What Is It Wednesdays!

Another great What Is It Wednesday? meal, courtesy of Christy Barnett (who made it first, and brought it to Stamp Club to share with the girls!). Thanks for the recipe Christy! It was super easy and quick to make....and my husband (who says that Mexican food is his NUMBER ONE FAVORITE haha) loved it! I've included the recipe below, in case you want to try it out :)



RECIPE for SPICY MEXICAN TORTE:

Ingredients: 1/2 pound chorizo ground sausage, 1 large onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (finely chopped), 1 can (4 oz) green chilies (drained), 1 can (16oz) refried beans, 1 jar of roasted red bell peppers (or 2 red bell peppers if you roast them yourself), 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, & 8 flour tortillas.

Method: Cook sausage, onions and garlic in a skillet over medium heat. Drain, stir in chilies, and set aside. Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a pie plate, and place 2 torillas in the bottom. Spread half the sausage mixture on top, sprinkle half the cheese, then top with 2 tortillas. Sprad refried beans on top, then top with 2 tortillas. Spread the roasted bell peppers, then top with 2 tortillas. Sprad reamaining sausage mixture and sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top. Cover, and bake for 40 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving with Sour Cream and Salsa! Enjoy!

Day 7: Generations: Capture the generations surrounding your loved one... I took this opportunity to photograph our hands :) I remember when Jem's hand was so little and how teeny and soft it felt in mine.....and now when I see our hands together I can hardly believe it. His hand is almost as big as mine, though it is much softer and less wrinkled. He has his daddy's long fingers. He will have big, strong hands just like him. Ahhhh....the years have gone by so fast....I wish I could keep him little forever! This photograph was taken at bedtime, using an external flash that bounced light from the ceiling. The aperture was 4.0 , shutter speed was 1/125 and the ISO was 200 . Seriously...the external flash makes all the difference - I would not have been able to get a picture {inside at night} without it.

Stampin' Up!

How many of you have heard of Stampin' Up!? It's an at home party based rubber stamping company. Whew! That was a mouthful! Stampin' Up! has been around for years, and makes beautiful rubber stamp sets, exclusive colored inks/papers/markers and a ton of accessories! I have been using their products for a few years now, and just recently signed on to become a demonstrator myself! Yes, that's right........I am now open for business *LOL*. I am having my very first party in 2 weeks time, with my friend Katie hostessing a gathering! I will be demonstrating and allowing the guests to make two or three projects (depending on time) and will have the current catalog available for anyone who'd like to order (perhaps there is something they just can't live without -- hee hee, I certainly know that feeling!). Here are two of the projects I am thinking of doing; a heart card using the "Always" stamp set and a gift card holder using the "Baroque Motifs" ...

Day 13: Their Routines...document what it is they do on a regular basis... Jem has a routine that he always follows when he gets home from school. We call it doing his "Jobs". He unpacks his backpack and gives me his daily folder, then unloads his lunchbox. He goes upstairs and gets into his PJ's and puts his clothes away, and then....well then he practices his Piano lesson for the week. Jem has been taking piano since September, and he really loves it. It's not really a chore to have him practice - he does it willingly and happily. I love listening to him play - and he quite likes having an audience ;) At the moment he is practicing 2 songs - the Star Wars Theme Song (his favorite) & This Is Your Land.
