"Meaty" Steel Cut Oats

A beautiful mistake! I thought I was making some Bulgar wheat but accidentally grabbed the steel cut oats, not even noticing the difference I proceeded with the recipe. It wasn't til it was completely done that I noticed it was the oats! Silly me, that's what happens when you try to do to many things at once :)

Ingredients:

1 cup Steel Cut Oats
1 cup Beef Broth (or any broth you like)

Directions:

Heat the broth to a boil, once it is boiling pour it over the steel cut oats, stir to combine. Cover the oats and let sit for 30 or more minutes (until the liquid is soaked up, it helps to use a glass bowl so you can see without removing the lid). I let mine sit for a hour. Remove lid, fluff with a fork and enjoy! It's that simple!! You can add chicken, herbs, beans, vegetables, even adding some into ground meat to make burgers, so many possibilities!

Kanban Crafts - Rooster

2011-09-13T09:03:00.001-04:00

I was asked to do this one for someone and so I figured I would share it with you. I just love this guy!

This was made from the wonderful Kanban Crafts Wobbler Cards - "Chuck".
For the sentiment I used My Creative Time "Color Me Happy" with Stampin Up Craft Black Ink.

On another note - I do want to ask everyone for a favor, my husband witnessed a bicyclist get hit by a car this morning on the way to work, so if you could all pray that he will be alright that would be greatly appreciated the last we knew he was talking but not doing well.

Hugs & Happy Crafting!

VINYL : Lets compare prices!

2011-04-29T13:33:00.001-04:00

So I have been wanting to do some vinyl projects for a LONG time! But as always I want the best price I can find, so I have been researching and comparing prices and quality.

When it came down to it there were only 2 places that I think offer the best vinyl at a great price. But one is much more superior in price than the other and I do order most of my vinyl from the, lets compare prices :-)

www.Signwarehouse.com

Oracal 631 Exhabition Vinyl     (Cricut vinyl)
--- 24" x 10 Yd. Roll is   $22.90/Roll    (with shipping it ends up around $36.00)
* When you cut this to 24"x12" you get 30 pieces!

--------------------------------------------------------

www.Expressionsvinyl.com

Cricut Vinyl     (Oracal 631)
-- 24" x 12" Piece is   $1.89/EA.
* When you times that by 30 pieces it is $56.70 (with shipping its around $70.00)

So clearly whenever possible I buy from Signwarehouse.com, they are normally more than half the price of Expressionsvinyl.com!

Have a wonderful weekend!!!
