Dinner and a Project

With the wonderful help of Pinterest, Kydan and I have been a lot more crafts/projects. Here is one of them that I thought I would share since I thought it was really neat and they came out pretty nice!
It was quite simple to make and cheap since most of the supplies can be bought at the Dollar Tree!
What is needed:
Frames-dollar tree
clear see through stones- dollar tree (can also use beads or buttons)
Hot glue- walmart, I know you can buy the glue sticks at the dollar tree, or any craft store
Elmer's clear glue- I got this at walmart

1.you take out the back of the frame and glass. Put hot glue around the edge of the frame and place glass back into the frame and wait till the glass dries in place.
2. Take the clear elmers glue and place a big blob onto the glass and spread around with a sponge brush.
3. place the rocks, beads, buttons, or whatever onto the glue.
4. I put more clear glue on in between all the rocks because I wanted to make sure they would stick!
That is all! It took almost 24 hrs to completely dry.
The website I got the idea from they also out a leaf in one of their frames....Kydan and I might do this some other time. Here are close ups of the pictures...sorry I didn't feel like taking the time to find out how to flip the pictures :)

Also this past week at Gary's work they through a back to school party and this is the dish I decided to make....Wolf Pack Sliders! It was very yummy!

2 lb ground beef 

2 lb sausage (the original recipe called for spicy sausage but I am not a fan of spicy so I just found something without a lot of spice. I literally stood there looking for sausage for about 5 min. because they have like a dozen different kinds of sausage!

1 lb velvetta cheese

1 onion (optional) I added it

1 green pepper (optional) I didn't add this but I might next time.

steak sauce

sliced cheese (optional)

Brown the beef and sausage with onion and green pepper....drain.

add in the velveeta until melted. Place onto buns or wraps.

I liked these better the day after. I think because it gave the velveeta time to sink in to the meat.

The original recipe didn't call for steak sauce but I thought it was a little bland so after I placed the meat onto the bun I put a few drops of steak sauce on and added a slice of provolone cheese. It was delicious!!!! this will be my go to recipe for big gatherings where you need to bring a dish. So simple, makes a lot, and tastes great!
