100 Day Creativity Challenge (Days 71-77)

I'm gonna go really fast, so hold onto your hats!

#DAY71, my family and I went to the St. Louis Botanical Gardens for their Garden Glow event. It was so fun, cold, but beautiful!



Then #DAY72 I had a girls day with my sister and mom. It was super fun, and it reminded me how much I love them!!! This is done using my dad's old Boeing notebook.... creative, I know.



#DAY73 I found a cute little heart tree on Pinterest! Maybe I'll use this for next year's Christmas card!!



Now for #DAY74 it was New Years Eve and my friend asked me to make a recycle sign for his laundry shoot that he macgyvered.



Then #DAY75 it was New Year's Day and as always, my mom made Hoppin john! Supposedly it is good luck to eat black eyed peas on January 1st. It Was So Yummy!




#Day76 was the day we drove back to Colorado. I know.... I am so creative.



And finally, #DAY77 my husband and I started Whole30 (blog to come). I had sweet potato toast with chicken avocado salad for lunch (Recipe), some tea, and we had chicken and veggie soup for dinner. Can't wait for the tiger blood to hit me.

100 Day Creativity Challenge (Days 92-100)

Okay, So I have a couple extra days in this post, but it's the last post!!!!! 100 DAYS!!!!! I am the coolest! Leading off with #DAY92 with my all time favorite motivational quote! It's seriously amazing, and online it has an extra part, but I didn't think that was appropriate for social media.... For #DAY93 I was sitting around knowing I wanted to do some block letters, but couldn't think of anything to write. Then my hubbers walked in the door and here it is. It was a quick doodle, but he really liked it. So, it's a keeper. Now #DAY94 I made this amazing WHOLE30 approved gumbo with cauliflower rice!!!! It was so amazing, very spicy, but will eat again after the diet..... probably with real rice, but that's okay. PS, don't you just love my parsley garnish??? So artsy. Hahahaha! Recipe here And this is #DAY95. I only have 5 days left.... this is insane. I'm sure all my family and friends are happy it's almost over... Anyway, I p...

Reasons My Online Recipes Look The Way They Do.

So, I read this article the other day by Buzzfeed. I know everything is by them, but hear me out. It was talking about why online recipes are literally the worst. And I saw myself cracking up at every point. Here is the article Right!?!?! It's so true, but the one that hit me the most was when bloggers tell you their entire life stories and then they finally give the recipe at the end. I see myself going on Pinterest and just scrolling to the bottom every time. I read them sometimes, once I've picked a recipe. They are somewhat useful. Sometimes they'll throw in little cooking tricks that if you didn't use on this recipe it would be terrible. Anyway, so I have decided I am just going to post delicious recipes and pictures of delicious food. Maybe a 'I LOVE CHEESE' or something short here and there, but I want my posts to be all about the recipe! How do I make it and what do I need! I am also a huge component for as little ingredients as p...

Easiest pork EVER

Kalua Pig Okay this recipe takes all day in your slow cooker, but seriously so easy!!!! I got this recipe from a blog called Whole30 Cooking.

Anyway, onto the recipe. INGREDIENTS: 5 lbs pork shoulder  2 tablespoons liquid smoke  2-3 tablespoons Pink Himalayan Salt  DIRECTIONS: 1. Rinse pork and pat dry. Place in a slow cooker.  2. Stab holes all over the pork with a knife. 3. On one side put 1 Tbs. of liquid smoke and 1 Tbs. of salt and the same on the other side.  4. Cook on low for 10 hours. (I know it's a long time) Shred (but not too thin) in slow cooker and serve.  Serve with charred cabbage or really anything.
