Fashion Failures and Food Flings

Man, look at all that alliteration! I don't have a weekly fashion roundup this week, because, well, I looked like I lived under a bridge all week. I will never understand why 4 day weeks feel about 9 years long. I don't think I cooked a single night last week either, because sometimes I'm garbage. That being said, this weekend I decided that my house, especially my kitchen, desperately needed my attention.

Wayne and I were gifted a gorgeous piano recently, and the wall behind it has needed some attention for quite a while. You would think someone who creates artwork on the side would have plenty of wall decor, but when I create, I'm like a squirrel on crack and nothing goes together. In August and so far this month I have made a conscious effort to create artwork that "matches". Today while I was decorating for fall I decided to hang some of that matching artwork together and see what happened. Luckily, I was not disappointed. All of the artwork on the wall are available as prints of anyone would like one of these in their home!

While I was cleaning and decorating today, I took a break to put a culinary experiment in the crock pot. I put 1 lb of smoked turkey sausage, two bell peppers, a red onion, a can of marinara sauce, and a spoonful of garlic into the crock pot and turned it on low for 6 ish hours. I put some cheese on sub buns and popped those under a low broiler for 3 minutes, and spooned my crock pot concoction on top. It. Was. Amazing. I plan on putting the leftovers over rice tomorrow for my lunch. Here's what it looked like. I'm not professional food photographer so it probably looks like dog food on a bun to you all but I promise it's good.

I hope you all have a wonderful week! And remember, if you look like a bridge troll and eat Dairy Queen for five days straight, it's okay, it's all about balance! 😊
