***UPDATED 8/5/23***   This is so easy and I use to make this with a variety of meats and serve it to my family on  many occasions. Ingredients for the BBQ: Chicken, used three chicken breasts BBQ sauce, your choice Hamburger buns Instructions: Rinse the chicken and cover with water with a pinch of salt in a crockpot on high. Cook until the chicken is white all the way through. It doesn't take long once the pot it hot. Maybe 10-15 minutes. Shred it in a pot and add 1/2 bottle of BBQ sauce. Turn it on low and let it cook. All day or all night.  I left it on all night and smelled wonderful when I woke up.  Ingredients for the Coleslaw: 16 oz. coleslaw in a bag 1/2 C mayonnaise 1 tsp apple cider vinegar 1/4 C sugar, more or less depending on how sweet you like it Celery seed Instructions: Dump coleslaw mix in a bowl. Mix in a separate bowl, add mayonnaise, vinegar & sugar. Pour the dressing mixture over the coleslaw and mix together.  Sprinkle with celery ...

This DIY over the door sign is simple and a quick way to decorate over any door in your house. I was looking for some scripture signs to put over two open doorways in our home and after researching, I thought why not make them. I have a Cricut Explore Air & vinyl, all I needed was the wood and paint. I found the unfinished wood at Home Depot.  I bought two 1 in. x 4 in. x 39” Spruce/Pine/Fir Common Board Bed Slats @ $2.96 a piece.  The paint I bought at Walmart, Waverly Inspirations Ultra Matte White for $6.54.  The vinyl I used was Cricut removable vinyl . It actually wasn’t easy to remove when I made a mistake, that was disappointing.  The 2” font was Courgette and I cut black vinyl. I had to make it fit on the 12” x 12” vinyl sheet. After cutting it out with my Cricut Explore Air, I cut sections of the words and used transfer paper to adhere to the painted wood.  As far as the removeable vinyl goes, it didn’t want to remove when I made a mistake. OOPS! ...

 ****UPDATED 8/5/23*** Cathy's review on Progresso Chicken Noodle Soup Mix 🍲 🍲 🍲 🍲 🍲 🍲 🍲 🍲 Well, I wanted to try a chicken dish and thought chicken soup would be a great start because I can freeze what I don't eat right away.  Progresso soups are really pretty good so I thought why not try the mix. I have purchased the can soups and liked them. Progresso Chicken Noodle Soup Mix  Looks easy and all you do is add cooked chicken   and water! Instructions on the back of the package for the stovetop,  slow cooker or instant pot. 8 cups of water in a 6-quart pot. Whisk in the contents of the pouch. Bring to a boil. I cooked chicken and added it as soon as I could so the  noodles get the meat flavor. They ask you to wait  until boiling but I don't follow instructions! LOL! Like I said, I added chicken right away and  simmered after it reached boiling point.  Simmered for 20 minutes. Smells and looks great! I loved it!  I like soups...

Recently Cathy decided we needed  to have a craft challenge using candlesticks. The challenge was made on our YouTube channel to make anything you want out of candlesticks but they couldn't be used for candles. We had a few DIYers that took on that challenge and came up with some awesome crafty ideas.  Below are the designs from the craftiest crafters! Cathy used two clear glass candlesticks and make a jewelry hanger. She used what she had on hand with the shells and it worked out pretty nicely. Her total was approximately $4 in materials.  Cathy's Designs Kelly used four clear glass candlesticks and made a few things. She found the glass candy dishes with tops at Goodwill with the same design. Using E6000 glu e, she glued the dishes on top of the candlesticks. She’s using them in her bathroom as a dental pick holder and cotton ball/Qtip holder. The grand total was $3 for the dishes and the candlesticks were given to her. Kelly's Designs With the last two candlesticks,...

    My husband and I  don’t  usually do a whole lot for our anniversary.  We usually go out to dinner.  This year I decided we needed to do something different.  I  didn’t  want to go far, just do something out of the ordinary.   So  I discussed it with my husband and we came up with an idea to only have it shot down because the facility I wanted to go to did not have food on a Wednesday night and they were booked for the weekend. Where could we go for just the night that  wouldn’t  take a whole day of traveling.  (That is if you are in Virginia already.)  I  didn’t  want to go just to a hotel.  I wanted something a little different.  Finally, we decided on Peaks of Otter.  We spent our 2 nd  night of  o ur honeymoon at Peaks of Otter.  Why not?  It’s not that far away and it is  a beautiful drive.    Peaks of Otter Lodge ,  85554 Blue Ridge  P...

***UPDATED 7/14/23*** It’s been hot and sticky in Virginia lately. What would make it tolerable is a cold & refreshing treat. My grandkids love popsicles and I have them ready when they come over for a visit. You don’t have to have anything fancy to make popsicles. All you need is some fruit juice, fruit, and some sort of mold. I’ve made them in small cups with a popsicle stick and I’ve made them in a silicone mold.   Here are some delicious recipes that you can make for your kids, grandkids, or just for yourself.  The link to the recipes is highlighted in this post. Thanks to all those bloggers that share their love for food and family. 🍧 🍧🍧🍧🍧 🍧 🍧🍧🍧🍧 🍧 🍧🍧🍧🍧 🍧 🍧🍧🍧🍧 At Live Eat Learn she has the most delectable popsicles using fruit, yogurt, coconut milk, and even veggies in some of them.
