15 Minute Meal Idea: Buffalo Chicken Wraps

24 February 2013

Let me say this... I am by no means a chef or great in the kitchen. There are a few things I have made that others have really loved! These are the recipes that I will be sharing. They are simple, easy, unconventional, and no where near proper..but they work and they are tasty! I am in the process of learning how to be a better cook...and of course sharing my experiences.

This is hands down one of my favorite meals to throw together. I'm a busy lady and cooking usually gets very little of my time. One of the quickest ways to a full stomach in my house is through Buffalo Chicken Wraps & French Fries. They are easy and quick to make and seem to be a favorite 'round here.

DIY Personalized Mugs

06 February 2013

For those who are following me on Facebook you will remember me mentioning that I wanted to share some crafty ideas between now and Valentine's Day. I think personalized and homemade gifts are the best Valentine's Day gifts! {anybody else over the chocolate and teddy bears like me??}

Recently I've seen some cute personalized mugs floating around the internet. I think it is a great idea to make personalize mugs as a Valentine's Day Gift. It's a great way to add a thoughtful touch to a gift. I love this idea because it doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful. {I'm left-handed, I can't draw and have terrible handwriting..but even with all of that I love how they turned out!}

There are two ways you can do this one using permanent marker and the other enamel craft paint. I used both processes. The process is very simple.
