Tie Dyed Rice Crispy Treats – Easter Style
One of those treats that everyone likes and are super easy are Rice Crispy Treats! They are super yummo but aren’t very festive. Well, I saw these Neon Food Colors at Kroger and I had an “A-HA” moment. What if I dyed the cereal and then made the Rice Cripsy Treats? Do you think this…
Chow Mein Noodle Candy Nests
Are you often times inspired by something your mom used to make when you were growing up? I am all the time! This Easter goodie is one of those. My mom was a member of a Homemaker’s Club that met once a month. After one of these meetings, she came home and made some Chow…
Drunken Chicken – J Gumbo Inspired
Do you have a favorite restaurant? A favorite “cuisine”? I believe it was this past fall that J.Gumbo’s opened their cajun restaurant in Delaware, OH. Well, let me tell you, the first time my husband and sons had lunch there, it was love at first bite! Their chicken dishes are like a stewed, pulled chicken delight that…
Spa Day Saturday – Whipped Mounds Bar Body Butter
My huge obsession with making my own body products began with my 3 Ingredient Body Butter that was followed shortly by my Origins Inspired Whipped Body Cream. Both of these goodies include beeswax (a great emulsifier), oils and water/tea. However, I’ve been reading that including water in your health and beauty products make them vulnerable to mold resulting…
Simple Toe Up Knit Footies
Even though Mother Nature didn’t read the memo that spring arrived 2 days ago, I sure did. Along with spring comes wearing capris and shorts which means it’s time to put the long socks away and bring out the footies. This is a pair of socks I knitted up for my amazing daughter in honor…
Beer Bread – Rye Style!
Julie of White Lights on Wednesday and Jen of Four Marrs One Venus host a cooking challenge called “Get Your Chef On”. This is a bi-monthly party where Julie and Jen choose an ingredient to be showcased in your recipe. What is super cool about their event is you don’t have to make a unique recipe. You are also…
Pi Clock (from an Old LP)
I have to admit, I love nerds. In fact I married one and my two boys are definitely nerds. My daughter, is like me, loves nerds too! So, needless to say, puns, are definitely a big part of our household. My husband is definitely the ring leader. In fact, my husband actually figured out when…
Spa Day Saturday – Make Your Own Non-Petroleum Jelly
If you thought my obsession with DIY lotions and potions was over, you’re mistaken. I’m still having a blast experimenting with oils, beeswax, fragrances, and more. My most recent experience was inspired by…. Multi-Purpose Un-Petroleum Jelly from Alba Botanica The ingredient list includes castor oil, coconut oil, vitamin E oil, and beeswax. Simple enough. Now, it’s just…
Shamrock Cocoa
Does anyone know how to appease the technology gods? Specifically, how to appease the digital camera gods? I made the mistake of taking pictures of my amazing Pi Day project and saving them internally, not on an SD card. Well, big mistake ’cause I still can’t download them. My camera is currently at a photography…
