Most of my pictures this past little while of things that I have created. Crafts and Food. I like exploring new foods lately and sometimes I am in the mood for something crafty.
I made my first stuffed chicken. I stuffed the chicken with cheese and broccoli. I could not hammer out the chicken very well because I didn't have mallet. I ended up using my rolling pin but that only went so far. I had to use a TON of toothpicks to hold it all together because the chicken didn't flat enough so it was hard to roll. Oh well. It still tasted good.
This next delicious dish is called... Chicken and white bean enchiladas with creamy salsa verde. It's a very long name for a dish and took a while to make it but boy was it worth it. They are SOOOOO yummy. Can you see the goodness of it?
One night I was home from work and looked out the window to see a stunning sunset. It was very beautiful.
There is a show on netflix called Fat, sick and nearly dead that is a must see. It gave me so much inspiration. A lady came through my line at work and I asked if she was juicing because she had a lot of fruits and veggies. She said she was and mentioned that I should watch this show. She said that she started juicing and it helped her to become pregnant. It's kind of weird to hear that but she had to adopt her first child. Then she did the juicing and was able to become pregnant. I thought it was a really cool thing. So I watched the show and you HAVE to watch it. It's really good. Anyway. I have decided to juice now. My sister found a website called simplegreensmoothies.com and they have all kinds of recipes you can choose from and they are GOOD. I have a picture of one and it kind of looks like a milk shake but its not. It has mostly fruits and either spinach or kale. This one had spinach. You can't even tell that there is spinach it. Cody has lost a couple pounds doing this and he is happy about it. :)
So this is my craft. I have been saving up my toilet paper rolls for a few months. I saw this idea on pinterest and loved it. It's really simple. You cut four petals out of one tube. Then you paint the petals. I bought three boxes at Walmart for 50 cents and cut that up to make the black background. Then when all of that is dry you can glue or use tack to make the flowers. I love it. I am so happy that I did this. Makes my room look more homey instead of blah!
Tonight I made my own spaghetti sauce and garlic bread. The garlic bread was awesome but I didn't really like the spaghetti sauce. If you have suggestions on what homemade spaghetti sauces are good comment on the blog. :) It would be helpful because I just don't like the canned spaghetti sauces at the store.
I hope I didn't make you too hungry with this food blog. :)
