Desert Ironwood and Elk Antler Jewelry -- and More
A bit about Sheilah:
We love love making things, going places and eating great food. We're currently in Cheyenne, Wyoming - we love the Front Range and all it has to offer, everything from excellent coffee in downtown Denver to hiking in the Snowies to following dinosaur tracks in the Black Hills.
Much of our jewelry is made with nickel-silver, an alloy of nickel, zinc and copper that has a deep sheen and polishes to a high gleam. We also use several composite minerals, such as malachite, red jasper and onyx.

We use ground-harvested western elk antler in some of our jewelry as well. Elk shed their antlers every year in the late fall as part of their natural mating cycle. People in Wyoming and other western states wander through the wilderness picking up the dropped antlers to be used for jewelry, furniture and decorations.

Desert Ironwood is one of the rarest and most beautiful hardwoods in North America. Desert ironwood is similar to cats-eye stone in its translucency and has a lovely, intricate grain. The nickel-silver pattern in the jewelry is hand-inlaid into the ironwood.

Nothing but goodness

Spring has arrived and my eating habits begin to lean towards lighter healthier dishes. Lots of cold dishes, made with beans, veggies etc. and samiches: Tofu, avocado and sprouts, peanut butter and tomato, asparagus and habanero cheese. Weird? I like to think of it as "unique" lol
Oh and one of my most fave things to eat this time of year is tuna salad made with red onion and curry ~ scoop into a halved avocado. Try it, you won't be disappointed! 
Anyway I wanted to share 2 Delicious recipes great for spring and summer.
Both are easily adaptable to your likes and taste so don't be afraid to leave something out or add to it!


TEXAS CAVIAR
1 can black beans
1 can black eyed peas
1 can white corn (I replace this with garbanza beans for my tastes)
1 cup diced green peppers (I used red and orange instead)
1 cup diced red onions
1 cup diced celery


Drain all canned products and combine all above ingredients in a bowl, Set aside.


DRESSING:
1 cup vegetable oil (I replaced with mixture of olive/grape seed oil)
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup sugar (I cut this to 1/4)
1/2 tsp salt


Mix dressing separately and pour over bean mix. Refrigerate for at least a few hours, but better overnight. Drain dressing before serving. 
Great as a side dish, scooped inside a pita pocket or as a "dip" served with tortillas or fritos 

This second recipe was shared via tweetheart Sheilah on twitter.

I just got the chance to try this recipe out~it is awesome goodness! 
Every ingredient compliments the other creating a delightful flavor experience.


CURRIED SWEET POTATO SALAD
3 large sweet potatoes, cooked, peeled and dieced
3 stalks celery, diced
1/2 cup pecans (I threw a bit more in, I love pecans!)
2 tbls mango chutney, chopped
1 tbl orange juice concentrate, thawed or 1 tbl orange marmalade (I used the concentrate)
1/2 cup sour cream or substitute
1/2 cup mayo or substitute
1 1/2 tsp good quality curry powder 
salt and pepper to taste


Stir it all together and chill at least an hour for flavors to combine. (I mixed all the wet ingredients in a separate bowl then mixed it with the potatoes, celery and pecans)
It works best if the sweet potatoes are still warm when all the ingredients are mixed.
This is a fabulous side to grilled salmon! 


Bon appetit!!
