Southwestern Egg Rolls

Update!

The southwestern egg rolls were a hit! Hubby loved them! I made the tortillas from scratch as well!


The only thing missing was cayenne pepper, but they were still very good!


I baked them instead of frying them and I also added some chia gel.



I can't wait for make more of these!

Baking Frenzy/Hair Check Up

Hey guys!

It's been a couple of months! I've been busy writing and promoting my books and family time. You know, the usual. So I decided to combine my posts!

First! The domestic diva has had a busy weekend! I've gotten into making well....everything homemade! I started with breads! The first one I made was a french bread. Mostly because I didn't have a loaf pan. It came out really good!


Later that night I made the kids some homemade mini corn dogs. Which were also very yummy!




The next day I made bread for sandwiches! I made a honey oat whole wheat bread. I added chia seeds to it. I borrowed a loaf pan from my neighbor and had another glass pan. The one in the glass pan came out just ok, I think if I'd shaped it better before letting it rise the second time it would have looked better. The one in the loaf pan was perfect! And it taste so yummy!


I cut it pretty thickly so I've only needed one slice to make sandwiches. And with the chia seeds that's all you need. Lol. I kept one loaf of each out and froze the others. 

This morning I made homemade tortillas. Later on I'm going to make some Southwestern egg rolls like they have at Chili's hubby loves those! I'll make a new post for that later!

Now on to my hair update! It's been rough with this winter weather but I'm holding on. I try to keep it in some protective style. Last weekend I flat ironed it again.
This was about a week after. 

A few days ago I rolled it with perm rods. I used olive oil, Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie and Ecostyler Argan Oil gel. I set it on dry hair. It came out pretty good!


I made my own leave in conditioner spray. I've been trying to save money when and where I can. So I combined olive, coconut and grapeseed oil in an old spray bottle and topped it off with water. I like it so far. This is the first time I've used grapeseed oil, but I hear it's very good on the hair so we'll see!

I also stocked up on Shea Moisture products again! This time CVS was having a buy one get one free sale! Can't pass up free! 


I got two of the deep treatment masques because I love it. The other two products are new for me.i haven't used the restorative conditioner yet, but I like that you can use it as a leave in or rinse out. I did use the JBCO though last night after washing and conditioning my hair and it's amazing! My hair still feels all nice and soft! I'll probably throw my hair back up in some protective style soon! 


Anyway that's everything. Lol! 

I hope you all are having a blessed holiday! 

Until next time....
