Hopefully back...

Well here I am! finally back online. We have had 2 week with no internet - that was fun - and my life has been chaotic at best. Although I have managed to get my design team responsiblities fulfilled, I have NOT been a good blogger! But I'm back.

Today's card - which was supposed to be posted yesterday - is Paper Playtime's Challenge for the next 2 weeks. The challenge is to use your country's colors (in my case Red and White) and a digi on a card:



The digi is from Praire Fairy and the paper is SU and CTMH.

Tomorrow I will be back with my Cricut Cardz Challenge post, and some info about a Canada Day blog hop I am taking part in. Happy to be back :)


A la prochaine...

Red, white and blue

I am loving all of the Fourth of July projects people are posting this week! This is my take on red, white and blue.

Do you remember these Rocket Popsicles? They were my favourite from the Dickie Dee ice cream cart.



To make my popsicle, I used the popsicle cut from Just Because cards and welded a rounded rectangle on the top. I cut this three times to make the three colours. Once I glued them together, I embossed the grooves. I then smothered it with Glossy Accents. The stick is a real popsicle stick, I had to pop dot it so it would be flat on top of the stick.

I am entering this card at :

Test Kitch ~ Mini Quiche

First of all these are totally yummy!  You have to try them.

Secondly, I suck at spelling.  Really.  Why do I keep picking recipes that I can't spell?

Keeesh.  No?

Mini Q's then.

I started with a few basic ingredients and created two different options.

Onion, eggs, milk, cheese, sausage, mushrooms, spinach and tart shells.

Here's the Cheesy Spinach version:

{makes 30 Mini Q's}

5 Tbsp frozen spinach {defrosted}

1/2 cup of cheddar cheese {shredded}

1/4 of a medium onion, diced{sauted}

6 eggs

1/4 cup of milk

Pinch of salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Bake tart shells for 10 minutes.  Remove shells from oven and fill with egg mixture.  Bake again for 25-30 minutes.

Mix together onion, spinach and cheese.

Meanwhile bake empty tart shells.

Add eggs, milk, salt and pepper. 

Whisk vigorously.

Fill tarts right to the top with egg mixture and bake.

Yummers!

And now for the Sausage Mushroom version:

 {makes 30 Mini Q's}

1/4 medium onion, diced {sauted}

6 mushrooms, diced {sauted}

1 sausage, cooked and broken into pieces

6 eggs

1/4 cup milk

Pinch of salt and pepper.

Bake empty tart shells at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.  Remove from the oven and fill with egg mixture.  Bake for 25-30 minutes.

Saute onion, mushrooms and sausage.  Allow to cool.  Bake empty tart shells.

Add egg, milk, salt and pepper to the sauted mixture and whisk well.

Fill tart shells with the egg mixture and bake.

Honestly, I don't know which one I like better.

Isaiah, eating just the edge of the tart shell around the egg.  He's not particular.  LOL

Enjoy!
