sisters Strawberry Fruit Roll-Ups Homemade Strawberry Fruit Roll-Ups I was a fruit snack fanatic as a child. Every variety prompted a specialized approach as to how it was best enjoyed.

"One Good Thing" by Jillee: Aspirin & Lemon Juice Face Mask Beauty Secrets From Your Pantry! For months I have been hearing bits and pieces about how aspirin is actually good for your face???? Really?? As in take two and it won’t hurt so bad when you look in the mirror??? I had no idea what aspirin could actually do for your face until I finally stumbled across this “beauty secret” from Doctor Oz! I don’t watch his show and haven’t read any of his books….but every time I run across something of his online…I have never failed to be impressed! Since starting the Oil Cleansing Method of washing my face last month…overall I am MUCH happier with how my skin feels. Well, if Doctor Oz is to be believed, (I have no reason NOT to believe him at this point!) And the ingredients couldn’t be simpler! Dr Oz Aspirin and Lemon Juice Flawless Skin Home Remedy: Ingredients: - non-coated aspirin (coated is fine too, just takes longer to dissolve.) - fresh lemon juice - baking soda Instructions: 1. Simple huh? Here are a few question/answers that might be helpful:
Zef paneermeel en croutons maken Nu kost paneermeel niet veel, maar in het kader van zo min mogelijk weggooien is het toch leuk om het oude brood wat we toch hebben, een nieuwe bestemming te geven. Dus aan de slag paneermeel maken. Paneermeel maken. Neem de sneden, niet te dik, ( mooist is wittebrood maar elk brood kan natuurlijk) en snij de korsten eraf. Rooster de sneetjes een half uur bij 150 graden celsius. Met een broodrooster gaat het niet zo goed want dan blijven ze binnenin te zacht. Vermaal ze dan in een keukenmachine. Voordeel van eigen paneermeel: Je weet wat erin gaat en gehakt wordt minder droog. Natuurlijke in luchtdicht trommeltje/bakje bewaren. Beschuiten gaat nog sneller: even tegen elkaar wrijven en presto klaar. Voor grof paneermeel voor heel knapperige gepaneerde kip of vis neem wat grof fijngewreven cornflakes, naturel. Stokbrood: Snij het oude stokbrood in plakjes. Croûtons maken. Croûtons zijn lekkere gebakken blokjes brood. Besmeer beide kanten van de snee witte brood met fijngeknepen knoflook.
DIY: Mercury Glass {I finally tried this, you can see my results here} I'm catching up on a little light magazine reading because I'm finally DONE with finals this semester and that's about all I have the energy for! I'm so happy, but incredibly beat! Anyway, I saw this idea in Martha Stewart Living to make your own Mercury Glass and really want to try it. All you need is a couple of clear vases or votives, a spray bottle with water and mirror paint. Clean your vase or votive then cover the exteriors with paper. I love this idea! Has anyone tried this before? Olive Cheese Bread. Mmmmm, this is yummy. Three or four years ago, I prepared roasted beef tenderloin, tomato-basil pasta salad, roasted asparagus, and this olive cheese bread for a cattlewomen’s luncheon with over 200 hungry ladies in attendance. They loved the tenderloin (recipe coming soon), but what they really went gaga over was this olive cheese bread. The finished product does have quite a strong salty/olive flavor, so for anyone who’s not an olive fan, this might be a little strong. "Olive Cheese Bread"—the words alone make my mouth water. The Cast of Characters: French bread, green olives, black olives, green onions, butter, real (not low-fat or fat-free) mayonnaise, and Monterey Jack Cheese. Place one regular-sized can of black olives on a cutting board. Give them a rough chop. Do the same with a 6-oz jar of pimiento-stuffed green olives. Just give ‘em a rough chop; no need to go crazy. Now slice two green onions… Into thin pieces… Then give them a nice, rough chop all over. Add 1/2 cup mayonnaise.
How to Make a Terra Cotta Flower Pot Bird Bath You've seen them in magazines, on television and in books. Well, hunt no further. Here are complete instructions for you to make your own Terra Cotta Flower Pot Bird Bath. Your best bet for decorating terra cotta that will be used outdoors is Patio Paints. I know they are a little pricey, but they are fade resistant, non-toxic and designed for outdoor use. Another option for protecting your work would be a water-based polyurethane. For the saucer of your bird bath, try to find a waterproof type that won't require any treatment inside the bowl, where the water will go. One each, 12", 14", and 16" terra cotta flower pots One - 20" diameter clay saucer. Sand away any rough spots or loose clay particles on the rim, bottom edge, and outside of the pots and saucer. Seal the inside of all the pots, (and the saucer if it isn't waterproof), with oil-based polyurethane -2-3 coats.

How to Make Butter For someone who loves butter as much as I do, you'd think I would know more about it. Who knew people other than farmers could make butter? I honestly never thought about making butter until I saw an article in a local paper. But it looked so beautiful and fresh and mother-earth like that I had to try it. It's an amazingly short process and so much fun to watch the cream do it's thing - thick, thicker, thickest!! And if I was going to make my own butter, I had to make homemade buns to go with it. Even store bought butter and fresh bread is my personal version of heaven. Ingredients:2 cups heavy cream (whipping or heavier)pinch or two of salt, optionalWhat to do:1. 13. 14. Notes:By "rinsing" the curd with ice water, the butter may last up to 3 days.
Wall Art for Sienna's Room First off, let me just say, I really love photos printed onto a canvas. Really. I knew I wanted a set of them in Sienna's room, but as most of you know, we are still students so our decorating budget didn't exactly cover printing four 8"x10" photos onto a canvas. Thus, my idea was born. What you need: Canvas (however many you are using, I used 8x10's) White tissue paper (I only needed one regular sized sheet for four pictures) Printer *with ink* :) Regular printer paper Scissors Tape Mod-Podge Brush Step1: Take a piece of printer paper. Step 2: Trim up the side of the tissue paper so it's the same width as the width of the printer paper. Step 3: Put printer paper in the middle of the tissue paper so there is one half inch overflow on each side. Step 4: Perform a test on your paper in your printer, if you don't know what side it prints on. Step 5: Print off your picture to however big your canvas is, stand there while it prints to make sure it feeds through right. Step 6: Step 7: Step 8: Step 9:

To make your own low-bubbling detergent for both high efficiency and traditional machines, you need four ingredients: Borax, Washing Soda, Soap, and Water Borax and Washing soda can usually be found in the laundry aisle of any good grocery.

Powdered Laundry Soap: 2 cups finely grated soap (Ivory, Fels Naptha, Zote, homemade, or a combination) 1 cup borax 1 cup washing soda Mix and store in a coffee can or what have you.
