<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>One of my all time favorite flavors is teriyaki. It goes well with so many things - like chicken or pork, and even veggies. It's just a good thing to have on hand. Instead of running to the store all the time, I've started making this sauce at home. It's delicious & more importantly, I know what's in it! It's so easy to make, and very versatile too. It can be used as a marinade, dipping sauce, or basting glaze. I hope you'll give it a try, and let me know what you think. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><b><span style="background-color: #cccccc;"> <a href="http://www.recipage.com/new_pageCreator/printerFriendly.php?recipe_id=6081145" style="text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Printable Recipe</a> </span></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>Ingredients:</b></span><br />
<ul>
<li><b style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">1 cup Soy Sauce</span></b></li>
<li><b style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">1/4 cup Pineapple Juice</span></b></li>
<li><b style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">1/2 cup Brown Sugar</span></b></li>
<li><b style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">1/4 cup Honey</span></b></li>
<li><b style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">1 Tbs freshly grated Ginger</span></b></li>
<li><b style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">1 Tbs Minced Garlic</span></b></li>
<li><b style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">2 Tbs crushed Pineapple</span></b></li>
<li><b style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">1 Tbs Corn Starch </span></b></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>Method:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Whisk together all ingredients. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>If you're marinading, that's it. No cooking required. Simply pour the desired amount of the mixture over your raw meat, and let the magic happen.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>For a dipping sauce or basting glaze, you'll need to cook it down a bit and get it to thicken. Pour mixture into a small pot and cook, stirring frequently,</b></span><b style="font-size: large;"> until it boils and thickens to your desired consistency. It can be used immediately, or refrigerated until ready to use.</b><br />
<br />
<b style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">What I like to do is to mix up the ingredients & dip out some for the marinade. (Be careful to get a good mix & not steal all the tasty bits floating on top.) Then, I cook down the remaining sauce and pop it into the fridge until I am ready to prepare the meal.</span> </b><br />
<b style="font-size: large;"><br /></b>
<b style="font-size: large;">Store any leftover sauce in an air tight container in the refrigerator.</b><br />
<b style="font-size: large;"><br /></b>
<b style="font-size: large;">Makes about 2 cups.</b><br />

</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>To Prepare:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Begin by making the meat. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet with the onion and jalapeno. Add a generous splash of Worcestershire sauce while the meat is still pink. Once browned, drain any excess fat and return the meat to the pan. Stir in the taco seasoning and recommended amount of water. Finish cooking until the water is absorbed and remove from heat. Sit aside until ready to assemble.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Mix all ingredients for the vegetable layers in a medium bowl, and set to the side.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil and add in the lasagna noodles. Boil until desired tenderness, about 10 minutes. Drain and separate the noodles.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Assembly:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Spread 1 cup of salsa to the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">(If it is thick salsa, you may want to add a little water to get a good coverage on the bottom of the pan.)</span> This layer will prevent your lasagna from sticking to the bottom.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Lay 3 lasagna noodles side by side on top of the salsa. Spread 1/2 of the meat mixture on top of that, then 1/2 of the vegetable mix. Lay the pepper jack cheese slices on top. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Cover the pepper jack layer with another cup of the salsa, and then with 3 more noodles. Spread the last of the meat mixture, then the rest of the veggies. Now add the final 3 noodles, and spread the last cup of salsa on top. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">(Make sure the noodles are entirely covered. Any piece that is showing will get hard when baking.)</span> Top with the shredded cheese.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Bake in the preheated 350 degree oven until the cheese is melted, and the sides are bubbling.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing into 12 servings.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Once plated, garnish with diced tomatoes, black olives, lettuce, sour cream and cilantro.</b></span><br />

<a name='more'></a><b><span style="font-size: large;">Nothing says home like a warm and inviting scent! But you don't have to fill your home with a lot of artificial and potentially harmful chemicals to make it smell wonderfully. With just a few simple and all natural ingredients, your home will smell amazing all season long. </span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b>Ingredients:</b></span></span><br />

