Cooking Queen...or not so much!

For some reason lately, i think that i have to try to cook everything most of what i pin on Pinterest. It has been nice though to have different things to eat for dinner. We used to be the family that ate out almost every night. It is quick and easy, which is nice, but it gets really OLD quick. There are other things (like exercising) that i need to spend my time doing other than cooking, but you can totally control what you get. And that goes for portion size, quality, calories, etc. We, as a family, have actually eaten so much better since we have stopped trying to eat out so much. Jackson has been such a trooper too because he has tried everything that i have fixed. I have to admit...every single recipe that we have tried from Pinterest has been really good except 1. That recipe was cream cheese/crab wontons. It called for imitation crab in a can- NEVER. TRY. THAT. It was not good and her recipe didn't give the proper directions for sealing the wonton wrapper so the filling was all over the pan rather than inside the wonton. FAILURE!! Here are a few things that i made yesterday and today...
 Roast Beef Crescents with Au Jus
 My Little Helper
 Creamy Shrimp Pasta...Delicicious
 Angel Chicken...a work in progress in the crockpot.
 Green Bean Bundles...these are a MUST try if you haven't. (here they still have to be put in the oven)
 Brown Beans in the crockpot...i do this weekly.

I really try to get things cooked and together on Sunday to help out with the whole cooking process during the week. With Jackson's sports schedules, it helps out tremendously!! Now, off to put together Smothered Pork Chops.
