How was your Saturday?

We had a good day babysitting for a friend.

We call it baby time.

Noah is already asking when we can have baby time again.

I totally agree! It was a lot of fun.

For supper tonight, I made a family favorite – Tater Tot Casserole.

This is a recipe that’s so easy to make but everyone in my family will happily eat it.

That’s not something that happens around here every day!

My kids are pretty good eaters though.

Sometimes I make this with only one can of cream of mushroom soup.

A lot of times, it just depends on what I have in the pantry.

This is one of those meals that are totally customizable.

You could easily add onions to the ground beef or add additional spices.

For my family, I like to keep it simple. It’s really delicious exactly as the recipe is written.