<li><b style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: large;">1 Stick of Cinnamon</span></b></li>
<li><b style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: large;">5 Cloves</span></b></li>
<li><b style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: large;">2 sprigs of Rosemary (or 2 tsp dried) </span></b></li>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b>Place all ingredients in a small simmering pot, and cover with water. Heat on low to fill your home with the fragrance. Add water as needed to keep a good level in the pot. </b></span><br />

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Grass is such a wonderful source of protein for chickens and other barnyard animals, but it can be a bit scarce in the winter months. So today I'm going to show you how to grow it in a small container inside your home or garage. For small flocks, it should be more than enough to provide fresh grass clippings as treats (not the primary food source) for the entire season. It's so easy, and your critters will love you for it!</b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The trick is to use rye grass seed, which is a naturally growing grass in colder months. You also want to grow it inside where the weather isn't as harsh. Rye grass grows best when the temperature is between 50 and 75 degrees, so be sure to keep it in a location that fits that range. Also you'll want to keep it near a window. Like all plants, rye grass needs ample sunlight to grow... and of course, water. As long as you keep it watered, you will be good to go. You won't need any fancy fertilizers, or even soil for that matter. It really is just that easy! </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b>You will need:</b></span><br />
<ul>
<li><b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Rye Grass Seed</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Water</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">2 Metal Foil Pans </span>(or one pan with a lid)</span></b></li>
</ul>
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">*Note - The amount of seed will depend on the size of your pans, and the size of your flock. I used about 1/4 cup of seed in an 8 inch round cake pan, for a flock of 7 chickens. Simply adjust the amount to fit your personal needs. </span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b>Method:</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span>
<font-size: large=""><b>Using just the tip of a knife, gently punch several small holes through the bottom of one of the foil pans. Be careful not to make them very large. You do not want the rye grass seed to be able to fall through them.</b></font-size:></span><br />

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;"><b>This dish has quickly become my favorite way to eat spinach... well, cooked spinach anyway. The flavor is just so buttery and smooth. It's like nothing I've ever tried before. I know that spinach has somewhat of a bad reputation for some people, but please don't let that stop you from trying this dish. It really is quite wonderful, and it's fairly easy to make too. I hope you'll give it a try and let me know what you think...</b></span><br />

<ul>
<li><b style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">2 Tbs Butter</span></b></li>
<li><b style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">1/2 cup Onion, diced</span></b></li>
<li><b style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">1 cup Mushrooms, chopped</span> (I usually use Portabella)</b></li>
<li><b style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">1 Tbs fresh Minced Garlic</span></b></li>
<li><b style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">4 cups (8 oz pkg) Spinach Leaves</span></b></li>
<li><b style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Salt and Pepper</span></b></li>
<li><b style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">3/4 cup shredded Mozzarella</span></b></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b>Method:</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Begin melting the butter in a large skillet </span>(or wok) <span style="color: #3d85c6;">over medium high heat. </span></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Add in the onion and a little salt. Stir continuously until the onion begins to soften. Then, add in the mushrooms and a little bit more salt. </span>(Be careful not to add too much. Everything cooks down quite a bit, so it is very easy to make this dish too salty.) <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Continue stirring, and once the onions have begun to caramelize and the mushrooms are cooked, add in the garlic and pepper. </span></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Cook for just a moment more, before adding in the spinach leaves. Stir constantly until the leaves have begun to wilt consistently, but haven't turned to mush.</span> (Total cooking time from start to finish is about 15 or 20 minutes.) </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Remove from heat, and sprinkle the cheese over the top. Allow it to rest for a moment </span>(just long enough to melt the cheese) <span style="color: #3d85c6;">before serving.</span></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>

<a name='more'></a><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Cornbread is pretty much a staple item in a Southern home.

