New and Exciting Things!

I know I'm not the best blogger but that's ok! Steve and I have been so busy since I last posted. Since then, we moved into a new apartment and into a new ward!! And we LOVE both!! What a difference and we're so happy we did it!!

I'll start with Steve... Steve is still working at Q13 and doing really well! They recently came out of bankruptcy  and Tribune re-bought them. So we're going to be here for a long, long time. Not that we thought about moving but now it's for sure!! Fox is getting a new system for Steven's department that will make his life easier at work! And out of everyone he works with they chose Steve and one other guy to learn this system and teach everyone how to use it! I'M SO PROUD  OF HIM! He works so hard and for him to be recognized like this is amazing!!  He also got a calling at church. He is now the Elder's Quorum Secretary! How perfect is that?!?! With his crazy OCD he will keep them nice and organized!! It'll be great!!

With me, nothing is too exciting. A while back I took an extension class and it was so much fun! So if you want longer, fuller hair... Come see me! ;) Also a couple of weeks ago, I got a calling as well. I'm the new Primary President!! Hahahaha. Crazy right?!?! Let me just say that this is pretty much a second job! But I love it and am so humbled! So if anyone wants to move into our ward that has kids in primary... Do it! They'll love it!! So if our blog turns into a primary blog... You'll understand! Plus if you have any primary idea's... I'll take em!!

That's about it with Steve and I! I don't know who reads this if anyone but incase you were wondering what happened to us... You'll understand now!! Another update will be up in 6 months! Until then!! Hahaha.

CROCKPOT FREEZER MEALS!!!

Ok! So I know I haven't blogged in like a year or so but we're so busy and kind of boring. I mean all we do is work... No one wants to read about that. But I do have something very "exciting" to blog about today. Its CROCKPOT FREEZER MEALS! I've been seeing a lot about this on Pinterest so I decided I needed to try it since I work late most nights and the last thing I want to do is cook when I get home. So today, I tried it! OH MY GOSH it was AMAZING!!! Today I made 4 meals in less than an hour! It went by so quickly and it was way easier than I thought it would be. I totally recommend everyone should do it!!

 

 

Here are the recipes starting with the top left going clockwise...

 

BBQ Chicken

 

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

3/4 cup chicken broth

1 cup bbq sauce

1 sweet onion, sliced

salt and pepper to taste

 

Cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 6-7 hours. Serve with rolls and ceasar salad.

 

POTATO SOUP

 

3 lbs potatoes, diced (about 1 inch squares)

2 cloves fresh garlic or 4 tablespoons garlic powder

1 medium onion, chopped

38 oz chicken stock

8 oz cream cheese, softened

salt and pepper to taste

 

Cook on high for 5 hours or low for 8 hours. Top with Bacon, cheese, chives , sour cream.

 

 

CILANTRO LIME CHICKEN

 

1 1/2 lbs of chicken breast

juice of 2 limes

1 bunch of fresh cilantro, chopped

1 16 oz bag frozen corn

2 minced garlic cloves

1/2 red onion, chopped

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 tsp cumin

salt and pepper to taste

 

Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours. Serve with tortillas or on top of rice.

 

CROCKPOT CUBE STEAK AND GRAVY

All you do is put all of the ingredients in a gallon size bag and put how long they need to cook for and then put in the freezer. When you want to cook it, take it out 24 hours before you need it. (I let it thaw in the fridge.)
