#happyhandmade week 93: my favorites

Every Wednesday on the Daft Crafts blog, there is a #happyhandmade link up where handmade shop owners can share up to three product links and are asked to share at least three of the other products on social media with the hashtag "#happyhandmade."

In no particular order, here are my favorites from this week:

This adorable, geeky gamer onesie from Evangelina's Closet. There's even a coupon code featured in her shop for 10% off purchases!

This You Are My Sunshine chalkboard art from Life's Gems.

I really, really like this music note ornament from AngelCraftsShop.

And this Batman themed plush dragon from Plum Papaya would make my "Bamban" loving 2 ¹/₂ year old son ecstatic.

As for myself, I linked up the kitschy cat themed set from my shop. The set of four coasters and two trivets makes a great housewarming or bridal shower gift for the crazy cat lady in your life. 

Be sure to head over to the link up and check out all the handmade goodness that shop owners from all over have contributed to. Click on your favorites, make wishlists or even order from these small businesses and support handmade.

Recipe Wednesday: Burrito Bowls

Burrito bowls are a favorite in our house. They're quick, relatively inexpensive, have lots of variation and just plain yummy! We most often eat it with seasoned ground beef, but I've done diced chicken before as well. Vegetarian or pork are other options that would work well. Use what your tastebuds prefer. 

BURRITO BOWLS

Ingredients

Prepared cilantro rice

Approximately ¹/₂ lb ground beef

Taco seasoning

Salsa

Black beans

Sweet corn

Mexican cheese blend

Sour cream
Any other burrito toppings that you desire

Directions

1. Follow the directions for preparing rice, but add dried cilantro with the water and butter. (I use chicken stock in place of the water and no butter for burritos.) If you prefer fresh cilantro, then cook the rice first and mix in cilantro after cooking.

2. While the rice is cooking, brown and season, to your liking, the ground beef. Heat up your black beans and corn as well.

3.Put desired amount of rice in your bowl, top with beef, beans and corn (and any other toppings you desire). Sprinkle cheese over top.

4. Add salsa and sour cream, if desired. Enjoy!