</span><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Place a large (10 - 12 inch) cast iron skillet on top of your stove over medium high heat. Add 2-3 tablespoons of oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle a light layer </span>(about 1-2 Tablespoons worth)<span style="color: #3d85c6;"> of cornmeal across the oil. Continue to heat, swirling every so often, until the cornmeal starts to brown and begins to smell like popcorn. Do your best to keep it evenly dispersed in the pan, and try not to burn it. </span>(This adds a nice little crunch to the crust of your cornbread. See picture below.)</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Once the cornmeal has darkened to your liking, pour the prepared batter directly into the hot skillet. Sprinkle a handful of additional cheese over the top, and carefully place the skillet into the preheated 425 degree oven. Cook for about 20 minutes </span>(depending on the size of your skillet)<span style="color: #3d85c6;">, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, and the top has a nice golden finish.</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Remove from the oven, and flip out the cornbread onto a heat resistant plate to cool. Cut into slices for serving.</span> (I like mine still warm, and with a pat of butter.) <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Store any leftover portions in an airtight container in the refrigerator. </span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span></b></span>

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Our family drinks quite a bit of milk. We always have some on hand. In fact, it's not uncommon at our house, when the jug starts getting low, to go ahead and buy another gallon and put it out in our garage refrigerator until it's needed. Well, we were beginning to run low (actually we were almost out!), so I bought another gallon and just went ahead and put it in the kitchen refrigerator. There we were, happily drinking away on this new gallon (for several days) when I went out to the garage refrigerator to get something - and there it was! A brand new unopened gallon of milk that I bought a while back & had totally forgotten about! --- What's the date? Was it still good, I wondered? Today! The milk is dated TODAY!! </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Y'all know I hate to waste things, so how on earth am I going to use up this whole gallon of milk today?!? There is no way we could possibly drink all of it in one day, so I began to think. ICE CREAM!! Everyone loves ice cream, and it will use up quite a bit of that gallon!! Then we can just drink the rest with supper. Problem solved! And y'all get a fairly easy - rich and delicious recipe out of it too. You're welcome. :o)</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b>Ingredients:</b></span><br />
<ul>
<li><b style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">10 cups Whole Milk</span></b></li>
<li><b style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">2 cups Sugar</span></b></li>

<li><b style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">1/4 cup Vanilla</span></b></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b>Method:</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">In a large saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, and beaten eggs. Continue to stir over medium heat, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a metal spoon. </span>(Do not let it boil.)</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b>Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Pour into a shallow but large </span>(12+ cups)<span style="color: #3d85c6;"> freezer container. Seal tightly, and place in the freezer. Stir every hour or so, until beginning to freeze. Then stir more frequently until frozen. </span>*This recipe will also work in an ice cream maker, if you prefer. Just pour it in, and follow the manufacturer instructions for freezing. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Makes about 3 quarts.</span></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b></b></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><b style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">The other night I made some of my <a href="http://florassippigirl.blogspot.com/2014/02/slow-cooker-country-stew.html" style="text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Slow Cooker Country Stew</a>. The only catch was that it was just me and the kids eating that night. I knew that I could freeze the excess stew just fine, but I didn't want to make a big ol' loaf of <a href="http://florassippigirl.blogspot.com/2014/02/jalapeno-cheese-bread.html" style="text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Jalapeno Cheese Bread</a> for just the three of us. After rummaging through the refrigerator, I decided to try something new. Let me tell you this recipe was a hit! The rolls had just the right amount of jalapeno flavor, but not too much heat. And the gooey melted cheese blended perfectly with the buttery flaky crust. Long story short, these rolls were amazing! They would compliment a variety of meals, and because they only take about 15 minutes to make, they're a winner all the way around! </b><br />

The smell wasn't completely gone, so I repeated the process a few more times - until no more brown puddles appeared. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">(The fumes can be pretty strong for this, so I recommend that you keep the microwave outside until you're done.)</span> </span></b></b></span></span><br />

Only a very slight odor remained. You really only catch a whiff every now and then, and almost have to get right up next to it to smell anything at all.

