Best Ever Beef Dip Sandwiches

So my obsession with pintrest led me to these yummy sandwiches that I made last night. If you don't know me I SUCK!!! at cooking. Everything I make turns to crap before I touch it (I swear it's true!!) So anyways back on track I found a recipe for Beef Dip Sandwiches at Real Mom Kitchen and they turned out GREAT!!

So after being super excited about making something actually edible I thought I would share the recipe with you. You can click the link above or just copy from below. I added a beef bouillon cube to mine and used rump roast instead of beef chuck roast.

Best Ever Beef Dip Sandwiches

• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
• 3 bay leaves
• 1 cup soy sauce
• 6 cups water
• 3-4 lbs beef chuck roast
• rolls or buns
• sliced provolone
• 1 beef bouillon cube

1. Combine garlic, rosemary, bay leaves, soy sauce, and water in a slow cooker. Stir to combine.
2. Place the roast in liquid in the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-10 hours
3. Remove roast from slow cooker and shred. Place liquid from slow cooker in another container and remove bay leaves. Return shredded beef to slow cooker. Add a small amount to the reserved liquid. Add just enough to make the beef nice and moist.
4. Place rolls or buns on a baking sheet. Place one slice of provolone on each roll. Place on the center rack of oven under the broiler
5. Serve meat on the rolls or buns along side reserved liquid for dipping.

See so easy anyone can do it, even me. I made a recipe card for this that you are welcome to below.

Mother's Day items

So I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter, I slept most of mine away because of working the night before but that's what happens when you work at a hospital :( So I am moving on from easter and looking for cute ideas for mother's day, I of course have this sign at my etsy shop that can be customized in any color combo

 

Here is a cute card

There is so much cute stuff out there it is impossible to limit them but that's all for now. I will have some pics of some new signs coming soon. Nothing new on the floor remodel, it is taking way to much time and doesn't look like I have done anything yet :) 

Floor remodel

Crisis averted my camera was found, LOL!

So now on to more important things like projects. Me and my boyfriend bought our old farmhouse about 6 years ago and have yet to do anything to it expect carpet in 2 rooms and some painting (we did rip out a divider wall a couple years ago too). So anyway I decided it was time to pull up our nasty 70's brown shag carpet, it is disgusting and smells, unfortunately I didn't get a pic before I ripped out the main piece but here an idea in the back corner that I didn't rip up yet because of the step.

I know beautiful right, lol!

Okay so after ripping it up this is what we have underneath (keep in mind that I am still not sure what I was doing with the floor but just knew the carpet needed to go).

So all of the dots in the pic are from the dust from where I started to sand, and since I can't take the carpet out myself so it has been sitting there for 2 days waiting for boyfriend to help.

So this is what my floors look like, pretty crappy, so we will see what it looks like when it is finished. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and I will post as we continue to do it.

Goal

So for some reason I decided to wake up at 4:00am today and couldn't go back to sleep, so my goal was to get up and get something new made for my blog, however, I spent about an hour looking for my camera so I could shoot in stages and still have yet to find it, so that made my new goal to finish up some orders and then clean my craft room, seriously it looks like a tornado ran straight through it. So after I finish working on orders and cleaning maybe there will be some time left to do another post (fingers crossed!!)



So instead you get a few pics from my stacked blocks. They are fun simple and can say just about anything.
Oh and big surprise they are available on my Etsy shop. I really am trying to get stuff on here that I don't sell but it's hard because every time I make something new I'm like, oh that would be great for the shop, ha ha.
Oh well, hopefully something new coming soon.
Have a great day!!!



Unmotivated :(

It's sad to say that I have nothing new to post this week. I have been completely unmotivated and short on thime this week so nothing new to share :( So to fill up some space and give you a little insight on my life I thought I would show you guys my favorite puppy in the world (okay so he's not really a puppy anymore but I call him that anyways) so meet Gally!

Gally is a 3 year old, 155 lbs. Great Dane and is the biggest baby in the world!! His favorite activities are laying on the couch, chasing cats, and picking up sticks in the yard. He likes to go on long walks but chews on anything you leave in sight when you leave him alone. I have went through 3 remotes to my dvr!! I love him but I now have to replace a couch, carpet, remotes, and many more things since he has blessed my life. Gotta love dogs!!

Easter Sign

Well I have been MIA for a of days due to my work schedule. I had to work 5 12hour shifts in a row and have done nothing but sleep and go to work. Sad part is none of it counts for overtime. I hate the way my work week falls :( To make matters worse I hurt my back lifting a patient last night and have to go back again tonight :(

Okay on to better things. I made this new sign for Easter and I love the way it turned out. My only complaint is that the word Easter doesn't stand out as much as I would like it to, which I will fix with the next ones I make. Let me know what you guys think of it. As always it is available for sale at my esty shop.



I took an extra piece of wood I had left over from my wedding signs, sanded it and painted it a light blue. I cut the egg out of a yellow chevron patterned paper and attached to the front. Then I cut out the Easter letters using vinyl and painted them to the sign. I distressed the whole thing and then sealed. I love, love, love how it turned out.

St. Patty's Day Sign

I love this sign for St. Patty's Day, it is simple and easy to make.

I took a 2x4 piece of wood cut it to approx 11", sanded and stained it an oak stain.

I taped of the edges and painted the middle dark green. Once dry I cut the shamrock paper

to fit and inked around the edges with Dark Soot distress ink.

I cut the work Lucky and the shamrock in black vinyl using transfer tape put it to the paper and

sealed the entire thing using gloss modge podge. I think the entire project took about a day and a half letting all the stuff dry.

It's so simple and cute, I love it.

If you don't feel like making your own, I have them for sale at My Etsy Shop Stop by and take a look around.

Wedding Sign

I absolutely love making this sign for people on my Etsy Shop it has been pretty popular since the begining of the year and I get more colors to add everyday it seems.

I will send pics of how it is made at some point however I would like to keep some of it secret since I wouldn't want other people on etsy copying it :)

I have had the shop closed for a couple of days because I had to many orders to get out and not enough time to do them all I will be reopening soon.
