Stuffed Bell Peppers!



My hubby to be LOVES this dish! It is incredibly easy as well! 

Start by cutting off the top to 4 bell peppers. (You can use any color, I prefer green). Place them in a steamer basket until soft! -Caution!: They will be VERY VERY hot!

In the meantime: Make 1.5 cups of white rice.

In a frying pan: Brown 1 pound of ground beef. Once the meat is brown add chopped up onions and bell peppers to taste. (I don’t really use too many exact measurements...sorry). Also add 2 can of Stewed Tomatoes.  

In a large Mixing Bowl: Mix together the finished ground beef/tomato mixture and mix it with the rice.
Once the Bell Peppers are soft and done; pour the mixture into the bell pepper until it is “stuffed.”

I like to sprinkle on some fresh parmesean cheese on top!
Next: SERVE & ENJOY!!!

Mother's Day gift!

I actually made this for my mom's birthday and she LOVED it. So simple too!   Pick a song and a photo and it's that simple!   I chose "Somebody's Hero" by Jamie O'neil. It really is the perfect song for Mom!!!  I used publisher and pasted the lyrics on the paper and inserted the picture and made it so the picture was surrounded by the text! 
Then I took a trip to the local Michael's and got a really nice frame fr $3.99! They seem to always have a sale on frames! I always check there first!
Anyways, here's the final product!

Glitter Wine Glasses

Of course, I found this idea on pinterest as well! I went ahead and read all the reviews on this method and chose to go with the Martha Stewart All-purpose glitter! I had to do SEVERAL coats of glitter tho to get it this dark! Practically took the entire bottle. When I was don't I used a spray on adhesive paint. I would not advise putting these in the dishwasher, from what I have read.  Handwash Only!

Melted Crayon Art!

This has been a craft filled weekend! I am very pleased with one particular one! I got the idea from pinterest (my new favorite past time). There was not a direct link to any blog or anything; Just the picture! So I gathered my crayons, hot glued them to my canvas and started to blow dry! BEWARE: this project can get a bit messy! I had no newspaper, so i set mine in a box and blew it down into the box. When I was all done melting the crayons, I wanted to add a bit more. I found these fake flowers at Michaels for a few dollars and it added just enough touch!
