Pure Nuttiness. And So Easy!


I posted about these gluten-free bad boys on ohdeedoh yesterday. Just 3 ingredients, not including the decorations. Points go to anyone who can tell me what these animals are ...

Weekend Project — Stretching Fabric



We stretched fabric over some IKEA frames on the weekend with our new electric staple gun. Fifteen bucks worth of frames and some fabric I have been meaning to showcase for a while now ... and we have swished up one of our walls quite a bit.

For the full 'how to' check out my post on ohdeedoh.

Fruit and Cheese Plate



· Strawberries
· 4 Apple-grape skewers
· 4 Crackers
· Babybel cheese with a car shape cut out of the outer wax coating

This accompanied some warm cut up, leftover chicken strips, in a thermos. I just realized that I forgot to include ketchup. That may mean the chicken strips come back un-eaten.

Fish Bowl Jello

Stumbled across this on Martha and just had to try it!

The gelatin recipe is interesting; you add your own food colouring so you can make the colour more subtle. Isn't it pretty? And the sweetness is toned down quite a bit too, which I like lot.



Once the gelatin is set, make slits with a warm, sharp knife and slip the little fishies in.



This little red guy is taking the plunge.
