Miscellaneous Post---Night Stand

I have been wanting to do this for a few years to this nightstand top.  It was brown wood when purchased.  We painted the outside part white and the top and 3 drawers pink.  Then I brought the lace and taped in on the top (with some overhang) and spray painted in white.  This is 1 coat of white.  I will put a clear coat over it ---- I think.

Will go in the room that granddaughter claims.

Got it at a flea market store about 3 years ago.   We are slow doing stuff!!!!!

Fudge Treat

I have did this in the past, but this is not my picture. 

They get a sweet treat and a cookie cutter.  Would be nice to use a unique cookie cutter.  State they live in, their favorite hobby, letter to their name, etc.....

Fudge, cellophane bag, and ribbon

Quick Fruit Cobbler

A different type of cobbler

1 roll sugar cookie dough
3-5 cups fruit (fresh, canned, frozen (thawed)
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar (more or less to your taste)

Mix fruit with lemon juice and sugar.  Use more or less depending on your sweet level.  Pour in a 9x13 baking dish.  Drop pieces of cookie dough on top of fruit.  Use all of it.  Sprinkle with sugar and bake at 350 for 20 minutes.  It should be bubbly and light golden crust when done.

The Cheesy Bowl

I have been looking for new recipes to try and here is one that I thought sounded good.

8 oz. Colby Jack Cheese shredded
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
16 oz. bacon bits or crisp fresh bacon bits
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
26 oz. round loaf bread

Stir together all ingredients except bread and set aside.  Hollow out bread, reseving the torn pieces.  Spoon dip into bread and place on an ungreased baking sheet.  Bake at 350 degrees for one hour.  Serve with torn bread or sliced apples.

Christmas In July time AGAIN!!!!!

Can you believe half of 2020 is over? ( Might be a good year to move along---considering everything)

Thought I would share this ideal with you.  I have been wanting to make these for gifts for a number of years and this year I got the fabric and also the towels to get started on several.  I think my family/friends will like these and get plenty of use from them. I am going to use a combination of 2 ways to do one.

It is a kitchen boa and several ways of making them are out there.



If you have cooking friends, they may like one too.

Happy Easter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To you and your families!!!

May God's Blessings be with you all!

We normally have the family Easter dinner but will just be my 2 kids and us 2.  Normally I would be in kitchen all day today and up early tomorrow but.....  Made a pie today and the little ham sandwiches are made so will just have to do slow creamy potatoes in crock pot and probably cream corn I will make tomorrow or green beans.  So less prep, save some money and won't be dragging btomorrow night.  Well okay, I might still be dragging but ..............
