Food For Thought

Hello everyone!!
Natasha (bcnatty) coming at you with a break from your everyday scrapping to bring you my take on recipes!! Now, as a mom of 3 growing kiddos, who play soccer, basketball and hockey, along with my fiancee who plays hockey and soccer, and myself who plays soccer and basketball…I am ALL about quick and easy recipes. And I have to admit that Pinterest has been my saviour for this. Every weekend, I sit down with the rugrats and the fiancee and pick out dishes from my “Yummy” Pinterest board for our weekly meal plan. And I have to admit that since I began cooking dishes from there, our meals have had so much variety…and there are some really amazing and quick recipes out there!! Here are just a few of my favourites.

Warning…may cause drooling!!!

Cowboy Spaghetti by Rachel Ray

My fiancee absolutely loves this…and how could he not?!? It has everything a man could want in a meal…cheese, meat, BACON and to top it off?!? BEER!!!

Slow Cooker Barbecue Ribs

I am always on the lookout for a good slow cooker rib recipe…I am not a huge fan of gnawing meat off bones. I like to have my meat so tender that it just falls off…and I think that I have found that recipe that I will be sticking with…these are SOOOOO tasty and tender. Definitely a family favourite!!!

Korean Ground Beef

If you are looking for a really quick, but tasty recipe…this is it!! Seriously…it is done, by the time your rice is done cooking!! My kiddos ask for this dish EVERY week!!

I’m a creative who pulls inspiration from all corners of life—both the joyful highs and the real-life moments that punch you in the gut. Honestly, I don’t think I can pin down a single scrapbooking style for myself, so let’s just go with eclectic. My layouts really depend on my mindset. If I’m in a deep, cerebral mood, you’ll likely see something chaotic and messy. If I’m more relaxed, it tends to come out clean, simple, and structured.

My brain is usually running on several channels at once, so it’s completely normal for me to be working on a digital layout, dabbling in a hybrid project, and getting messy with art journaling or mixed media—all at the same time.

Here are a few of my go-to tools: Digital: Adobe Photoshop CC + my MacBook; Photos: Canon Rebel or iPhone; Hybrid: Cricut Joy + sewing machine; Art Journaling: watercolors, stencils, and artsticks

And when it comes to embellishments—digital or physical—I’m always reaching for messy threads, ribbons, and Polaroids. Always the Polaroids.