<a name='more'></a><b style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Like most of you I used to blanch and freeze my excess okra from the garden season... But not anymore! Even just the blanching process is enough to cause it to get slimy and even break down, a lot faster, when you're trying to cook it later. Instead, I like to dehydrate my okra. Since there is very little cooking involved for storage, you get a more consistent product in the end. </b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>But you have to grow the okra first, so that's where I'll start. One trick that I've learned about growing okra, is to soak the seeds in water overnight (or up to 24 hours) before you plant them. This helps them to germinate a lot better. Also, okra is one of those plants that seem to grow a long time before they produce anything. But once they start, hold onto your hats, because they are going to run you crazy! You'll need to harvest daily or they'll get too hard to eat. Okra is also one of those plants that produces more, the more you harvest.

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>Harvesting can be tricky, though. You'll need a good pair of pruners and an even better set of eyes! Okra is really, REALLY good at hide and seek! The little pods are very easy to miss, and blend right into the plant itself. I like to plant the Cowhorn Okra variety. They are a little more forgiving, and can grow a bit bigger, before they get hard on you. Still, there have been times that I'll come out and there's a foot long okra pod staring me in the face! Now how did I miss that one?!? It's all good though, those can be used for seed. ;o) </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>Once you've got your okra you can either use it fresh, pickle it, freeze it, or dehydrate it. Like I said, for the okra that I don't use right away (or pickle) I prefer to skip the freezing, and dehydrate the rest. The dehydration process is fairly simple. Just rinse off your okra and allow it to dry. Then, cut your okra into approximately 1/2 inch slices, and arrange them on the dehydration trays. Or if you prefer, you can also dehydrate the okra as whole pods. Then, let your machine run until the moisture is removed. Every machine is different, but mine usually takes about 16 hours. Then, simply store the okra in an airtight container until you're ready to use it. (I prefer to use quart sized mason jars.) </b></span><br />
<b style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></b>
<b style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">When you're ready, simply toss the desired amount directly into your soups or stews. There's no need to rehydrate them first. I just love how easy it is, and the texture is so much better this way!</b><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"></span></b><br />
<a name='more'></a><b><span style="font-size: large;">That's right... Lint. It's quite possibly the best fire starter around! That's why it's so important to keep your lint traps cleaned out on your dryer. With little more than a spark, it'll start up a flame. People usually just throw their lint away, but not me. I keep a bag hung right next to my dryer. So when I clean out my lint trap, it's right there. Anytime I need to start a fire, I just grab a big bunch of it and work the magic. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Simply stack your wood however you like, and then tuck wads of the lint in various spots around the base of the pile. Light the lint. (It only takes a second.) and enjoy the fire. It's truly that easy! </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Whether your planning a big fire, or just a small one, the lint will do the trick. </span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;">It's non toxic and best of all, FREE! Now you will need to be sure to have enough kindling, and it won't just 'erupt' into flames, but what you will get, is a nice steady burn. I've used it for years, and rarely use anything else. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">For those of you that enjoy camping, lint is the perfect choice. It compacts well, and has hardly any weight, thus making it very easy to carry around with you. And because it's non toxic, you can cook over the fire without any problems.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">I've also seen where some people make pretty little fire starter bundles with lint. It's easy, and not to mention, a fun craft project to do with the kiddos. Just stuff a small amount of lint inside a toilet paper tube. (Fill it about halfway.) Wrap it in colorful paper. Fold the ends over, and tie it off to hold it all together. </span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;">You can customize the look according to your tastes and/or needs. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">These cute little packages go great in gift baskets, and certainly look better than a big ol' bag of lint hanging around. However, none of this is necessary for the fire starting itself. It's simply just to make it look pretty, and is completely optional.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Next time you find yourself in need of a fire, try using lint to start it. You might just be surprised at how well it works.</span></b><br />

