New Top for your grilled Tuna

We eat a lot of grilled fish, meat, chicken.  Can get BORING. I try to jazz it up with new toppers for the grilled entrees.
Last night I added this coleslaw-tomato combo and it was really delicious.
I will share the recipe here, but don't be mad I'm bad at amounts of ingredients. Maybe a true chef could help me with that.
ENJOY!
Grilled Tuna ( can use steak or chicken or any fish you like)
Bag of coleslaw which is shredded cabbage and carrots, in the bag I purchased, anyway
I discovered these cherry YELLOW tomatoes that taste sweet and yummy.Sunburst tomatoes
I added some grape seed oil to a fry pan and then added the coleslaw and tomatoes
I added pepper and some onion powder. Toss it around under low heat and I added some apple cider vinegar
That's it.
Top it on your grilled meat or fish.
Yum!

XO - You can do it too

Simplest Valentine DIY decor. It really can be done on many different letters and numbers. The XO is cute for an engagement or wedding decor idea. My daughter and son in law will be married a year soon but I still love thinking and working with wedding and shower stuff.
So here I bought hard cardboard letters at Hobby Lobby. There are a few sizes and also numbers and symbols to choose from. Of course if you want the letters to stand up very sturdy, you can use letters made of wood.
I also bought the moss,with a sticky glue backing. Hobby Lobby too.
I then cut the sheet of moss to wrap around the letters. Doesn't have to be perfect, and cut the moss before you remove the backing.  Very sticky. The moss is messy so put down a sheet or be prepared to vacuum after the project is complete.
That's it. As you cover the letters the moss blends together.
As I said you can place them on a shelf, or a centerpiece with flowers or candles, you could wrap twinkly lights and set the letters in greenery , so many options.
I decided to tie them to the wreath I love on my front door and then I added a simple red ribbon for Valentine's Day.

Fudge-Get in my belly

Ok, so it's January and everyone is eating healthy and exercising.  Blah, blah. Just kidding. I do post great healthy recipes but this one is just Yummy and a crowd pleaser.
I made it a few times over the holidays and it was a hit. I follow Siri Daley, who does segments on the Today Show. She is has a fun IG that always highlights easy and great recipes. Some really healthy and some fun. I like a balance of the two. I think she is coming out with a cookbook soon. Be sure to check her out. She also has a web address, Siriouslydelicious
Here is the fudge recipe
Cookies n cream fudge
Makes 24-48 pieces depending on how you cut the pieces. I like them bite size
1 bag white chocolate chips 11-12 oz
1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 oz
25 Oreo cookies
Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper. I can't live without this stuff, seriously. @Reynolds
Place cookies in a big plastic bag and crush them into chunky pieces. I used a rolling pin, a bottle of wine works, and then drink it, lol
In a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt white chocolate chips and milk together, keep stirring.
Add crushed cookies and stir more. Immediately pour into prepared pan and smooth top with a spatula.
Refrigerate until it is firm. Can store up to a week in Tupperware. Enjoy xo

Big Al's shadow box DIY

So at Christmas time I always try to think of a memory keepsake type present. So since my youngest son had finished his freshman year of college football, I said to my husband, it would be nice to come up with something that is a keepsake for that.  His wheels started turning and he went into the garage.
He took old license plates and put together this shadow box, with his jersey number, along with a photo of Ean on the field.
We couldn't leave the other kids out, so he made one for my older son, who had played football at the same college that Ean is currently attending.
He made one for Alexis and Ed, who were married this past February. That shadow box included a picture from the wedding, and the wedding date was in old license plate numbers and letters.
He also made each of them a keychain with their initial from a license plate letter.
So thoughtful and a great keepsake. Easy to replicate if you have old license plates.
