Applesauce Crazy CakeA crazy or wacky cake is missing a traditional ingredient. This one has no eggs, so it is good for those times when eggs are expensive, you ran out of eggs, need to watch your cholesterol or there is an allergy.

 

A binder clip holding a suitcase strap out of the way.

Clips To Hold Straps In SuitcaseIt drives me nuts when the straps that hold your clothing gets down under the clothes that you've already packed in your suitcase. Now I always clip the strap to hold them up until I have everything packed in there now. Makes it much easier and saves time when packing a suitcase.

 

A painted bottle with embellishments.

Bottle PourI had some odds and ends of leftover paint and I love decorating bottles, so I made this project. This is made from a Snapple drink bottle.

 

A roasted chicken in a roasting pan.

Roasted ChickenWe love roasted chicken. This is a simple recipe for roasting a chicken in the oven.

A pan of chocolate chip bar cookies.

Chocolate Chip Bar CookiesI got this recipe many years ago at my baby shower. Someone always asks for the recipe. Instead of chocolate chips, you can use butternut chips, peanut butter chips, chocolate covered peanuts or raisins, or plain raisins. Coconut and nuts may also be added.

 

A baked pizza next to slices of pizza.

Piquant Four Seasons PizzaFour seasons pizza is my favorite pizza. This is an internationally known Italian pizza (Pizza Quattro Stagione). The four toppings represent the four seasons of the year, dividing the pizza into 4 equal quarters. Several fillings in one pizza, in my opinion this is a brilliant idea! But since I like spicy food, so I decided to try making this pizza with hot peppers.

 

Individual serving of pulled pork on a cookie sheet.

How to Freeze Pulled PorkWhen you make pulled pork, you usually make more than you can use at the time. If you put it in containers, there is often too much for when you want it. When I make it, I put it on a cookie sheet in clumpsto equal one serving. That way, you can take out just how many you need and keep the rest frozen.

 

Fresh baked muffins on a cooling rack.

Fresh Cranberry MuffinsAnother low-sugar recipe that tastes great. The recipe says you get 8 muffins, but I got 12.

 

The finished picture with hooks on the bottom.

Key Rack/Mask HangerI purchased a picture frame to make a clock. Inside the picture frame was a picture that I decided to use for this craft project to make a key rack because I didn't want anything useful to go to waste. So for the cost of the picture frame ($2.75), I was able to make two craft projects.

 

A side dish of carrots in a shallow bowl.

Cracker Barrel CarrotsWhen we eat out at Cracker Barrel, I get carrots. They are so good and I wanted to know how to prepare them. I found a recipe and tried it. It calls for 2 pounds of baby carrots but I cut the recipe in half and only prepare 1 pound when I cook them. This is not Cracker Barrel's recipe but it sure does taste pretty close and it's good.

A plate of lemon cream basil pasta with chicken.

Lemon Cream Basil Pasta with ChickenThis recipe is not only fast, easy, but flavorful! I love cooking with lemon. It is a great flavor enhancer! I find it is a great healthy choice! You use less salt, natural flavors. Lemon is fantastic on fresh vegetables too! You don't need butter if you use lemon! My favorite is broccoli with lemon!

 

Ginger snaps next to a cup of coffee.

Ginger Snaps (Gluten Free)I love ginger snaps and took an old recipe for ginger cookies and made it gluten free by using gluten free flour. Since I was experimenting, I cut the original recipe in half and it made 89 cookies which is a plenty for me. This is my version.

A plate of pasta and sauce.

New Year's Quarantine Style PastaThis year has brought us so much hustle because of the pandemic. But that won't stop us from celebrating Christmas and New Year's Eve. Even if we are unable to go out and shop, we have received a pack of ingredients which I will turn into a special meal.

Recently, these new branches started to brown one after the other, while the soil seemed to be moist enough, and I did not change my care for the tree. As seen on the picture, drainage is secured.