<a name='more'></a><b style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Who doesn't love pizza?! But sometimes you just need to change things up a bit. That's where this Pizza Pasta comes in. It's all the flavors of pizza that you love, but in a quick and hearty pasta meal. It's a great way to bring the family together for a sit down meal that everyone will enjoy. Let the conversation begin...</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: medium;"><b><span style="background-color: #cccccc;"> <a href="http://www.recipage.com/new_pageCreator/printerFriendly.php?recipe_id=6077361" style="text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Printable Recipe</a> </span></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b>Ingredients:</b></span><br />
<ul>
<li><b style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">12 oz Rotini Pasta </span>(I used the tri-colored)</span></b></li>
<li><b style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">3 cups Pasta Sauce </span>(your favorite)</span></b></li>
<li><b style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">2 cups Shredded Mozzarella</span></b></li>
<li><b style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">30 Pepperoni Slices</span></b></li>
<li><b style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">1/2 cup sliced Mushrooms</span></b></li>
</ul>
<b style="font-size: large;">
</b>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b style="font-size: large;">Mix it up! Use whatever pizza toppings your family enjoys. Sausage, Bell Peppers, Black Olives, Ham, Pineapple... the possibilities are endless.</b> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b>Method:</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Pour about 1/2 cup of sauce in the bottom of an 8 x 11 pan, and spread it around to coat the bottom.</b></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Cook your pasta according to package directions, then drain. </b></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Begin layering. Spoon about half of the cooked pasta evenly over the sauce in the bottom of the pan. Add in a layer of toppings. </span>(I used pepperoni and mushrooms.)<span style="color: #3d85c6;"> Then pour about a cup of sauce evenly over that, and sprinkle with about 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese.</span></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Then make another layer. Use the rest of the pasta - more toppings - then the rest of the sauce - and finally the rest of the cheese. </span>(You will use more sauce and cheese for this final layer. It's what makes the dish look pretty.) </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b>Bake uncovered, in the preheated 350 degree oven, for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sides are beginning to bubble.</b></span><br />

<a name='more'></a><b><span style="font-size: large;">I just love how soft, chewy, and delicious these adorable little cookies are. And they are so easy to make, even the kids can help! As a matter of fact, this recipe is just a slight variation of the recipe that my mom and I used to bake together when I was just a girl. The only thing I've changed is to add the jelly heart, which makes them perfect for Valentine's Day - or any other day that you want to show someone you care.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"></span></b><br />
<a name='more'></a><b><span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone. A few weeks ago I told y'all about this respiratory funk that I have been in. While I am finally feeling better, I still can't seem to shake this darn cough! It has been a full 6 weeks now, & I am just about at my wits end! My voice is so hoarse from it that I am beginning to wonder if I am ever going to sound like myself again. Something has got to give! </span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br />
Over the counter and even prescription medicines just don't seem to touch it. After talking with a few relatives, I was reminded of a home remedy that Nana used to swear by. It is very simple to make, and only has 3 ingredients. ~ I have to tell you, I'm kinda feeling like an idiot right about now. Our family has used this mixture for years to combat everyday coughs, colds, seasonal allergies, and sore throat (most often around springtime), and it really helps. I can't believe I hadn't thought about trying it for this cough before now! All I can say is, I guess you're brain just doesn't work all that well when your feeling bad. </b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>As it turns out, a lot of people are fighting the crud right now. In part, I'm sure, to this wonky weather that we have been having this winter. So, I thought I would share the recipe, and hopefully help a few of y'all out. </b></span><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: large;">The 3 all natural ingredients are Apple Cider Vinegar, Local Honey, and Cinnamon. </span></b><br />
<div>
<ul><span style="font-size: large;"><b>
<li><b>Apple Cider Vinegar<span style="color: #3d85c6;"> has an acidity that prevents bacteria growth, and can stop viruses from taking hold. It also contains potassium which helps to thin mucus. </span></b></li>
</b></span></ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>
</b></span></div>
<div>
<ul><span style="font-size: large;">
<li><b>Local Honey<span style="color: #3d85c6;"> was made using the pollen from your area. Using local honey will help you to build up a tolerance and keep your allergies at bay. If you can not find local honey, any pure honey will help. Honey has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, and is a natural cough suppressant.</span></b></li>
</span></ul>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div>
<ul><span style="font-size: large;">
<li><b>Cinnamon<span style="color: #3d85c6;"> is Antibacterial, antimicrobial, and is a top antioxidant. The Chinese have long used it to combat cough, cold, and sore throat.</span></b></li>
</span></ul>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Putting these three powerhouse ingredients together makes an amber colored elixir that not only provides relief, but actually tastes pretty good too. *While I've listed the health benefits as they relate to cough, cold, allergy, and sore throat; these ingredients have many, many other health benefits as well. You may consider adding it to your daily regimen, just as an all around health booster. </span></b><br />
<div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Simply mix equal parts (about 1/2 cup each) of the ACV and Honey in a sealable jar or bottle. Mix until the honey breaks down and incorporates with the vinegar. Then add a pinch of Cinnamon, and give it a swirl. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Drink about 1 Tablespoon of this mixture every few hours as needed. Just remember to shake it first. (*If you are using it as a health booster, once per day is sufficient.) Store the mixture in a cool dry place. Refrigeration is not required.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: large;">I am happy to report that after using this syrup for just 2 or 3 days, the results are astounding! While I can't say that I am 100%, the difference is remarkable. I am feeling (and sounding) so much better! This mixture was able to do in just a few days, what countless other medications (prescription and not) weren't able to do in 6 weeks! I am over the moon about the results, and I just had to tell y'all. :o)</span></b><br />

