Recipe Week, Day 2: Cool Cucumber Soup

Happy Tuesday!

Recipe Week continues! Today's recipe is still one of my all time favorites, and extra good for the upcoming super hot days! It's a "Cool Cucumber Soup". Don't hate just yet!!! Give it a try. SUPER refreshing, healthy, and delicious.

Recipe: No Fat Banana Muffins

For an even healthier version, use 3 egg whites instead of whole eggs, splenda or unsweetened apple sauce instead of sugar, and for the flour use 1 cup white & 1 c whole wheat. Using applesauce in place of sugar adds sweetness without the extra calories and, well, sugar. One cup of unsweetened applesauce contains only about 100 calories, while one cup of sugar can pack in more than 770 calories! You can sub sugar for apple sauce in a 1:1 ratio, but for every cup of applesauce you use, reduce the amount of liquid in the recipe by 1/4 cup.

Tomato Parmesan Chicken // Tender & Crunchy!

After sharing the Pizza Dough recipe earlier this week, I decided to share another Italian inspired dish with you. I was coming up with this one, when I didn't feel like going to the store. So all the ingredients are basically things you might find in your pantry and freezer. It turned out so good, it's one of our favorite dishes now.
I love the way the chicken turns out after a few hours in the slow cooker. But I also love a crunchy crust. This recipe is combining the best of both worlds:

Recipe: Pizza Dough! // No More Store Bought, Please.

I really love food blogs - but somehow I only like recipes, if they are REAL recipes. Home made stuff. Lately I see a lot of "take a box of this" or "use this and that pasta sauce". THIS is not a recipe, in my opinion. It's just putting together ready-made stuff. Especially when it comes to pizza. I have seen multiple pizza recipes of so called food bloggers lately, that start with "Buy some pizza dough - I prefer Pillsbury". Ummmmmm no. So your home made pizza will be just opening a can, putting ready-made tomato sauce on it, pepperoni, and grated cheese? Well, save some time and go straight to the frozen meal section of the grocery store next time. And please don't call it a recipe.
When we make pizza at home, we ALWAYS make our own dough. It is super easy, cheap, and trust me: it tastes DELICIOUS! This is why I want to share my go-to recipe today. Feel free to share it, pin it... Just please spread the word, so people will stop buying this ready-made crap.

And for the tomato sauce: take 1 can of diced tomatoes (plain, no salt added), 1 fresh medium sized tomato, salt, pepper, oregano, basil, and throw everything in the food processor. It tastes YUMMY! Be creative when it comes to the toppings! I love baby spinach, anchovies, onions, and bell pepper on my pizza!

What's your favorite pizza? Plain pepperoni or something fancy?

$1 DIY // Yarn Container (Cat-Proof)

Today I want to share a easy and cheap DIY with you. I love to crochet! I love my cat! But these 2 things don't get along very well. There are trazillions of times when I came home to something like this:

via Pinterest

There must be a way to store your yarn so it's cat-safe, AND you can easily access it when you want to continue your crafts. 

I was cleaning and when I was about to throw away an empty container of wipes, I stopped and looked at it more closely. I did buy one of these fancy (and costly) "Yarntainers" not too long ago. And I realized: It is so easy to turn this $1 wipe container into a small yarn container as well! I got started right away:

A Jalapeño. Just because I love Jalapeños.

I am printable and will look amazing in your kitchen!

Some random jalapeño-ish stuff from Wikipedia:

• Stuffed jalapeños are hollowed out fresh jalapeños (served cooked or raw) that are stuffed,often with a mix containing seafood, meat, poultry, and/or cheese.
  
• Pickled jalapeños, sliced or whole, are often served hot or cold on top of nachos, which are tortilla chips with melted cheese on top, a traditional Tex-Mex dish.
  
• Chipotles are smoked, ripe jalapeños.
  
• Jalapeño jelly can be prepared using jelling methods.
  
• Jalapeño peppers are often muddled and served in mixed drinks.
  
• Jalapeño poppers, also called armadillo eggs, are an appetizer; jalapeños are stuffed with cheese, usually cheddar or cream cheese, breaded or wrapped in bacon, and cooked.
  
• Chiles toreados are fresh jalapeños that are sauteed in oil until the skin is blistered all over. They are sometimes served with melted cheese on top.
  
• Texas toothpicks are jalapeños and onions shaved into straws, lightly breaded, and deep fried.
  
• Chopped jalapeños are a common ingredient in many salsas and chilis.
