Directions

Preheat oven to 400° F.

Cream together sugar and butter, in a large bowl.

Beat in eggs and vanilla extract.

Stir in flour, baking powder and salt.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate one hour or more [even overnight.]

Flour your work surface.
Cut the dough in half or thirds.

Roll out a piece of dough using a rolling pin, making the dough ¼ to ½ inch thick.
Tip: Keep counters clean – easy cleanup – with silicon baking mats.

Cut shapes out of the dough using cookie cutters.

Bake them on an ungreased cookie sheet, 1 inch apart, for 6 – 8 minutes until lightly golden brown on the edges. Do not over-bake.
Tip: I tend to burn cookies so I use Air-Bake Natural Cookie Sheets.
Perfect every time!

Cool.

Cozy Breakfast Nook Ideas

Cozy breakfast nooks #homedecor

Breakfast nooks are a cozy way to start the day. Situated, most of the time, near a kitchen or dining area window, breakfast nooks give you that indoor-outdoor feel. Serve up a hearty meal or simply a hot cup of coffee, and enjoy!

Some breakfast nooks utilize a built in window seat on one or more sides. Others place the table right next to an outside wall. Either way, they save floor space and actually make the room feel bigger.

How To Butter A Skillet The Easy Way

Leave a Comment

It is very simple to butter a skillet but this is how to butter a skillet the easy way!

How to butter a skillet the easy way #tips

The goal should be to spread the melted butter evenly over the surface of your frying pan without the butter burning.

This blog contains Amazon affiliate links. ♥

.

It sounds like it should be simple to do but that is not necessarily so. I have tried buttering a frying pan using just butter on a knife, but the butter didn’t spread evenly. Then I tried pressing a spatula onto the butter and rubbing it around. I still could not reach every part of the pan’s surface.

 

Another technique is to drop a wad of butter into the skillet, allowing the butter to melt by itself.  Of course, I’ve tried that way as well. As the butter melted, I moved the frying pan around to get it to cover. The results were just so-so. Often it took too much butter to do it and sometimes, when I put the skillet back on the burner, the butter began to change color. It was starting to burn.

So, this buttered bread method quickly became my favorite. It works perfectly every time.

.

non stick skillet

.

.

How To Butter A Skillet The Easy Way

Turn the burner of your stove on medium.

Place the cold skillet on the burner.

Tear a piece off a slice of bread at least 3 inches square.

Slice off a pat of butter and place it on the bread.

Holding the piece of bread in your hand, wipe the butter side of the bread all over the cooking surface of the skillet.

You now have a perfectly even coating of melted butter in your pan!

.

Spreading butter in a skillet is so easy this way! #tips.

.

Of course, there are other ways to prepare a skillet for cooking. You can spray it with non-stick pan cooking spray or even use cooking oil instead of butter. In our household, we prefer the buttery taste and, since our non-stick skillets have begun to age a little bit, we use butter every time to keep food from sticking. [In theory, brand new non-stick skillets shouldn’t need greasing at all.]

Upcycled Pocket Denim Organizer by Pillar Box Blue

Do you love DIY? How about organizers and storage? If you said “yes” to any of those, then you are going to LOVE this upcycled, DIY denim pocket wall organizer! It has been pinned a zillion times, proving that I am not alone in loving this project from Pillar Box Blue!

Denim Pocket Organizer – Pillar Box Blue

The first time I saw a Claire Armstrong project, it was her ultra-popular denim pocket wall organizer made from blue jeans.  Soon as it caught my eye, I couldn’t get away from it. It was just so cute. Such a brilliant idea. I must have pinned it at least 5 times -maybe more- because I didn’t want to lose track of it. I think everybody did!

Next, I was browsing through the entries at our weekly blog hop and came across an awesome project. It was a “how-to on making burlap luggage bag-tag  PILLOWS from a map” tutorial. The pillows have that vintage flavor to them, like you’d just found them in grandpa’s attic. But they aren’t old. Claire made them!

Loaded Low Carb Cheese Crisps That Will Change Your Life!

8 Comments

Hey, low carb dieters, do you miss crackers? Do you miss baked potatoes? Do you miss potato skins? This fabulous creation – cheese crisps – can satisfy all those cravings. When it comes to loving your low carb diet, this recipe can be a game-changer!

 

This blog contains Amazon affiliate links. ♥

 

The crisp is very low carbohydrate and high protein:  cheese and egg whites. The toppings are up to you. When I made this batch I was going for the “potato skins” experience so I loaded them up with sour cream, bacon, green onions and guacamole.

 

I found the basic recipe, which I share with you below, 2 Ingredient Cheese Crisps on Lynsey’s blog:  Moscato Mom. It sounded so good.

 

I did not have a mini-muffin pan so I swerved to the other end of the spectrum and used my new non-stick jumbo muffin pan. As long as you spread the batter thinly, they bake very well.

 

The crisps come out of the pan perfectly but they are not strong enough to dip so I loaded the toppings by spooning them on. Then I could handle them like an appetizer and just pop them in my mouth.

