Birthday fun and easy meals

Hello everyone 🌞

With my craft room in order, it was easy and fun to make this birthday card.  I used a circle paper punch, embroidery floss, scrap paper, a glue stick and a rubber stamp. 





Our oldest granddaughter, Elizabeth, turned 8 ❤️

Her momma (my daughter, Nina) made her a very fun surprise center cake. 
When cut, candy and sprinkles pour out.  It was a very special cake and it tasted delicious too. 
Nina also fancied up my husband’s insulated iced tea cup.  She uses some kind of inks, epoxies and a turning contraption.  They turn out beautiful and she has a busy little side business starting with them.  



I haven’t made a pretty to do list lately but I made one yesterday.  


My husband has a little garden in our backyard.  Yesterday he picked onions, a few peppers, basil and lettuce.  


Supper last night was easy
Hash brown potatoes
Spinach from the garden with onions and a little bacon
Chopped veggies with cottage cheese- I like balsamic vinegar on mine ❤️


Another easy meal was fajita bowls. I cooked 2 diced chicken breasts in one pan, 2 onions and 2 bell peppers in another,  when done I mixed them together and seasoned with garlic salt, pepper and lime juice.  
Serve on top of rice and add salsa, sour cream and cheese as desired.  

This is so good and is good leftover too.

  5. I love making homemade cards and yours is very cute! How did you glue down the embroidery floss? The cake that Nina made is incredible...that is one of the coolest cakes I've ever seen! I can only imagine how delighted a child would be with this cake.

    Nothing better than picking veggies out of your own garden. Can't wait until later this summer when tomatoes are ripe. I do burrito bowls or wraps often.

  7. What an awesome cake!!!!
    And card as well!
    Love your garden treats...
    We had a salad tonight too with garden lettuce.
    My husband's mother made the best summer meal!!!
    She took garden lettuce, and mixed miracle whip with vinegar and garden scallions.
    She browned boiled garden potatoes until crispy.
    Then she topped the potatoes with the lettuce and the vinegar mixture.
    So good!
