Dinner Tonight is Stir Fry

I made Chicken Stir Fry for dinner. It has fresh veggies; red bell peppers; yellow peppers; onions; mushrooms; broccoli; garlic; ginger and scallions. I roasted chicken in a Teriyaki sauce at 400 degrees to give it a crisp skin. I shredded the chicken and added to the stir fry. I made Jasmin Rice yesterday for this meal today. It's always better to cook your rice the day before. I used Lite Soy Sauce. I then scrambled 3 eggs and made a well in the middle of the rice and cooked the eggs, scrambling them slowly to the rice mixture, then it was all tossed together. It was pretty good!

I am meeting the girls tomorrow from my stamp class and I have to make two greeting cards to exchange. I really need to get going on this, nothing like waiting to the last minute. Sometimes this is when I create the best!

June 6, 2011 Blueberry Picking

Hi Everyone!
Sorry, its been so long since I have posted on my blog. I almost gave it up, but had a few friends request that I continue posting. They said they missed my blog, especially my food post, so here I am.

Today's agenda was to go Blueberry picking, at one of my very dear friends house. They have these huge blueberry bushes. This years crop was different from last years. It seems they have different varieties of blueberries and one of the variety hardly produced any blue berries. They said this has happened before. Anyway, there were plenty of blueberries to pick, the only problem was I left my house very late. I think I got there at 1pm right at hottest part of the day, not to smart! I left late, because the Casey Anthony case was on TV and the judge was getting ready to sentence her so I hung around for that news. So I picked blueberries and almost got heat stroke from doing so, I should have had some water while I was doing this, by the time I got in my truck my face was oh so red. I did wear a big had and light cloths, that helped.

Now what to make with all these blueberries, how about blueberry pancakes, a blueberry pie for my hubby because he just loves that and how about blueberry pound cake. I love putting them on my salad and on my yogurt. Maybe, some jam would be good to make, I will let you know.

Dinner tonight, Roast Chicken on a fresh salad....

I made a salad with Romaine Lettuce and Ice burg Lettuce and I topped it with cucumbers, carrots, chickpeas, pecans, dried cherries, Parmesan Cheese and Blue Cheese. I marinated the chicken all day in olive oil, lemon rind and juice, black pepper, Dijon Mustard, sea salt, peso, sun-dried tomatoes and fresh Rosemary. I baked the chicken for 50 minutes at 375 degrees. This chicken was chicken breast with skin on the bone.

Spring has sprung! April 10, 2011

I decorated my school bus today! Some of these things I made and some I just bought. I made the pen holder and all the crazy pens. I hung all these decorations from the ceiling of my school bus, when the kids open the windows all these things will be swirling around. It gives them something fun to look at while they are on the bus. Buses are pretty ugly and boring inside, so I know this will be fun for the kids. Tomorrow will be our first day back from Spring Break and I can't wait to pick up my kids. They are going to be so happy when they see all that I have done for them. I will take a picture tomorrow of my bus so you can all see and I will add it to this post.

What I did in February

These are some of the things I made for Valentine's Day, also, how I decorated my school bus. I did not make the wreath; I bought that at Michael's when it was marked down 70%, or the Valentine Bears. I did make the homemade granola and treat bags and gave out treat bags to my friends. I used my Cricut Machine to make the cute tags. I am working on my spring things now, so life is good...

Valentine Pens

I made these cute Valentine Pens for a few of my co-workers and I gave them out today! They were easy breezy to make.
