Cool Find #8

For this weeks cool find I bring you another DIY for your home.

A name plate.

I think I will make this for our house using our last name.  I will hang it in on the wall in our foyer.
This can also make a great gift for someone.  I really like this project.  You can do just initials, use different colors, you can even put in the bathroom with the word bathroom in. The possibilities are endless.

Homemade Iced caramel coffee

I was never a coffee drinker up until my 6th pregnancy.  During this time I tasted someones Ice coffee and have loved it since then.  I'm thinking its one of those pregnancy things.  You know its either you never ate it before until you got pregnant or you loved it until you got pregnant. Anyway, I make my husband coffee every morning, so I decided to try making ice coffee.  Now all I did was wait till it cooled added some milk and that was it.  I did not like it.  Recently I found out that I could make caramel using sweet condensed milk.  Basically you take the can, put it in a pot add lots of water and boil it for about 4 hours.  So I had the idea of doing this and adding it to the ice coffee.  I can say I will not have to buy it at DD any more.  This is soo goood.
After I make my hubby's coffee I wait till it cools some but not to much.  I put 1-2 tablespoons of the homemade caramel in my cup then add some coffee.  I put in enough ice cubes to fill up the cup then I add my milk.  I also add a little bit of vanilla extract.  It doesn't even need sugar.  It is so good.

Give it a try.

Whats for dinner #7

Today's dinner is one of my families favorite.  Lasagna.

I know this is tried and true for alot of you. But since my family loves it, I thought I should put the recipe here.
ENJOY!!!!
Ingredients
lasagna noodles
Meat
Pasta Sauce(your choice)
Ricotta Cheese
Mozzarella Cheese.
Seasoning for your meat.
First cook the pasta according to the box.
I make my lasagna with ground turkey.  I put it in the caldero (pot I use to make rice. check out this link)
I constantly chop the meat up while it is cooking with my trusted metal spoon.  I season the meat with sofrito , adobo, sazon, garlic and onion powder.  After it is all mixed up well I add the sauce.
Once the noodles are done I drain them and put them in cold water.
I then go on to start building the lasagna.
First I layer the baking dish with noodles I add the meat,  put in some ricotta cheese then sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top.
I continue these steps till I come to the top of my baking dish.  Cover with sauce and mozzarella cheese.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for about 30-40 minutes.
I usually put my oven to 375*.  Just make sure you check your food.  Ovens all cook differently.  It is done once you see it bubbling on the sides.
