Under Construction!!!

 Just a heads up the SU website will be under construction and not available today, April 15th. It says it could be down for 6 hrs. but I'm gonna say .... I'm hoping by Wednesday. In the world of technology, I always allow a little extra time, or I should say in my technology world (It only took me 3 days last week to get my printer up and running *lol*)

Happy Monday !!!

 We interrupt our crafting to take a few days for family!!  Saturday, I took 3 of the littles to see a local theater group put on the play "Mary Poppins".  It was without a doubt absolutely amazing!! Mary Poppins is a huge hit in our book!!! 

On Sunday, our Easter Bunny came early.  I learned early on when you have all boys, the girl's family comes first.  So, we celebrate our holiday's a little bit earlier - because what matters to me is being all together and my kids & grandkids don't have to miss out spending time with the other families.

So much fun, so much laughter, so much food!!  

And now it's time to get back to reality!!  Have a great week!!

Recipe Wednesday - Idaho-Style Finger Steaks

I was looking back for recipe to post and came across this recipe.  These are the absolutely the bomb!!!

Probably not the healthiest but sometimes a girls gotta do what a girl's gotta do!! 

Idaho-Style Finger Steaks

                 

•  1 egg
•  2 cups buttermilk
•  2 tablespoons grill seasoning, such as McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning
•  1/2 cup all-purpose flour
•                               1 1/2 pounds boneless beef sirloin steak, cut into 2 1/2 x 1/4-inch strips                         
  2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
•  2 teaspoons garlic powder
•  salt and pepper to taste
•                     3 cups canola oil for deep frying                   

         Directions            

1. Beat together the egg, buttermilk, grill seasoning, and 1/2 cup of flour in a large bowl until smooth. Add the beef, and toss until well coated. Cover with plastic wrap, and place into the refrigerator to marinate at least 2 hours.
2. Sift 2 1/2 cups flour with the garlic powder, salt, and pepper into a large bowl. Remove steak strips from buttermilk batter and allow excess to drip off. Dredge each piece with seasoned flour and place onto a baking sheet. Place in the freezer and freeze until firm, 1 hour to overnight.
3. Heat oil to 370 degrees F (185 degrees C) in a deep fryer or cast iron skillet.
4. Drop a few frozen steak pieces into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on the outside, about 5 minutes. Do not overcrowd the frying oil, and do not allow the steak strips to thaw before they are fried. Once golden brown, remove to drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Men Birthday Cards / Thank You Cards

 

Hey guys, I'm working on a couple card orders I have going out the next few weeks. I was looking for some fishing dsp & Stampin Up only had the one I already had used so I went out of the box & found these 8 1/2 x 8 1/2 scrapbook page books. They are totally awesome. I not only got fishing, I got the hunting one as well.  I can't wait to make cards with them all & share with you.
