I am a woman that believes "No stone should be left unturned." This makes my adventures somewhat dangerous! Not to worry I always look down. My husband and I have recently undertaken quite a transformation. We have moved from a place and a state of address and mind. As I grow older I'm learning every stage of life has Goods and Bads. Highs and Lows. Ebbs and Flows. After trying to be someone and something I knew I never was. I am discovering and learning to not be afraid to be me. This statement is so powerful and yet so Cliche. I have "Graduated" from a "homemaker" to a Crone. This to me means I must learn to embrace change, embrace a different way, move forward from a Mom of children to a Mom of young adults. My children no longer need to be kissed every night and tucked in as I wish I could. They are blossoming into their own adventures....defined only by themsleves. I am excited to embrace their new adventures, however, they may not

I am SO in Love with DUKKAH spice mix! Dukkah is an Egyptian Spice Mixture and it is often served with pita bread that has been basted with olive oil.  The bread is then dipped in the mixture.  It has a variety of uses.  You can use it on meats, rice, veggies – the possibilities are endless with Dukkah!  To make it is easy I have made up my own mix and am selling it in my shop at Etsy. It is contains SO many spices, nuts, seeds, and peppers! https://www.etsy.com/listing/177677000/dukkah-egyptian-spice-mix-seasoning?ref=shop_home_active_1 Why not give it a try?  You just  might  discover your Egyptian  taste buds  and fall in love with Middle Eastern Food like I did! Dukkah (dook-ah) is a delicious blend of nuts, seeds, and spices. It is based on a traditional Middle Eastern recipe. I first discovered this great mixture while on vacation in Western Australia (WA). It has become a popular seasoning in Australia and can easily be purchased there, bu
I am passionate to share my Chili's and Food items with you! The Chili Pepper celebrates FOOD! LOVE TO SHARE IT, PREPARE IT AND EAT IT! Here I will share recipes, tips, party ideas etc. This will compliment my shop The Chili Pepper on Etsy! I am self taught and spend hours reading, studying and cooking! I started cooking at a very young age on a stool up in my Mom and Dad's kitchen. Peaking into bowls, peeling potatoes and licking spoons! I love to create and taste different combinations of spices and preparations! Growing up in Colorado, I fell in love with roasted chili peppers. Many times they are the focal point to my cooking. But I LOVE all kinds of spices and food! I love the spirit in my kitchen and the satisfaction I get whether I have succeeded creating a special meal or I have just fed my daughters softball team! The smiles and full stomachs fill my heart with warmth. I started this business simply to warm your heart and fill those you cook for by s

Tye Dye Aprons and Towels for your Kitchen! http://www.etsy.com/shop/Delectia?ref=si_shop I use a 10 step process to ensure a wonderful lasting tye dye product! These steps are considered old fashioned compared to the fast kits on the market available at local crafts stores, however, through time, trial and error I have developed this wonderful process that I use time and time again! It takes longer, and is definitely more labor and product intensive BUT WELL WORTH IT!! Get a head start on your Christmas Shopping!!

CANNING TIME I love canning time!  My son and I started growing, canning, and pickling beets 3 years ago when he was just 8 years old!  I look forward to it more and more every year! My 14 year old daughter is a great help, however, canning and cooking really  isn't  a passion of hers! We do the entire process start to finish outdoors on our cook stove.  This way only our hands, feet, and clothes are dyed blood red rather than our whole kitchen! 1.      Harvest them from the garden.  2.     Soak and scrub the mud off! 3.     Boil them until they are soft. 4.     Hit them with cold water and slide the skins off. 5.     Trim unwanted parts and cut into desired size. 6.     Mix pickling solution boil beets in it. 7.     Fill and process the jars! 8.           LAUGH EVERY STEP OF THE WAY AND HAVE FUN! It is such a gratifying task that I truly love tending to.   Visit my new shop on Etsy @ https://www

I believe in the power of simplifying! Less is MORE! I pair my items with a meditation and/or a bible verse to help simply life and encourage relaxation. Use symbolism and the strength that comes with surrounding yourself with the Earth's elements, to maintain balance or healing in your world. Symbols are very powerful and can be extremely useful tools in the creation of your world or help to heal or create aspects in your world.  The symbol itself acts like a key that helps you to hone-in on that particular energy.  When you see the symbol it should invoke an inner need for you to carry it or use it. This feeling of need is a sure sign that you need what that symbol can give you.  Rocks have a very high energy and Zen. Their traditional properties naturally aid in improving focus and concentration, help with decision-making, improving a positive outlook, promoting creativity, alleviating insomnia, and calming, motivating, and strengthening.
