Pinned There, Done That. Philly Cheese Sloppy.

I found this recipe on Pinterest

 

from http://blogchef.net/philly-cheese-steak-sloppy-joes-recipe/

I've been trying to find some new meals for my family.  This photo just looked so delicious. 

We basically followed the same recipe with a few changes.  Here is what I did.

1 lb. Ground Beef

1/4 Steak Sauce

1 Tblsp. Dried Onion Flakes

1 Cup of Beef Broth

Salt & Pepper

 

I buttered and broiled some hamburger buns.

Added meat to bun, and added a slice of Provolone cheese on top.

Back in the oven to melt for a second.

 

That's it.  This was a very easy meal to make.  My family gave it

  My friend Laura over at her blog  has a "Pinned There Done That" linky thing going on.

Join in the fun and use it as motivation to actually make some of the things we pin.

I hope to see you there.

 



Fairy Gardens at The Minnesota Arboretum.

A few months ago the Minnesota Arboretum was having a Fairy Garden exhibit.  I've always liked the idea that there are beautiful fairies living in my flower gardens.  So off I went to check out the exbit and get some inspiration.

Here's some photo's.

BBQ Potato Chip Chicken - Easy Meal.

This meal gets requested almost weekly from my kids.  Lucky for me, it's an easy meal to make.  I serve it with another favorite Anne's Mac & Cheese.

Here's all there is too it.

4-5 Chicken breasts - I usually thaw mine out, but sometimes I'll even do it with frozen ones.

1/2 cup Butter - melted.   (I've used olive oil, even a mix of milk and eggs.  Basically, to coat the chicken.)

Next, smash a bag of Potato Chips - any flavor you like.  We like the BBQ flavor, but without MSG please whenever possible.

Coat the chicken breast with the potato chips and put into a greased pan.

Bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until thermometer reads 180 degrees.

Serve and enjoy!

Studio Snapshot

Every once in a while I like to give you a glimpse of an art project I'm working on.  This one has been in the studio for a month or so.

I tend to let things simmer and brew a bit.  Inspiration on what is next, comes to me like a book, chapter by chapter.

This is a painting of my three sister's, and me.

It's not done, but my hope is, I'll be finishing it in a couple of weeks.

I'll post the finished project as soon as it is completed.

Can I Tell You A Secret?

I am addicted to finding great blogs.  Yes, I really am! 

Inspiration is everywhere. 

I think it is the most wonderful thing in the world to be able to connect with such gifted and talented people, and have them connect with me.

This week alone, I would summarize that I have become a follower of at least 10 different blogs.  I can't get enough.

My sister's say to me when I tell them something I've read/learned on a blog.  "How do you have the time?  What do you do all day?"  Well, I work fulltime people.  It's just that I love, love, love learning new things.  Seeing such creative minds at work really get my own idea's going. 
I thought it would be fun to suggest a blog that I'm really loving at the moment.  This blogger doesn't know I'm telling you about her.  But, I know she'll love the extra bloglovin she'll be getting from you, when you check it out.

I joined the mailing list for this blog a while ago.  I think at the time I was a little curious about the fashion world.  This was a fashion blog, so why not?

Here is a small sampling of some of my favorite posts:
