Crock Pot: Turkey Neck Bones

We use to call these naked bones when I was small because by the time you finished sucking the meat off, there was nothing left! You wouldn't believe how easy it is to cook these in the crock pot. And it doesn't even take long.  You can also try beef neck bones, which may have a little more meat on them.  Check out this simple recipe I came up with:

Sew in Love: Summer Dress

I love to sew and design clothes. Below is a breezy, vintage patterned, summertime dresses that I made. I like to start with a manufactured dress pattern, then modify it and make it my own. After learning how to make ruffles recently, I had to add ruffles to the bust, which added dynamic to an otherwise plain dress. I also added pleats to the waist. The great thing about sewing your own clothes is that you can use whatever fabrics you like and you can be assured that no one else in the world is wearing what you have on!

Chicken or Shrimp Broccoli Alfredo

This is one of my favorite weekday meals. I just love an all in one pasta dish. This has your meat, starch, and vegetables. Perfect! It's remarkably simple and super easy. You can even switch up the noodle type if you'd like. Penne pasta is nice because all the sauce goodness gets inside the noodle, yumm. I make enough to last a few days so I won't have to cook every single night. I'm still learning to cook for one, so this recipe will definitely yield leftovers unless you eat like a bear =).

You Will Need:

Caramel Apple Cake

I originally got this recipe from a blog called a A Whisk and A Prayer. I was in the baking mood and went browsing through some cooking blogs and saw this wonderfully easy recipe. The blog author put it best when she said "When you bite through the cake's caramelized crust, you get a mouthful of plump, juicy apples and creamy gooey caramel melted together in a heavenly whirl of cinnamon and brown sugar."   Wow! Doesn't that sound heavenly?!

Let's get to it. Below is my adapted ingredient list and the cooking instructions. Everyone who I had try it, loved it.

Ingredients:

Blue Red and White OOTD

I know it may look a little patriotic, but red, white, and blue is another favorite color combo of mine. I tried not to make it look too obvious though. I also included some other big ticket accessories that I would love to have in my wardrobe ensemble.
