Meatball Sub Bake

This is the second time I've made this dish. I found the recipe on Pinterest. It looked so yummy I knew my family would like it.


1 can Pillsbury Grands Biscuits
1 bag frozen meatballs
1½ cup to 2 cups spaghetti sauce
1½ cups shredded mozzarella


Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut up each biscuit into small pieces.  Place on bottom of 9x13 inch baking dish.  Cover with sauce. 



Evenly place meatballs on top of sauce. Cover with cheese. Bake at 375 for 30-40 minutes. 


Pictures don't do it justice, but it is delicious!

Year of Dates --- Mike's Christmas Present

Mike and I have been together for almost 8 years but when we first met we really didn't do much dating. Now we have two kids and it's even harder to go on dates.  So, for his Christmas present I knew exactly what I wanted to get him. A year of dates!!


First, I had to figure out 12 places we could go and things we could do. That was probably the hardest part.  Then I gathered my supplies. For each month I wrote a paper inside that explained what we were going to do for that month's date. All of the dates are prepaid, so there's a gift certificate or cash inside to cover the date expenses. 


We opened presents a few days before Christmas because I couldn't wait any longer to surprise him. Inside the box I put a paper explaining what the year of dates entailed. He LOVED it!! 



Since it was practically January, I let him open the January envelope.  It is dinner at the local brewery and tickets to the movies to see Taken 3.  


I'll be sharing pictures from each date and what exactly we did each month on here and on Instagram.  Some dates are just simple and others are more extravagant (June is our honeymoon so that's our June date).

Christmas Day 2014

On Christmas morning we had to wake up the kids to show them that Santa came!!  

They hurried downstairs and Marley quickly passed out their presents. 



I'll do another post with what we bought them, but Santa did deliver the requested silly string and cars. 






After we finished opening presents at our house we got ready and Mike and the kids headed to his dads, while I headed back to my moms.  After we ate Mike and the kids came to my parents house to open more presents.  



They received lots of great stuff and had a great time playing and eating too much sugar. 


Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas too!
