Mel & Me

For those of you who don't know, we do own land here in Belize. We started the cement pad for our future house up 'On the Hill' about 2 years ago, and finally, finally, it will be finished! Keaton, Dad and the 4 guys who will be finishing the foundation are up on the hill today putting the rebar into the foundation and getting water pumped from the 375ft. deep well all the way to the top of the property. God is GOOD, all the time, and ALL the time, God is good. Hopefully, if all goes as planned, we will be pouring the floor on Monday! Yay! So, what better to do when you have a bunch of guys working than make them....Cinnamon Rolls! Mmmmmm....I won't be posting the specific recipe, just some pictures...to make your mouth water!   Come to think of it, we should have used THIS mixer to make the Cinnamon Rolls!!!! That's all for now, but keep posted! *Mel and Paige

Grady and I came across this recipe yesterday after searching for recipes that use Matcha powder. Main recipe is from veganwithbambi.com, no credit taken on my end, but we did add a few extra ingredients. Made with Oats, almonds, coconut, salt, Matcha powder, coconut oil, vanilla, sesame, maple syrup and chocolate chips.       ....That face says it all.... #Kitchen_Critic   *Mel and ME

Well, I did this picture a few weeks ago but figured I could share it with you now! Water colour pencils really are pretty easy to use. Easier than water colour paints, if you ask me (and Mel!). Simply colour on a picture the sections that you want highlighted, then, using a wet paint brush, pull the colour to other sections of the picture. Voila! This first piece of work, I used a picture from a colouring book and painted/coloured on it,   this piece I drew myself, using a cardboard template I made for the hexagons. Also, please ignore on this picture that I absentmindedly spelled 'Healthy' wrong!!!!   Anyways, I hope you enjoy these posts! Comment or email me cool artwork YOU do, or renditions of the art I post, and I can share it on here!   *Mel and Paige

Surprisingly enough, Belize does get some cool (low 70Fs!) spells, and this morning happens to be one of those times. What else helps to bring up your body temperature but a steaming hot.....London Fog! This recipe uses the traditional Earl Grey Tea, but with some added mint leaves to give just the right flavour, as well as some other (not so secret) ingredients to add to the frothiness!
