Recipe: Crockpot Ham & Veggies

Crock pot Ham & Veggies
recipe by Miss Momma G



Are you looking for an affordable, easy and simple dinner to make for the family?  Look no further than my Crock pot Ham & Veggies recipe!  Another great thing about this recipe is that it's low in carbs!  Woo Hoo!!!

I just whipped this together so it's quite simple. All you need are a few ingredients, a little time, a voila dinner is served!

Ingredients:
1/2 bag carrots
1 can green beans
2 large slices of in bone ham
Allegro Hickory Smoked Marinade (just enough to cover the bottom of the crock pot)

Directions:
  1. Start off by pouring the Allegro Hickory Smoked marinade into the crock pot.  Just enough to cover the bottom to your liking, enough to marinade your meat.
  2. Next add your veggies. I used about a half bag of mini peeled carrots and a can of green beans.  Make sure you add the entire can of green beans (including water) into the crock pot.  
  3. Either dice or cut your in bone ham slices into small sections and add to crock pot.
  4. Once all ingredients are in, stir to mix it all together and just let it cook.
  5. Cook on high for about an hour, or when meat is fully cooked. 
  6. Serve and enjoy!

Craft Idea: 1000 Gifts with Art Doodling

1000 Gift's Meet my creative side...

I have always liked the 1000 Gifts idea but have really never sat down and started it yet.  I found myself needing something creative to go along with it. So viola, here's an idea....

What if I use Ann Voskamp's 1000 Gifts idea and combine it with the this idea by Intentional by Grace.  It's almost like Praying in Color!  Basically, everyday doodling where I add to an art project that I worked on the day before. A little something like this: 



Where as on the left side there is the monthly Joy Dares/ Gifts, then on the right side, start with 1 doodle and everyday add to that doodle drawing to where by the end of the month I would have a wonderfully, beautiful peace of art!  It would be a collaboration of monthly gifts and daily drawing/ doodling.

Some other ideas:
- List of things that make me smile / make me happy like over at Kimberly's Notebook.

Just an idea.  What do ya'll think?

HOT off my Hook: July 4th Crochet Bunting

July 4th Crochet Bunting 
made by Miss Momma G



Hot off my hook.... I bring you my latest crochet project, just in time for the holiday, a 4th of July bunting!  It's simple, cute, and a small project. I absolutely LOVE the granny squared triangles!  I can find many other uses for the triangle pattern!  I'm also excited how easily it was to make the stars and how pretty they turned out.  

For this project I used the following patterns:

Goodbye Wink, May you find peace!


On June 29, 2015, I read on a craft blog that I follow that a fellow lover of creative things lost her battle with depression and took her own life!  It saddens me to sit here and type this post as I think about a creative being that influenced so many people and was such a wonderful, talented artist!  Although I did not know her personally, I feel as though she has made an impact not only on my life but others lives as well.  

This is for you Wink! May you find peace and know how much you really meant to everyone! I made this mandala in honor of you Wink and I will be hanging this up on my wall.

I hate the fact that your depression got the best of you and you took your life! But by awareness, support, and contributions, I hope that one day we can all give light to those suffering in the darkness!

Depression is a silent battle for most, but I just want everyone out there suffering with depression to know that you are not alone!! And if you ever need anyone to just sit and listen or to talk to, I am here, no matter if you know me or not!

With Love, 

Miss Momma G
