Recipe LO {Cosmo Cricket: Garden Variety}

I made this layout for Janet's sketch challenge over at Kitchen Keepsake. It was for a crop a couple weekends back but I'm just now getting around to getting a good picture & posting it! It also works for Kayla's January CC challenge over at scrapbook.com.

 Speaking of the CC challenge at scrapbook.com - I won for December! Thanks to everyone who voted for me ;) Just a few days after the vote, THIS arrived for me. Isn't it the cutest delivery box?! They are so clever! Get it CC, like CiCi's Pizza? Or is that just a coincidence?

 So I'm not eligible this month for the challenge, but you still have time! The challenge bonus was to use at least 3 pieces of chipboard - I've got lots with the layered flowers and the cute corn :)

Here's a closeup of the recipe for you - but I'm still not sure you can read it. Basically, get a variety of colors in your veggies, chop them up, add some garlic, salt & pepper, EVOO. Roast it at 400 degrees for 15-20 mins. I chop my veggies and make 3 servings, then freeze 2 for another time.

Cookbookin' September Sketch Challenge {Basic Grey: Nook & Pantry}

Cookbookin' has a new blog and Kristie gets to be in charge of the blog! She is VERY talented and I get tons of ideas (including the pinwheels from a few posts back) that aren't even all recipe scrapping related.

They are having a monthly sketch challenge - yay! September's challenge is to use this sketch: And this is what I came up with. This is an 8 1/2 x 11 page which I'm finding I like most for most of my recipes.

I haven't personally made these cookies yet but they are super delicious and sound super easy to make! Here's the recipe:

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

1 chocolate cake mix

2 eggs

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1 package of Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Miniatures

Mix the first three ingredients together until well blended. Mold cake mixture around the Reeses PB Cups and bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 mins.
