Simple StromboliMy family adores Stromboli. It's really easy to make when you use pre-made pizza dough. You can use any amounts and combination of fillings. Here, I've used Portuguese linguica and a mix of veggies. I then threw it in my toaster oven. One of these is cheese-free for my dad!
Coconut Braised ChickenFlavorful chicken infused with coconut for sweetness and a touch of spices. It is a nutritious main dish that is delicious paired with rice.
Wax for Waterproof Leather ShoesTo waterproof your shoes rub a good coating of wax over the leather shoe (I used a candle) then heat the wax with a hairdryer for about a minute on high or until it turns clear. I gently rubbed it in with my finger once it became clear.

My little stockpile is building up so now, I label each item with the date I purchased so I know which one to grab first (the older date).
Don't Discard Weather Beaten and Discolored Outdoor FixturesOur dilemma was the case of the cream yellow fence caps with lights. When we purchased our fence (white), we also needed the caps to go on to the tops of the fence post. The caps were from a different provider and were great for the first 2 years. Then the caps began to turn more and more this creamy yellow color and the lights no longer worked.
Saving Food from Pantry PestsI live in New Mexico and during the summer we have a plethora of bugs that can get into even the most protected food items. There are three things I do to keep bugs out. First, depending on the amount of food item, I will buy gallon or 1 1/2 gallon freezer or food storage bags to put the food item in.
