Five Fact Friday

I thought this would be a great idea for my readers and future readers to get to know me a little better each week. So here it goes:

1) This is one of my most favorite pictures of myself.
2) I ate everything with a fork up until a couple of years ago.
3) I can't stand owls. They freak me out and they are truely the creature of the underworld.
4) If you can't find me, I'm probably in a bookstore.
5) I would pay someone just to clean and fold my laundry every week.

I believe in pink

I have pink on my mind recently. I'm not sure why but I like it! Its so inspiring that this one color can fit into everyday life such as: home goods, clothing, and of course beauty.

So here is a little something to add a dash of pink to your life today. Hope it makes you smile.

Excited about my new camera

I couldn't wait any longer. I had to buy the Canon Rebel after my friend let me borrow hers. I bought it a few days ago and been practicing using it. Among the many pictures I took to test out the features, here is a photo oh my daughter that I just had to share.

I had the camera on a setting where I can take photos of moving objects, and depending on the f-stop and some other things, the picture would be still or appear slightly in motion. I told her to run around and got a chance to capture this beautiful photo of her.

Chicken and spinach stuffed pasta shells

Yumm! I had these amazing chicken and spinach stuffed pasta shells a few days ago and I needed to share this recipe. I originally got it from Haute Apple Pie, but I just changed the recipe a tad. They were easy to make and quick! This is what you need:

1 box of pasta shells

2 C ricotta cheese

2 chicken breasts

1 1/2 cup of frozen spinach - thawed

2 C shredded mozzarella

1 C grated parmesan
2 cans of tomato sauce

salt

paper

Preheat oven to 375.

Bring a pot of water to a boil and put in the pasta shells with some salt. Cook until the pasta is al dente. Drain and set aside.

Cut the chicken breasts into bite size cubes and cook over meduim heat in frying pan with just a little oil to coat the bottom of the pan. When cooked, add the spinach, just enough to heat up. Dump into a large mixing bowl.

Combine the ricotta cheese, mozzarella, parmasan with the chicken and spinach. Mix ingredients until well combined. Set aside.

In another bowl pour both cans of tomato sauce and season with salt and pepper.

Begin to spoon the chicken, spinach and cheese mixure into the shells and place in a baking dish. I used a tablespoon from my measuring spoons to get the right amount each time.

After your done filling all the shells and placing them into the baking dish, spoon the tomato sauce over the shells generously.

Finally add mozzarella cheese on top of the pasta shells, lightly. Bake for about 20 minutes and enjoy!

Heaven has arrived on my doorstep

Guess what has arrived on my doorstep today? My order for French Paper!

If you don't already know, I print on paper from French Paper company always! You can't beat the quality. So the moment I saw it, I cut it open with the nearest object I had that could do the job.

I opened it furiously with my car keys to see what I had been waiting 5 days for. And I'm happy to see that they also included samples for their other paper products.

So luckily this came in time, I can get back to creating more things. Hurray!
