Recipe: Homemade Ham and Cheese Pockets

In an effort to keep food costs down and to stop eating Frozen food all the time, I've adapted this recipe and  made some homemade ham and cheese pockets.  


Ingredients:
1 Roll Pillsbury Pizza Dough
1 Pkg Shredded Cheese
1 Pkg Cubed Ham

Directions:
Unroll your dough and place on a clean, flat surface.  Use a spoon and cut your dough in squares, enough to hold your cheese and ham.  Place cheese and ham on the dough then wrap dough around to make a pocket.  Bake  at 350-degrees for 15-18 minutes, on  a greased cookie sheet until lightly browned.

These are also Freezable!!
To freeze, let them cool completely then place in air tight zip lock bags.
Adapted from: Money Saving Mom
Also use this idea to make your own Pizza Pockets!!

Thanks again Money Saving Mom !

2014 Crochet Project: #1 Happy Afghan

Project #1:  Happy Afghan
Pattern:       Red Heart: Happy Hearts Afghan

I really loved how this afghan turned out!  It was a bit time consuming considering I became sick in the middle of the project which put me behind.  I ended up not using the heart appliques and I think it turned out just fine! The challenge with this afghan was deciding which way I wanted to stitch my squares together and which squares to put together. Instead of using the method the pattern recommended, I used a different technique; I believe it is called a mattress stitch.

Recycled Craft Idea: Recycled Capri Sun Pouches made into a Bag

Being my first recycled craft project, I was pleased with the overall outcome of these recycled capri sun pouches.  Granted, I made this project over a year ago.  So I highly do not recommend going out and buying any capri sun pouches just for the pure fact that they have been known to have mold in them.  I bet you are thinking, well why are you making a post about them right?  Well, I thought I'd share it with you anyways just for that fact that it is a cool idea for a craft and that the bag is actually functional!  Thanks SaraLynnTea for the Free tutorial!

Teaching: Affordable DIY File Folder Animal Sticker Matching Game

I remember when I was in Kindergarten the teachers always had these file folder games that we always played.  So I decided to make an Animal Sticker File Folder Matching game.  This game is inexpensive and lots of fun to make.The children can even help put it together or they can even make their own game using this concept. 

Materials Needed:
file folder
marker
scissors
matching stickers
card stock or index cards

How to Make:
You then need to gather the stickers that you will use.  Make sure they have a matching mate.  Randomly stick the sticker onto the file folder in various positions.  As you go place the match onto the index card, leaving enough space so that you can cut them out into a card.  You can have as many or as little stickers on the file folder as you want, but remember the more there are the harder it will be for the child to see them.  I used a variety of stickers.  Some of the stickers I used were different images of fish, a seal, lion, dog, bear, butter fly, dinosaurs and lady bug.  The possibilities are endless as long as you have a pair of the same stickers to be used. 

Developmentally Appropriate For:
This activity is developmentally appropriate for preschool aged children.

Teaching Concept: 
This game teaches the student about pairs and matching.  This concept is sometimes hard for students to understand but by encouraging the child to make their own game by picking out their own pairs of stickers that match and then placing the stickers on the file folder and index cards makes them excited about the learning process and the game.  They are actually learning the concept as they are making their game.  Then once the game is complete they actually get to play it and they think it’s really neat because they are the ones who made it.  They feel really happy and know they have accomplished something.

More Ideas:

File folder games have endless possibilities.  They are lots of fun and are a great way to get children involved in the making and decision process.  They are great ways to teach concepts even if you don’t have lots of money to use or if you think you are not that creative.

Recipe: Homemade Bean Burritos

Budget friendly favorite foods....bean burritos!

I love those frozen bean burritos but I don't like the price, nor do I like the fact that it's processed frozen food.  So I've come up with an alternative.  I made my own, with 4 ingredients none the less!  And if you are on a healthy kick, you can still do that too without all that processed yucky stuff and those calories.  You just have to do your homework and find the ingredients that your looking for.  You can even make your own "refried beans" by using the Six Sister's Recipe!

Ingredients:
1 Pkg Tortillas
1 Can Re-fried beans
1 Pkg Shredded cheese
1 Bottle of your favorite Salsa 
Directions:
Lay your tortilla out flat then add your ingredients then roll it all up. You can then place them in a Ziploc bag and freeze them and take one out each time you want one.  Easy!
