Sloppy Joe Bake

So I found this recipe on Pinterest, and it linked to Heartfelt Homemaking.

I did modify it slightly. I didn't make the sauce from scratch. When I was grocery shopping the Manwich sauce was on sale 5 for $5 so I had a bunch to use.

 Sloppy Joe Bake
1 lb lean ground meat
1 can sloppy joe sauce
2 cans crescent rolls
shredded cheese

Not Pictured bc I forgot:
sesame seeds
 Also I know there are 2 cans of sauce, I was worried it would be dry but 1 was enough for 1 lb meat. And I dont know if it really needs more then 1lb.

Preheat oven to 425
Brown meat; Drain

Add sauce mix, reduce heat to simmer until sauce thickens.

While meat cooks spray 11x9 baking dish with nonstick spray, and press entire contents of one crescent roll tube on bottom, making sure to close seams.

 After meat has simmered approx 10 mins pour or spoon mixture over the crescent rolls.

Sprinkle w/ about 1 c shredded cheese*.

On a flat nonstick surface, I used a baking sheet, roll out the other tube of crescent rolls, pressing the seams, to cover top of meat mixture.

Sprinkle sesame seeds and bake for 15-20 mins.

*Dont forget to add the cheese until after you put the top layer of crescent roll on top and have to carefully remove each section, therefor breaking the seams, stretching out the dough so you can put cheese under it. Oops.

Finished yummyness^.

^Yeah its a little overcooked, lol. I read the directions originally and thought it said 30 mins. Oops.

High in fat BUT most was not saturated. Still need a leaner meat and figure out a better dough.


It turned out super yum and I got the good job kiss/seal of approval from JLove.
Did you decide to make this? Did you do anything different? How did it come out?
Leave a comment and let me know :)

I'm Thankful and NaBloPoMo

My family was in Friendswood. But now its spread out. We still get together for all bdays and holidays. I love have such a strong loving (crazy) family so close.

If you were President of the United States, what would be your first act in office? - Uh hmmm make weed legal. Ding. Yep.

Thursday Thirteen

Heres are the 13 things on my brain right now.

1. Kevin - LOL of course. Sigh...I really like him.
2. My Family - This is to general for just one number so as I hit them they will get their own numbers. I feel so disconnected for some reason. I dont know if I am purposely doing it to keep from hurting or what.
3. My Mom - She left my dad and my relationship with her is ...changing. I love her so much, she is one of my best friends. But I found out stuff that had been happening that I felt like I didnt need to ever know. Now I have to figure out this new mother/daughter thing.
4. My Dad - Hes my stepdad. Yes I love him. Hes been w/ my mother and I since I was 2 but that doesnt change the fact that he is an alcoholic and an asshole. Do I want to have a continued relationship w/ him?
5. Ronnie - My older younger brother. He knocked up his gf and they are keeping it. Probably gonna get married. Dont like her. HATE that another person is having a freaking baby.
6. Halloween - I am so bummed out that we arent having our annual awesome party w/ the DJ. SO SO So so sad. Typically every year my mom throws a Halloween party w/ a DJ and everything and its awesome.
7. Ryland - His trial is quickly approaching. 1/26. OMG! I really worry that he has learned anything during this time locked up.I really dont think I can handle having to go my whole life visiting my baby brother in prison.
8. Russell - I wish I could just snap my fingers and make our situation normal. I hate the amount of involvement we still have. But I'm working on it. Just a few more weeks hopefully.
9. WLS - I had to cancel the last seminar and I am waiting for another Sat one to come along so I register again.
10. I want a baby. Its a phase but I do.
11. Being on my own and making it work. FYI Do not watch American Horror Story right before bed. OMG!!!!
12. Javi - I told him I had moved on and he got pissed at me. He only text me like once a week. He never has time to hang out. It took like 4 weeks to get him to come over and meet. Plus he isnt physically what I am interested in anyway so...no thanks.
13. Grocery shopping. I need to do it. I need cat litter, cat and dog food, milk, cheese, eggs, sugar, and lunch/dinner foods. I'm waiting....

So there ya go. 13 very random but honest thought I have had today. If not everyday.

Change of Plans

So I was supposed to go to the seminar for the WLS on Saturday. But on Friday my mom called the jail in Olla, LA and asked if it would matter if I had a ticket/warrant. And the lady said no. So now I need to re register for the next one. I am a little bummed but I am so glad to have had the visit.
Now I am super bummed. I went to the website and there are no seminars on the weekend showing on the calendar. I'll have to call, last time I spoke w/ the girl she said they dont post all the dates.

We left for Olla at 2am. It was mom, dad, my little brother Ronnie and his gf Erinn. Drove the 5.5 hrs there and got a little lost. Just about 2 blocks from the driveway I got pulled over for SPEEEEEEEEDING. Again. This time really wasnt on purpose. The speed limit changes every few miles. So I missed one. He got me going 61 in a 50. And I was so scared. I wasnt sure how my old ticket would show up. He came back and asked me to step to the back of my car and I burst into tears. I was so scared. I dont wanna go to jail. No he was just having me sign the ticket. Dumb. Omg. That was scary.
Then when I was getting off the shoulder I peeled out accidentally. Ooops. lol

First visit was 8am-10:30am. We ate breakfast w/ him and it was the most awesome visit ever. The next visit started at 1, so we paid $60 for a hotel room so we could nap for 2 hrs. We were so tired from the drive. After our nap we went to the 1-3:30 visit. I just cant explain how nice it was to be able to sit at a cafeteria table and have him right there. To be able to hug him and hold him and squeeze him. And love him. It was like it hasnt been over a year. But I will say for the family that reads this, he looks different. His baby face is going away and he is more buff then Ronnie. After staring at him for a few hours he looked like my sweet Ryry again but not at first. My mom drove back and the rest of us slept off and on. Good trip.

Adam came over last night. He wanted to cuddle. Aww hes so cute. We laid in bed and talked. It was nice.

Lastly on the way to work today my car was riding kinda weird. And I kept saying I'm gonna have a blow out. And I did. I was about 5 mins from work. I was really hoping I would make it. Oh well. Now I have that sexy golden yellow donut on my car. I dont know when I will have an extra $180. My tires are so expensive. Dumb! Ugh.

So that was my fun filled weekend. I am going to be making an appt w/ my Dr to discuss my new found insomnia. I cant take it anymore. If I wasnt actually falling asleep all the time I'd be ok. Stupid.
