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?!?!?!?!?!

       OH THAT'S JUST ME ROCKIN THE HEADBAND

                                 

      AND SO THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT :) 

 Imagine how cute it is when I wear it with the new green button earrings that Mrs.Tami (from Iowa) gave me! 




 ... isn't this such a fun color? ...

BRACELETS

HEY GUYS!!! Its Evie! I'm on my mom's blog because we are now 'mother-daughter-bloggers'. It is just SOOO exiting! 

            So just the other day I found some fabric and I decided that I wanted to use it to make something, and then I thought "HEY MAKE A BRACELET!! And so then I taught myself how to stitch onto fabric! And heres what I did....

                                           So those are my materials!

And so I decided to stitch 'LOVE' on it because that is one of the most important
                                                things in my life <3

                                                                                                  
And so thats pretty much it...for that bracelet but here are some others I made...

I call this one a 'WATCHLET'!
