Taco Night...

I think tonight is going to be "Taco Night" but with a twist.  I found this Ortega Taco Bake on Pinterest and it looks really good.  Now I'm not sure if Mac will be all that blown away by it---he has gotten picky over the last few years.  But he does love Mexican so maybe there is hope...

The picture is not that appealing is it?  Just looks kind of like mush!!!  I let you know how it turns out!!

Here is one of my favorite pictures on Pinterest.....

Finally Badges....

Ever since I put the house on the market, I have yet to make any new badge's.  I just wasn't that interested in sitting downstairs in my office and doing them.  I like to watch a movie and sit at my kitchen table.  The light is very good there.  And guess what??  That is just what I did on Sunday...  I enjoyed it so much!!!

I didn't make many...  But I did figure out how to neatly get it all out and then put it all back up again!  It was so worth it..
Love my crafts!!!

Review Monday....

I'm going to call this "review Monday"---I did several fun things over the weekend and they are both worthy of doing them again!!

First, Mac and I went to see The Avengers on Saturday.  Let me just say the graphics were AMAZING!  The story line was not over the top so it was "believable" for SyFy.  The funniest of all the characters was Robert Downy Jr.  His humor makes the movie.  It was offered in 3D or regular.  We chose regular.  I'm just not a fan of 3D movies..  If you go see it, stay after the credits because it gives you a tidbit of whats to come.  Leading you to believe there will most surely be a sequel!!

I also made the Pulled Pork Crockpot recipe yesterday from Ally"s Sweet & Savory Eats blog.  I used half a Boston Butt---about $7.00.  The only other change to the recipe was instead of Diet Pepsi I used Pibb Zero.  I cooked it on high from 12:30pm until about 6pm on high.  Around 5ish I pulled the meat off the bone and just let it soak in all the sauce for about another hour.  Mac ate 2 helpings!!  He loved it.  He just ate the meat since he is not a fan of BBQ sandwiches.  I'm not a huge fan of them either.  But I love trying out all these new simple recipe's from Pinterest!!  And I am in love with my crockpot!!

Future Project...

I found the cutest thing on Pinterest to help use up some old canvas's I have....   Now if mine can just turn out like the picture!  

I found this on The Frugal Navy Wife.....  Very cool...

This is another one that I think is really nice...  I found this at Light & Spoon via Pinterest....  

If it doesn't have detailed instructions---you won't find be blogging about it....

Enjoy...  I'll post pictures when I do it....

Perfect Reading....

Everyone knows how much I love a good book.  Thanks to my dear, sweet, friend Lisa (that had to go and move to Missouri)---I have found the perfect summer trilogy...

Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James.  This series was even brought up on Access Hollywood the other day.  It's a romance that takes your breathe away.  Now, I'm only on book one so I can't give you alot of information.  But if you click on the link that I have provided---you can read the reviews and download it to your e-reader.  That's the "perk" of iPad's, Kindle's or any other e-reader----no one has to know what's really making you smile......

No need for the REAL thing anymore!!!

About two weeks ago, I discovered what I think will change my life forever---or at least my taste buds!!  This is now my FAVORITE veggie dip.  It is simply amazing...

Just take a packet of Ranch seasoning mix and stir it into your favorite plain Greek yogurt--mine is Oikos.. . Tastes exactly like ranch without all the fat and alot less calories.. .Another plus is Greek yogurt is so good for you... Perfect for dipping veggies or a salad...
My taste buds thank you Pinterest!!!

I'm Back....

I have let my blogging fall to the side over the last few months due to all the drama in my personal life.  I'm sorry friends!!  I may not be able to pull out all my craft projects right now in order to keep my house "show" ready.    But I can write and enjoy my blogging!

A new  favorite of mine is Pinterest. It is taking over the world!!   I love looking at all the wonderful craft idea's and recipe's that everyone post.  I have cooked some REALLY good meals and found some not so good ones too.  Pinterest offers so much, it can occupy your time for hours!!

However, for my friends that aren't on Pinterest (why I can't imagine), I'm going to try and post a few of my "favorite things" each day on my blog.  Expect anything!!  You are almost guaranteed a different recipe everyday.  I find so many on there---if only I had the time to cook them all!!  But I'm all about simple---nothing I give you will be complicated nor will it have a bunch of crazy ingredients..  Just click on the link I provide and it will take you to the site---simple as that!!!

Here is what I'm thinking about fixing Sunday..  Put it all in the crockpot before church...  Will smell and taste great!!  I hope!!!

This is a Pulled Pork in the Crockpot recipe provided by Ally's Sweet & Savory Eats blog via Pinterest!
I'll let you know how it turns out!!!
