As the heat comes to an end and you reach for your favorite seasonal latte from Starbucks, let Indie Lee, creator of the eco-chic and all-natural skincare line, soothe your sun drenched skin and give you a flawless fall complexion with her DIY Pumpkin Pie Sugar Scrub. Inspired by the Indie Lee fan favorite Coconut Citrus Body Scrub, which will be returning to the line in October, this delightful DIY is as good as a slice of pie, but without the calories! Leaving you wrapped in a warm harvest scent, this amazing autumnal scrub will have you relaxed and ready for the crisp months ahead!

Hamburger and Rice Casserole Recipe

I love making a variety of casserole dinners for my family and I love making them to give as get well gifts when friends or family are ill. In my opinion, casseroles are always appreciated when someone is not feeling well & it saves them from cooking.

This hamburger and rice casserole is one that I make often for my own family and one that I like to make & give to others. It's really easy to prepare and tastes delicious. If you are pressed for time and want to reduce the cooking time...use cooked rice and bake the casserole for 12 to 15 minutes or until done.

Hamburger & Rice Casserole Recipe

1 lb. lean ground beef
1/2 cup uncooked rice
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 large carrots, finely diced
1 small clove garlic, minced
2 cups hot water
2 beef bouillon cubes
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Fry up the lean ground beef until it's done, drain away grease. Stir in the onions, carrots and minced garlic, simmer for an additional 3 minutes. In a small bowl, dissolve the beef bouillon cubes in hot water.  In a casserole dish, combine together the ground beef mixture, bouillon mixture, salt, ground black pepper and the rice. Cover baking dish.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place casserole dish into the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until done. Remove and serve immediately.
