How To Get Paid To Shop! Yes, REALLY!
How To Get Paid To Shop If you are shopping – and NOT using this – you are literally throwing your money away!! It may be hard to believe, but I (and MANY others) have found a way to “get paid to shop”. I know, you may be thinking this couldn’t possibly be true, however, it is! With all that is going on with the Coronavirus, more and more people are forgoing the stores for the convenience and safety of shopping and ordering online. It is nice to just have to click on something, enter your information and then have it delivered to your doorstep. ALERT ALERT ALERT…. Right now,…

Quick and Easy Microwave Caramels
Quick and Easy Microwave Caramels These little gems are so quick, easy and delicious you will be making them often. I make a lot of candy during the holiday season but caramel is just one of those things I had never made.

Alright, not my world but definitely my entire perception of making caramel. TweetSharePin205Share13218 Shares

Pizzelles
Some of y’all may not know what Pizzelles are but let me assure you, they are delicious! Pizzelles are an Italian cookie that can be found now days in grocery stores. For me, they are not Pizzelles unless they are homemade. The most popular flavor is Anise, however, that is not a flavor that my family and I enjoy so we make Vanilla and Chocolate. These cookies are also used to make cannoli shells in many families. Now these do require a special piece of equipment called a Pizzelle Iron. The Cucina Pro Pizzelle Baker is my favorite. These cookies are very simple to make. I will tell you straight…

Well here are the answers to questions about Santa in a beautiful poem. Can Santa be Black? It happened in the kindergarten class, Right at the table where they were having snack.

There were snowflakes to cut and Window wreaths to be hung, Christmas cards to be painted, And Christmas…

Sweet Heat Candied Nuts
Sweet, spicy, and nuts! Those are 3 of my favorite things!! You may have seen these fancy candied nuts in stores in malls, the smell wafting throughout the halls, drawing you into the store or kiosk. When you arrive, your mouth is drooling, tummy grumbling, craving whatever it is that is making this delicious aroma, willing to sell an arm or a leg to just to get a taste. These places know this and that is when they charge you the proverbial “arm and a leg” for a cone of sweet and spicy roasted nuts. Well I’m about to change all that! I can’t stop the draw of the vendor at…

Stained Glass Candy
Stained Glass Candy was always a tradition when I was growing up. To me, it always looked like the big stained glass windows in Church. You can make this any flavor or color you want, I just happen to make 2 batches. One batch is Cinnamon and colored red and the other is Wintergreen which is colored green. I actually had to ask all of my family this year to see if they wanted Peppermint or Wintergreen, it was a resounding vote for the Wintergreen. This recipe is so very simple. You will only need a couple of specialized things which are easily found. The first is a large non-stick…

This recipe for Homemade Fresh Mozzarella Cheese is so easy and uses minimal, easy to find ingredients. You will never want to buy fresh mozzarella in the store ever again. Have you purchased Fresh Mozzarella Cheese in the grocery store lately? The price is out of this world. This recipe will cost you approximately $3.00 for a big ol’ ball of cheese, depending on the price of your milk. Fresh Mozzarella is actually very easy to make and the ingredients are readily available. Cheese is a staple in our homes (somewhere along the same lines as water LOL). I saw an episode of The Pioneer Woman on TV one day…