You just throw it in the oven and let it go. It's just as easy, but doesn't require the amount of time that a crock pot would. And with cabbage as a main ingredient, t</span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;">his meal is especially perfect for this time of year. Let's face it, cabbage is pretty cheap right now! Any meal that tastes great and fills you up, without breaking the bank, is a winner in my book! </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">You may have seen similar recipes out there, but like many other Florassippi Girl favorites, this one has a special ingredient that you won't find anywhere else. To me, that one little twist really boosts the flavor, and adds just a touch of pizzazz. Give it a t</span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;">ry and let me know what you think. </span></b><br />

<a name='more'></a><b style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">It's no secret that Hubby and I enjoy a good margarita. So why not expand on that?! Margarita Moonshine is the perfect combination of margarita flavor, with a backwoods kick. If you're a fan of margaritas, then you should definitely to try this moonshine. You will love it!</span></b><br />
<b style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">'Tis the season... A quart of Margarita Moonshine would also make a great Christmas gift. If you start a batch now, you should have just enough time to let it mellow, before giving it to friends and loved ones.</span></b><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Ingredients:</span></b></span><br />
<ul>
<li><b style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">2 cups Sugar</span></b></li>
<li><b style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">8 cups Water</span></b></li>

</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Method:</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Pour half of the amount of water into a large saucepan. Heat up the water and mix in the sugar until completely dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and allow it to cool completely. </span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Meanwhile, juice your lemons and limes.</span> (We like to get a little pulp in there too, but make sure you remove any seeds.)</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Stir the now cooled sugar water mixture, along with the rest of the water, Everclear, lemon, lime, margarita mix, and sea salt into a gallon jug.</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</span><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">You can now transfer the mixture into smaller containers if you like. </span>(We prefer to use the quart sized glass jars.)</span><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Place the moonshine in the refrigerator and </span></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">let it rest for at least a week before you drink it.</span> (It will be EXTREMELY strong at first, but will mellow out as it sits.)</span></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Shake well before serving.</span></span></b></span><br />

