DIY Chair Reupholster
Remember when we first moved to Rexburg? And we bought those so-ugly-they're-almost-cute-but-still-actually-pretty-ugly chairs? They were $4 dollars at D.I.
I always said I was going to recover them, but they just kept being ugly. Then one time while we were roaming the isles of Hobby Lobby, I found this cute gray and yellow fabric.
So then I pulled everything apart and spray painted the frame with a nickel finish.
I cut out the foam and stapled up a storm.
I screwed the cushion back onto the frame and tada!
Back in it's home.
I think it's a lot better looking than it was before. Maybe a little too thick, but it's comfy. :)

Stuffed Peppers
Before I even started cooking this I knew it was going to be good. So I documented it.
After I cooked it, I realized it was awesome. The only thing I would change is use canned tomatoes like the recipe called for, it would make it a little more...juicy.
 |
| This is what I used. I don't know what kind of peppers those are. They were given to me. |
 |
| I cooked the qinuoa, then added chopped onion, garlic, black beans(about 3/4 can) and corn (3/4 can). Oh and chopped tomato. And some cumin, chili powder and some cilantro. |
 |
| While the quinoa was cooking, I sliced the peppers and took out the seeds |
 |
| Stuffed 'em and put on some cheese |
 |
| Topped with guacamole.
I've seen some people cook the pepper until the skin is black. Then pull off the black part, and stuff 'em. I don't know if there's a difference.
But, it was really good. Try it!
