Recipe - Easy Peasy Peach Cobbler

Easy Peasy Peach Cobbler

I saw a similar recipe online (no clue where) and vaguely went by that recipe. But, I made some changes. This recipe is made using peaches that were fresh, that I peeled, cut in half and froze. You can use canned peaches, if you prefer. 

My version: 

Peach Mixture

Peaches, frozen or fresh cut into chunks, 5 cups or more. 

1/2 c of sugar (add more if you prefer it sweeter). 

1 TBS corn starch. 

Splash of lemon juice (fresh or bottled). 

Combine all ingredients in medium sauce pan. Allow to boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the mixture thickens up. Set aside. 

(((if using canned peaches, use 3 large cans and skip the above steps and ingredients)))

Cobbler Recipe

Peach Mixture above OR 3 cans of peaches in syrup (drain syrup from ONE can). 

1 box of yellow cake mix

1/2 cup of real butter, softened

Pour peaches into cake pan. Cut butter into small pieces and mix with dry cake mix. 

Pour butter and cake mixture over peaches. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Check often!

 Topping will be brown, and peaches will bubble around the edges. 

 

 Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes. I served it warm with vanilla ice cream. Very yummy. 

Happy Holidays!

3Doodler Start Party!

It's another 3Doodler Party! 

This time we are creating with the 3Doodler Start. This version of the 3Doodler 3D Pen is aimed for a younger crowd - although I honestly like this pen better! 

The 3Doodler Start Powerpuff Yourself kit

This 3Doodler Set is "Powderpuff Yourself" and includes a few added items! 

The box includes everything you need to make several designs; the pen, molds, usb charging cord, packs of plastic, instruction book and the activity guide. 

   

The activity guide, shown in the two picture above - gives ideas and complete instructions on how to create certain characters and parts. 

The Eco-plastic.

Pen tip, made of plastic - stays cool to the touch!

The pen is a bit smaller and wider than the original 3Doodler, the 3 Doodler Start is simplified for a younger audience. The pen also charges using a USB charger, this took about 30 minutes to fully charge; and there is an indicator light. 

Charge with USB cord

DoodleBlocks & the DoodleMold

  

Using the included molds called DoodleBlocks to use in making your creations. The DoodleBlocks can be filled with the plastic and then removed. 

The Doodle Mold and a work in progress...

I really do like this version of the 3Doodler pen, it doesn't get super hot - which is great because I burned myself  a lot with the original pen. The 3Doodler Start is made specifically for younger kids (ages 8 and up) so that they can create without any worry of them getting burned or being too afraid to use the pen.

This kit is also fantastic, I love the DoodleMold and DoodleBlocks! The activity guide is a really amazing tool that helps in the construction of the characters and gives ideas for original creations.

My daughter and her friends worked together to make this character. Each piece is made then added together in just 7 steps.

90 Proof Air Fresheners Monthly Program

90 Proof has made a monthly program in which you can have these air fresheners delivered to your door every month (in packs of one, two or four). 

These air fresheners are made in America, in small batches with unique designs. The two show in my pictures are polar opposite scents, the flag is a masculine musk scent; 'ombre leather', and the rose/skeleton is strawberry wine scented. Both of these smell amazing straight from the package, and once inside a car or gym bag you can get a great burst of scent. 

The scent is fairly strong at first, but does lessen over time (as all air fresheners do). I have had the Strawberry Wine air freshener in my car for over a week and it's mellowed to a nice light scent of strawberry. 

Check out all their great designs and scents at their website: 90Proof!

Product Review - INNX Microfiber Suede Sofa Cover

Product Review - INNX Microfiber Suede Sofa Cover

Find it on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FPJDEP8

Size: Sofa/Couch, 69"x74"

Color: Brown/Taupe on top, white liner on bottom

Another great product from INNX!! I have reviewed their cargo liners before and was/am very happy with the quality and design of both of the liners I got to try. This time, we have a sofa cover...

