I spy St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I hope that these things get you in the Irish state of mind...

Baked Potato Soup from Gina's Skinny Recipes

The recipe uses cauliflower as well as potatoes to make it a bit healthier. I was quite skeptical about how it would taste because I do not care for cauliflower, but it was delicious! I will definitely make this again.

Christmas Gifts, Part One

Warning: This is not a sewing post. I hope you enjoy, anyway. :-)

I like to make baked goods to give to my friends around Christmas. This year, I think I must have had cereal on my mind, because I made Rice Crispy Treats and Puppy Chow.

 

The Puppy Chow recipe came from here. I used 1.5 times the amount of peanut butter, chocolate, and butter listed in the recipe because I did not think that the cereal was coated well enough using the specified amount. The Rice Crispy Treat recipe came from here. I did not do any modifications to this recipe.

I decided to put my treats in mason jars after seeing these super cute jars on You Are My Fave. You Are My Fave is one of my fave new blogs.

I made the tags using the clip art in Microsoft PowerPoint and printed them on 8.5"x11" label paper. I have posted the tags here if you want to use them, too.

What are you making for Christmas?
