New Favorite Pumpkin Pie Recipe

By

Unfortunately, I’ve discovered a new pumpkin pie recipe that my husband and I enjoy.
We love pie. I don’t enjoy the hassle of making or baking crusts, (nor using premade ones) so when I came across this ‘Betty Crocker – Impossibly Easy Pumpkin Pie’ I knew it was worth a try.

It’s firm and more savory and not very sweet. It bakes up beautifully… And it’s crustless!
I’ve made a couple of these tasty pies over the last month and they both disappeared in less than 24 hours. lol

Wishing you all a terrific rest of the holiday season.

 

 

Crocheted Chicken Dishcloth

By

10-22-2016-chknpthldr0Recently I saw a crocheted chicken potholder. It was such a nostalgic looking piece that I wanted to try my hand at making it.
There’s a youtube video of the pattern. I’m not patient enough to sit through a video tutorial, so I purchased a pdf pattern. I printed it off because it’s easier for me to use a paper copy. The directions were easy to follow.

I’m glad the seller listed this pattern ‘For Decoration Purpose Only’ because it’s absolutely ‘Not Safe’ for use as a potholder.
However, it’s about 8×8 inches and that’s a good size for a dishcloth. I intend to use mine as a dishcloth.
The crocheted chicken would make a charming wall decor if a person wanted to use a stiffener and block it.

My chicken dishcloth turned out so well that I adjusted the pattern and made one facing in the opposite direction. For the second chicken, I used a size ‘G’ crochet hook and it came out being almost as big as the first chicken made with an ‘I’ crochet hook. I was a bit surprised for it to turn out that size.chknpthldr

Happy Crocheting!

PineApple Upside-Down Bundt Cake

To celebrate Father’s Day, I made my first ever Pineapple upside-down cake. I used a recipe by Betty Crocker using a bundt pan. It was really easy to make and turned out well, even though I didn’t have enough pineapple slices. I didn’t realize that the small can only contained 4 slices. But all-in-all I’m quite happy with my 1st effort and I intend to make another someday in the future.

Thankfully, my Husband & Grandson really enjoyed it and that’s what matters most. 🙂

The one thing that I would do differently is:
I would use a large can of pineapple slices.

If you try the recipe, let me know how you like it.

Have a sweet rest of the week.
