Napping On the Deck

Yesterday Joe and I took a nap out on the deck while it was raining. It was so nice. We both love the rain.

Stir Fry Lettuce Wraps

This is a super simple recipe that I made for dinner last night. I just cooked some sliced chicken breast in olive oil. Then cooked some red pepper and onion, added about a cup of "Szechuan Spicy" stir fry sauce along with the cooked chicken and some sesame oil. Then, served with chow mien noodles on some butter lettuce. It's really yummy, but the sauce is very spicy! (I served them in these beautiful bowls we got as a wedding gift)

Stuffed Meatballs

The other night I made spaghetti and meatballs. I decided to stuff them with some cheese. Yummy! Cheese makes everything taste better.

Coconut Cupcakes

I made these with my assistant, who also happens to be my husband, today. They're not bad, but definately not "coconut-y" enough. I think I'll put more coconut milk in next time. They sure do look cute though!

I Love Stuffing

Dinner last night. My first time making stuffing all on my own. Delicious!

Baby Shower Cards Tutorial

I made these for my friend Danielle's baby shower which is in September. They're super easy to make, and look super cute!

You'll need:
-Coordinating Cardstocks (I used Nana's Nursery )
-Cream or White Cardstock
-Adhesive
-Pink Ink (I used A La Mode )
-Paper Cutter
-Baby Feet Stamp (Or other cute stamp)
-Letter Stamps
-Vellum Envelopes (optional)

Step 1 Cut: Cut one piece of cardstock into a 5x5 in square. Cut coordinating cardstock into a 5.5x11 in rectangle. Cut White/Cream cardstock into 2x2 in square.

Step 2: Fold the rectangular piece of cardstock in half. Stamp baby feet or other stamp on 2x2 square and glue to center of 5x5 in square. Then, glue 5x5 in square onto the folded piece of cardstock.

Step 3: Next, stamp either "It's a girl!" or "It's a boy!" on the front of your card. For a finishing touch stamp the baby feet on the front of the envelope!

Peanut Butter Cupcakes

So, I wanted to make peanut butter and jelly cupcakes, and this is what I came up with. They look pretty cute, but I don't think you get the full effect of a PB&J sandwich. Next time, I think I'll make a jam filling instead of making a jam frosting.
