Keto Pizza
Well, I'm still going strong with keto. At this point, I'm almost a month in and around 10 pounds down. I'm really struggling with pizza cravings right now. I feel like every other commercial on TV is Pizza Hut, Domino's, or a local pizza place. I realize the first two don't sound so great to a lot of people, but I am by no means a pizza snob. As long as it has some sauce, cheese, and pepperoni on it, I'll give it a shot. I decided to see if I could track down any keto pizza recipes on Pinterest. There were quite a few listed, but I decided to try the one that uses cheese and almond meal for the crust. Let's just say it went extremely well.
Paper Heart Window Hangings
I think it's obvious by now that I like to decorate for holidays, particularly with deco polymesh wreaths. Unfortunately, I don't have room to store a wreath for every holiday and had to find some other way to decorate for Valentine's Day. Luckily, Pinterest delivered as usual. I fell in love with this paper heart garland and decided to adapt it to what I wanted.
Heat Seeking Calico
I promised myself I wasn't going to start posting a thousand pictures of my crazy cats on here since this blog was meant for crafts and food and other neat things. Well, I can't resist anymore. My crazy calico has an obsession with the heat register in the bathroom. Every time I come upstairs in the morning or home from work, she's lounging on top of it. I can't imagine this is comfortable, but she's like a heat seeking reptile and apparently doesn't mind.
Red Heart Sashay Knit Scarf
I find the sashay yarn from Red Heart pretty interesting. It looks pretty odd in the skein. As you pull it out and take a closer look, it expands into more of a strange looking ribbon. I never would've guessed it could be knitted into something so pretty!
Toxic Tang
Our New Years tradition involves friends, food and drink, and board games. For this year's beverage treat, Jeff mixed up a pitcher of Toxic Tang which he first discovered at a local restaurant. If you're not put off by the toxic look of it, read on to find out how to make it. Advanced warning, we don't have it down to a science.
Grandma's Red Cake
One of the things I absolutely love about the holidays is getting to eat "home food." Home food typically consists of dishes that never taste the same outside of my parents' or Grandma's house as well as a few local restaurant dishes. One such "home food" that screams Christmas to me is Grandma's red cake. We each have a piece for dessert after Christmas lunch and tend to fight over the leftovers in the days after Christmas.
A Tasty Treat for the Holidays
Every year my parents and I make up some tasty treats to give to neighbors and members of the choir at church. This year, I was inspired by my friend, HK. She made chocolate covered peanut butter cracker sandwiches to give away as party favors for a birthday party. It tastes great for a rather odd combination. Needless to say, I stole her recipe and made up a bunch of these to hand out. Want super easy instructions? Read on.
