1st Ever Casino Party

It took me a few months to plan it all out but it's done and was an ABSOLUTE BLAST. I threw my best friend a SURPRISE LAS VEGAS CASINO Party for her 30th Birthday. We got World Poker Tour Texas Hold'em and Black Jack Tables and decorated the whole house. Including moving all my living room and kitchen table OUT! It was worth it! Jeff make PW's Queso Receipe that was YUM YUM YUM and I made a new receipe from my Mom for Burritos in a Crock Pot w/ all sorts of great Appetizers from friends. The food was just as good as the gambling! Here's a few of my favorite pics!

Pickler Cont'd

Well, sometimes no matter how much planning you put into something....things just don't work out like planned.....let's just start by saying rain rain go away don't rain on my concert night! It rained allright, enough that the Homecoming Football game was delayed and then rained OUT! At the time we finally left the game soaking wet, we went all the way home to change clothes. Here's our cute little shirts we made so we would look alike.

Needless to say, on the way home to change clothes both our kids fell asleep in the car. Grammy came to the rescue and watched the kids as Jeff and I went on to enjoy the concert. We made it just as Kellie was getting on stage. It was worth it after all that.

PICKLER FANS

We surprised Brooke with a night out to see Kellie Pickler. We hope to get her autograph and picture....next blog you'll see if we do! Brooke loves country music and this will be her FIRST CONCERT!!! We are so excited that Kellie will be in Canyon, TX tomorrow night after the WT A&M Homecomng Game! Brooke & I are making shirts tonight so look for pics soon!

Sour Cream Noodle Bake (kids love it)

Here's a little favorite I've been making my family for 9+ years. It's one of those easy and delicious meals that will keep you going back for more. Hope you enjoy it, let me know!

Ingredients You'll Need:

1/2 c. Green Onions, chopped

1 lb. Hamburger Meat

8 ou. Sour Cream

8 ou. bag Noodles (spiral or wide egg work great)

1/2 t. Garlic Salt

1/4 t. Salt / Pepper

1 c.Shredded Cheese

1/2 can tomato soup or 8 ou. can tomato sauce

Preheat Oven to 350. Cook noodles according to pkg directions. Brown your hamburger meat & drain. Put back on stove and let simmer for 5 minutes after adding your tomato sauce, garlic salt, salt & pepper to taste.

Mix your Noodles, Onions and Sour Cream together in a bowl.

In an 11x13 plan, layer your Noodles

Meat & Cheese. Top with extra cheese as needed. Bake for 25-30 minutes and you are ready to enjoy!

My kids love this with spiral noodles but original recipe called for wide egg noodles. You can also just mix this all together instead of the layers and it still taste just as yummy!
