A Little Dash of......

Hello friends,

I bought a Dash last week from Amazon.

My daughter had purchased one previously when we did a chicken and waffles charcuterie board.  I wasn't impressed.  Then I saw a bunch of recipes on TikTok and thought it might be worth the $9.99.  

I have to tell you, I am totally addicted to this little thing and I am thinking of buying this one next:

It is $17.99 but so very cute!  I have used my aqua Dash every day since I got it and this is what I have made:

* Turkey meatloaf waffles with turnip green jambalaya (mixed up ground turkey meat with an egg, onions, bell pepper, garlic, cracker crumbs, salt, pepper, tajin,  and a bit of tomato paste and rolled into balls which I smashed with the dash lid - then I mixed up turnip greens, chopped and diced turkey sausage, canned chicken, chili beans, tobasco and califlower rice with salt, pepper and tajin seasoning).  

*blueberry biscuits with Jimmy Dean maple sausage - Grands Biscuit tore in half, rolled into a ball and smashed with the Dash lid, cooked for 1 minute then added blueberries and closed the lid.  Repeated with the other half of the biscuit, then made the sausage patty in the dash too.

*Peanut butter waffles topped with jelly.

*Buttered Nutri-grain Bars heated in the Dash and smashed - wow was that good.

*Blueberry waffles.

*One eyed egg - toast with crust cut off, circle hole in middle then egg put in and topped with cheese.

*Waffle breakfast sandwich - made two waffles, then did an egg with green bell pepper and topped with cheese.

*Biscuit breakfast sandwich - biscuit  done in two sections in the Dash, hashbrowns in the Dash, egg in the Dash.

*Grilled french fries - took frozen french fries, some bacon, and some cheese and smashed it all together - topped with sour cream and chives.

Yes, I gained 3 lbs from the carbs and calories but it was all so fun.  

I have a few pictures here on this fun journal page made using the new Eat, Play, Love papers, stamps and embellishments I recently purchased.  You can see the peanut butter and jelly waffle on the top left and the turkey meat loaf and turnip green jambalaya on the top right.  The bottom right is some air fryer deer cubed steaks stuffed with cream cheese and jalapenos.  

On the bottom right you can see my cup of courage full of  Teavana Earl Grey Creme tea - one of my new favorites.  Since I included the drink, I am linking up to T is for Tuesday at Elizabeth's (it is her Bearthday - so you might want to drop by and wish her well).  T is for too many calories for sure!!!  Also linking to **Art*Journal*Journey where the theme is "Inspired by" - I was inspired by my new Dash and my new papers and stamps. 

Isn't that cooking gnome cute?  I water-colored her.  There are two other gnomes in the set - I used one on this card. 

He was water-colored as well.  All my supplies are Close to My Heart.  

I also made a journal page for Mike Deakin's Mission Inspiration mini-challenge - the theme is window.  One of the suggestions is to do something from one of your windows.  I took it literally.  This is the scene from my craft room window (actually the picture was taken from outside and to the left as I could not get a good picture from inside.  I know the real trees are not blue - hubby was appalled at my color choices but I was too lazy to go get some additional colors out and this is my journal where nothing has to be perfect or the right color.  The side was bare so I wrote window terms on it - who knew there were so many!  

Another card to share as well.  This is made with the new Fishing Silhouette image from DRS Designs.  I love it.  The blue sponging ended up being a bit dark but what real fisherman wouldn't think an early morning fishing time isn't the start to a picture perfect day?

I got my second CVAX shot yesterday.  So far so good with only a little soreness to my arm.  

Hope you are doing well as you visit here today.  I so appreciate it!

Hugz,
