Watermark Tee by Sweet Verbana - StumbleUpon Hello U-Create readers! I am so excited to be guest posting here today. It just so happens to be my first guest post and I'm still a little shocked that it's here at Ucreate, one of my favorite blogs! A little bit about me.. I'm from a little town called Keller, Texas. I'm a junior at Texas A&M University (whoop!). I'm working on my education degree and expect to be an elementary school teacher in just two short years. When I'm not busy studying for classes, I love to sew. I just started blogging in May and have already met all kinds of wonderful women, I hope you'll stop by and say hi too! Watermark Tee Tutorial What I love about this project is that it's completely customizable. Materials: Elmer's Blue Gel Glue (it must be the blue gel, white won't work) Fabric Dye (RIT is my tried and true brand) A white cotton Tee, Tank, Dress etc. Tutorial: If you're unfamiliar with Batiking, it's a method of dyeing fabric in which you create a design with a dye- resist. Step 1: Prepare Step 2: Design
Sante Fe Chicken Salad | Eclectic Recipes One of the things I’m still craving after our McDonald’s Blogher trip over last summer is Southwestern Chicken Salads. The Chicago on campus McDonald’s had the best McDonald’s food I’ve ever had. It was practically five star compared to our local McDonald’s or any other McDonald’s I’ve ever been to (not that we frequent McDonald’s that much). My son even asks regularly to go to Chicago McDonald’s. Notice I didn’t say the McDonald’s down the street. So to fulfill my cravings for the perfect Southwestern Chicken salad, that would require either moving to Chicago or a very expensive plane ticket every time I got a craving, I decided to make my own Sante Fe chicken salad version.
Crab and Corn Cakes Sheri Giblin total prep I absolutely love crab cakes, but I don’t make them often because lump crab is not cheap. Adding corn helps stretch the crab and makes the cost a little more reasonable. This makes eight good-sized crab cakes, which is plenty for a meal for four or an appetizer for eight. Recipe from The First Real Kitchen Cookbook by Megan & Jill Carle/Chronicle Books, 2011. 2 red bell peppers 2 large eggs 1 jalapeño pepper 3 green onions 8 oz fresh lump crab meat 1 cup corn kernels 1 cup dry bread crumbs 2 tbsp fresh lime juice Salt and pepper 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup sour cream 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper 2 tbsp canola oil Place the red bell peppers/capsicums directly on the burner of a gas stove or under the broiler of an electric stove.

Popsicles! Not to sound full of myself, but I’m pretty sure this is the be all, end all of popsicle roundups. There’s a little something for everyone: the foodies, the purists, the ones who prefer frozen yogurt, the ones who prefer a little alcohol, everyone. Tweny-five options to be exact. The post I did last summer on the cold guys was one of DC’s most viewed ever, so I thought you’d all be up for another round – was I right? Click on the photo to be taken to the recipe.

How To Build A Fireball You Can Hold&Video - StumbleUpon Espresso Chocolate Mousse | Flour Child Last night, it rained. It sounded like magic and love and dreaming and soup and kittens. I put on my fluffiest sweatshirt and cuddled up in bed and watched super classy shows like Jersey Shore and Teen Mom 2. Keepin’ things elegant, you know. No amount of Gossip Girl was going to help me and I knew it, so I gave in. It’s like eating chocolate clouds off a spoon. Espresso Chocolate Mousse 4 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, cut into pieces 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder 2 large eggs, seperated 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar 3 tablespoons superfine sugar, divided 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream Set a medium sized bowl in the freezer- you will use this later to whip the cream. In a medium sized bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, melt the chocolate, butter, and espresso powder. In yet another medium sized bowl, whip the two egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until foamy. Eat some chocolate today. Jordana
Cinnamon Roll Waffles | recipegirl.com Cinnamon Roll Waffles I’ve had a tough time forgetting about those Cinnamon Roll Pancakes that I posted a few weeks ago. So much so that I started wondering what else I could do to replicate the Cinnamon Roll. “Why not waffles, too?” I thought. I experimented… but it was a flop. I went with a buttermilk waffle… plain, with no cinnamon filling added. I drizzled the cinnamon-sugar filling on top. I figured… why not? My ideal cinnamon roll always has cream cheese icing, so a cream cheese icing drizzle was in order too. Lots of cream cheese icing, please. I could hardly wait to take a bite… to see if this whole Cinnamon Roll Waffle thing worked out. That’s about all I could eat.
