Their wedding colors are pink and brown so I used chocolate chip and melon mambo on a vanilla base. ♥ I would like to send out a special thank you to Diane Scuito for the 5/8" chocolate chip ribbon she gifted me for wedding projects. ♥
My favorite part was deciding where and how many butterflies to put on each one. I love this embosslit. :)
Other than stamping, kids, sports, therapy, scheduling.....well you get the idea. LOL I have 72 pints of salsa canned. I'm hoping to get at least 100 pints done this year so I'm getting there.
A couple of you asked for my salsa recipe so I thought I would share it here:
9 cups chopped tomatoes
3 cups chopped onions
2 cups green peppers
8 small jalapeno peppers (med. salsa)
1/4 cup canning salt
1 cup celery
1 cup vinegar
12 oz can tomato paste
1 HEAPING TBSP minced garlic
2 TBSP cilantro
Optional: 2 cups whole kernel corn
Yield: 10-12 pints
Here's a picture of my little guy, Evan . I often push him in the stroller when I go walking. Evidently mom isn't very entertaining. :)
BUT Mom is down -89# from the first of January and is enjoying chasing a VERY active 3 year old a lot more now. Weight loss has slowed down--I have been spending more time canning and less time walking. I need to get Evan in that stroller and go.....
