Beefy Broccoli Pie
(From Taste of Home: Ground Beef Cookbook)
1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 package (10 ounces) frozen cut broccoli, cooked and drained
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
2 tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent rolls, divided
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
In a skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add broccoli and soup; mix well. Unroll one tube of crescent rolls. Press into a greased 13x9 in baking pan. Seal seams and perforations. Top with meat mixture. Sprinkle with cheese. Unroll remaining crescent dough and place over meat mixture; seal seams and perforations. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 6-8 servings.
Flour Tortillas
2 Cups flour
1 tsp honey
2 Tablespoons soft butter
2/3 Cup cold water
Mix flour, honey and butter with pastry cutter or fork. Add water a little at a time til dough sticks together. Pinch off golf ball size pieces and roll out very thin on a floured surface. Fry on ungreased griddle or pan (cast iron works great) until several large bubbles rise. Turn and cook 30 – 45 seconds until LIGHT brown spots appear. Do not overcook. Leftovers should be lightly wrapped and stored in refrigerator.
Broccoli Beef Lo Mein
1 pound ground beef
1 large onion, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 jar (4-1/2 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained
6 ounces vermicelli or thin spaghetti, cooked and drained

1/4 cup soy sauce
2 teaspoons ground ginger
In a large skillet, cook beef, onion and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add mushrooms. cook and stir for 3-5 minutes. Stir in the vermicelli, broccoli, soy sauce and ginger; toss to coat. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 4-6 servings.

One of my all time favorite sites - ScrapbookSteals.com - is gearing up for another online crop on May 21st. Usually they post challenges for us to work on during the crop, but this time they posted some challenges early! I L-O-V-E these challenges because it gives me that extra little kick in the behind to get my scrap on!
I don't need many excuses to use ribbon, so I jumped right on the ribbon challenge! I wanted to do something a little different with it though, and I thought weaving some of my American Crafts ribbon would be perfect for this layout...
I started by tracing and cutting the circles, letters, and number. Then I layed out the ribbons going in one direction on the back side of the paper and secured them using mini glue dots. *Here's a little tip - don't adhere the ribbon until you are sure of the placement...those little dots have a lot of sticky power! Once the first set of ribbons is in place, you can start weaving. I just used my fingers to pull the ribbon up and under, but tweezers would've saved a bunch of time!
Once you have all your ribbon weaved and placed where you want, go ahead and secure the ends down with some more mini glue dots.
This is what your weave should look like when you turn your paper over...
Just trim away the excess ribbon and embellish however you want. Here are some close up pics...
As you can see, the ribbon weave works great with any kind of shape.
I ended up with a 2 page layout so I could show some journaling. I used basically the same technique with the ribbon weaving on the top and bottom of the page, just with some larger American Craft ribbon.
I would love to see some of your designs using the ribbon weave technique! Just post a link in the comment section to your pictures. :)

Crunchy? No - but maybe a little crispy.
I had never even heard of the term 'Crunchy Mom' until I started looking into using cloth diapers. I haven't seen an actual definition yet, but apparently it's someone that leads a truly natural lifestyle (homebirth, breastfeeding, co-sleeping, attachment parenting, chemical-free, cloth diapers, organic, etc). Want to know how Crunchy you are? You can take a quiz here to find out. I am 'Pretty Crispy!' but I was only a couple points away from 'Mmm! Love that whole grain crunch!' LOL
Anyway...back to why the whole 'Crunchy Mom' thing came up...
Yep...we're officially switching to cloth!! I am so tired of constantly changing diaper brands because of rashes. Hubby and I have mentioned using cloth before...but more in the 'If I had to do it, I would" context. Then the whole new Pampers scare finally pushed me over the edge! I did a bunch of research, joined a couple cloth diapering boards, and talked to the one (yep 1) person I knew in my state that uses cloth. We finally settled on a trial pack from Jillian's Drawers. They had a great variety and we can try the diapers for 21 days. If we don't like them, we can return them and we're only out $10. The picture above is everything that came in the pack. (By the way, they have awesome customer service! I realized we didn't get the sample pack of flushable liners so I sent them a quick email. They got back to me right away and had my liners in the mail that day!)
Obviously, these are not our grandmothers' diapers!! No pins or nasty rubber pants. Just lots and lots of fluffy cuteness!! Even hubby likes them! Look for more adventures in cloth diapering soon!!!