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Welcome back everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We had a bit of a whirlwind trip this year. We drove over to Florida to surprise my sister and her family for the holiday week. </span></b></span><b><span style="font-size: large;">It had been a full 3 years since we had all seen each other. The trip was well over due!</span></b><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"> Going to </span></b></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Florida is an endeavor all on it's own, but we also fit in some time to be with Grammy, back over in Louisiana. What a week! </span></b></span><b><span style="font-size: large;">I am exhausted!! ...But in such a good way. Tonight we needed something easy for supper & this baked salmon dish is perfect - full of flavor, but very little work. </span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Salmon is quite possibly one of my favorite fish to cook with. It is easy to find in most locations, and one fillet can be portioned out to feed a whole family. If you're not fond of salmon, or just want to try something different, I'm sure that any other meaty fish would be fantastic prepared this way. Choose your favorite. Just understand that the cooking time will need to be adjusted based on the size of the fillet(s)</b><b>. Either way, I hope your family enjoys the flavor of this dish as much as mine does. </b></span></div>

Simply c</span></b></span></span><b style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>ook according to package and/or appliance directions, stirring in the </b></span><b>cilantro, lime zest and juice with the rice. </b></span></span></span></b><b style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><b>Season with salt and pepper to taste, before serving</b></span></span></span></b><b style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">.</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: inherit;"><b>Slice each lime into disks. Arrange these disks fruit side up, in an appropriately sized baking dish, to form a base for your fillet. </b></span><b>(Mine fit in a 9 x 9 pan, so I had 3 rows of 3 slices. - I also put in the remnants from the limes that I used in the rice, just for good measure.)</b><b style="font-family: inherit;"> </b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">As you cut the limes, squeeze a little of the juice over the fish. </span>(Tip - Roll the limes on the counter, before cutting, to really get the juices flowing.) <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Lay the salmon, skin side down, on top of the lime base. </span></b></span><br />

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>Thanksgiving is just around the corner. W</b></span><b>ith all of the savory foods that will be passed around, a</b><b style="font-family: inherit;"> few of us might find ourselves overindulging a little bit. Of course, afterwards we'll pay the price with heartburn and/or indigestion. There is no need to suffer, and no need for overpriced, big name pharmaceutical either. All you need is a little baking soda and water. That's right... Baking soda and water!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>Just mix about a tablespoon of baking soda into a few ounces of water, and drink up. It doesn't taste as bad as you might think. In fact, I kinda like the taste. And the relief is almost instant. You'll begin to feel better within seconds. But fair warning, a few minutes after you drink it, you're going to let out a HUGE belch (or two). But it's going to be one of the most satisfying burps you've ever had in your life, because with it comes complete and total relief! It sounds too easy, I know, but it really does work wonders.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">And because the ingredients are simply baking soda and water, it is safe to use whenever you need it. Just the other night I was suffering so bad, that I began to wonder if I might be having a heart attack. The pain and pressure in my chest was so intense! No matter how I moved, I just couldn't find any relief. I took an acid reducer, and after an hour or so when that didn't work, I took a couple of gas pills. Still, no relief. Then my husband reminded me of this little trick from the days of old. Within minutes I was feeling completely back to normal. It made me wonder why I even buy those pills!? We, as a society, have been conditioned to think that the more it costs, the better it must work. We need to stop, and take a step back. Sometimes the time-honored ways of our grandparents (that most of us have lost touch with) just work better, and oftentimes cost a lot less. So, the next time you find yourself in a bind, before you reach for the medicine cabinet, give this a try. You won't be sorry!</span></b></span><br />

There really is just no comparison. </span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>It's not very hard to make either. Seriously, the hardest part of the whole thing is cutting the corn from the cobs. And that's not really hard, it's just a little messy. ;o) </b></span><br />

<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>2 cups Cut Corn</b></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>2 Tbs Butter</b></span></span></li>

