Many Thanks, Lets bake!

Thank you to all my birthday well wishers. I REALLY don't feel my age and since 40 is the new 20....I'm only 19!

I had a wonderful weekend starting with my crafty girlfriends on friday night. On Saturday we took the older chickadees to Winter Jam. Hawk Nelson and Toby Mac. We also continued work on my B-day room (which I'm still hoping to post pics of this week). We had a slumber party and roasted weenies and marshmallows in the fire place. The little chicks found this to be great fun!Next weekend we are celebrating with my parents.So my diet has been having some trouble... I was hoping to keep the weight loss big, but who knew what one piece of cake could do. I had 2 cakes made for me so far... They were delicious!

With Superman taking the last 2 Mondays off my schedule has been out of whack. Today is usually my baking day, but I also had to throw in laundry. So this is what I accomplished:

2 Great Loaves and 1 little chef

The start of a Italian Baked Sandwhich

The finished product...

4 lunches for Superman. I like to put in different fillings, bake them and freeze. Then when he leaves for work he can pull one out of the freezer and reheat at work.

Filing ideas:

meatballs and cheese

pepperoni and veggies and cheese

ground beef, veggies and cheese

fajita mix and cheese

turkey and cheese

You see the common theme...cheese. It's very important;)

Looks so good! We love to dip em in ranch dressing!

When I worked at Joto's Pizza, I would make something like what you made but put grilled chicken, CHEESE (it's a MUST have I agree), and BBQ sauce.

P.O.O.P.I.E

People Opposing Objectionable Pretend plants in the Environment ! Okay folks it's been a week....which is way too long. Schooling 3 1/2 is a bit daunting at times. My other excuse.....I've been freaking out about lice for over a week. No, I didn't have it (this time around), but I've scratched myself raw over it! On to P.O.O.P.I.E.! Over at Nestor's she's done a short series on what's a good fake and what's not ( errr flowers that is). So after you take a peak at mine head over there and read hers and everyone else' poop (can I say that?), I mean blogs! Nesting Place is in my side bar if you need directions ( I wanted to put the button up, but have no clue). These are my year round fakies .... Superman gave me the floral arrangement about 12 years ago when we couldn't afford flowers, who am I kidding....we still can't! I did change out the pedestal urn they came in. My wonderful ivy on top of the cabinets. My chicks have always ha...

Facial Cleanser

We've been using a surprisingly wonderful face wash for about 6 months. Guess What it is? Olive & Castor Oil! I was really surprised at how well it works and you can customize the formula to you own needs. For people with T-zone, dry or oily conditions. At www.theoilcleansingmethod.com/ they give all the details. I used an old facial cleanser bottle and tweaked the instructions to fit our needs. -15% Castor oil -85% olive oil -Shake and place in shower with wash cloth. - Gently rub 1 to 2 pumpfuls into face, neck, ears etc. (before you get in) -Use the warmth of shower to open pores. -Heat wash cloth with water, place on face for a minute or so. Then gently rub off excess oil, make up and dirt. Like I said, we've been using this for 6 months or so. In that time I've had only 1 blemish ( I'm a t-zone). My face is so much smoother and softer and this is all I do. No more 3 parts, no extra lotions! The above recipe has worked well for dry and t-zone. So we only h...

Nitrate Free Pepperoni

I'm not sure if I should show you the picture or not. I tweaked a recipe from Tammy's Recipes and it is quite tasty. BUT (and it's kind of a big BUT) the color is just not right. So the pepperoni looks a little grey (gross) but again taste SUPER! So here goes nothing.... nitrate free pepperoni See how gray it looks? That's because I used Real Salt (sea salt) instead of curring salts which have all the nitrates and fake pink color (they do this so people won't mistake it for table salt). That pink dye also gives sausages of all types that nice color we are all so used too. All the flavor was still in there and I figured if I'm making this homemade I want it to be as healthy as possible for my family. So why would I add the nitrates? Because I didn't use the pink salt I can't just leave this out in my pantry like you could with some of the store bought stuff. If you do to try this recipe and decide to go "all natural" please make sure that you ...
