Strawberry Butter

1 cup of very soft butter
2/3 powdered sugar
6 small strawberries diced 

Mix all ingredients together. Add to blender and mix on slow setting until well blended. 

Caution: Do not over blend, your strawberries will become mush if you do and your butter will be liquid.

Meatloaf Muffins

Cupcakes in the form of meatloaf, frosting in the form of mashed potatoes, and sprinkles in the form of cheese!

I made these for dinner and thought I'd share the recipe... Enjoy!

·         Recipe for: Meatloaf Muffins

·         Ingredients

2 lbs ground turkey
2 eggs
½ Medium Green Pepper – diced
½ Cup Red Onion – diced
1 tbsp minced garlic
1-1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 tsp salt
½ tsp pepper

·         Instructions

Preheat oven to 350.
I use muffin pans and make meatloaf muffins! Make sure you spray the tins with some non-stick cooking spray and your meatloaf muffins will slip out nicely after cooking. Turkey is not as fatty as Ground Beef so make sure you do this so they won’t stick! Makes 16 meatloaf muffins.

Combine all ingredients into a large bowl and mix well. After spraying your muffin tray with non-stick cooking spray, fill each muffin compartment  all of the way full.
Place into oven for approximately 35 minutes.

Updates

Hello everyone. Wow it's been a while since I have blogged. So I am updating everyone on the happening in my life. Well we got orders so we are moving to Jacksonville, FL. Good bye Guam! I am very excited to start this new chapter and cant wait to start exploring FL. We will be about a two hour drive away from Orlando. I am already planning my trips to Disney World and Universal Studios (The Wizarding World of Harry Potter). We will be vacationing in Vegas before we head to Jacksonville. After our vacation we will be driving to Florida with our two dogs. Excited but nervous at the same time! Our only real plan for our drive is to stop in Atlanta to see one of my besties, Laura. Chris is in A-School right now, studying to be a Maritime Enforcement Specialist. (Maritime Enforcement Specialists are a cadre of professionals well grounded in knowledge and skills pertaining to law enforcement and security duties. As such, members of this rating can be expected to be assigned challenging duties including traditional maritime law enforcement, anti-terrorism force protection, port security and safety, as well as providing unit-level training in these fields.) He is set to graduate July 2nd. So proud of him. He left me at home to hold down the fort and get everything ready for our move.


Sarge and Elle are doing good. Elle is still a puppy and I am still having issues potty training, plus she chews up everything. I don't think I've ever kept all my stuff put away so well before. Sarge still has only child syndrome. He is still food and toy aggressive. I have pretty much solved the food issue by feeding them separately in their kennels. But teaching Sarge to share his toys has been very challenging. They do play well together (minus toys). And I often find them cuddling. Elle loves her big brother and copies him a lot. Love them to death. They are my children and yes I treat them that way.

I am currently not working and have packed away all my scrapbooking stuff. I wish I could have kept my job a little while longer so I could have stashed away some more cash but well life happens. I am for sure missing teaching. I have been in contact with a studio in Jacksonville and hopefully can get a job there when I move.

Well I suppose that's all for now. Hopefully I haven't forgotten anything. Until next time!

Show Me Your Craft Room!

I was inspired by itsmesusanp's blog hop "Show Me Your Craft Room." So here is my video showing my craft room. Sorry I don't take very good videos.

I'm going to Vegas!

 

My bags are packed and I'm ready to go! I work until Thursday so I can't leave until Friday :( I am going to Mac flight it home. Hopefully I can get a flight soon and not have to wait a million days. Laura is going to watch Sarge. I love her!!!! Send me your good vibes so I get off this island fast!

Our 1st Anniversary

We had a really nice anniversary. We lounged around and cuddled most of the day. After I gave Chris his present (an iPad over) Chris took me shopping to get some new clothes for my present. Then we went to dinner at the Sea Grill. It was super yummy. We got fried poki (which is just fried tuna) as an appetizer. I got the sea food linguine and Chris got garlic marinara prawns (giant shrimp). It was so good. And they gave us a free desert for it being our anniversary. Then we went and got massages. Wonderful! Then we went to the movies to see Super 8. Good movie. I definitely recommend it! It was a great day. The only thing missing was the top of our Wedding Cake. (We couldn't bring it to Guam :( ) Here is a picture of us at dinner.

Birthday Challenge

Pink stamper has challenged us to make something birthday themed. Here is the card I created. I made two different versions of it.

I absolutely love the way these cards turned out! My new favorite Birthday design!
