It's a chip kind of day

Keeping my snack portions under control is a discipline I still have yet to master, especially when I feel the need to finish things like chips before they go stale. A great solution for what to do if you have extra tortilla chips — freeze them!
Since I happened to have some corn tortilla chips lying around, I threw them in an airtight bag in the freezer and sampled one a few days later. Still crunchy and fresh! You can also buy larger bags of chips without worrying that you'll have too many of them left that will go stale.

Egg McMuffin Eggs

The Pin: Put and egg in a top of a jar and you will get a circular egg for your English muffin. Looks good right?
Tip: do NOT get cocky and put more sausage in it... it overflows.

Candy tray for the holidays

Here are the details:
Unwrap candy, put on pan on parchment paper, and bake for 6 minutes....





I missed the part of put in a ROUND cake pan... oops.

Ham in the crockpot

This is just an awesome recipe - not even on Pinterest. You will be asked again and again where you got it (you can tell them you made it up... that is OK!).

Bone in butt ham
Apple Cider
handful of cloves

Put the ham in bone side down
fill with apple cider
toss in a handful of cloves
Cook on low all day

Pull it out and slice. It is amazing.

2015 - The year of Pinterest Pins.

I said in 2014 I would try all of the pins I had pinned... I did put in a disclaimer that I may not get to all of the pins I pin after December 2014 - as they seem to accumulate rapidly. So here goes! A year of pinning... and other disasters.
