Halloween Nails

I did these with "monsters in the dark" in mind... though they look like the little guys from the goo game too.

They're simple and fun for Halloween :)



You start by painting your nails black. I like to do at least two coats to get them good and dark. Then I took white nail polish and placed two dots on each nail - side by side. Some touching, some spaced - it's completely up to you. Then I took a toothpick and dipped it into the black. With the toothpick I placed little dots inside the white dots... and there you have it - eyes staring back at you through the dark :) Once dry, top with a clear coat and you're good to go.

A Quinoa Experiment

Image
I've had a bag of red quinoa in my pantry for a long time. I originally got it to be part of a recipe that sounded good, but I didn't find all the ingredients at the time. I never really went back out to search and the quinoa just sat in the pantry. So finally I decided to make some and try something with it. And well, I'm going to pat myself on the back a little, this was one experiment I really liked! It came out so good that a few days later, I did made it again :) However, as a result, I honestly didn't take many pictures. Sorry about that. So here's the yummy red quinoa veggie salad... I didn't cook the quinoa exactly as the package said too - but you could and have it totally cold. Trust me, this is one dish that's yummy warm or cold :) I'm going to write it the way I made it though... not necessarily the way it should've been cooked.

Crock-Pot Salmon?

Image
I don't know about you, but I love my crock-pot! The ease of tossing things together, walking away, and coming back to some yummy food is wonderful! I honestly have yet to make something that hasn't come out good from the crock-pot! It's not always as pretty, but is sure is tasty! I was recently looking through a blog where a gal used her crock-pot every day for a whole year! I found lots of yummy ideas on her site, but the one that I just couldn't wait to try was salmon. Fish - from the crock-pot? This was unheard of for me... would it really taste good? Would it dry out? It was certainly worth a shot! She had done Salmon 5 different ways - with green beans  in January,  sweet and spicy  in March, lemon and dill in May,  Jamaican  in July, and cedar planked in December. I must admit, I still want to try the cedar plank as that sounds interesting to me. However, my inspiration for this one came from the sweet and spicy and the Jamaican one. They were both...

Cooling Down Part 1

Image
I must admit, ever since I did the Peach Tea post I've been thinking of other summer drinks. So over the  past week I've been having fun with some cool drinks. Tea came first to mind, understandably after the last one :) But I did take the time to get at least a little more creative with most of the drinks... the first one though was very similar to the  Peach Tea  - but it's not sun tea or peach so I did grow a little :) Generally I am all about water in all honesty. It's my go to drink of choice and I honestly do enjoy a good tall glass of water. I'll drink it hot - and I mean like hot tea water without the tea :) Or room temperature... sometimes iced, but in all honesty iced is usually my least favorite. I don't know what it is about it - but I like water. However, that doesn't mean that I don't enjoy other drinks to get my daily dose of liquids - sometimes a little flavor is pretty nice :) The tricky part is not getting too  much sugar - and yes, ...
