Mama June's Mashed Potato Multi-Meal

I have a confession to make.  

I love Alana Thompson and her family.  

You may know them better as the lovable bunch from McIntyre, Georgia who started out on Toddlers and Tiaras, but now star in their own reality show, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.  Their show's second season is set to premiere on July 17th on TLC.

I even dressed as Honey Boo Boo for Halloween.  (No judgments!)
On the TLC Website, there is a couple videos of "Cooking with Mama June".  I decided to try her Mashed Potato Multi-Meal.  It was actually really good.  I changed it up a bit, but not much.  It's good old comfort food, which I am all about.

Mama June's Mashed Potato Multi-Meal
(No actual measurements, just throw this together.)
Mashed Potatoes
Ground Beef, cooked
1 can of Green Beans
1 can of Corn
Shredded Cheese


Spread the prepared potatoes in the bottom of a casserole dish.
Layer on the ground beef, then one can of vegetables.
Next, sprinkle cheese over the top and then repeat the process with the other half of the ingredients.
Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Enjoy!

Don't forget to tune in July 17th for the Season Premier of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo on TLC.  

Oh, I almost forgot, the first night are "Watch & Sniff" episodes so make sure to pick up People Magazine's July 15th issue (out July 5th) to get your card.  When the number comes up on the screen, "Watch & Sniff".

What happened to May?

I haven't blogged in over a month.  Sorry about that.  It doesn't mean I haven't been busy, because I have.  It just means I haven't been great about keeping track of things and documenting them.  Here is a quick photo tour of my time spent since my last blog.

So, I started this project.  It's my kitchen table.  It's still in this state.
 I went on a Girl's Weekend trip and we made these yummy fish bowl drinks.  That is all I can say about the weekend because, "What Happens at the Beach, Stays at the Beach".
 I also set up a fun night out for the people at work so we could bond.  I mostly just drank.
 I have no idea why, but I really wanted to make these wristlet key chains so I bought the hardware on Etsy and I have made about 10 of them.  I will make a few more when I have time.  They were a really fun project.
 This is how I spent my birthday, sitting on the side of the road after our 63 Chrysler Imperial broke down on her maiden voyage home.  Her name is Juanita.
 And here she is being put on the flatbed tow truck that had to take her back to my Mom's house where she is still sitting.
 The weekend after that, we put on the All High School Car Show.  Which along with a dedicated group of volunteers, was a great success.
 I cooked during this time too.  These are Crispy Chicken Flautas.

These are just awesome Chocolate Chip Walnut cookies.

 This is the current state of the shop.  Miss Juanita is up in the air without a motor or transmission.  She is expensive!
 And finally, last weekend, I went to a 50th Anniversary party for one of the most special couples I know.  Here I am with my cousin Felicia.  I just think this is a cute picture.

Coming up this weekend, I am throwing my sister a gender reveal party.  Will we be having a boy or a girl?  I am so excited to find out.  I would love to promise that I will be better about blogging but if you have read any of my blogs, you know that probably won't happen.  I will try though.
