DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!
Surfing Pinterest for a fun appetizer idea tonight, Evie and I thought the baked cheese sticks looked good. Simply cut string cheese, dip in milk and then bread crumbs. Bake at 425 for 8 to 10 minutes.
See the Before and After. Moral of this story: sometime Pinterest doesn't work!

WINNER, WINNER, CHILI DINNER!
Exciting night at the Presbyterian Church last night. We had a chili cook-off and Emma was the Overall Winner! Her winning entry was her version of a Cincinnati Chili. She won a dishtowel with peppers on it and as she said, "The nicest cooking spoon we have in our kitchen."
Here is her winning recipe:
3# lean ground beef
2 small onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 cans (29 oz) tomato sauce
2 cans (14 1/2 oz) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
1 t. cinnamon
1 t. allspice
2 t. salt
1 t. pepper
3 T. chili powder
2 to 3 T. brown sugar
2 T. white vinegar
1 cup of strong, brewed coffee
Brown meat. Add onions and garlic to meat. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Drain meat, onions, and garlic. Place meat, onions, and garlic in large pot. Add remaining ingredients. Cook on low for 2 to 3 hours, or can cook slowly in crock pot for 4 to 5 hours.
Serves 10 to 12.

HEADBAND
Hi...I'm back!!! And so you know that fabric that I used for the bracelets...well I decided to make a headband out of it! And so you do all of the same stuff that you would do for the bracelets but you make it longer...
And then I thought...HEY IT WOULD BE SOOO BORING TO LEAVE IT PLAIN... because I don't like plain! And so I added a lot of cute buttons to it and I made them in a little bunch...
CUTE RIGHT?!?!?!?!?!
