Quick and Easy Dinner: Alambres

Howdy guys!

Y'all this year has been so hard!

We have gone through everything you can imagine.

So, please bare with me on my blog post and all that. 

Any who, this recipe is great! it is so easy! And relatively cheap!

And let me just say this....I LOVE CHEAP DINNERS, but I also like delicious dinners! it has to taste good, it is all about flavor for me.

So you will need:

 -Sausage (any type or flavor you want)

- 2 Large bell peppers

- 1 Medium sized onion

- 1 Package of bacon (we like smoked apple wood bacon, semi thick)

- 1 Package of bamboo sticks

 After, you chop all your veggies and meat, whatever size you want... you are going to start putting them onto the bamboo sticks. My tip: start off with bell pepper, onion, bacon, sausage, and repeat! I say that because as it starts to cook and the flavor from the bacon and sausage will go start to go down and really season and flavor up the veggies! It gives it a nice smoked flavor! Okay, enough I am starting to drool! LOL but just stack them up however you want. After you do that, set them aside and get a nice pan and start to grill them. Grill them until you see that they are pretty much done, I personally like them a little burnt but that is me. Once you grill all of them, set them aside again, and start the oven for 350 degrees. I personally grilled them and after put them in the oven because I wanted to make sure they are cooked 110%. They came out so good! Get some corn tortillas and just eat the mixture in the taco, and oh Lord it tastes so good! But you can also grill them on the grill! That works too and make some rice and beans! YESSSSSSSSSSSS! But its all up to you:) so give it a try! you'll love them!!!!!

Thank you for checking out my blog!

I hope you enjoyed my post! And will give my recipe a try!

XOXO- Steph

Delicious Meatball Recipe!

Howdy guys!

I got a brand new recipe for yall!!

I randomly decided to try it and give it ago, and boy let me tell you...THE best meatballs I have ever had! No doubt!

They are incredibly tasty! They have so much flavor! They are just perfect! 

I honestly hope you give this recipe a go because you will NOT regret it! 

If you decide to give it a go, please let me know how it went!!! 

Alright! Now, the recipe!

 

You will need: 

- 1 LB of ground beef, you can use ground turkey if you'd like, we personally like beef!

- 3 or more diced garlic cloves

- 1 Cup or more of grated or shredded Parmesan cheese

- 1 Teaspoon or more of Italian seasoning

( you can find it at any grocery store, where the spices are, ours cost less than a dollar)

- 1 Egg

- 1/2 Cup of bread crumbs

- 1 Teaspoon of pepper flakes

- 1/2 Teaspoon of garlic salt

( We love garlic! Therefor we add a lot of garlic)

-3 or more cups of Vegetable oil

- Your choice of tomato sauce or pasta sauce.

(we use a pasta sauce that comes from a jar, BUT I add my own flavors to it, I play with the flavor it)

Directions:

You need a big bowl to mix all the ingredients together. In a big bowl you will add the ground beef, the diced garlic, the Parmesan, Italian seasoning, the egg, bread crumbs, pepper flakes, garlic salt and mash it together and make about 1 inch or bigger meatballs. Once the meatballs are done, set them aside and get a pan deep enough to fry the meatballs. Add more or less oil than I did. Add enough oil that a meatball is halfway covered in oil. Make sure the oil is hot, before you put in the meatballs. Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs and fry them and turn them around as needed. They will start to turn a brownish color, and make sure to check the inside so it is fully cooked. In other pan get your pasta sauce and either leave it like that or play with the flavor of the sauce. Once all the meatballs are cooked drain them on a paper towel and add them to the sauce. Let them sit in the sauce for about 10-15 minutes. When they are done, you can add them to some pasta, eat them by themselves or you can make meatball subs like we did!

It really is up to you! I hope you will recreate this recipe, make it your own and give it a try!

It is super easy and delicious!

Hope yall give it a try and like it!

XOXO- Steph

MAKEUP TUTORIAL-Brown smokey eyes!

Howdy guys!

Sorry I am slacking on my blog post, recently had surgery so I am trying to get myself all better and ready to go! 

With that said, when I feel good and up to it, I try to work on new blog posts!

So, who is excited for a makeup look! 

Like finally!!!

