happy sunday everyone!
have you been following along my with my sign making adventure? what do you think? enjoying the process? or are you fully annoyed by all my tweets / Facebook updates?
it feels really good to be painting again so i'm enjoy the process. though, focusing all my energy on this project is keeping me from doing other things that need done. i suppose, like anything, it's a give and take.
at any rate i'm hoping the sign is mostly complete tonight. tomorrow i'll have a full reveal on the blog and then on tuesday i'll show you step by step how it came together in case you weren't able to follow along or were confused by any of the steps.
right now, as the paint drys, i am taking a break from painting to share my weekly pinterest finds. this week i was inspired by all the slow cooker/crock pot meals. i am a huge fan of anything from a crock pot. slow cooker meals are always warm, hearty and flavorful. they are comforting. unfortunately, living on my own, i don't find myself cooking in a crock pot often, but that still doesn't leave me any less inspired. here's what i came up with... and, i warn you, you may need a napkin to wipe the drool.
chicken cordon bleu <-- click link for recipe.
brie and brisket quesadillas with mango barbecue sauce <-- click link for recipe.

ReplyDeleteI've loved watching your sign come along over Twitter and I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product! :)
Here's a yummy slow cooker recipe for chicken for you to try. My family LOVES it!
ReplyDelete1 package of Good Seasons Italian Seasoning
2 TBSP butter
2 cans of GOLDEN mushroom soup
1 tub of onion and chive cream cheese
1 cup of chicken stock or dry white wine
melt the butter, add the Italian seasoning to heat, add the remaining in ingredients in a saucepan until melted and combined. Pour over chicken breast in the crockpot and cook slowly until done.
YUM YUM!!
I am for sure trying out some of these!
ReplyDeleteI did the slow cooker egg casserole. It had great flavor, but I missed the crispiness in the hashbrowns, though... It is just as easy to get it ready the night before and through it in the oven as soon as you wake up.
ReplyDeleteBaked potato soup would have been perfect for a rainy day like today!
ReplyDeleteThanks for giving my crockpot egg brunch casserole a shout out. You gotta love something that cooks while you sleep!!!

Love the crock-pot! I recently made a black bean and butternut squash chili in the crock that was so yummy. I am getting braver with trying new ingredients. Beautiful blog you have!
ReplyDeleteawesome blog, checking out the Potato Soup recipe now. Just wanted to give you a heads up... the word 'constantly' is spelled wrong at the top of your page under your photo. :o)
ReplyDeleteThe baked potato soup recipe is awful!:( I found it on Pinterest and tried it today and it was foul. This is the first recipe that I have tried from Pinterest that didn't work out...Live and learn I guess.
ReplyDeleteI might just have to come and visit your inn so we can make all these yummy finds on Pinterest! We are loving the same stuff. :)
