Inked Creations by Sam

I started this blog a few weeks ago, not really having any other intentions other than simply sharing my triumphs and failures living as a young working wife who practically survived using pinterest lol! A lot of things have been happening in my life all at once lately... my best friend had her son, my sister in law had her daughter, my husband is nearing the end of his contract with the U.S. Army, and I'm about to apply for a annual salary job for the first time in my life... With all these new firsts, that means a lot of announcements in the mail, so I was busily photo editing some adorable pictures of my niece and nephew mainly for fun. My sister in law decided to use the ones I did for her as her announcements, she loved them so much. I was more than flattered, and was sharing the news with my mother who then gave me the brilliant idea of making a small business for myself, and sell my edits!
So, for those of you who have been following my blog, you might have noticed the name change. This is officially my new business and I am taking orders immediately! Please contact me through my Facebook page for details and pricing. I will have a small portfolio up shortly!

Starbucks Secret Recipe: Oreo Frappuccino

YUM!!

Pineapple Salsa Chicken

I have finally decided to dive into the Crock Pot World!!

I browsed through pinterest before I came across this delicious recipe...
http://thefrugalgirls.com/2013/10/crockpot-pineapple-salsa-chicken-recipe.html

I continued to browse through The Frugal Girls blog (which is one of my most favorite blogs), wrote up my grocery list and dragged the hubby to the store!

The Crock pot Pineapple Salsa Chicken caught my eye in particular because my husband could probably eat his weight in pineapples and in salsa and I decided to pair this recipe with white rice (also hubby's favorite). The only thing I did different from the given recipe from the link above, was cut the recipe serving size in half, since its just my hubby and I. This dish was more than just amazing! This Crock pot recipe is definitely a pinerest WIN! 

What you'll need and the recipe measurements for a dinner for two are...
-Smucker's Pineapple preserves, 9 oz.
-Chunky salsa, 8 oz.
-Chicken, 2-3 boneless, skinless breast
-Crock pot
-Crock pot bag *optional


What you need to do is...
-Cook Chicken in crock pot for 3 hours
-After 3 hours, drain juices and mix salsa and pineapple preserves
-Pour mixture into crock pot
-Cook on HIGH for 30 minutes
-Serve on a bed of rice and ENJOY!

DIY Blackberry Icing Sugar Scrub

As usual, I was browing pinterest for a DIY gift idea and stumbled upon several DIY sugar srubs that seemed simpleand decided to try it out. I took a few different recipes and came up with my own for my own personal preferences. IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SCRUB! I just had to share this wonderful gift idea that any friend or family member would love. My mom and mother-in-law loved their's! This Blackberry Icing Recipe I made as a birthday gift for a friend of mine.
For the jar I recycled a candle I had gotten from Walmart. To get any extra wax from the old candle out I boiled water and poured it into the jar, almost filling it. I normally would leave it over night and the water will melt the extra wax and it will rise to the top and dry ontop of the water. Then you just pull the wax out and wash jar.


All you need is 4 ingredients (5 is you choose to use food color for pretty presentation).
2 cups Granulated Sugar
1 cup Coconut oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
10 drops of Blackberry Essential oil
20 drops of Vanilla Essential oil
3 drops purple food coloring (optional) 


Step 1: Mix all ingredients into mixing bowl all together, stir until throughly mixed.
Step 2: Spoon mixture into jar
Step 3: Seal jar with lid and put into freezer for 20 minutes
Step 4: Take jar out and fluff sugar scrub mixture. I personally with spoon it back into the bowl to stir, it will be a little hard.
Step 4: Decorate jar with ribbon. Another idea is to add a tag with the Sugar Scrub scent on it.
Step 5: Spoon sugar scrub back into jar.

Keep in area under 75 degrees, if mixture melts and the ingredients separate just put back into freezer for 15-20 mintues.
