Happy Homemaker In Texas

Outside my window
Sunshine and pretty weather.
The garden is growing!

The weather
is gorgeous. We had some hot days last week but it is spring again.  Upper 70's!

On the breakfast plate

I made a new recipe yesterday. It was so good even though I messed it up. I forgot the milk!  The recipe was
Breakfast Enchilada's.  You cook sausage and onions then grate cheese.  Put the mix in a flour tortilla and roll up. Mix some eggs, milk and some spices and pour over.  Bake 20 min at 300 then put more cheese on top and bake while longer.  It was so yummy! I had fagita size tortillas and I made 4 in a pyrex dish. I ate 1 and put 3 in the freezer.
I saw the recipe on FB it was a video.  There are alot on 
Pinterest.  Next time I will add the right amount of milk and mix in Green Chili's

On the menu dinner plate
I was busy outside all week and tried to make simple meals.
On Monday we went to lunch to our favorite Fish place.  We had leftovers for dinner
2 nights we had leftover ribs from the freezer.
We had some Smoked Sausage we bought at a discount grocer across town.  It was o.k. but it was a bit spicy.
I'll serve it next either in Gumbo or with Shrimp Creole.
I made a Tuna Helper 1 night.  I don't buy boxed meals but we got a box at the food pantry.  I was in a pinch at it was perfect for a fast simple meal.
On Friday we ordered Pizza.  It has been so long.  It was so yummy.

The Cowboy has been doing really well with his diet and feeling really good.  We spirled alot this week and stretched the restrictions.

My 'To Do List'
I am making a Junk Journal for a SWAP
I still need to straighten and organize my cookbooks the shelf is such a mess. 
Would you believe I still have a few Christmas things sitting on my cookbook shelf?  Should I put them away?
Check off my To Do List for 'To Love A Cowboy Tour'

My 'Ta Da Moment'
I planned a book tour for June to celebrate my very own Cowboy 
because it is our anniversary month.  And I got 3 of my 4 invited authors signed up!  Crossing my fingers for #4!


In the garden
Some really pretty purple flowers came up amongst the 
Cilantro.  The Bee's love it.  Dragon Flies seem to favor it too.
We just might have Green Beans by the end of the week.  There are blooms on the first planting. 
The Corn is about 4' tall!  
Sadly a bug got to my Celery (1 plant) and Kale...so starting over.
Peas are growing up the trellis and Tomato has blooms!

Something fun to share
We welcomed a new member to the family this week!

A gorgeous perfect little filly.  My son is beyond happy and excited!  She is the 2nd in his line.  Well actually 3rd he bred the mama Speck (barn name) his Senior year in high school.  It's been a long road but he is getting his breeding program established. 

More fun to share
My second book promo. tour.  I am deep in making plans and making tour banners for 'To Love A Cowboy'

In the craft room 
I am creating a Junk Journal from 3 pieces of 12x12 paper. 
It is a challenge for a group.  We were to 'create' anything from 3 pieces of paper using it all.  I thought well making a journal is a great way to use up some paper I've had for awhile.  I just started yesterday but here are a few pics. of the beginning stages . . .

Scripture/Devo

I wanted to share this today and the group.  This is one of the plans I am doing this month. This group does digital journaling.  I just follow them and write in my journal.  The leader is Robin Sampson's and this is her  beautiful work.  The group is Bible Journal Love Circle.
