Barbie Bites The Dust!

Happy Monday to you!  Did you have a nice weekend?  We did - but whoa, what a storm we had Sunday late afternoon! Lots of flooding in our area. Our pool was actually overflowing!

On Saturday, I colored up one of my new Stamping Bella images - but that's not what I'm showing you today.....can you believe I'm giving you another food posting?

I am SO HAPPY to have found Iowa Girl Eats blog. And, although she's a carnivore, she posts some great vegetarian recipes too!  I made her Greek Dip Platter:

(Forgive the picture! I had already dug into the dip and didn't really do a great job centering it!)  But....YUMMY!!!!!!!!!

Then..........I made this watermelon shark!

LOL!!  This guy made me giggle every time I looked at him.  Notice the Swedish fish?

Then, things took a turn for the worse.  Barbie was swimming in shark infested waters:

He got her by the legs, but she fought her way out............but..........

He got her again.  Barbie had no chance.  Can we have a moment of silence?


Hope this didn't ruin your Monday!  :)

Thanks for your visit!

Not a Card!!!!!!

Happy Wednesday to you!!!!!!!!  Yesterday was a BUSY day!!!!!!  Started at 5:50am to get ready for the gym. Hubby left for work and noticed that a tree had fallen across our street and none of the neighbor's would be able to get out. I called the police dept so they could call the City tree crew to remove it and then texted a few of the neighbor's to give them a head's up. That was all at 6:10 AM!!!!

Went to bootcamp, went to CT Humane to walk dogs, came home, showered, went to lunch w/ hubby and our accountant, went grocery shopping, went home, got Nolie and brought her to the vet, got warning that one of my brand new tires was low on air, went to tire store and waited an hour for them to fix the hole that a nail made, got gas b/c I was running on fumes and finally went home for the FINAL time to make: BLACK BEAN BURGERS!!!!!!!

If you made it through all that.........now you can hear about my black bean burgers!!!!  I came across Iowa Girl Eats blog this week and YUM!!!!!! She's got some GREAT recipes on her blog.  AND......she takes step by step pictures for non-cooks like myself.  The BBB's sounded so yummy (I don't eat meat) so I decided to make them. (I'm the type of person that bookmarks and prints out a TON of recipes and never makes them - so I'm trying to change that!!)

Now warning......I'm not a food blogger!!  And....I took these pictures with my iPhone!  But......here's how they were coming together:

Pre-griddle

Cooking!!

Added some pepper jack cheese

And...........THE FINISHED PRODUCT!!!

And.........look at her finished product!!  Pretty close right?

(Picture above from Iowa Girl Eats)

Cindy, Jill and Frank all said they liked them, although I'm sure Frank wanted to kill me. WAY to many nutritional things in one dinner seating!!! We had these with tomato salad, grilled peppers and corn on the cob.  (I even snuck in flax seed into the burgers!!)

And if THAT wasn't enough........I made a version of these overnight oat's for breakfast from Oh My Veggies:

(Picture above from Oh My Veggies)

I used raspberries instead of mango's and I didn't have coconut (which probably wouldn't be good with the raspberries anyway).  I'll let you know what I think of them tomorrow!!

Hopefully I can take some pictures of the FOUR cards sitting on my desk and get them blogged!

Do you have any really great food blogs that you follow?  Here's another one that I do:  Oh She Glows
