Kid friendly and EXTREMLY simple (also cheap)

So one thing all mil spouses deal with is how to feed the brood without going bankrupt, which is a challenge (esp when you have 2 human garbage disposals to feed like I do). Mac n Cheese is a major staple in this house but plain Mac n Cheese wont cut it for my meat and potatoes hubby...the answer is add meat! On rotation is Chilli Mac (chilli sans the beans), Taco Mac (taco meat), Chicken Veggie Mac (Can of chicken with a bag of corn & peas). Newest item in the rotation....
Country Sausage Mac
Brown a pound of country sausage add it to a cooked thing of mac n cheese. Then add a bag of cooked peas and dinner is ready :D


Also for dessert.... Blueberry 2 ingredient cake :D
Take 1 box of Angel Food Cake mix and add 1 can of Blueberry pie filling (any berry filling is OK)
then bake according to the package directions (do NOT add anything else to the mix!)
BTW the box will say that it isnt done until the crack in it is dry...that doesnt apply here
finished product:


serve with cool whip :D

You need.....

and
(actually you need 9-10 corn tortillas warmed in the oven @ 400 degrees for about 4 min on one side 2 or so on the other)
as well as a medium onion diced,shredded cheese and 2 tbsp of chilli seasoning


What you need to do;
1. after browning the meat (with the onion) add the seasoning, taco sauce, corn & can of rotel. Simmer until the corn is cooked


2. layer bottom of the baking dish with 3 or so of the tortillas then layer with half the cheese
3. layer with another 3 tortillas and then repeat #2



4. Top with remaining tortillas and cheese

5. Bake at 350 until heated through and top with crumbled up remaining tortillas

Viola!

So updates and stuff

So the game... I called it in and did bottled water and had another mom bring snack.She did oranges and Special K bars (not the worse things ever but I am a little concerned with giving 8 year old girls special K bars...better get used to that diet food now honey :/ )
Since then I have not been doing much in the whole fine tuning my domestic skills area... we got our tax return so I have been ordering take out A LOT and I have gotten lazy around the house. BUT this week I have been good! I have cooked dinner (and a real dinner) every night BUT last night. I went to a pot luck so I brought beer bread, 3 dips, a cake and meatballs (BTW if you havent ever had beer bread go to Tastefully Simple's web site and order some NOW! You can thank me later) while I was eating my mismatched noms with friends the hubby was on SWTOR killing random pixelated Rebels and eating frozen pizza (aka nerd paradise... well almost there was no dorritos, mountain dew, or hot chick dressed as slave girl Leia... it was as close as his ass is ever gonna get though lol)
I will be posting the recipes and such (for the successes... the failures we will never speak of those) soon. But I am gonna end it here because I feel like baking and since it is again midnight Wookie gets to take Brownies to work. I will spend a portion of tomorrow contemplating how to get the guys at work to conspire with me to embarrass him on Sunday since he is working on his birthday :D
