The Dining Room Before.....
OK so not completely before as we put in a new chandelier, new curtains and rod, and bought a new table. We still need new chairs to match but are loving having more space at the table.
Christmas at the Kinners!
Kristin had a lot of fun wrapping random things around the house and putting messages on them. She is still spelling phonetically so I thought it would be something neat to look back on.
The stockings were hung....
Goldie Kinner (the hamster) has his owner captivated on Christmas morning.
Chewy Kinner (also a hamster) had Master Alex grinning from ear to ear.
Nathan is loving that he can finally open the presents. LOL
My handsome hubby!
My princess with the toothless grin.
Nathan wanted to pu on his sweater right away from Aunt Sandra, Uncle Matt and cousins Camryn and Carter.
Alex's only actual request for Christmas (except the Hamster from Santa), a Pokemon Wii Game.
Kristin loved getting a new doll.
Something to build. The days of Lego Christmas' have passed and now we are on to Knex.
Kristin enjoying her little brother's new rocking horse with her doll of course!
Did I mention he LOVED opening the presents. LOL
A little bling for the princess in the form of some awesome new slippers.
Nathan's all time favorite thing....Lightning McQueen and Mater.
Chewy on a roll.
Finally some color in my life!
My new TV room after we painted. Finally have an accent wall and it makes the room feel so much warmer. I really like the way the fireplace becomes the central focus.
The TV Room before....
So it has taken us a little over 2 years to finally paint. I like to at least live in my house the way I like it for a year or so before I have to sell it. LOL
Richard was already well on his way to painting when I asked if he had taken any before pictures so things are a little out of sorts here.

Freezer Meals
Well I had a great day on Tuesday with a few girlfriends including my BFC. We spent the whole day from about 10am to 5pm making some freezer meals. It was great!! We each walked away with 20 freezer meals and they are awesome.
The list includes:
Mexican Casserole
Hamburger Soup
Curried Beef
Satay Chicken (recipe at end of post)
Tri-color Pasta Casserole
Pineapple chicken
Fiesta Chicken
Curry Cajun Chicken
Pork Chops with Ginger Pineapple Sauce
Ribs in BBQ sauce
There were 10 recipes and we each walked away with 2 large Ziploc bags of each (Except BFC as she has a smaller family and made 2 Med size ziploc bags for each of our 1 large one so she walked away with 38) (*the Mexican Casserole was in an aluminum dish so couldn't be halved).
I have the Pineapple chicken cooking away tonight in the slow cooker and it smells so good in here! I love being able to just pull something out every other day (usually there is enough for our family to have leftovers the next day) and not have to woory about what is for supper. The other awesome part is that the meals averaged $10.57 each whichis pretty dang good for a LOT of Boneless skinless chicken (60+lbs) and other meat.
Anyway.....here is the recipe for SATAY CHICKEN:
1 lb chicken (skinless boneless thighs work great
2 tsp minced ginger
1/2 tsp ground white pepper
2 Tbsp curry powder
1 tsp sugar
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 tsp garlic minced
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp oil
Just combine all ingredients together and BBQ on med high until done or cook in the OVEN at 350F for 30-40 mins or until done. Enjoy with rice/salad or steamed veggies of choice.
If you would like to see a picture of what this loooks like you'll have to visit BFC's blog at http://www.visiblevoice.ca/
Later!
