TGIF BONUS: Pumpkin Seeds

Bonus Recipe! I never carved my pumpkin for Halloween and its just been sitting by the fire place. So I hatched it up and toasted the seeds!

Betty Lou's TGIF Recipe: Linzer Cookies

Halloween to me is the unofficial 'kick off' of the holiday season, getting me ready for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. The rush of a holiday coming and going is almost as fun as the holiday itself. To some folks the best part of a holiday is it being over. Maybe because the stress of preparing is over, left over food or great family pictures. How about sales? Thats right, the great American urge to buy stuff we'll only use once a year. This is my first after holiday purchase of the year.
Working at Michaels has made me very aware of the crazy good deals that happen after holidays. All through October I was eying the cutest little linzer cookie cutter. At $7.99 it was't that cute lol. I decided to hold out till after Halloween for it to go on sale. Well as luck would have it, I got the last one at $1.79. 


So this weeks recipe is one included in the linzer. Let's roll and cut some cookies!

Beanie Banger

Finished my first beanie on the knitting loop. I have to say that it was super easy! I definitely recommend getting a Knifty Knitter. Here is the deal:)

OMG, that's me LOL

After you cast on to the lagerst knitting loop, knit 7 inches and fold over to make a brim. Continue knitting; for a slouchy beanie knit 7 inches or a more fitted beanie knit 4 1/2 inches. 


Yep, its just that easy:)

Betty Lou's TGIF Recipe: Rachael Ray

Today is not recipe but a quick review. I recently bought Rachael Ray's cookware and bakeware sets. I'm so in love with both of the sets! I'm already a big fan of her and really wanted to try her line of cookware for a long time. 

So pretty!

Making fajitas in this pan was amazing! The pan shape is oval but it still cooks evenly through out the pan. I like that the sides a deeper than a normal saute pan, helps keep everything when stirring. 

First Fajita Friday

Love the handles

 I really love how pretty these are, you can take them straight to the table. Can't wait to make chicken pot pie in this dish.

Why yes, that is my vintage Corelle dish ware:)

I'm not geting paid for this at all. I just wanted to share my new stuff with you. If you should want them here are the links.
