Kabob Fun

One of my favorite things to make is kabobs.  They are fun, healthy, quick, and creative!  Best of all, it's just the meal I need to get me out out of that winter blues funk.

Mosaic Table

 My husband, mother and I made this a few summers ago and it was a fun project!  We took a plain-looking round table and made it exciting!  The items used for this project were grout, about 15 colored tiles and 5 thin kitchen tiles.  

My First Layer Cake Attempt...and the Things I Learned!

 I LOVE my kitchen!  It's my favorite room of the house.  I have learned, however, that I am much better at cooking meals and baking small things rather than baking cakes.  This past weekend I made my first attempt at baking a layer cake.  In order to better explain the experience, I have compiled a short list of "dos" and "don'ts" of cake baking.  And, yes, this list reflects things that I learned......the hard way!  Enjoy!

Snuggly Warmers

I love shopping for flannel fabric.  There are a million adorable patterns to choose from, and it's relatively cheap! So it's no surprise that I love these things. The other pros: they are a breeze to make, and so useful that you'll want to make a ton of them for your friends.  It's as cheap as 1/4 yard of flannel fabric and about 3 cups of dry white rice.  These keep me warm on a cold day, or accompany me on a winter walk. Best of all, they can be made into any shape or size. so there's no wrong way to make it!

Let's be honest.  Cupcakes are amazing.  Equally amazing is the frosting on top.  So why not give the delicious sweetness a little color?
