Good grief...I sure haven't done a very good job at keeping up with my blog. I sure do appreciate you all hanging around waiting to see what I come up with next! :)
Today I have for you an address book that I altered for my bud Annmaree! It just had a plain black cover so I thought it needed some pretty paper and a nice big sparkly flower!!

Peanut Butter and Jelly Muffins!
The only thing I did different was use cherry preserves instead of strawberry jam. These make a really nice breakfast with a glass of milk or snack!

Cherry Chocolate Brownies!
This year I had intended to make everyone a mini rum cake for Christmas but time ran out and I only had enough for the immediate family. Not wanting to leave anyone out I happened to come across this recipe on my blogging pal Becky's blog the day before Christmas Eve and decided to whip up two batches and put in pre-made treat boxes from the dollar store....they were a hit!!
So soft and yummy!! You can find the recipe HERE!
The only thing I did different was drop the white chocolate chips into the batter before baking instead of afterwards and smearing like icing.
Enjoy! :)

Re-worked Card
I usually don't redo cards because I could spend AGES tweaking by adding this, taking away that, etc. I would never get anything done! LOL!
But this card was eating away at me and I just had to make a tiny little addition and boy did it make a world of difference!
Here is the original card and you can click HERE for the original post.
............and this is the after!!!
Gotta love embossing!! :)

Now for my DT cards to get you started!
I actually had a dream with the design for creating these cards! I got up one morning and whipped these up in a matter of minutes! That rarely happens so I guess it was just meant to be as I had such a clear vision on how these cards were going to turn out! I used a Martha Stewart Punch to create the window and the snowflakes are Martha Stewart pre-glittered stickers (no mess!) and then I ran the front through my Cuttlebug with a snowflake emossing folder. Finished them off by rounding the corners. I was very pleased how these turned out...wish I could have more crafty dreams to get my mojo flowing! LOL!

Spinach Pie
I was having a "popeye" moment and just had to try this spinach pie with goat cheese, golden raisins and pine nuts! It was definately time consuming and a little finnicky working with the phyllo sheets but overall a good recipe! I had to put my own spin on it of course and added some mushrooms and basalmic vinegar...I also used 5 packages of frozen spinach (thawed) instead of fresh because it is much cheaper!

Broccoli and Chicken Casserole
Time for another Tasty Tuesday....I wonder where the last week has gone?! This time of year seems to fly by!
Today I have for you another Cooking Light recipe....you can view it by clicking HERE!
I did change a few things....I used regular quick cook brown rice instead of the long grain. Left out the celery and added mushrooms. I add those to everything! LOL! I also baked this in a 9x13 casserole dish instead of individual ramekins. This is a good way to get in some more green veggies in your diet!
ENJOY!
