Blueberry Martini Jello Shots – NYC | Bionic Bites Blueberry Martini Jello Shots My friend Chris invited me to a barbecue last weekend, and wanting to be a good BBQ guest like Deb at Smitten Kitchen, I offered to bake a pie. It turns out, though, no one who was attending the BBQ was very excited at the prospect of pie. Who would’ve thunk it?! I didn’t want to make regular jello shots though, I mean my college days are far behind me. I made a few modifications to the recipe to make my life easier. The jello shots were a hit at the BBQ, especially amongst the girls. I can’t wait to experiment with these jello shots. Blueberry Martini Jello Shots (Adapted from an adapted recipe by the LA Times for Blueberry martini jelly shots at Bar Nineteen 12) Total time: 25 minutes, plus overnight chilling Servings: About 20 Shots (more if you use 1/2 ounce molds instead of an ice tray) 10 1/2 ounces Stoli Blueberry vodka 2 ounces simple syrup* (add more if blueberries are sour) 3 1/2 (1/4 ounce) packets of gelatin powder 1. 2. 3.

Caramel Apple Jello Shots [With Real Apples] Can you believe I actually spend time trying to figure out what kinds of food could be used as a vessel for jello shots? I'm not a lush I swear ... although my blog would have you totally fooled. It's just that, after filling lemons, limes, oranges and strawberries with vodka infused jello, I knew there had to be something else ... So we tried apples... and guess what? YUM. (If you wanted something with a little bit more alcohol content you could always try them out with Van Gogh Dutch Caramel Vodka instead of butterscotch schnapps) Or for a kid friendly, non-alcoholic version just use cold water mixed with two tablespoons of caramel syrup instead of butterscotch schnapps or vodka! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

She's Crafty: Feather Hair Extensions | M.I.S.S. I almost freaked out when my 10-year-old girl asked me if she could get red highlights. “But the other girls have it,” she pleaded. Honey, I’m sorry, but if I’m not getting highlights, then you sure ain’t either! Feathers are all the rage, especially since Spring 2011 trends are summoning the whole laid-back bohemian vibe. I started my search by looking up rooster saddle feathers through sporting goods stores, because the feathers are generally used for fly fishing. Gather up your materials, ladies, and let’s get fly!

How to Make a Dollhouse Out of Drawers I wanted a beat-up nightstand. Not for traditional nightstand use, which, in my case, would mean holding an absurd amount of water glasses. I need water every night, but refuse to be a responsible adult and deliver my glass to the kitchen sink every morning. I needed it for another project (which I will reveal to you soon, I hope). But, I didn’t need the drawers. Hmm, what to do, what to do. 1) Get some nightstand drawers. 2) Measure and cut plywood to fit as shelves. 3) Attach the drawers together. 4) Spray paint! 5) Mod Podge some cutie wallpaper, carpeting, a roof, a few windows. Before I show you the final results, a little sidebar. Wrong. Okay, fine. “Why so serious?” These extremely frightening dolls are being banished to the deck we do not speak of in hopes that they’ll be eaten in the middle of the night by raccoons or baby pterodactyls. Alright, moving on. The two-sided dollhouse: perfect for sharing with a friend. :) Thanks for looking!
