What I Wore Wednesday {WIWW: Melon & Gray}

Posted on May 22, 2013 by onekriegerchick

Happy Wednesday Friends!  Lately, I have noticed I tend to stick with one color combination for a few days, then switch to another.  Not sure why, just my quirky self!

This week I was influenced by a melon and gray color combination.  I may have worn it each time I had to look nice…

Just look past the really bad photos…I edited the best I could. :(

Growing Sprouts {gardening with kids}

Posted on May 21, 2013 by onekriegerchick
Hello again! It’s gardening time of the year…Today I’m going to share an easy, but fun way to garden indoors with your kiddos.
Growing Sprouts in a jar {Onekriegerchick.com}

We’re going to grow sprouts!  Sprouts are perfect for kids to grow because they start to change in just a day. They are full grown in just a few days and kids can eat them right out of them jar.  Instant Gratification!

Let’s get started!
What you’ll need:
Sprouting seeds
A clean (sterilized) jar
A 6 in. square of clean mesh screen
A rubber band
How To…
Start by prepping your materials and cleaning and sterilizing your jar.  Running it through the dishwasher will work.

Mesh screens for growing sprouts {Onekriegerchick.com}

Measure out about 1 tsp. seeds and pour into jar.  Place screen on to and seal with a rubber band.
Rinsing Sprouts to grow in a jar {Onekriegerchick.com}
Rinse seeds.  Set jar on its side on a towel.  I set mine on the kitchen counter.  The seeds do not need to be in direct sunlight, so filtered light is just fine.
Growing sprouts from seeds {Onekriegerchick.com}
Rinse seeds two times a day.  In just a day or two, the seeds will begin to sprout.  This is really cool for the kids to see!  Keep rinsing daily until it appears all seeds have sprouted.  Sprouts may be kept in fridge for up to 3 days, but we eat them sooner!

Ideas for using your sprouts:  Add to a salad, use in wraps, in a pita pocket, on sandwiches, in a cold pasta salad or plain.
Besides being a fun way for kids to watch something grow, sprouts have many health benefits.
Purchasing sprout seeds: I purchased mine at the Green Acres Market, but any Health Food Store like Whole Foods should have them.  Just make sure you are purchasing “sprouting seeds.”
This idea was introduced to me at my monthly MOPS meeting by a friend and mentor, Laura Lee.  She is both an amazing cook and gardener, talented beyond belief, always coming up with wonderful teaching ideas.
Have fun gardening with your kiddos!

Weekly Menu {May 20-26}

Posted on May 19, 2013 by onekriegerchick

weekly menu

Some weeks go better than others in terms of meal planning.  Last week, I was off the mark…No one (meaning Mr. Kriegerchick) wanted what I planned on the night I planned.  Frustrating, yes.  Let’s see if we can stick to the plan this week!

Monday: Pulled pork sandwiches with Apple Coleslaw

Tuesday: Creamy Green Chile Enchiladas with chips and salsa

Wednesday: Dinner at Church

Thursday: Taco Salad

Friday: Breakfast for Dinner…Homemade Whole Wheat Applesauce Waffles

Saturday:  Homemade Pizza night

Sunday: Wahoo! We’re opening the pool!  Poolside Grillin’ Fare…hot dogs, brats, hamburgers, salad, Mexican 7-layer dip, and whatever else my mom and sister bring!

Note:  We may not eat what is planned on the scheduled night, we may switch it up depending on what sounds better that day…If Mr. Kriegerchick is working late, I make it easy on myself and fix something kid friendly like Mac-n-cheese with chicken nuggets or hot dogs.

I’m happy to share any of my recipes…Please comment if you would like one that does not have a link. :)

Enjoy the week!

Welcome  to One {Frugal} Chick Friday!

Happy Friday Friends!  Today I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite {Frugal} finds…These just happen to be ideas for use around your home…

Let’s start with this cool set of Unpaper towels from A Blossoming Life.  I would LOVE to have a set of these for my kitchen…I’d even display them on the counter!

 

I’ve had my eyes on this faux photo canvas technique from Carrie This Home for a while now.

Create two banners in one with a reversible banner!  Love this idea at My House and Home!

Mix up some of your own chalkboard paint…in ANYcolor at The Idea Room.

What I Wore Wednesday {WIWW: Mother’s Day}

Posted on May 15, 2013 by onekriegerchick

Hello All!  Happy Wednesday…Ready for another glimpse at what I look like when I am forced out of my comfy yoga pants?  This was a pretty busy week, so I “dressed up” a few times.  Unfortunately, I am terrible about remembering to take pictures of myself.

Luckily, Sunday was Mother’s Day and my sister was visiting.  We were able to swap the role of photographer!

I love my denim jacket as a quick go-to accessory for most any outfit.  What’s your go-to accessory?
