Two New: No-Fail Recipes Your Tastebuds Will Love
I’ve been busy in the kitchen this week and I have two new recipes to share that I hope you’ll love as much as we do. These are two of my favorite recipes ever- and luckily for me, they’re also two of the easiest. :)
Mighty Meaty Nachos with Homemade Tortilla Chips
Homemade tortilla chips = Yum. Yum yum yum yum yum. Homemade tortilla chips that are this delicious need a dip that is equally extraordinary – something that can step up to the plate and match the taste “WOW factor” – bite for bite. That’s where Mighty Meaty Nachos come in…
Mac & Cheese
I am *in love* with this simple, no-frills mac and cheese. :) My granny used to make this all the time- she knew it was my favorite and always had it ready whenever I came to visit. :) It’s a delicious quick-and-easy side dish- no fancy or unnecessary ingredients, just pure, unadulterated mac and cheese. :D It’s definitely one of my go-to meals- I almost always have all the ingredients on hand- and the baking time / temp isn’t too picky so I can usually just pop it in the oven with whatever my main dish is. :)
Check them out on my recipe blog, and let me know what you think! ;)
Thanks for looking! :)

A little photography to share . . .
Remember over the summer when I ran into Niki and her daughter Amerie at the beach? Well, over Christmas break, we were both back home and I met up with her again– this time she had her hubby with her! ;) I had a really fun time taking pics of this sweet (not to mention beautiful!!!) family. I thought I’d share some of my favorite pics– and get your feedback! :)
Thanks for looking! :D

2 New Themes & How to make your own!
Happy 2009! Since it’s officially a new year, I guess it’s time to update my blog theme to a new, wintry design! :) If you’re viewing this from your feed reader or email, be sure and click here so you can see the new theme. :)
This theme was made from several different kits- all from awesome digital designers who use the Pea Fonts in their digital scrapbooking kits!! :)
The red & brown striped scalloped paper is from the Joy Mini Kit by the Golden Girls — I used a hue/saturation layer in Photoshop to change the colors to match my theme. :)
The *awesome* stitches are from Snow Day by Megan Turnidge (I love these stitches!!)
The distressed edge/photo overlays are from Danielle’s Worn Photo Overlays 2
All the other miscellaneous items (like the snowflakes, buttons, glitter, etc) can be found in one of the aforementioned kits. :)
To make everything match, I had to change the colors on a couple elements. Here’s a pretty useful video tutorial I found on how to change the color of a digital scrapbook element (click on the POD graphic by the blog title to watch). :)
I also updated the Recipe Blog theme! I love the new theme– much easier to read and has some cool new features. Be sure and check out the Top 5 Recipes located in the sidebar to the right! :)
I stumbled up this cool page the other day – SJH Blog Design – Step by Step Tutorials for Customizing Your Blogger/Blogspot Blog. I thought I’d pass this along for those who have been asking how it’s done! :) This site is a good resource. :)
Hope you like all the new updates! Let me know what you think! :D
