Holiday QuicheThis is a great Easter brunch dish!

 

Catalina Salad DressingCombine the above ingredients. Add a pinch of garlic, if you like.

 

Slushy PunchThis is a refreshing punch that is a favorite for family parties. It is handy also because you can keep a bag of it in the freezer to pull out and mix with lemon lime soda at short notice, just allowing a little thaw time.

 

Crescent Roll CasserolePat one tube of crescent rolls into the bottom of a greased 9x13 pan. Brown ground beef in large skillet; drain. Add spaghetti sauce and mushrooms to beef.

 

Five Hour Beef StewBrown meat and put all the ingredients in a large baking pan or dish with a tight lid. Bake at 250 degrees F for 5-6 hours. Do not lift lid while cooking.

 

Low Carb PizzaI am on low carb diet for past year (lost 70 lbs!) and missed pizza! I make mine with low carb, high fiber tortillas, 3 tablespoons bottled pizza sauce, one layer of pepperoni, and cheese.

 

Gram's Ham SauceMelt butter in sauce pan. Keep on a low to medium heat. Mix in sugar, then orange juice, then mustard. Once it starts to simmer it is done.

 

Baked Cheddar ChickenI love this with egg noodles lightly coated with garlic butter and a mixed green salad with tomato vinaigrette dressing.

 

Shaving TipsWhen shaving, first I use an electric shaver. Before I finish up with a straight razor, I use some moisturizer on my face. It eliminates razor burns and cuts. It really works quite well.

 

Crocheted Easter Basket PatternCrocheted covers for common plastic containers for a personalized Easter Basket. You can easily modify the pattern to whatever plastic container you have around. The one with the pink centered daffodils is made for a small Cool Whip container.

 

Use Grocery Sanitary Wipes When ShoppingDid you know that the supermarket is dangerous? This goes for any cart-pushing, scooter-riding establishment. Ask yourself if you've ever felt at some kind of risk in the grocery store (besides being run over by some kid racing around with a cart)?

 

Bob (Chihuahua and Pomeranian Mix)Bob is a 2 year old Chihuahua/Pomeranian. We got him a year ago this past December. We had been looking on the computer for a dog. I would show a picture to our 2 boys and we all had to agree on the one we wanted

 

Leela (Jack Russell)Leela is a 4 Month old Jack Russell. She was bought Christmas 2009. Leela loves having her tummy tickled. She is adorable.

 

Gardening: Sunflower SeedlingsLast week I submitted a photo about how I made my paper pots with the little fish container. I was also having a problem with the squirrels eating my sunflower seeds.

 

Let Mushrooms Dry OutDo you like fresh mushrooms? So do I. When you buy more mushy-roomy-rooms than you need, what happens then? They go slimy and get dark spots. Very unappealing and disgusting. The best way to store mushrooms is in a small paper bag in the fridge.

 

Old Fashioned Granulated SoapThis is how my grandma used to make soap. A just for fun recipe!

 

Happy Spring WreathThis pretty, handcrafted flower wreath is made from cardboard and cardstock. Cut out the circle with circle cutter or scissors from cardboard. Inside and out.

 

Bo (Cat)I think Bo is about 4 years old. I got Bo from a family member who rescues stray dogs and cats. Bo loves to play with string and relax in a sunny window. He is great company.

 

Make Replacement Boxes For Playing CardsMy kids are always tearing the boxes that playing cards come in. I cut a Little Debbie oatmeal box down to where it is a little taller than the cards and put the cards in it.

 

Use a Post-It to Clean a KeyboardA few years ago I thought I was so bright when I cleaned my keyboard with the edge of an index card. That is completely outdated. Today I learned to use the sticky edge of a Post It. I got gunk out of there I didn't even know I had brought near my computer.

 

Show Up REALLY Early at Garage SalesThis is a tip for all those garage sale fiends out there. Everyone knows that the first person at the garage sale gets the best pick of items. Instead of trying to get up early to be the first at garage sales.

 

Spell "Easter" With Craft Stick LettersEasy wooden "Happy Easter" letters for a window sill, garden, or to string on or as a banner!

Jello TipsThis is not anything really new, but several ideas put together. I rarely use cold water when making jello. I use juices or syrups from canned fruits, sour cream or plain yogurt, cottage cheese and almost any canned fruit or fresh banana slices.
