Turn Your Cheese boxes into Craft Boxes
Brie is a wonderful cheese - and it comes in this light wooden box! With a little fabric, you can have some cute storage boxes for all sorts of little things!
Measure out your fabric
and cut it out
This particular cheese box needed a coat of paint
The paint I used was from my nursery school so I needed a couple of coats! 
On one box I left the sides plain because it didn't have any writing on it, and it looked fine. On the huge (Christmas!) brie box - I used a coordinating fabric on the band. 
and another
in the center of the box. Glue or use a sealer to keep the fabric in place - and you've got some cute crafty boxes!
Sew on and Sew on!

This one is even a summer crock pot recipe! It's from Martha's Stewart's former magazine Every Day Food
It's Greek Stuffed Peppers and it's a keeper!
It's Greek Stuffed Peppers and it's a keeper!
Four colorful peppers, hollowed out and stuffed with couscous, white beans and feta cheese. The feta cheese is what made it super tasty
after I mixed the simple ingredients, stuff the peppers 
plug in the crock pot - and walk away!
They came out flavorful and pretty too! Even the football boys didn't complain about a meatless meal! I paired it with a plate of cucumbers in a yogurt dressing. Yum!
Greek Stuffed Peppers from Martha Stewart;s Every Day Foods
Serves 4 Level: Easy Prep: 10 mins Cook time: 4 hours
4 large bell peppers
1 can cannellini beans
1 cup feta cheese (4 oz)
1/2 cup couscous
4 scallions
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
Slice a very thin slice off the bottom of each pepper to help it stand up in the crock pot after spraying with non stick cooking spray. Save these slices and the tops of the peppers and cut them into bite sized pieces. Mix with remaining ingredients and stuff the peppers. Pop the crock pot top on and cook on high for 4 hours.
Now you've got 4 hours to go do something besides cooking!