Amazing loaded cheese crisps - a low carb dieter's dream come true! #lowcarb #lowcarbdiet #keto #THM Share on X

 

Alert:  the loaded cheese crisps taste so good that, if you aren’t sharing them with someone else, you can easily eat them all yourself.  I did!  They were my lunch and I loved every low-carb bit of them! 

 

Loaded Low-Carb Cheese Crisps

Ingredients

1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Colby-jack cheese

2 egg whites

Toppings

Cooked bacon cut into pieces

Green onion – sliced into pieces

Guacamole

Sour Cream

jumbo non stick muffin tin

Glad Jumbo Muffin Pan Nonstick – Heavy Duty Metal Cupcake Tin with Large Baking Cups, Jumbo 6-Cup

 

 

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°

Spray large muffin tin with pan spray

Beat 2 egg whites slightly.

Add shredded cheese.

Combine and spoon evenly into 6 muffin tins.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are getting slightly brown.

Cool 2-3 minutes.

Gently remove, prying them up from the edge using a fork or knife.

Spoon on your favorite toppings and enjoy.

 

*This recipe fits well on the Keto diet and also works for Trim Healthy Mama’s THM-S meals.

Letter C is for Cat Preschool Lesson and Craft

Leave a Comment

Children are fascinated by cats and my preschoolers are no exception. The Letter C is for Cat preschool lesson was super-fun.  We  learned fun facts about cats, sung about cats and made a colorful cat craft. We even pretended to be cats, meowing all the way.

I don’t have a cat. Until preparing my preschool lesson, the little I knew about them came from old movies I had seen like “That Darn Cat” or “The Three Lives Of Thomasina” … both timeless classics of the Disney variety (1960’s.)

I do know that little children are fascinated by cats and learning the letter C is so much fun  when cats are the topic!

Letter C is for Cat Preschool Lesson

We learned about cats in many ways. We made kitty ear headbands to wear, read a cat book, learned fun facts about cats, saw a cat video, painted faces with cat whiskers, sang a cat song and made a letter C cat craft with pom poms. Here is a simple description of the lesson with free printables plus the video for you to use.

  • Make Cat Headbands – simply attach construction paper “kitty ears” to a construction paper band, taped to fit their heads. I printed the ears on white copy paper for them to color and the students cut them out.  We wore our cat headbands all day!

Letter C is for Cat preschool crafts and lesson; cat, kitten, crafts

 

  • Face Painting – we saved face painting until later in the day so that when the parents arrived to pick their children up at the end of the day they could see how cute they looked. The kids who wanted us to paint whiskers on their faces and a dot on their noses, could. I brought in a handheld mirror for them to see what they looked like. About half of my students wanted http://amzn.to/2yNASVShttps://amzn.to/3o1wPiRit and half did not.

  • Letter C Cat Craft – this craft is very colorful. I really like the one I found on Pinterest using “cat colored” pom poms but all I had were the multicolored. No problem. It was still fun to make. (Instructions below)
  • All about Cats lesson / discussion – I made a page, printed it on card stock and used it as a visual aid to talk about the different characteristics of house cats. I covered each fact with a piece a paper to tear off as they correctly guessed it. So much fun! (Free printable below) Fun Facts About Cats by Science Kids

CATS LOVE toys.

CATS LOVE to scratch & climb.

CATS love to eat.

CATS PURR when they’re happy.

 

  • All about Cats short video – this video is a great companion for the Cats lesson. Perfect for 3 and 4 year olds. See it right here!

  • Cat story – I brought in several cat books from the library. Some were picture books and some were stories.
  • Soft Kitty Song – yes, many of us learned this little song from Big Bang Theory. Sheldon’s mom sung it to him whenever he was sick or could not sleep. Perfect song for sweet little children. Perfect for C is for Cat! We sang it again and again. (Lyrics below)

Soft Kitty Song Lyrics

“Soft Kitty, Warm Kitty,

How To Clean a Baking Pan

Leave a Comment

Burnt on food is the number one reason that I used to avoid certain recipes. I didn’t want to face the tough job cleaning the pans. So often the recipes that are the yummiest dishes are also guaranteed to produce a burnt-on mess. It is just the way they are. 
 
cleaning tips, household hints, baking soda uses
What kind of dishes? I am talking about pot roast, beef stew and brisket: three delicious tummy warming dinners that my family loves. But how I dreaded the clean up. Whether made in the oven or a crockpot, the tough cleaning chore ahead was inevitable  – that is, until now!

Finally, I discovered the so simple cure. It is really a dream come true. What is it?  Baking soda! Yes. Nothing fancy but you are going to love this.

I extolled the hidden virtues of baking soda some time ago in “15 Great Uses For Baking Soda” covering everything from insect bite treatment to a key ingredient in your child’s Erupting Volcano Science Fair Experiment – but this?   How did I miss this?

How To Clean Burnt-On Food In A Baking Pan

Warm water

Directions

Rinse the pan with water.

Add lots of very warm water to cover all the burnt on food.

Let the pan stand for at least 15 – 30 minutes.
