Hummus – So Easy and So Tasty

Hummus 16oz can chickpeas/garbanzo beans 1/4 liquid from beans 1.5 tbsp tahini (optional) 2-3 tsp lemon juice (optional) 2 tsp minced garlic salt to taste Whirl all ingredients in blender until smooth.

I Can’t Believe I Wore This
So I kidnapped a “Flashback Friday” prompt. Namely “what was your favorite childhood thing?” Being the kind of girl that I am, I had lots of “favorite” things, but here’s a very conspicuous one. Please note the skirt OVER the leggings, the oh-so-80′s sequined headband, and the suntan stockings. I think our teacher just plain hated us. (I should also add that this wasn’t really red, so much as orange-red.) But I’ll be darned if [...]

Meet the Scout – Team Fortress 2 Cosplay
Team Fortress 2 Scout Cosplay/Costume. (If you are looking for the “Meet the Scout” video post, head on over here This is such a ghetto-tastic costume, but I love it. It’s basically my Team Fortress 2 costume placeholder until I get the Medic and Engineer finished. Here’s the rundown for those who want to make it for themselves:

Easy Toasted (Baked) Ravioli
These are so easy, but so yummy as a party food. You could deep fry these, but I find these are just as tasty without the added fat. Ravioli, any filling – Fresh or Frozen (thawed) Bread Crumbs Egg(s) Garlic Salt Basil Oregano Parmesan cheese (grated) Prepared tomato sauce (out of a can works fine here)

The Best Baked Ziti (a.k.a. Silver Bricks)
Most baked ziti at buffets and potlucks tend to be an overcooked, mushy mass of tasteless pasta and sauce. Not this one. People never fail to beg for this recipe. The title of this recipe is a lie. We will be using penne, because it holds its shape and texture better. This recipe will make two 9×11 pans, which will feed about 6 hungry people each. I recommend using disposable pans, because likely you will [...]

How to Make a Cell Phone Lanyard – Method One
A few people have been having trouble locating cellphone lariats for my Cell Phone Charm/Zipper Pull tutorial. So here’s a quick and easy way to make some. First off, this is what we are hoping to emulate. This is what you will need to make this silly thing. That’s a split ring, 1 or 2 crimp beads, a pair of pliers and your string. I’m using fake leather cording, but you could use waxed thread, [...]

Big, Fat Pigs-in-a-Blanket
Now that I’ve gotten two requests for this stupidly simple recipe, well, I’ll share publicly. The one issue is that not all hot dogs are packaged with the same number of dogs. 1 tube of rolls will cover 4 hot dogs (or 8 if you like less roll to dog,) so make sure you have an equal number of rolls to hot dog. 1 package hot dogs (I use Boar’s Head or Hebrew National, I [...]
