Friady Fix-Baked Potatoes

I don't remember where I first saw this idea at but I tried it and it worked like a charm! I had perfectly baked potatoes when I got home from work.

First wash your potatoes

Wrap in foil

I put some butter and garlic salt in the foil before I sealed it

Place in your crock pot and cook on high 4-6 hours or low 7-8 hours.

Carefully remove and serve!

They do look a little more brown than white but they taste just as good as oven baked potatoes

Halloween Marble Magnets

I made some Halloween marble magnets for a personal swap I was in. I made an altered tin to put them in.

Yay cute!

Mmmm Crockpot Granola, Yum!

I have seen so many recipes for granola but thought that the ones using the slow cooker looked the easiest. Well needless to say the first batch had to be tossed as it burned to a crisp! I think my Crockpot cooks really fast! So this was my second attempt and it went much better.

For the recipe:

1/4 cup butter*

1/2 cup Honey

1Tbsp Vanilla

1 tsp Cinnamon

5 Cups of Rolled Oats

Optional:

Ground Flax seed

Almond Slivers

Sunflower Seeds

(I used all of these)

Optional Add in's after it's cooked:

Dried Fruit

Coconut Flakes

Semi-Sweet Chips

White Chocolate Chips

Pretty much anything you want really!

Set the Crockpot on low and put the wet ingredients in the crock pot and stir it up once the butter is melted.

Combine the dry ingredients and stir together.

Add the oat mixture to the butter mixture and stir to coat well.

Use a wooden spoon or chop stick to prop the lid up while cooking.

Stir every 30-45 minutes

Cook for 3 1/2 hours

Pour on newspaper/papertowels to cool down and harden

Now would be the time to add the extras then store in an airtight container.

For the cost of about $4.00 I have a TON of granola that is quite tasty and hopefully a bit healthier than the store bought stuff.

*you can substitute coconut oil for the butter

Halloween Wreath How To

This awesome wreath cost me under $10 to make! I love the way it turned out and can't wait to display it on my door this year. I am sure you can find lots of other fun items at the $1 store to use if you don't like the skulls.

You will need

Fun Fur-Michael $1.99 (I needed three lengths)

Wreath Form $1

Skeleton Head $1. I only needed one package

Begin by hot gluing the fun fur to the wreath as you wrap it. It doesn't have to be wrapped really close together as you can fluff it a bit or use your decorations to hide any bare spots.

Then hot glue the skulls on and hang it on your door!

Easy Peasy under $10 and under 15 minutes to make!
