Smoked Turkey

Mmmm is it Thanksgiving yet? Not the greatest picture of the bird but smoked turkey is ahhhh-mazing :) We use this recipe but we smoke it instead of roasting. Trust me. We use it every time. I get sad when we are elsewhere for holidays and I don't get it haha.

Entertainment Center


So I am slightly addicted to http://ana-white.com/ and the hubs is currently building an entertainment center off of there for our loft. I think its called Classic Storage Center or something like that. This is the middle bottom unit. It will have doors hopefully soon. It is a blue-ish gray color. We wanted to stain it but ended up with trim in a different wood and it just wouldn't have matched (and would drive me insane even if just slightly different colors) so alas it was painted. It has 2 side units as well and he still has to build the hutch. More pictures as it goes along :)

Easter Card

Super simple Easter card I did a couple years ago I believe. Ah if I only had all the fun tools and such back then :) Sorta cute in a plain sorta way I spose.

Baked Zucchini Fries

Had some zucchini that needed eatin' so thought I'd try out something different. Saw something similar over on Pinterest. I just did peeled zucchini cut up in strips, dipped in egg whites and then rolled in roasted garlic bread crumbs. I'd tweak it if I made them again. Probably use whole eggs, throw a little Parmesan into the bread crumbs and add a little salt too. They didn't rock my socks off but weren't bad for using what I had on hand :)

Mmm Mmm

Here's what's cookin!



Arg excuse the "lovely" picture quality. Its steak but the flash super washed it out... almost looks like chicken. But anyhow its steak sammy night! Throw some marinated steak cut in strips in with some onion and bell pepper and cook it on up. Toast some deli rolls on up with some cheese (provolone is super de duper yum, hubs prefers swiss) pile on the steak mix and indulge! Normally I would do that for the hubs and then do a separate pan for me and add in mushrooms, zucchini, yellow squash and tomatoes but alas the veggie drawer was empty! Oh the humanity. So I dealt with less vegs and it was still yummy in the tummy! Nom nom nom :) Oh and sorry for no pic of the sammy... we were far too hungry!

Scrap scrap scrap~

I've been such a spastic crafter lately! I guess that's what happens when ya have a baby :) Hoping to get back on track sometime but a 6 month old will probably make projects take a wee bit longer. But that's ok!

Projects on deck... finishing off the nursery. Stop snickering at the fact that she's 6 months old and I have yet to finish her room! I hear you out there! Its not like the kid doesn't have furniture or paint on the walls. Just need to finish cutting some wall decals with the cricut and get them up. Also have 2 small boards to do soooomething with. Need to make a bunch of cuts and get some stuff fun decals on my craft room wall. Have a picture frame to be painted and put up. Another picture frame to cricut-ize and put up in the nursery (you can really stop laughing now). Ohhh and then theres Christmas scrapbook pages to do for 3 different scrapbooks. And 2 other scrapbooks that need to be started. Nah not much to do around here! And people think all I do is sit on my booty, watch soap operas and eat bon bons. **snort** I don't even know what a bon bon is!
