Wonton Ravioli



'Tis the season for colder weather and comfy
nights in, which means, home cooked meals.
This is about the time of year when
we dust of our cooking skills and 
and search for hearty (and easy)) recipes.

One of our favorites we stumbled upon was 
this delicious (and super easy) Spinach Wonton Ravioli
recipe.  Not only is it easy, but it's healthy too!

You will need:

1 bag of spinach
1 package of wontons
1 egg
16 oz of part skim ricotta cheese
lemon juice
salt and pepper to tase
water



in a medium size mixing bowl, combine your egg, lemon juice, spinach and
ricotta cheese. Add salt and pepper gradually to taste.



Next, take a wonton square and lay it out on the counter.
Add a fork-full of your spinach ricotta mix in the middle.


Take your water, dip the tip of your finger in the water,
and trace the edges of the wonton wrapper. Take another plain
square and repeat this water step along the edges.



Take your two wrappers and stick them together (water edges together)
and gently press the edges together to seal.

Place each ravioli is a boiling sauce pan of water for
about 2-3 minutes each.




Pour your favorite sauce over and enjoy!





You can use any sort of filling for these ravioli.
Be creative with it! We also tried a seafood version with
imitation crab mixed in. Delicious!


Happy Cooking!

Tunesday; Glow





When it comes to Christmas Music, when generally
like to stick to the classics. Some of the "modern" versions
of songs, just don't have that same appeal as the melodies if
 Bing Crosby or Nat King Cole. There is just something so
nostalgic about them.

We were thrilled when one of our favorite Country artists,
Brett Eldredge, announced he was coming out with 
a Christmas album, and even more thrilled when
we listened to it for the first time and heard the resounding
resemblance to Frank Sinatra. 
It was music to our ears! And as if that wasn't enough,
his new original song, Glow has us feeling
all the Holiday feels!

holi-DIY emoji ornaments





It's no surprise that Christmas is one of our
favorite times of the year. 
This year, we wanted to spice up our decor
game, so we came up with this FUN and
(semi) easy Emoji ornament DIY project!
Why not mix our favorite holiday with
our favorite faces.

You will need:

Clear Ornaments
Yellow Spray Paint 
small painbrushes
various paint color (for emoji faces)
ornament hooks
pencil (if needed for outlining)
Protective Sealant Spray

OR, if you are really lucky, you can
find Plain Yellow Ornaments. Our local stores
unfortunately were fresh out, so we went this route!


To make:

Spray pain your clear ornaments with the yellow
spray paint. Allow them to dry for amount of time
specified on the can. If needed, give the ornaments a second
coat before you begin to paint your faces.
Once the spray paint is dry, pull up images of your
favorite emojis. Depending on your skill level,
trace the emoji face onto your ornament. OR, if this
is not necessary, start painting the faces onto the ornament.
When you are satisfied with your emoji face, 
seal the deal with your protective spray to avoid
any chipping!

Happy HOLI-DIY!
