Lasagna

So this is something I seem to always get reviews about when I make it. It's a great dinner when having company. It does take a little bit more effort then most of the meals I post. The picture is of the first time I did gluten-free noodles. So it's a little different then I'm used to. This also has the recipe for non oven ready pasta. It does work either way.

Ingredients
- 13 lasagna noodles
- 2 lbs spaghetti sauce
- 1lb or one cube of shredded cheese
- 1 onion
- 2 lbs cottage cheese
- 2 lbs ground beef

Instructions
- preheat oven to 350°
- fry up hamburger and onion together
- boil lasagna noodles if using non oven ready
- in a bowl mix most of the cheese with the cottage cheese
- once hamburger is cooked drain the greese
- mix the speghitti sauce with the hamburger
- sprinkle a little cheese on the bottom of the pan
- layer noddles, hamburger sauce mix and cheese mix
- repeat until reach the top of the pan (if using oven ready do not put noodles near the top. It will not cook probably.
- sprinkle some cheese on top
- cook for 30 min basically until cheese is melted
- enjoy!

Easter ideas for year old

Lot of mom's wonder at easter time what to get there little ones on there 1st or 2nd Easter. This is what I did. Plus some other ideas. 

-puzzles-

No matter how young the kid is they will grow to play and learn with puzzles. It's good to do wood so not have to worry about choking. 

-books-

Books are always great for kids of every age. Even if it's just something for them to feel or to look at pictures. Around holidays the stores always have books around to help kids learn about the holiday or just have a story for that time of year.

-basket-

To me baskets are a tradition. If it's just the first I would do something a little cheeper. My first kid I did one that would fit everything inside. This kid I just did a one small enough to hold 12 small plastic eggs. And he loved the basket.

-plastic eggs-

The eggs don't really work if they are only a few months old. But for someone close or over a year old to me is a must. Besides just being tradition they work for learning colors, making a game to find them, working with hand coronation, and just something fun. I did plastic cars instead of eggs because they work the same and it brought more fun after easter.

-stuffed animal-

Who doesn't love a stuff animal? As long as you remove the tag it is safe around young babies for the most part. If they are really young just get one that has the year on it or one that says first easter. It's great to look back on. Also great for pictures.

-chalk-

Okay I'm going to admit this is the first time I did this one. I figure it's getting warmer and if old enough it's a good way to start coloring. 

-clothes-

All kids need clothes and having easter clothes is just nice. Yes I went with nice. It's also useful. You can do anything from full outfits to just parts. Like a hat. It also works with any age.

-odds and ends-

This is stuff like washcloth, plates, cups, and utensils. Stuff that is useful but basically filler items seeing as to young for sweets. 

- memorials-

Like the wooden egg to put a first easter foot print, stuff to do a wall foot print, first easter picure frame. Ect.

First easter craft

This is something I did for my son's first easter about a year ago. It's not expensive and works as cute decor.

Materials
- wooden egg little bigger then baby foot
- water paint
- permanent marker

Instructions
- paint the egg and let it dry
- once dry paint the baby foot and press it on the egg
- carefully remove the foot
- repeat with other foot on other side if want
- write first easter and the year ect.
- optional take pictures with baby next to the egg

Dinner/ groceries planning

Sorry it's been awhile. I keep forgetting to take pictures or just been busy with life.
I want to give someone out there some advice on how I been figuring out dinners/ groceries.

You can see in the picture below I use a whiteboard. I've divided it into sections. Top area I use to put meals I've already bought food for. So I can have a list to pick from. The bottom right I use to put dinners I crave during the week. Also when it comes to  the deadline to figure out groceries for the next two weeks. I put the dinners that I'm going to be shopping for. The bottom left I use to put things we need to pick up that's not a meal. Also when I need room for more meals. Then normally I make a check list on my phone and put down the ingredients I need to pick up and the items that also need to be picked up or priced. Then when I get home from shopping I move my dinners to the top part of the whiteboard. Once a dinner has been cooked I erase it.

Hope this helps. I know it not exactly finding dinners but hey.