I hope y'all like it<3

Here we go......Products I used:

(in order)

The look:

I used NYX Milk Jumbo eye pencil on my lids and blended it with my finger. I used it as a base before I use any shadow on my lids, I like it, it works great and makes the colors pop! I then used MAC's Eyeshadow in Vapour, 3/4 of my lid and on my brow bone. I then used the Beauty Gems palette, I used mainly browns (this palette does not have names of the eyeshadow, I apologize:(!) Moving on, I used the shadow on the fourth row on the left on my crease and blended it. I then used, the chocolate darker brown color on the corner of my eyes, and blended it with the other color. I kept doing that back and fourth until I achieved the color I wanted. Remember to blend, blend and BLEND! You do not want to have harsh lines, you want nice blended creases and edges! So...KEEP BLENDING!!!! lol I then brought what was left on my brush down towards my lower lash line, to give it a more smokier look! I then curled my lashes, added some mascara. I used two mascaras they are listed above!!! and added mascara to my top and bottom lashes. I then filled my brows just a little with the chocolate dark brown from the palette. After that was done, I used Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Gel to set my eyebrows. Cause homegirl has some thick, crazy brow hairs! lol I then used Maybeline's Fit me Matte+Poreless Foundation in shade 130 Buff Beige. Then I used a mixture of two blushes from the Covergirl instantcheekbones palette. I used the left color and middle color and added them to my cheeks. Once I was done with my cheeks, I added some lipgloss!! YES GIRL or GUY!! I used Revlon 220 Fuchsia Finery and on top of that only in the middle, I used MAC's Lipglass in Viva Glam. And the look is complete<3 

Sorry the lighting is a bit off, I am not at home. I am in a different state so it is a bit off! SORRY! The next two photos below have better lighting but they were taken from my Iphone! Holler! haha

Hope y'all liked the look, I know I did!!!<3

OH and check out this awesome mirror I got at Target for 16.99!! And I brought it with me on my travels! Double sided, plus who does not love the lighting on it!!!! AHH best purchase ever!

Stress! Anxiety and Panic attacks!

Well, we all know I have been M.I.A from my blog....

Well for those who do not know, I have anxiety and panic attacks.

With that said, I have had a lot happen to me during a couple of months which have dramatically increased my anxiety! 

It has been bad y'all! I mean it has come to the point where I stayed home and did not go out at all. 

Yeah, it is/was that bad!

I am working on it, it is getting better.

Any who, for those who have been in the same boat or know someone please do not just stare at them and make them feel bad. It is bad enough they have to deal with this. Help them by asking them short response questions and help them feel comfortable and safe. It is a hard journey but y'all can do it:) I am here for y'all, you are not alone! 

Several things have helped me:

1. Essential Oils!!!!! (Lavender oil and Mint oil) LIFESAVERS! 

2. Music!!! (make a playlist) 

3. Walking or doing some sort of exercise.

4. NO CAFFEINE! (water is my best friend now)

5. Mints! (altoids help me,when you feel hot or stressed...pop one in your mouth and just let the mint refresh you and it makes you focus on other stuff than your crazy thoughts at the moment)

6. All natural anxiety medicine, my cousin got them from Mexico but if you are in HEB they have them as well. They are pills that are natural, they are like drinking chamomile cause yo girl does not like hot tea!

Seriously, LIFE SAVERS! I have to carry all of these things with me. When I have a panic attack or feel one coming, I try to walk or blast music so my music is louder than my thoughts. It helps, everyone is different but this helps ME. And the essential oils, I recently had a medical procedure done and I was stressed to no end! And I could not drink any water because I was going into surgery and I just spritz some mint oil and lavender on my neck, under my nose, and forehead and boy did it help! It also helped me with the nausea after surgery. I am not the one to take medication, so I always try to find a way to do the natural route. The medicine/pills are for last resort! I hated the thought of possibly getting prescribed anxiety medication from a doctor or psychologist because I felt defeated! I felt like I could not get my self in check, but I found those and have only used them once and they helped. 

I hope this helps someone, it helps me so it might help you! Do not feel alone or defeated! You got this girl or dude! Push forward, I know it is hard but you know what it is something that is making you stronger and you will get through it! Also remind yourself that each day is a new day and a new day to try to now have a panic attack. It is the small things lol. I am so proud of myself when I do no not have a panic attack for a day! I feel so happy and like I am making progress!

If you have any questions or comments, leave them down below! I would love to help!

 Till next time!

XOXO-Steph
