Simple Sloppy Joes

This recipe was a childhood favorite. Once I was old enough to start cooking on my own, I couldn't believe how easy this recipe was!

Normally when you see ketchup, mustard, and relish, you probably think of:

summer get-togethers.

potlucks.

barbecues.

ball parks.

picnics.

Here's a yummy dinner idea that only uses these condiments you already have in your fridge!

Simple Sloppy Joes

Makes about 6 sandwiches

1 pound ground beef or turkey (we prefer it with turkey)

3/4 cup ketchup

1/4 cup relish

1 TBSP mustard

Brown the meat in a frying pan. Drain excess fat. Add condiments, stir, and simmer for 20 minutes.

*****

That's literally the easiest recipe ever.

If you like your sloppy joes extra sloppy, you may want to add more ketchup.

My husband and I love to eat our sloppy joes with pickles on top, steamed broccoli seasoned with Lowry's seasoning salt, and curly/crinkle/sweet potato fries or tator tots. It's one of our favorite dinners!

Now you have another use for those condiments in your refrigerator door! Enjoy!

A Pregnant Woman's Guide to Maternity Clothes

Being pregnant with my first child, I had zero experience maternity clothes shopping. I had no idea what sizes I would need nor what products would work for me. Given that every body type is so different, and each pregnancy is so different, this post will simply serve as a guide and just a place to start. Ultimately, you will have to make some decisions yourself on what will work best for you. I just thought I'd share what I have learned in this first pregnancy. When Should I Start Buying Maternity Clothes? To me, this question has a simple and easy answer. NOW. (or, as soon as you find out you are pregnant.) Here's why: CLEARANCE . Take advantage of that clearance rack! If you buy as soon as you find out you are pregnant, the clothes on clearance are going to be the right season for when you are in your third trimester. I did a little shopping in the first trimester (early winter) and I got great summer tanks and maxi dresses for a ...

18 Weeks

I can't believe it's February already!! I'm 18 weeks and the baby is approximately the size of a mango. A kicking mango! She likes to kick a lot. Sometimes I have to really be focused to feel it; the other day she gave a pretty strong kick for being just 5 inches long! I feel her right at the waistband on my non-maternity pants. (Would you like my chevron cardi? Check it out here on maurices' website!) Is it just me, or does 18 seem like a very big number?! I am approaching the halfway mark! That is kinda scary! I was at the PX the other day, and I was wandering around and realized I haven't bought anything for baby Ava yet. Ok, so we bought a few KU onsies, but that was before we knew she was a girl. So I thought I'd let myself pick up a few things. I about lost it when I saw this in size newborn: Is that not THE CUTEST THING you have ever seen?!?!?! I had to have looked like a fool to anyone walking by; I'm sure I had a h...

The Must-Have Hair Product: Aquage Uplifting Foam

I have been on the hunt for this supposed liquid (well, foam) magic for awhile now - Aquage Uplifting Foam. I must give credit where credit is due - I first heard of this exclusive hair product from The Small Things Blog . Kate has a phenomenal blog full of informative videos showing how to style hair, not to mention her cute outfits she blogs about, too! Please, please be sure to spend some time on her blog - it has been so helpful for me; I'm sure you will all love it, too! Anyway, I had to look up online where to find it locally because it is not sold in all salons. I went to Aquage's website to look up where I could find it here. I was so excited to try it! I started by towel drying my just washed hair, and making little parts all over my head and spraying the Aquage in it. Then I rubbed it in a little, and then blow dried my hair. For a detailed video, check out Kate's video here . This video is how I learned to do it! :) After my hair was dry, I could already...
