Project: Junk Drawer
Junk Drawer Getting it organized for less than 10$. Total score. This project has been on my to-do list for quite some time and I’m happy to finally cross it off. First, a picture of the completely messy drawer. Everything just shoved in there with no home – all feeling lost. I wanted some containers to keep things in place and I didn’t want to spend a lot of money, so I hit up the dollar store. What I did, however, was take measurements of…

Recipe: Roasted Butternut Squash Salad
Roasted butternut squash salad – basically this is roasted butternut squash stuffed with avocado, feta cheese, toasted almonds all in a winter vinegar dressing. So good.

Recipe: Chewy Rainbow Cookies
Chewy rainbow cookies for the holidays? Yes. I’m not a big fan of green and red together, those colours kind of clash, right? They look far better when there is some silver or white to break up the contrast. Anyway, my point is that if you don’t want to use rainbow colours then you could use green, red and white to make them more holiday like. Okay, let’s bake up! Ingredients 2 cups of cake flour 1 teaspoon of baking soda 2 teaspoon of corn…
