Lookout World...

...

I've started scrapbooking!

As you might know, one of my goals for 2012 is to make a Miller scrapbook. So I began that project recently and I am having a blast!

Here are some photos!



I'm having a blast! 

Anyone have any scrapbooking tips or tricks to share?

All for now,

Window Garden

I have decided to start making some shorter posts.
{in between the longer ones}
Kind of like tumblr, or pinning or something
but on the blog. :)

Enjoy!

Window Garden


we've got {left to right}: rosemary, an orchid, recovering parsley, some kind of flower ..., and MORE parsley!

I love it! It livens up our room!

All for now!

Miller Famous Vegetarian Enchiladas!

Here is the recipe for my "Miller Famous" vegetarian enchiladas! My vegetarian, semi vegetarian and healthy kitchens all loved this recipe! I have even had a few girls from Homestyle kitchens over and they love it too! Consider making it for a meatless meal day Miller girls! :)

Alex's Vegetarian Enchiladas
{Borrowed and adapted from College Vegetarian Cooking

Serves 4-6 

1 onion
2 T butter
3 C frozen corn kernals
1 tsp ground cumin
1 C sour cream
1 {4 oz} can chopped green chiles
2 C mixed grated Cheddar and Jack cheeses
2 cups salsa {never enough! I usually buy two jars}
2 cans black beans {rinsed and drained}
12 large tortillas {any type, I like whole wheat best}
{In these photos I added thyme to the recipe because I had some, so feel free to play with it}

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2) Peel the onion and chop into 1/2 inch pieces. Place the butter in a large skilled over medium high heat and add the onion, corn and black beans. Cook, stirring frequently, for 10-12 minutes or until the onion is translucent. Remove from the heat and stir in the cumin, sour cream, green chiles, and one cup of the cheese.


 3) Spread about 1/3 of the salsa in the bottom of an ungreased 9 by 13 inch pan. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the onion-corn-bean filling into the center of a tortilla, then roll up the tortilla around the filling and place the enchilada in the pan seam side down. 


 4) Repeat with the rest of the tortillas. Pour the remaining salsa over the enchiladas and sprinkle with 1 cup of cheese (or more!)Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately!

 5) enjoy!

I forgot to get an end result picture.. but they are delicious I promise! :)

Back to KU, Back to Miller.

Miller Hall is my home away from home, I've been back for a little over a week and am getting settled back in. Here are some pictures of my room (before the messiness sets in). I will be updating periodically as I photograph other favorite parts of Miller.
My desk space!
My row of pictures! Some of my favorites!
My stationary and jewelery box. Look how cute that Matroshka doll is! Its stationary!!
The desk top itself. Bulletin board covered with most of my favorite people. Note: Grayson (the Kangaroo Keeper, so cute!) and the Kandinsky laptop skin!
My tea tray, very European :) Teapot and matching cup from Urban courtesy of my Big Sis Staci! Rose courtesy of Kyle <3 
My Antique Mall find! How cute is this lamp!!??!?!
All for now, I hope you enjoyed a glimpse into my space at Miller. Hopefully I can keep it clean... :)
