Our Signature Candle!

Don't forget we now the carry room spray and the pillar candle in Buttered Maple scent, with that hauntingly great smell. Give us a call and we can mail it to you! 330-665-9696. We believe that the two wicks in each of the jar candles are what gives it the fantastic scent. It's like double the aroma and makes the best and strongest scent! You will be hooked if you try it.....

My Favorite Cookies in the World!

Hands down.....you will love this cookie! They are my Oatmeal/Chocolate Chip & Walnut Masterpieces. And here is the recipe....Get a box of Quaker Oats Oatmeal, the cookie recipe is on the lid - follow it, adding bi-colored white and dark chocolate twisted chips, and chopped up fresh walnuts. To die for cookies, made in smaller little size, cooked on pasty sheeting and making an easy to wash cookie pan. Makes plenty and freezes well =)

FREEBIE! MY FAVORITE DELICIOUS PIZZA CRUST RECIPE!

Of course you can start off with a salad with lots of walnuts, spinach, & cranberries.....I think Italian tomatoes tastes & looks the best in any salad. We always use the BIG plastic bowls you get at the dollar store for salads, so..... more salad, less fats stuff.

Here's the vintage looking original recipe! Ha.

Mix lightly.....

Flour the rolling area....

Or can be divided in to two balls.

Pastry paper required no pan cleaning afterwards!!!!!!!yaaaaa.

Half pepperoni, have onions & cut up tomatoes.

This has to be my very favorite pizza crust recipe! I haven't found any to surpass ~ it's light, chewy, & easy! I have to give credit to J.P. Morgan Chase, for this great recipe, when I worked for the CEO, of Bank One, before Chase took them over ~ this was handed down to me from Bruce Bailey, at that time. He said it was his wife's favorite! So here it is being shared with you, so you can enjoy it. I hadn't made it in a long while. And just put it to the test last night. Mmmmm! It was my husband & son's, favorite dish....:

~~~~ THEE, FAMOUS PIZZA CRUST~~~

1 package yeast (three come in a pack, only use one)
1/4 cup lukewarm water

2 tablespoons olive oil (says you can use oleo or oil)
1 1/2 t. salt (I use 1/2 t.)

3 1/2 cups unsifted flour

Soften yeast in lukewarm water & let stand 5 minutes. Pour hot water over olive oil & salt. Let cool to lukewarm. Then combine with yeast. Gradually stir in flour, mixing until dough is smooth. Knead lightly. Roll out to 1/8 inch thick on cookie sheet. ( I use pasty paper, works like a dream?) Spread dough with your favorite tomato sauce & mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, Italian spices, garlic, & whatever you love. (Can sprinkle a little olive oil over pizza.) BAKE AT 425 DEGREES FOR 20 MINUTES. I like to preheat oven. You will love it!!!

Freebie Idea & How-To, for you! Lima & String Bean Swag:-)

Here is all that you will need to make this cute little Lima Bean Swag. When you make a trip to your favorite outdoor market, pick up some large marbled string beans and flat Lima bean in the hull. Dry both in a box top or any dry place, make sure none of them touch and they are not wet. After a week or two, get a punch, & rusty wire. Cut a piece of wire in the length you would like, punch each bean in the middle and thread a swag. If you can't find Lima beans, okra will do nicely, too. Add home spun strip or whatever else you can come up with! Have fun!

These swags are available for purchase $9.00 +postage, contact me at kathiegivens@msn.com
