Recipe Sharing Monday - Meat and Rice

I got this recipe from a friend of mine I used to work with and all she called it was Meat and Rice.  I thought it needed a fancier name when I put it on my blog but I like the simplicity of the name she gave it :)


I made it the first time last week and it made A LOT!!  I was able to make 2 meals out of it.  The first night, I made it just like the recipe says.  The second night, I added some alfredo sauce and some more garlic.  Enjoy!


Meat and Rice
1 lb. ground meat - you can also use ground turkey
1 smoked sausage - diced (I used a hot link to give it some more spice)
1 medium bell pepper - diced
1/2 medium onion - diced
1 can diced tomatoes
1 1/2 C. Minute rice
2 C. water
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning

Brown meat and cook sausage - set aside and keep warm.
In the same skillet as meat was cooked, boil water, canned tomatoes, seasonings, onions and bell pepper.  Simmer until tender.  Add rice and cover off burner for 5 minutes.
Add meat/sausage and warm back up.  Add grated cheese on top.

For the 2nd night, I put it all in a skillet and covered with 3/4 can of alfredo sauce until it was completely warmed up.

Nail Files and a Giveaway

Today I'm linking up with Tara and Vicki  for their fabulous linkup party, The Nail Files. Essie : Turquoise and Caicos Julep : Ivy Annnnd...I'm doing something a little special for my readers today - a nail polish giveaway!!  I am admittedly copying Christina over at Easily Entertained .  :) She recently did a nail polish giveaway (that I missed out on..boo) and I thought what a GREAT way to get rid of some of my overflowing collection of polishes!!! You will win 8 bottles of nail polish including brands: OPI, CHI, Ulta, Avon, 2 Glitter Pots from Julep, and an Ulta Lipgloss! I apologize for the lighting - I will try to get a better picture and upload it. All of these polishes are slightly used (maybe 2 or 3 times) except for the CHI brand and the green Ulta one - those have never been used.  The glitter pots and the lipgloss are also brand spankin' new. a Rafflecopter giveaway

TRIA Hair Removal Laser

Ok...I'm just going to jump right into this.  Let's talk about hair.  I'm not talking about the hair on your head that you want people to see and love.  I'm talking about the unwanted hair that you loathe and want noone to see!  Embarrassing subject?  Yep!!  I have a medical condition called PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) that has many, many side effects that makes it extremely difficult to get preggers but that's another subject we won't get into right now.  One of the most annoying effects being facial hair!!  There, I said it.  Since high school I've had to deal with this embarrassing situation.  Back then, I hated it and I would cry because I thought I was the only one dealing with this.  Now that I'm older (and wiser), I can laugh about it.  And the more I talk to people about it, the more I realize women everywhere are dealing with this "lady with the beard" issue.  I seriously could join a circus, people....
