Halloween Jewelry

I have been making some Halloween jewelry for probably the last month or so. Some of it was for a Halloween swap, some of it was for a personal swap, and some of it was for Adia.

First up are some resin pendants. For this one I used glitter and confetti.

These two have Halloween images.

Two sets of earrings and a charm bracelet. I have quite a few more of these kits and after giving some to the kids in the extended family I will hand the rest out on Halloween.

And last but not least a pair of candy corn earrings.

I do need to make some of these earrings for myself and find where I have stashed my other pair of Halloween earrings I received in a swap a few years ago.

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
