New Recipe -- My own personal creation

Krysie's Italian Sausage w/bowtie pasta & veggies

1 lb. Italian Sausage (preferably ground -- if not you will have to remove from the links)

1 package Farfalle or Bowtie Pasta (I use brown rice pasta)

1 red onion

2 green bell peppers (I like it colorful so I will use green, red and orange or yellow. Makes it pretty!)

1 15 oz. can of tomato sauce (my personal preference is Muir Glen Organic)

Cook pasta as directed on box. I usually boil for 13-15 minutes with sea salt. Drain.

Brown the ground Italian Sausage. Drain.

Cut up vegetables. I prefer slightly bigger chunks, but cut how you like them. They are in there for flavor and texture and veggies are good for you! At least my mom always said so.

In large skillet combine all ingredients with the tomato sauce. Add sauce in slow because you don't want to drench it in sauce. You just want it for flavor. When I make spaghetti I load it up with sauce, but not this recipe. Cook on Med heat covered for 10-15 minutes.

Let cool for a couple minutes, sprinkle with parmesan cheese (if you like it) then Enjoy! :)

Picture doesn't really do it justice...but you can see the finished product.

Fan Pulls

While we were in Nashville this last time, I was at this store and saw these cool looking fan pulls. Once again, thought to myself ... "I can make those!" So I have started making them. I only have a few completed at this time. More colors/styles coming soon. I will be selling these. Depending on what you may want done, colors and style the price will vary. Anywhere between $15.00 - $25.00.

Brown Bag Apple Pie

This pie is in one word - AMAZING! It's SO good. It pairs wonderfully with Vanilla Bean ice cream. :) 

Preheat oven to 425 degrees

Brown Bag Apple Pie 

Filling:

2.5 lbs of Granny Smith Apples

1/2 cup sugar

2 tbs. of Flour

1/2 tsp. Cinnamon *I add 1 tbs. (I LOVE Cinnamon) 

2 tbs. Lemon Juice 

Core, peel and slice apples. In big bowl, mix all above ingredients together. Should coat the apples all over. Put in deep dish pie shell. (In freezer section at the grocery store by the whip cream.) 

Topping:

1 cup sugar

1 cup flour

1 cup butter 

Cut all together. If you have a food processor that's the best way, or you will have to get the hand cutter thingy. :) Form an outer shell on top with topping ingredients. Place pie in brown paper bag and secure with paper clips. Place on cookie sheet. Bake at 425 degrees for 1 hour. 

When removing from oven don't touch the paper clips with your hands. Ouch! Also, it make steam or smell a little funny while cooking. This is the brown paper sack. Make sure when you place in oven, it's not touching any burners, or hot spots...etc. 

Allow pie to cool for a few minutes. Cut yourself some pie, put in a bowl, top with Vanilla Bean Ice cream and ENJOY! :) 

Try it and let me know if you like it!

**By the picture it doesn't look like anything really special...but it's the INSIDE that's the best! :) 

Fender Guitar Pick Earrings...

I got started making these when a couple Christmas' ago my sister in law gave me a pair that she bought at a shop in Nashville. I looked at them and thought ... "I can make that!" So started making them and some people love them. I really enjoy wearing them to concerts with my vintage Rocker Tee! *devil horns up* (That's the Rock hands for those who didn't get that.) :) 

Right now they are only available in three colors; white, purple and black. More colors coming soon.

Welcome...

Welcome to my blog. Here I will post recipes I find and try, some I make up on my own and dishes I create from my Mother-in-law's recipes. I will post pictures of them as well. I will also post all my crafty things I make. I like to scrapbook, make jewelry and fan pulls. I am sure I will find something else I will enjoy doing and you can find it all here. 

Feel free to check back often for updates. 

Thanks!
