Organizing on the Inside of the Cupboard


For two houses now (moving), I've always had two of my most favourite go-to recipes taped to the inside of my cupboard door.  These recipes I barely have to refer to I've used them so often, but during a brain-fart (aka distracted moment), if I needed it, I knew I didn't have to haul out my cook books to find them - they were always right inside the door - scribbled in marker, not even titled, in very short point form - but always there.

Butter Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies


Me and Betty - we're BFFs.  And she has kept my dirty little secret for quite some time.

While cruising on Pinterest looking for a reason to use all those cake mixes I bought on sale, without actually making a cake - I came across a recipe for cake mix cookies.

Peanut Butter No Bake Krispie Clusters


Originally this recipe used Special K, but seeing as I didn't have any, but had an abundance of Rice Krispies, the switch was made.  I've been making these weekly since November, and I've experimented liberally with them, as every attempt have been delicious!

Simple DIY Candle Face Lift


I have these chunky pale green candles that are sitting, forgotten, on our hutch, hidden away from general view by the fish tank... And I've had them for quite some time.  They been beaten up over the few years, dropped, chipped, scratched, used when the power went out for 2 days... and generally they have seen better days.
