contemplation

I have gone over and over in my mind for months, maybe even years, about having a blog that featured anything but pictures of my family. I didn't want to post with wrong motives. I like to look at other's blogs and observe their creativity and would absolutely hate it if one of my dear friends didn't post every little thing 'cause I would miss way too much of her life.
So I finally decided to post some things that I have been up to and jump into the blogging world.

here goes::

I love to create things I need. I call myself a functional sewer. I am not a huge fan of patterns, I usually just make it and then use it.
I absolutely LOVE colorful things {paper, fabric, pens, ribbon, pictures, the list goes on}, maybe that's why I majored in Graphic Design and had a ton of fun!

My plan:: Share my makings, my thoughts and some everyday life.
{enjoy}

post #7 :: a favorite salad

I enjoyed this salad for three meals over two days...
so I thought I would share this super simple, but quite healthy salad recipe

Taco Salad

ground turkey cooked to taste
{I use chili powder, cumin, garlic salt and parsley for seasoning}

lots of lettuce
pinto beans drained and rinsed
canned corn
chopped red pepper
chopped tomatoes
sliced avocado
grated cheese
sour cream
broken tortilla chips
sliced olives

{salad dressing of choice}

i mix Light House Balsamic dressing with a bit of chili powder and cumin
...super YUM...

{one trick for picky eaters, or how I like to say it "particular". One thing that I am adding to my repertoire of tastes is raw red pepper. so I add it to salads like this in little pieces so I get a hint of the flavor without a huge rush. try it with a veggie that you are warming up to
...i dare you!}
