i'm a pepper

I have recently discovered that I actually like peppers!


I cannot get enough red peppers, especially on a pita with goat cheese and toasted juust a little bit. Now I am trying all of the colors... they are so vibrant and beautiful! Who knew they could be so delicious? I certainly did not like veggies as a kid. Now I want peas in every casserole and tomatoes on everything. Here is a recipe that I have had already 3 times this week (and yes I realize it is only Tuesday):

1 spinach tortilla wrap
2 tbs red pepper hummus
spring mix or spinach greens
alfalfa sprouts
shredded carrots
slivers of all colors of peppers!
a couple of cucumber spears

spread the hummus on the wrap, pile all the veggies in, roll it up!
The creamy hummus and wrap paired with the freshy crunchiness of the peppers and carrots and cukes... so good. It is a perfect introduction to spring, and I cannot wait for more fresh veggies. More creative ideas from the kitchen soon!

Well, the wallpaper project is on temporary hold since the pattern I wanted is discontinued. Any suggestions on where to find modern and pretty wallpaper?

In the meantime, I redid my biggest bottle cap frame. It matched my room at my parents house (which has been repainted) so it was time for an update and coordination with MY house. I repainted it, and then took all of the caps out and organized them by color.

gray and grey

Finally! I finished another painting.


Acrylic on canvas, and a couple of layers from the phonebook.


I am liking the gray lately. The next project will be more work on the house. I want to wallpaper the vanity area of the bathroom... then paint the shower/toilet part one color and the bedroom another color so it all flows nicely. I have this in mind for the wallpaper:


Mostly neutral colors... but it has the gray that I am loving right now, and some pale yellows.
Stay tuned for the before and after of that project in April!
