Geometric Designs - CAL - Week 7

For this page I stuck with greens. I felt like in nature, the frogs are green and the leaves are green so this was a great page to stick with the same colours. Even though I used all greens they play off each other well and I think the photo looks much better all the same colour like this. 

This next page reminds me of Candy so I think I will stick to bright colours for it. Since it has no natural look to it, I don't feel like I need to use any specific colours.

Mario Monday - Fire Power Mario

For May we are going back to Mario! There are a few different ways you can see Mario in Super Mario Bros 3. He gets a few different power ups that change his appearance and a few different actions too! This graphs we call Fire Power Mario. However, this isn't what Mario actually looks like in the game. In the game Mario is more pink and orange when he has the fire power. To us that didn't look good, so we substituted the colours. If you would like to make it official by all means do so. 

This graph is 30 x 30. Most of the Mario and Luigi graphs are 30 x 30. If you would like to use them in your blanket you can always make every square 30 x 30 or you can make the Mario graphs 40 x 40.

Sunday Cooking - Creamy Sheppard's Pie

Sheppard's Pie is a classic! And every family has their own unique recipe. Today, we are sharing our twist on the classic by adding a secret ingredient to make it creamy and sinfully delicious!

This is a very simple recipe it takes the classic and adds a few other ingredients to take it to the next level! 

What you'll need:

1 Pound Ground Beef

1 Can of Corn 

2 Carrots (Diced)

Rosemary

1 Can of Cream of Mushroom Soup

Shredded Cheese (to top)

Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Mashed Potatoes

Potatoes 

Cream

Butter 

Getting Started: 

You are going to want to start by making just plain old mashed potatoes. Peel the potatoes cut them into large chunks and added them to a pot of boiling water. (We recommend 5-7 Large Russet Potatoes, but this can vary depending on the size of dish you use.) Once the potatoes are cooked and drained of any water, mash and or whip the potatoes adding 1/2 cup of butter, mix and then slowly add 1 cup of cream (you may need more or less depending on the potatoes). 

Dice two peeled carrots (or shred) and add to a frying pan with the ground beef. Cook until the carrots are soft and the meat is cooked. Add the rosemary, salt, and pepper to taste. Next, add the can of soup. Mix until the soup has broken down and everything has been incorporated. (You may also have to cook some of the liquid off.)

In a Pyrex dish (or casserole dish), create your Sheppard's Pie.  Pour the meat mixer into the bottom of the dish, add the can of corn. Finally, add the mashed potatoes and top with shredded cheese (we used cheddar). You can also decide to make multiple layers and add mashed potatoes to the bottom to make the whole dish hold better, this is completely up to you.
