Recipe Book Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Salads

I hate eating plain lettuce salads.

 I try and get creative when I have to eat vegetables.

Recipe Book Chapter 2

Here is Chapter 2 of my recipe book.

I love soup, and I have a gift for soup making.

I don't think I have ever made a bad soup.

Hope you enjoy!

Recipe Book Chapter 1

Recipe Book Chapter 1

I have had a few requests for recipes.

This is handy because for school I had to create a book and I chose to make a recipe book.

I will give you a chapter at a time, these are all tried and true recipes that my family loves.

Hope you enjoy!

P.S. Please ignore type-o's, I tried to check and re-check my work, but the class I made this for was a design class, not a writing class. I was graded about how well I knew the program, not my writing/spelling skills. Also, I never took a picture of the shepherds pie that I made. I was gone that evening, my hubs had instructions to take a picture, but he forgot and I didn't have time to make it again.

Mason Jar with a Straw! - DIY

Oh look a project!

I haven't forgotten about those of us who need our daily dose of craftiness ;-)

Sometimes I can resurface from my piles of homework and laundry to do something fun.

Drill a hole in your jar lids.

I just guessed I did not center, but I should have marked the center.

If you want your hole on center then mark it. No matter how good you think you are at centering you will probably be off. I speak from experience.

Find a washer that fits around your straw.

 My hubs has a ton of washers, but it was surprisingly hard to find one that was just the right size.

And lucky for me these washers happen to be stainless steel.

I found a package of these reusable straws... somewhere.

I can't remember. But if all else fails, you can always find them on amazon!

Very carefully with a toothpick glue around the edge of your washer.

I used some food grade silicone.

Place the washer over the ragged hole made by your drill.

Let it dry for a few hours.

Wash these lids by hand! Don't put them in the dishwasher.

Enjoy your awesome mason jar sippers by making some flavored water.

I love putting cucumber, lemon and a sprig of mint in mine.

Yum!

Thanks!

Life Lately - Taken by my iphone with a trip to SeaWorld!

Things are good with the "house of noise" family.

Spring is upon us and that means I'm not in a perpetual state of freezing anymore... most of the time.

School has kept me busy, but as the title of this post alludes to we had some fun at SeaWorld Orlando during spring break.

Here's a recent project for school.

This is hand lettered type that I drew for a project in my typography class.

The finished one turned out great, but I haven't gotten it back yet,

when I do I think I will frame it and hang it in our bedroom.
