Saturday

So today is Saturday and I spent most of the day organizing, cleaning, cooking, making jewelry and watching movies. Great day. Here's what I made for dinner;

Mexican Casserole

1. Chop up half a red and green bell pepper and a quarter of an onion, saute in oil and garlic until tender.

2. Brown ground turkey until cooked thoroughly. Add taco seasoning and half a jar of salsa and simmer 20 minutes. Add sauteed peppers and onions, half can of chilli beans, half can of black beans and 3/4 can of yellow corn. Heat thoroughly. (The left over beans and corn can be put into the fridge and heated up later for a quick meal on the go, or grab a tortilla and you have instant lunch!)

3. Spray a casserole pan with non stick spray. Crush a layer of tortilla chips in the bottom of the pan.

4. Add the meat/bean mixture on top of the layer of chips.

5. Cover the mixture with a layer of sour cream

6. Sprinkle with diced tomato, chopped green onion, diced olives, and cheddar cheese.

7. Cover and cook for 30 minutes at 350 degrees



As far as the jewelry goes, I made some turquoise earrings and bracelets. Here are some inspiration jewelry pics I have in my library;