The INNX Quilted Sofa Cover is a nice soft microfiber suede. 

Firstly, this cover is machine washable (on gentle)!! It's thin - but has a lining, and is quilted - so not super thin. 

Note the strap, it's elastic!

There is also a long strap (elastic with plastic hooks on the end) to use with the tabs (loops) sewn into the edge seams on the cover. 

The cover comes with sewn in foam rolls that you can stuff into space between the arm rest and the cushions, as well as between the back and the cushions. This helps with fitting as well as keeping the cover in place. You can 'stuff' extra fabric into the spaces as well. 

It's a great sofa cover, my dog LOVES it! It stays in place ok, but my dogs and kids rarely sit still on the sofa anyway. 

Be sure to check this Sofa Cover out on Amazon, as well as all of INNX's products!

ORB Morph Mixer Party!!

ORB Morph Mixer Party

Brought to us by Morph Toy and Tryazon!

Morph is a formable, moldable ...fluffy...foamy....stuff. We had so much fun making random things with this, and then making new things. 

Morph comes in 6 great colors, and can be MIXED to create new colors. 

(click pictures to enlarge)

  

From the package, it's in a bit of a crumbled form. 

Crumbled in the bags

Then you work with Morph to form and shape it, it become softer and similar to a clay. But, Morph is super light, almost weighs nothing! You can mold it, shape it and form it; it holds it's shape!

Morph never dries out! This means you can create things, save them...and re-make them into something new. The more you pull and stretch Morph, the fluffier it becomes, adding air in between the "mini spheres" gives the Morph a look of fluff! 

Smash it all together for easy clean up! You don't even have to put it in a bag - it won't dry out!

Fluffy!

Stretch to add air, and make fluffy!

Here are some of the items we created:

Rubber Ducky, Pink Starfish

Flower

Bus/Truck

Flowers

Boats

 We actually had a competition with the boats. I challenged the adults to make a boat, that would float AND hold weight inside the boat.  Hint: The bigger, the better. The purple boat won, as we could put so many items inside before it tipped over. 

Mixed colors to make this funny guy on a jet ski!

The guests of this party were very happy to get time to play with this Morph "stuff", using it to make and remake all kinds of things. This will make a great Christmas gift!

Recipe! Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers!

Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers!

(recipe found on Pinterest, but I edited it to make it mine)

I came across this recipe on Pinterest months ago, and wanted to try it. Thanks to our lovely garden this year - we had copious amounts of jalapeno to use. I didn't use a actual recipe for mine, I simply re-used the idea of wrapping them in bacon and baking in the oven. I guessed at ratios and measurements, so of course they can always be changed to your own tastes. 

Please note my notes at the end!

My Recipe: 

1 block of cream cheese (room temp, softened)

1/2-1 lb. Bacon 

10-15 Fresh Jalapenos

1/4 cup Finely minced onion (I used white)

1 banana pepper, minced (optional)

1tsp garlic salt

1tsp black pepper

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

(hot sauce can be added for extra kick)

Directions:

Prep jalapenos, first by cutting the ends off, then cutting in half. Scoop out and discard the inside membrane and seeds. 

Mix together all other ingredients (minus the bacon), folding in the shredded cheese last. 

Stuff the jalapeno halves with the mixture, only SLIGHTLY overfilling them. 

Seperate bacon slices and cut into 2 or 3 pieces. Wrap pieces around the stuffed jalapeno halves and place on a cookie sheet. 

Bake for about 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees. This will vary depending on size of jalapenos and thickness of the bacon. 

Allow to cool only long enough to prevent 3rd degree burns. 

NOTES! These tasted fine, in fact the kids even loved them. The bacon looks uncooked, I realize; and the cheese mix looks a bit like scrambled eggs. So, when making these again I would probably change the following things -- I would pre-cook the bacon, so that it will become crispy after baked, and I would use a white cheese such as a colby jack or even provolone instead of the cheddar.
