in the kitchen so when I want to stress about all the dishes to wash, I think of her. I think of her simple life and all the dishes she once washed for her 8 children. I look at my home we are living, with beautiful 1920's trim, windows that run the course of the house. Literally I've counted 26 windows that surround the main floor of the house. Its amazing the beauty of sunlight, and how that makes you feel when you open up the windows and wake up to the mornings light. Simplicity has caused us to look at life differently. I went through a house mourning time where I thought I would miss all the glories of "new" but what is new? Its just materials. Ultimately a home is where your people are. Its the time you spend with them in a place and space in time. I'm learning to enjoy the little things and let go of the things that didn't matter. I feel its given me a new appreciation for life and focus energy on the things that do. Not to say once we find our home, I might want a dishwasher, for now I am taking this time to live with less.
Menu:
Monday: Ham, Cheese, and Lettuce Wraps with fruit
Tuesday: Jambalaya with cornbread muffins
Wednesday: Enchilada's & Black Beans
Thursday: Pizza and Salad
Friday; Burgers & Potato
Saturday: EAT OUT
Sunday: Pork Chops on Grill with Asparagus
Grocery List:
2 lbs Ground Beef
Pork Chops
Deli Ham
Ring of Smoked Sausage (already cooked kind)
Package of Pepperoni
Mozzarella Cheese (Shredded)
Mexican Cheese (Shredded)
Head of Lettuce
Asparagus
Bag of Potato
Favorite Fruit of Choice
Soft Tortillas (Large Burrito size)
Hamburger Buns
Can of Enchilida Sauce (Old Elpaso)
Can of Pizza Sauce
Italian Dressing & Ranch Dressing
Box Spanish Rice
Corn Bread Jiffy Mix
2 packages of Pillbury pizza mix
Large Can of diced tomato
Corn (I use up my frozen farm sweet corn) Canned will work though
Can of Black beans
Bag of favorite Chips
This is super easy and a go to quick meal especially come the summer months when its hot and you don't want to turn on your oven. Put tortilla on plate, layer with Mozzarella Cheese, deli ham, lettuce, and dressing (ranch or italian "let the family member pick") heat in microwave for 30-1 minute depending on your microwave. Serve with fresh fruit!
Tuesday: Jambalaya with Corn Muffins
This is my favorite meal and I alter the recipe every time I make it. I made it less spicy and used Spanish box rice to be quick. Cut up your Ring of smoked sausage (remember this is already cooked). Throw in your skillet pan. Next put your large can of diced tomatoes in with sausage, add Spanish rice with the mix then I added drained corn to this as well, along with one cup of water. For seasoning: Add a couple chicken bouillon cubes; paprika, basil, salt, pepper, (if you want some spice: hot sauce & pepper flakes). While it simmers covered on medium or low about 20 - 30 minutes (you will know as the rice will be done.) Bake up your corn muffins; follow directions on the jiffy box. I like to put in the small muffin tin, just grease up with pan and bake for like 10-12 minutes (if you bake the mini's you will want to do less time). Top with honey, my kids love those mini corn muffins!!
NOTE: Before you go to bed put out your freeze hamburger, if you didn't buy it store bought. We have a quarter of beef so I always think about tomorrows meal so you don't have to defrost when you get home.
Wednesday: Enchilada's with Black beans
Brown hamburger, but save about 1-2 cups for your pizza tomorrow and put in fridge. Then honestly I just follow the recipe on the Old Elpaso can. Drain black beans, and heat in the microwave and put a little cheese on top!!
Thursday: Pizza with Salad
Follow the directions on the pillsbury dough mix. Roll on pizza pan. Add your sauce. Next grab your left over meat you cooked yesterday in fridge, layer on top of sauce, then add cheese and pepperonis. Bake as directed on pillsbury package!! Serve with side salad
Friday: Hamburgers on grill with potatoes
Make supper easy and grill some burgers on the grill. Have a couple beers. If you are tired just have some potato chips or dice some fresh potatoes with Parmesan cheese and butter on the grill in some foil.
Saturday: TAKE OUT!!! Or eat out at favorite restaurant. You deserve to take the night off.
Sunday: Pork Chops with Asparagus
Make supper easy again and grill some chops on the grill. Season them up, even with butter and salt and pepper. Put your asparagus in foil with olive oil and salt/pepper on the grill. Supper easy but Delicious meal!!!
