A Blast of Energy

After my last post I got a blast of energy! I strapped the baby to my back using our favorite carrier, The Ergo Baby Carrier, and we got to work picking up the kitchen. Then we went to make a meatloaf when I realized I was out of eggs. So I remebered using mayo once when I ran out of eggs for a cake and I figured I'd try it in the meatloaf. I was a bit nervous but it came out great! Of course my little monkey feel asleep, as she often does while in her Ergo, so I put her down for a nap. If you would like to learn more about Ergo Baby Carriers you can check them out here http://www.ergobabycarriers.com/.


I then decided it was time to take an inventory of my kitchen. I counted both freezers, the pantry and the cabinets where we keep th baby's food. Looking at my jotted down mess on scrap paper I was inspired to find a better way of keeping track of what I had on hand. That is when I found this great website http://www.organizedhome.com/! I downloaded and printed a freezer, pantry and larder inventory sheets as well as a shoppng list template. Plus, they have an assortment of different templates you can print to create a Household Binder including a Cover and Binding Label for the binder you create!

Here is my Recipe for:

Mommy's Meatloaf- A Kid-friendly Meatloaf

Ingrediants:                                                                         

2lbs of Ground Beef

1/2 cup of Italian style bread crumbs

3tbsp of Hellmann's Mayonaise

1 tsp of celery salt

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/4 cup ketchup

Directions:                                                                      

Preheat oven to 350 degress. Mix ground beef with all

ingrediants except for the ketchup. Form into your

standard meatloaf form and bake in a 9x13 pan for

25 minutes. Spread ketchup on top of meatloaf and

return to oven for another 10 minutes.

When all the kids are home I choose to make the meatloaf in cupcake pans and top with ketchup. This way everyoe gets their own meatloaf cupcake!

Im storing mine til tomorrow because I forgot my mom was making dinner for us tonight!
