Fried Rice


I found this recipe on Pinterest and it comes from here. I have only tried to make fried rice one other time and I don't really remember how it turned out. This one was pretty good and it got a good review from the hubs. Lily put hers in her ketchup for her chicken nuggets, but that doesn't mean much coming from a two year old. 

I made my white rice earlier in the day since I had heard that it's better to start with cold rice. 

 All the ingredients lined up.


The finished product. 

Directions:                                                                                         

3 cups cooked white rice
3 tbs sesame oil
1 cup frozen peas and carrots (thawed) (I just used Peas)
1 small onion, chopped
2 tsp minced garlic
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/4 cup soy sauce


      On medium high heat, heat the oil in a large skillet.  Add the peas/carrots mix, onion and garlic. Stir fry until tender. Lower the heat to medium low and push the mixture off to one side, then pour your eggs on the other side of skillet and stir fry until scrambled. Now add the rice and soy sauce and blend all together well. Stir fry until thoroughly heated!

DIY Christmas Wreath


I recently made my own ribbon wreath with inspiration from Pinterest. 
I started with a standard size styrofoam  wreath and red and green ribbon. All from Hobby Lobby. 


I got my strips about 16 inches long. I really can't tell you how many I used. I just cut a few of each color to start and cut as I went. 


Next I just started tying them off in a pattern that I liked. Basically red, green, red, green until I had covered the whole thing. 




This is the final project hanging on the picture above the mantle. I think it turned out great and you could easily make one for any occasion.

New Beginning?

So If anyone still follows this or checks it. Ha! I have been inspired by all the other awesome blogs I follow on a daily basis to give blogging a shot. I want this blog to be more than just pictures of the babies, although they are adorable. I hope to post about recipes, crafts, babies, fashion, and just anything else this is happening in my life. I can't promise I will post regularly until I get the hang of it. But we will see.

I really do look forward to giving this a try, I am definitely not a writer so we will see how this goes! So with that I will leave you with a picture of my beautiful babies!
