Smooth Criminal


So, my 2 1/2 year old has done it again. He has been pretty good at not smearing make-up/yogurt/poop... all over the place on a regular basis, so when I caught him doing this to our baby, I had to grab the camera! (See HERE for his last mascara fun day.)

This little guy is so fast, I had to keep putting him across the room, and by the time I lifted my finger from the picture taking button, he was already on the lens. Not to mention my older one kept trying to steal the spotlight! It is amazing I got pictures as clear as these. Doesn't his big brother look so proud of his artwork!?

Also, I have to share this yummy recipe I got from a friend. It is so easy and delish. This is just awful, but I was going to include a cute chicken Etsy find, but then I got so sad about the poor little chickens, so I am including a YUMMY looking vegan chicken dish from pitseel (yes, she sales them, check out her shop), and this cute little pendant from julep115. Horror images from a secret taped of the "killing machine" that undercover PETA member did a while back at a Tyson factory has seeped into my mind. But I will not share THAT video, (though it would be the responsible thing to do!) Feel free to google it...


Chicken Azteca:

Turn on crock pot to a medium setting.
Dump a can of black beans, can of corn, 1 cup of salsa in a crock pot.
Put a bunch of cut of (about 1 1/2 - 2 inch size pieces) raw chicken on top.
Pour another 1/2 cup of salsa on top.
No need to stir, then cover.

Let sit for a couple of hours. Once the chicken is cooked through, take a small box of cream cheese (the fake low fat stuff works perfectly), cut it into cubes, and stir it into the crock pot. Once it melts (fairly quickly) your food is done.

Serve over rice, sprinkle with cheese... this is so good.

Also, I have to showcase some Twilight jewelry... but it isn't mine for once! Look at this lovely bracelet from More Everything, isn't it to "die for" (pun intended, vampire lovers)!! It says "I run with Vampires (or you can choose werewolves instead). But what is great, is for non Twilight peeps, she can also do a custom saying for you as well.

Resin Tutorial


I Sew Cute has made a wonderful resin tutorial. This would be great if you needed to make a large set of resin pendants for a youth group or team (we would have loved these as cheerleaders!) I am including this tutorial for my own selfish purposes of keeping it safely bookmarked, as well as to share it with you. Check out ISewCute's shop as well as a thank you for her little gift!

Twilight & New Moon Inspired Vampire and Wolf Lover Jewelry


Amazingly, I have my new Twilight Inspired Jewelry shop {mostly} set up... and it took only 2 days to do it! It's exclusively "jewelry for your inner vamp". I will be retiring my Twilight Inspired line once my supplies are gone, so moving it to it's own little place was the best so I can focus more on my vintage inspired jewelry shop. Jeweled Ambrosia is heading into a new direction and I'm so excited! Scroll down the page to see some of the jewelry.
