100 Day Creativity Challenge (Days 78-84)

OKAY! I am finally back home, so my posts should be way better- let's see.

#DAY78 I made some January goals. Health, money, creativity, and love. These are the different aspects of my life that are important.... or at least what I could think of at that time.

Then, #DAY79 I messed around on Procreate on my Ipad again. I will get GREAT at this. It's a matter of time. HAHA! I need to practice... and buy special brushes. Anyway...

Now, #DAY80. Only twenty more days, how crazy. I made a WHOLE30 timeline. So, when I write a blog later I will have notes on how I felt each day. So far nothing has happened, I had an infection from all the travel and whatnot and didn't want to eat anyway. So that was helpful. Sorry for the comments....

For #DAY81 I made a yummy Whole30 compliant meal for dinner. My husband made it into tacos... I wanted a salad. BOTH WERE DELICIOUS! Sidenote: Chicken thighs are delicious.

And now #DAY82. Today I was feeling a little down. No particular reason. Maybe because of job searching... Always upsetting. Anyway, here it is, it turned out pretty well, but my marker is super frayed which is cause for mistakes.... everywhere!! ugh!

Now for #Day83, as I mentioned before I was doing Whole 30! I know there's a lot of negativity about the diet, but I needed something drastic to make me stop dreaming of cheese all day everyday. So, here are my delicious sweet potato pork nachos. SO AMAZING! 100% will eat again not on the diet.

BRB drooling

OKAY, Last day of the week! #DAY84. I got back into brush lettering. This might be the best job I've done with my brush pens. Look at me, growin.

How to Spatchcock a Turkey

Are you ready to find out the secret to an amazing Thanksgiving turkey? Is it brining? Basting? Butter under the skin? WHAT IS IT?!?! It's called spatchcocking and it is a Godsend. Note: you can also do this to chicken or any poultry (it will probably be different cooking times and whatnot) What is spatchcocking? Spatchcocking means you remove the backbone and lay your bird flat (don't worry I will do a step by step tutorial below). You do this so your legs and breasts cook at relatively the same time. With this method you want the breasts to end at about 150 degrees and the legs to end at about 165 degrees. Which is why we removed our legs in case they needed to cook longer. How to Prepare a spatchcocked turkey? First, we bought a turkey. You buy one pound per guest. We had to get a frozen one because we bought it a week and a half early... But if you are cooking for Thanksgiving I highly recommend getting a fresh bird. There is no need to get one that is pre ...

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...

100 Day Creativity Challenge (Days 15-21)

I realize I am a little delayed on these days, but I don't think I have that DAILY of a following. So I think I'm okay. Anyway, on to Day 15. For Day 15 I decided to break out the calligraphy set my husband gave me two birthdays ago. BEST GIFT EVER! It takes a lot of practice, and you have to go super slow.... not my forte. But once you get going it is amazingly easy. It makes you feel like using a quill back in the day with John Hancock. Or is it Herbie Hancock? The world will never know. #tommyboy Anyway, I was just messing around and writing letters, hope you enjoy my #DAY 15 Next, Day 16 I thought I'd give crocheting another go. I ended up using my entire thing of yarn, and it was only big enough to be a scarf (kind of going for a blanket, but the scarf is cute). I still haven't mastered it, and I need to do more research.... And of course PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE #swanprincess. #DAY16 Day 17, this was a busy day. I went to Denver for ...
