What is this you may ask? It is a ballpoint pen drawing. I needed to fill in some time while at work cause I always need to be doing something. As odd as it may be, it works for me :)) If I am not cooking or crafting with creations my hand goes to pencil and paper. With this one I could not find a pencil not matter where I went...go figure! Next best thing...ballpoint pen. I'm on it! I do like what I have taught myself with this fun drawing! Very fun I might add!

Teriyaki Tempeh Stir Fry

After such a wonderful day of chaperoning for my daughters band field trip to Disney Epcot on Wednesday, I came home to make a wonderful Teriyaki Tempeh Stir Fry!! AWESOME!! Although I am adding more veggies and grilled pineapple today, it was so delish!!

After so long I am back. Hopefully as a devote blogger. There has been far too much stress in my life and had to take a sabbatical. I have had to rearrange my life and put it into perspective after so much stress. One of which is getting my diet back to where I like it. Although I am not a veggie any longer (cause I do enjoy flesh every now and again), I prefer veggies and grains more then anything. With both my husband in a different state due to job and my 17 year old son needing to be on his own, my daughter and I have been almost fleshless. :) Today I am making some veggie dawgs for the first time. I have almost all of the ingredients and am making due with what I have in my pantry because I do believe in a well stocked kitchen and the FIFO (first in first out) method. I just made my garbanzo bean flour with my beloved VitaMix and have some garbanzo's cooking on the stove. The dry mix is all prepped and ready to go. I can not wait for the final outcome. After I learn how to share others blogs I will without a doubt share.

Newspaper Rose

I thought that I would play with a newspaper upcycling idea of paper roses. Not sure of where I'm going with it yet but thought that I would share.

Ciabatta Bread with Homemade Strawberry Preserves

As I was working online I checked my FB page and found a new recipe posted by a blogger that I follow for Ciapatta bread. Here is the link of recipe posted http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/2984/jasons-quick-coccodrillo-ciabatta-bread. I thought to myself, self, since you will be at home for most of the day why not try this delectable recipe. So I did. Came out very yummy! I had to tweak the recipe a bit because I only had all purpose flour on hand. They still came out delicious!!

Enjoy!!

Handcrafted Bunny Card

So today I realized that my home life has taken over and have not taken any time to keep up with my blog. I'm going to post some of my cards that I have been working on so that you guys can view. I personally love to go and take some time to look at others blogs. It's such another wonderful place to share. So here are some pics. :) Enjoy!

Etsy is doing this most wonderful outreach program that I think any crafter would love to be part of. I would love to see this in my area and must look into it for the upcoming years. Just so worthy of attention. Now lets see if I can add the link ;)http://www.etsy.com/storque/craftivism/special-delivery-share-your-love-2011-11616/?ref=fp_blog_title
