What I wore: My DIY Galaxy Shirt

Are you addicted to Pinterest?? I know I am I love browsing the DIY section, I was inspired to make my own Galaxy Tee a couple of months ago I bought all the stuff but never got to it until yesterday. I am wearing the first of three I made, and my daughter decided she claiming this one for her there goes my T-Shirt. I got all the instructions here, I bought most of my supplies including the T-shirt at Michael's I did cut the shoulders off. This was a fun project, next time I try this again I will do it outdoors when the weather warms up.
Happy Weekend guys and bundle up Georgia.

What's cooking?

After working out hard this morning in the TRX class, I decided to make an apple pie (cause somewhere I saw it's National Pie Day), the feeling in the kitchen was good so I  made a hearty beef soup and a salad with roasted onions, sweet potatoes, and ham and goat cheese for tonight's dinner. I took the pictures before my Zumba class, ( I have to eat after the class , cause if I eat before the class I won't make it) so I am pushing myself hard tonight so I can treat moi to a slice of that delicious homemade apple pie.
Have a great evening guys.

Spotlight on: Rwandalicious.

A couple of weeks ago I received a pair of beautiful handmade earring from a local Atlanta jewelry designer (originally from Rwanda). She makes one of a kind and Eco friendly jewelry. They are handcrafted out of paper and these were get a lot of use during the summer for sure. Thanks again Aimee-Josiane.

You can  visit her website to view more of her handmade  jewelry at http://etsy.com/shop/RWANDALICIOUS. Rwandalicious is also on Facebook (http://facebook.com/Rwandalicious) and Twitter (http://twitter.com/CraftyAfricans). You can find the mission of Rwandalicious below. 

Rwandalicious is a Rwandese inspired commitment to making fabulousness out of recyclable and reusable, everyday materials! 

The inspiration for using paper beads and cloth to make earrings, necklaces and other accessories comes from the women and men in Rwanda who have long used simple materials around them to create the most marvelous pieces of art.

Aimee-Josiane is aiming to bring the hills of Gikongoro to the streets of the ATL! East meets West has never been so much fun.

Monday Pinterest Fashion Addiction.

Was happy that we had another day to sleep in and just be. I got to do a little bit of cleaning and then spent the afternoon at Imaging USA Expo downtown Atlanta. Here are some of my finds on Pinterest.

What's cooking??? Black Eye Pea Puffs/ Fritters

I am just going to warn you this recipe takes long, but the end result is delicious.

I grew up eating these and I decided to make these to bring to a Caribbean Party my friend was hosting.

Black-eyed pea puffs

One and half ponds of black eye peas (beans) For mine I used 2 bags

salt to taste,

Habanero peppers to taste (seeded and chopped)

3/4 cups of egg white

oil for frying

I soaked the peas in water for 24 hours and started peeling the outer skin the following day, it took me 4 hours to peel them.  In a food processor I grind the peas, and the peppers together in batches, then in a big bowl I mixed in the salt and egg whites until consistency of cookie dough.

I pour the mixture with a table spoon in the oil , turning them until golden brown all over.

I made approximately 75 puffs, eat them while hot.

My daughter helping.

I used gloves while cutting the Habanero peppers.
