Busy as a Bee

I have been neglecting my blog a little lately. Sorry everyone! I have been working on a children's book project. I can't show any of it off-it is super secret until it is printed. It has been keeping me super busy. I am almost done though. So more new art soon! :)

good times...good times

Gluten Free Southwest Lettuce Wraps

Southwest Lettuce wraps

Gluten free! (You can use flour or corn tortillas in place of the lettuce if you want)

Several large lettuce leaves (I like Butter Head) Wash (spin if you have a salad spinner) then set aside

Mix in a large skillet
1 Package ground turkey
1 medium onion diced
I don't use any oil-the meat (and later the lime and salsa) are enough to keep it moist

Saute on medium heat

Add dried ancho chili powder to taste
some salt

When turkey is brown add:
2 ears fresh corn cut from the cob
1/2 red, orange, or yellow pepper diced
1 Bunch of green onions
2 small to medium tomatoes
a couple of tablespoons of the salsa of your choice
a couple of teaspoons of fresh lime juice

Cook for about 5-10 minutes on medium heat

Wrap in Lettuce leaves and enjoy!

(I like to add lots of Cholula hot sauce)

Fireworks in Ashland Oregon

I arrived at my motel in Ashland Oregon just in time to see the fireworks this year. I was able to watch right from my room and I didn't even plan it. I love Oregon.

Road Trip~Art drop

I just got back from a road trip all the way down to southern California. I dropped about 45 pieces of art along the way.
