Italian Chicken Sausage Pasta

For some reason this summer I haven't felt like cooking very much.  I've just resorted to hot dogs, burgers, pizza or other quick dinners.  Once I saw this recipe on pinterest I knew I had to make it soon.  It was so good!!

1 lb pasta, cooked according to package directions

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1 pound Italian Chicken Sausage, cut into 1/4 inch thick slices

1 1/2 cups alfredo sauce

2 cups marinara sauce

1 teaspoon ground dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried ground basil

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add an additional tablespoon of oil if needed, and add sausage chunks. Add in oregano and basil and cook the sausage for 3-4 minutes, or until it starts to brown.

Stir in alfredo and marinara sauce and cook over medium heat for a few minutes. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 – 20 minutes over low heat.  Add in cooked pasta and stir to combine.

Crock pot Freezer Meal Chicken Tacos

It's time for another freezer meal.  This time it's Crockpot Chicken Tacos.  After dinner Mike said these are the best tacos ever!

1 packets taco seasoning

1 jar salsa

6-8 chicken breasts (I used small chicken breasts and used 7 and it made enough for about 10 tacos)

Combine all ingredients in crock pot and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 6.  Remove chicken and shred, return to crock pot for a few more minutes before serving.

Since I made mine before and froze it, I just tossed it all in the bag and froze it.  Then just put it in the fridge to thaw overnight and poured it into the crock pot. Super easy!

Marley left her beloved teddy bear at the ice cream shop, these were his replacements until we went and got him back. 

Cousin Fun

A lot of the month of July was spent with my niece, Maliyah and my nephew, JJ.  My oldest niece was in Texas so we didn't get to spend much time with her, but she was out this week and we did some shopping.

When JJ came out we went to the Indianapolis Colts Day at Fair Oaks Farms.  The weather wasn't all that great so they actually starting packing stuff up as soon as we arrived.  The two football players that came were over an hour late because of the weather too.  The kids still had fun though.

When I took JJ home then I brought Maliyah back to stay the night with us.  We went up to the splash pad and out for lunch and just played outside. 

 She came back a few weeks later and stayed with my mom so we went to Bellaboos to play.  

Marley loves spending time with her cousins so I'm glad she got almost a whole month worth of time time with them.
