Lillian Bassman Photography....










Bassman died Monday at 94 at her home in Manhattan, her son Eric Himmel announced, working right up until the end

Her photos captured a mid-century world of elegant, slightly elongated women, impeccably dressed, done up in high-contrast black and white. Avedon once described her style as making "visible that heartbreaking invisible place between the appearance and the disappearance of things."

I have always loved her photos.... her photography is considered to be among the greatest of the 20th century .

Crockpot Meatloaf

I went to pick up my kids today and asked them what they wanted for dinner??? Its amazing to me that my kids like my cooking. I mean I thing I have came a long way from my "Hamburger Helper" days, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with box meals. Heck my family lived off of them for years. However after my husband politelyy told me "Baby i hate hamburger helper, but I love you for trying" about five years ago I had to learn. I love cooking know and get super excited to try new recipes.
So asking the kids what they wanted my daughter replied "Meatloaf" this on a night that I had worked most of the day and good meatloaf takes a while. We decided on tamale pie.
So not ever wanting to let my little Rockstar down I bought all the things i needed for meatloaf for tomorrows dinner. I have work all day tomorrow sooooo what is a mommy to do?????

Here we go
1 1/2 lbs of LEAN ground beef

Happy 10th Birthday Cj

My son is turning 10 on Thursday.... WOW!!! i cant believe I have been allowed to be a parent for 10 years to an amazing little man. My son is such an blessing to my life and everyone he comes in contact with. He is smart, Witty, funny, loving, handsome, and sooo special. The day I had my love was one of the best days in my life. I have always had a special bond with this boy I am so proud of him and I am so honored to have him call me mommy.
1 day old

6 months

2yrs old

2 yrs old

In Hawaii

@ Grandmas House in Florida

No amount of gold could ever compare, to the gift of love that my son shares.
I've been blind and I couldn't see that all the love I've wanted is right here in front of me.
He gives reason to get through another day.
Maybe it's how he loves me in his special little way.
And when it gets hard for me to sleep at night....
He wraps his little arms around me and says God will make things right!
From sweet gentle touches to his bear hugs and a kiss...
He makes this hell on earth seem more like a peaceful bliss.
That great big kool-aid smile and the twinkle in his eyes....
Every time I look at him it makes me want to cry.
But they're not tears of sorrow; they're tears of pride and joy....
To know that all the love in heaven is wrapped around my little boy
So on that note Happy Birthday to my son Cj.


He wants to have a slumber party and play Xbox Alllll night long (Ofcourse)

Tamale Pie Recipe





Tamale Pie Recipe
This is my go to recipe for "MY" version of my moms tamale pie. Super easy and yummy.
My family loves it and with a few extra minutes in the morning you can have dinner prepped and ready for the oven when you get home.
OK here's what you need:

Las Palmas or any enchilada sauce
cheese (Cheddar)
favorite meat. ( I use chicken and ground beef)
veggies (corn and or green beans)
Olives (optional)
onion (optional)
Jiffy cornbread box (Make as instructed)


Pour enchilada sauce at the bottom of the baking pan
add meat chicken, turkey or ground beef. tofu or cheese is a great substitution also
layer now, add veggies on top, onions ect or what ever you think sounds delicious
a layer of cheese on top. and pour some more enchilada sauce on top (for moisture)
then pour the cornbread on top and smooth out.
Like a blanket on top. Add a little extra cheese and olives.

Bake for 35 min at 300.
yummy.....

pair with a salad and some frijole!!!!
if you do prepare in the morning DO NOT put the cornbread on top until right before you put it in the oven.


OK so the BEST part about this meal is the PRICE!!!!
the whole meal is under $20 bucks and will last you well into the next day for leftovers!!!!!


Las Palmas or any enchilada sauce: $1.00 (99 cent store sells this sauce)
cheese (Cheddar) $ 1.50 about 8 oz
favorite meat. ( I use chicken and ground beef) $ 3-5 lb of ground beef lean is the most expensive
veggies (corn and or green beans) $ 2.00 each bag
Olives (optional) $1
onion (optional) $ 1 only need half of one
Jiffy cornbread box (Make as instructed) .64 cents a box ( \I usually use 2 boxes) $1.28
SIDES:
Beans: $1.00
Salad: $2.00

Total:
$15.78
