Crackpots, Baking Cheeseburgers, and life's trials

Crackpots. The loving term of endearment my friend Casey has labeled that thing that sits on your counter & can produce a whole meal in 8 hours (or 3-4 on high).

Rotisserie Chicken in the Crackpot. It's pinned on my pinterest if you know me, and if not go search pinterest & I'm betting you'll find it. I did snap a picture of it cooking away.....Oh, and mine doesn't look like the pinterest one because of course I messed with the ingredients & stuff......It was good tho!






Baking Cheeseburgers. Casseroles. One Dish wonders.....The munchkins love this & they are picky eaters, we usually serve it with sweet potato fries (they're sweet potatoes so they're healthy, right?!)

Instructions & pics....I'm feeling accomplished right now.

Brown hamburger (1 1/2 - 2 lbs). Drain.


Add some ketchup (1/2 cupish), Mustard (1-2 Tbs), Black Pepper (1/8 tsp) and water (it called for 1/2 cup, I won't do so much next time because the end result was a tad runny)


Move burger mixture to casserole dish (I used 9x13 glass pan). Top with shredded American about 2 cups.

Roll out crescent roll dough onto top of everything & Bake @ 350ish til dough is golden brown.





Try not to trip over the big dog that believes he must lay at your feet the entire time you are in the kitchen.


He's lucky he's a good doggie.



Now onto life. Monster has an appt in Indy this week with the dermatologist again. I hate the drive to Indy. Its long. And I'll get to do it with both boys. Alone with both boys.
CJ starts physical therapy this week. I knew it was coming, but I was trying to ignore it. I'm running out of energy keeping up with the things Mason needs, I don't know how I'm going to throw in daily exercises with the little man too. The hubs won't be around much because of a new project at work & I have all the kids Thurs - Sun. All 5 kids. All alone.

I am currently accepting donations in the form of full wine bottles. Much appreciated! You're even welcome to help me drink them :)
