Foodie Friday

 Hello. Welcome  to Foodie Friday.  

The day I share what ended up on the Rustic  Dinner Plate. 

I tried to stay with my menu plan.  And I did pretty  well.  I did flip a few days though.  

Here's  what got onto the plate.

The Cowboy  loves his Kielbasa. 

I live Fried Potatoes.  But these ended up simmer with the Cabbage. 

The other night during the move the Cowboy  got Pizza.  

He brought me Chocolate  Cake.  I liked the Whipped Cream best!

I anned a Clean Out Fridge night for late in the week . . . 

I ended up doing it Tuesday 

A Steak Taco from left over Rib Eyes . . . 

And what we call Saddle Blankets from left over Chili. 

Years and years ago . . .like 40 cuz our son is 41 there was this restaurant  we loved that made Tacos with a Chili type mixture and served in Flour Tortillas. 

The best Oriental Pepper Steak  I have had/made in years.  I used Chuck Roast and cooked in the Crock Pot.  My flavors weren't  really there because I made it from memory.   But Chuck Roast instead of Round Steak was a winner!

Just Salad swimming in Dressing like the Cowboy  likes. 

My Salad doesn't  swim. 

But

Unlike the Cowboy my Baked Potato is loaded!

A yummy Pork Chop with leftover Cabbage . . . 

A little over done but it was good! 

Our regular Wednesday treat.  

I need d it after finishing moving and cooking every night. 

And my 2nd Clean Out The Frig/Freezer.  Gumbo from leftover Shrimp Crab Leg boil and Kielbasa.

The Cowboy likes Gumbo as a side. 

Simple Shrimp in a Butter sauce and Noodles. 

I got some baking done. 

3 ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies. 

The recipe makes a dozen.  They are already gone!

I will have to make a double batch next time!

Another treat for me.  Chocolate Ice Cream was half price!  It was so good! 

So that's my week.  

What was on your dinner plate? 

Smile It’s Friday

 

Good Morning

Craft Space Unboxed

 Hello.  Today I am sharing  a bit of a project I did last year with a group. 

A friend from another group asked us to share Junk Journals  made from Junk. 

I have been looking for this project amidst my packed boxes

I am glad I found it. 

A true Junk Journal is made literally from trash.  

Here are a few pages made with bits and pieces . . .  

Beginning with a book that I altered . . .  

An old homeschooling work book . . . 

I started by tearing  out pages. 

Tear 4.   Skip 2.  Tear 4.  Continue. 

As you glue and embellishment  to the pages it gets fatter.  Or chunky. 

Junk Jounal artists like chunky. 

This fussy shot shows how thick it was before  adding 

I cut a large Spoon and Fork from a Trader Joe's grocery bag.   

A piece of trash

I used the sign card from the inside of a magazine. 

A piece of trash.

The purple swirly piece of paper is the packaging  from a roll of toilet paper.  

A piece  of trash. 

The Fork cut from the bag is placed across the double page spread.  

On the lower left is the wrapping from a bar of soap from France. 

A piece of trash. 

The tag on the right is left over from a Cowgirl clothing line I manufactured  for a short time. 

I coffee dyed the tag. 

A piece of trash. 

Lots of trash here. 

On the left a bit of an old 1992 calendar.  

Hot chocolate  cup from the mailer advertisement  from our Ace Hardware. 

At the very top the date from an old calendar. 

The Tea Pot from the Trader Joe's bag. 

Butterflies  punched from scraps of paper. 

More trash. 

A reused bag. It's  too big but I didn't  want to cut it.   It is taped on with washi covering . . . 

Another piece from Trader Joe's.

Below is my favorite  Junk Jounal I received  in a SWAP

I am glad to be digging out my spies.  

I will be creating  soon! 

Good Morning Have A Great Day
