My First Pink Saturday!

I have joined a fun group that celebrates PINK! each and every Saturday. This Hydrangeas is one of the new plants we put in our front garden. It looks like the heat is already getting to it. Until my Hibiscus starts blooming, this will be my "pink". The Hibiscus is getting real close to blooming.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy a beautiful pink Saturday.

Picture of the Day!

You just never know where a smiley face will appear. On Memorial Day, while watching my son, his friend, my nephew and my husband swim, I noticed this cute little smiley face. Nobody drew it in the table, it just happened.

Burrito / Chimichangas Casserole

Ok, another recipe. This one is so super dooper easy! It makes going and getting fast food seem slow.

Burrito Casserole

1 (32 oz) package beef and bean burritos, El Monterey brand (I also like the Chimichangas)

1 (14 oz) can mild enchilada sauce

1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 small can sliced black olives, drained (ok, I use a regular size black olives, the more the better!)

1 1/2 cups diced tomatoes

4 cups shredded iceberg lettuce

Line burritos or chimichangas in a single layer in a dish. Cook as directed on package (or can be microwaved instead)

Once cooked, pour enchilada sauce over burritos. Sprinkle cheese over enchiliada sauce and return to oven until cheese is melted. Spread olives, tomato and lettuce over burritos. Serve immediately.

I found this recipe in Sandra Lee's Premier issue of Semi-Homemade magazine.

Recipe Time

Ok, I am being a lazy girl today! I have promised my friend some recipes for a long time, however, I am too lazy to set up the good scanner and the scanner on the printer/copier/scanner doesn't want to cooperate with me. (Probably has something to do with the user!)

Angel Hair Chicken Pasta

3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

4 tablespoons butter

1 (7 oz) package dry Italian salad dressing mix

1/2 cup chicken broth

1 can condensed golden mushroom soup

4 oz. cream cheese with chives

1 (8 oz) package angel hair pasta

In large saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add package of dressing. Blend in chicken broth and mushroom soup. Blend in cream cheese and stir until smooth. Heat gently. Arrange chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour sauce over. Bake in preheated oven at 325 for 60 minutes. When the chicken is nearly done, boil the pasta in salt water and drain well. Serve the chicken on top of warm angel hair pasta.

Another Birthday Card

Just a quick post. It has been a long time since I have posted anything. Work has been REAL BUSY!

This is a card I made for a nephew. He turned 17 in April.

I can't remember who the sketch is by (sorry!)

My Sweet Be Kitty

I was walking around outside taking pictures of flowers, when I noticed my sweet kitty sitting in the little side window by the door. I just had to take her picture.

One of these days, this side window will have a stained glass piece in it. The other side already has the stained glass put up. I am just waiting for hubby to finish the other side.(actually it is glue glass??, not stained glass)

Hubby is the stained glass guy and watercoloring guy - he just doesn't have a lot of time to do the fun stuff!

What do you mean, Easter is over!

Better late than never?

I am finally posting my Easter wreath I made. I found this post on a fellow blogger. Seems like she has a great group of crafters that like to get together and make cute things. Thanks Cindi for sharing your work! Seems like we have a few things in common, like crafts and kitties. Check back tomorrow and see my baby...

Have a happy today.

Sweet Baby Card

This sketch is from Amy of Prairie Paper & Ink. Amy used a giraffe and it reminded me that I had never used the giraffe stamp I have. So, I pulled it out of the stash and used the giraffe stamp.

Story time: My oldest niece and oldest son are 18 months apart in age. So, my son always had to have the same things his older cousin had. She had a yellow giraffe made by Gund. The giraffe's name was Jerri. Then my oldest son had to have one and since they were with each other so much, his giraffe had to be a different color. His giraffe was blue and named Jerri (pretty original, don't you think!) Then my niece had a white stuffed kitty, guess what we had to have, yep a white kitty. I don't remember my niece's kitty's name but our white stuffed kitty was named Marshmellow. Now that, I thought, was an original name.

Thanks for looking. I love comments (hint, hint - don't we all?)
