Arizona Chili-Cheese Rolls

Believe it or not, but my husband doesn't care for sweets...
 What's wrong with him?

 He would rather have an extra helping of mashed potatoes and gravy, over pie and ice cream. I have been pondering on a special treat to make him.  I was Really, Really surprised how yummy my creation turned out. So I wanted to share it with everyone.
 This recipe you will not want to pass up!!

First, start out with Briana's Good Ol' White Bread Recipe.  

While the dough in kneading, saute' 1/2 finely chopped onion in 1 TBS of butter until it turns clear. Once the dough is done mixing, divide it in half and roll it out just like you would when you make cinnamon rolls. About 24" x 12" x 1/2" thick. Spread 1 small can of chopped green chilies, 3/4 c. shredded cheddar or colby-jack cheese, 1/4 c. bacon crumbles, and the saute' onions evenly around the rolled dough. 

Now gently roll it up, slice the rolls about every 3 inches, and place in a lightly greased 9 x 13 pan. 

Bake in a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees for 20-25 min. 

With the other half of the dough you can either make a loaf of bread, or roll into balls and make dinner rolls, or make a batch of cinnamon rolls. 

Birchbox Love

I recently joined Birchbox!  I have heard of Birchbox before and put it on my list of things to do or sign up for later.  Now that I have signed up, and received a couple boxes in the mail, I'm sad that I put it off until later. 

Birchbox is a great way to discover new beauty and lifestyle products.  You can subscribe to the monthly box for $10 per month and that includes shipping!  And then every month, they will send you a box full of samples and even an occasional full-size product to try out.  Then you can earn points buy purchasing products and referring friends to get more products for free!

So this last Birchbox that I received had two full size products: a lip crayon and under eye rollerball!  And the samples are so much fun as well!  There was cologne, face cleanser, hair product and more!  You should definitely consider giving Birchbox a try!  You will love it!

I also bought the Special Edition Garden Birchbox!  Occasionally, they offer Special Edition boxes that you can order separate from the monthly subscription.  The Garden one was so fun with seeds, lotion, a cutting knife (for all the fruits and veggies from your garden), a notepad, cologne, a candle and more.  And the packaging is so cute!  It's like getting a fun gift from a friend!  I love it!

So what are you waiting for?  Don't regret waiting to order, like I did.  Try it now and see just how fun it is!

NOTE:  There is a waiting list to join the monthly subscription, but the wait isn't very long.  :)

Printer Ink Tip

I always wondered if paying for a XL ink cartridge would be worth the money. A regular HP 60 cartridge is around $19 and a HP 60 XL is about $34. 

So I put it to the test...

I took a small labeling sticker and dated it when I put the new cartridge in. Then when I was out of ink I dated it again. Almost every time the regular cartridges lasted one month exactly while the XL had about a 3 month duration. 

So is it worth the money?

Here is the breakdown...

If you buy a Regular ink cartridge for $19 x 3 months= $57

While the XL $34 lasted 3 months= $34

I think so. 

Disclaimer: Now all printer ink cost differently at different stores, and everyone uses their printer at different frequencies than others. So give it a try and see if the XL cartridges are worth your money. 

Let us know how it works for you.