Storage for Border Embellishments
I have a hard time finding ways to store my border embellishments for scrapbooking. I've either been storing them in the bags made for 12x12 papers or a spaghetti noodle holder...
The bags were great, because the embellishments were completely covered so they wouldn't get dirty or dusty, but if I wasn't careful, they would get bent up in the bags. The noodle holder was wonderful because they didn't get bent, but I had no way to cover them except for putting a plastic bag over them...not very attractive.
While grocery shopping a couple days ago, I noticed these super stack Pringles (that I happened to have a coupon for) and I thought that this container would be perfect for storing borders. Is it sad that I buy food items just to reuse their containers for something else???
The can still wasn't quite tall enough, so I did have to make some modifications...
I started by washing and drying the can and lid. I unrolled the cardboard at the top of the can,
Then I cut 2, 2 inch sections off a paper towel roll. You could also use a toilet paper roll, but the paper towel ones are usually thicker.
I made one cut in each of the paper towel roll sections to make it lay flat and then taped each section onto the top of the can...
I folded over the top of the cardboard and taped it down to give the lid a little better grip when it's on the can. I went a little tape crazy, but I wanted to make sure the top of the can was nice and sturdy...
This is what the can looks like after the paper towel roll sections are taped down...
I used some paper from American Crafts Blue Skies Collection to cover the can and I used Aleene's Tacky Glue to attach the paper to the can, but you could probably use a glue gun or any other sturdy glue. If you roll the paper before hand, it will have a nice curve to it that makes it easier to attach to the can.
You will probably have just a little bit of overhang on the top of the container. I folded this over and taped it to the inside of the can and then I glued a piece of scrap paper into the inside to cover up all the tape.
Cut a piece of ribbon 8-10 inches long and attach to the can using a stapler. To reinforce the ribbon, I used two staples criss-crossed over each other and then I added a couple stickers to hide the staples.
Pop on the lid when your done and this makes a great little storage container for your borders that's pretty enough to hang up and easy to grab for scrapbooking on-the-go.

$4 Dinner for Two
Two of my goals for this year are eating healthy and spending less money. This dinner encompases both of those goals wonderfully. (Look for the cost breakdown at the end of the blog.)
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Peel and thinly slice sweet potato (I used my food processor). Drizzle olive oil over slices and add seasonings. Toss or stir potatoes until evenly covered. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and spray. Place sweet potato slices onto cookie sheet, making sure that they are not overlapping. Bake for 30 minutes or until edges start turning brown. The chips will become crispier as they cool down.
**Tip for storing mushrooms: If you're only using half a package, only wash what you will use and store the rest of the mushrooms in a brown paper sack. This will keep the mushrooms fresh a little longer than storing in plastic containers or bags.
Seasoned Pork Cutlet Sandwich with Romaine Lettuce and Tomato on Earthgrains Thin Bun
Broccoli
Sauteed Portabella Mushrooms
Baked Sweet Potato Chips
Sweet Potato Chips
1 large sweet potato (makes enough for about 4 servings)
Olive Oil
Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper
**What I would've done differently** Instead of baking the sweet potatoes at 425 degrees, I would've baked them at a lower temperature for a longer time. I think this would've prevented a lot of the burnt edges. I'm sure these could be baked in the morning or the next day and stored until ready to eat.
Seasoned Pork Cutlet
2 Pork Cutlets
McCormick Grill Mates seasoning (or seasonings of your choice)
In order for the meat to cook evenly, I like to let it sit, covered, at room temperature for about a half hour before cooking. Preheat your skillet (I used cast iron for this, but if not using cast iron or non stick, make sure to spray your pan or put a little olive or canola oil in it). Sprinkle seasonings on both sides of pork and rub in.
Put cutlets into pan. Cook on each side for about 5-10 minutes until done.
Sauteed Portabella Mushrooms
4 oz Portabella Mushrooms (serves 2) (A lot of times sliced mushrooms will be the same price as whole.)
1 tsp unsalted butter
1 Tbl olive oil
*Most sauteed mushrooms are made with a lot of butter, by subsituting some of that with olive oil, you still get that great, sauteed taste, but it's a little healthier for you.
Garlic (fresh or powdered)
Onions (fresh or powdered)
Melt butter in pan with olive oil over med-high heat. If using fresh garlic and onion, satuee these before adding the mushrooms. If using powdered garlic and onion, add with the mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms develop a dark brown color. Usually about 10-15 minutes.
Steam the broccoli.
Toast the buns and serve with condiments of your choice.
Cost Breakdown:
EarthGrains 100% Whole Grain Thin Buns = $.62 for 2 buns
Bird's Eye Broccoli = $.99 for 1 bag
Sliced Portabella Mushrooms = $.75 for 1/2 container
Sweet Potato Chips = $.79 for 1 sweet potato
Total cost for dinner for two = $3.15
(Plus, there were some Sweet Potato Chips and Broccoli leftover that I had for lunch the next day!!)
