My Top Ten Picks From MM #128

Hello!

How was your weekend?  As I've mentioned before, I avoid heating the oven during the Summertime as much as possible.   So here's a no bake cake pop idea, use donut holes!

I chose powdered because it helps hold the melted chocolate better.  All I did was melt my white chocolate in the microwave per package instructions, and stir in a few drops of blue food color. Then dip the stick in mixture, spear a donut hole, dip it in mixture, then in sprinkles and set it on wax paper to harden. Super easy!

And now for the top ten! If you were featured this week, feel free to grab a featured button from my sidebar.

Welcome To The 128th Masterpiece Monday!

Happy Father's Day!

Here's some more paint chip fun! What theme do you use for card making when 'the dad' doesn't hunt, fish or golf? My hubby works two jobs and although he does like gardening, I think his favorite thing to do is watch TV and recuperate. So I made him a remote control Father's Day card. 

Inside, is a picture of his favorite show, Burn Notice.  And I bought him a copy of season six to kick back and watch. I photo copied a picture off of the back of the DVD for the paint chip TV! I think he'll like it.

My Top Ten Picks From MM # 127

Hi Everyone! 

I made today's salad using up left over roasted butternut squash, red quinoa and wheat berries. I used dried cranberries and toasted almonds from my pantry. And I added baby arugula and goat cheese from Trader Joe's. Pretty affordable and filling. I made the dressing below to top it off.

Honey Sesame Vinaigrette

3 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons rice wine

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1/8 teaspoon sesame oil

1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)

Whisk everything together and enjoy!

Welcome To The 127th Masterpiece Monday!

Hi Everyone! 

I have two masterpieces this week.

The first one is a vintage lamp I found at a rummage sale for 25 cents! It's even a little patriotic looking just in time for the 4th. 

I love it's neutral colors, wood accents and patina-ed brass. 

 The second masterpiece, is cupcake liner crafting.

I found these at the 99 Cent Store. 

All I did was fold them a few times....

And cut a "V" using fancy scissors...

And layer them to make patriotic flowers.

I also added some ribbon and some book page medallion's. 

 So easy and fun!

I think that this very simple, classic salad is my favorite. Sometimes I top it with cold, grilled chicken for a meal.