<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>1 cup Milk or Cream</b></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>Salt and Pepper</b></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>Sugar </b></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>(optional)</b></span></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Method:</span></span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Start off by making sure you have a good quality, fresh, sweet corn on the cob. Prepare your corn by shucking it (removing the husk and silks), and cutting the kernels from the cob. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">(I usually do this in a bowl, but I've been told that a </span>bundt<span style="font-family: inherit;"> pan works really well.) </span></span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Be sure to run the backside of your knife down the cob after you cut it, to 'milk' the corn. Collect the milk with the kernels. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">(The number of cobbed corn that you'll need will depend on their size, but I would figure around 6 or so, to get the 2 cups of cut corn.) </span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Slice the butter and add it to a medium sized saucepan. Turn the heat to medium and allow the butter to melt. Once melted, stir in the flour until smooth. </span>(This is called a roux.)<span style="color: #3d85c6;"> Continue to stir and cook the roux for just a minute or two. Do not let it get dark. </span></span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Slowly pour in the milk (or cream) a little at a time, stirring constantly until incorporated. Once all the milk (or cream) has been added, stir in the cut corn, and season with salt and pepper. You may also want to add just a touch of sugar, depending on the type of corn that you used. </span>(We usually use the G-90 corn that we grow here at the house, which is plenty sweet and doesn't need any added sugar. A lot of store bought corn just doesn't have that sweet factor, even though it is labeled as 'sweet corn'. Give it a taste, and you'll know what you need, if any.)</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Stirring often, continue to cook everything until the mixture thickens, about 15 or 20 minutes. Be sure to keep an eye on the heat, and try not to let it boil. You don't want the milk to curdle. </span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Remove it from the heat and allow it to cool for a moment, before serving. The mixture will thicken up a little bit more as it sits.</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Serves 3</span> (Recipe can be multiplied as needed.)</span></b></span><br />

<a name='more'></a><b><span style="font-size: large;">We're in the thick of it... That time of year when pumpkin flavored everything comes around! There are a lot of crazy pumpkin recipes out there, but I try to keep it simple. Most of the time, I'm more of a traditional pumpkin for dessert kind of girl. On the other hand, I do make this really awesome <a href="http://florassippigirl.blogspot.com/2013/11/pumpkin-tortellini-soup.html" style="text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Pumpkin Tortellini Soup</a>, and it is definitely not your typical sweet, cinnamon spiced, pumpkin recipe. So I guess it really depends on what mood I'm in... </span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b>
<b>Well, today I am in the mood for sweet, and these Pumpkin Praline Bars certainly do not disappoint! They are chewy, gooey, sticky, and crisp - all at the same time. I prefer them warm, but my kids like them chilled. It's really your choice. You could even serve them with a dollop of whipped cream, if you wanted to. There is just no wrong way to enjoy these tasty little bars. </b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Ingredients:</span></b></span><br />
<ul>
<li><b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">1 1/2 cups crushed Pecan Shortbread Cookies</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">1/2 cup Butter, melted</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">1 cup cooked and mashed Pumpkin </span>(Canned is okay, but don't use Pumpkin Pie Mix)</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">1/4 cup Sugar</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">1 Egg, beaten</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">1 (14 oz.) can Sweetened Condensed Milk</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">1 cup White Chocolate Chips</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">1 cup chopped Pecans</span></b></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Method:</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b><br /></b></span>
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Prepare an 8 x 11 baking pan by lining it with aluminium foil </span>(use heavy duty, or 2 layers)<span style="color: #3d85c6;">. Be sure to extend the foil over the edges of the pan, and spray it with cooking spray.</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>Combine the cookie crumbs and butter in a small bowl. Stir until completely moistened. Press this mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to make the crust. </b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">In a small bowl </span>(You can use the same one that you just emptied.)<span style="color: #3d85c6;">, combine the pumpkin, sugar, pie spice, and egg. Mix until smooth. Spread this mixture over the crust.</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top of the pumpkin mixture. Layer with the white chocolate chips, and then the pecans. Press it all down with a fork.</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Bake in the preheated 350 degree oven until set, about 50 minutes to an hour. </span>(The middle will no longer jiggle when you shake the pan.) </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b>
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Using the aluminum foil as handles, remove the gooey goodness from the pan</span><span style="color: #3d85c6;"> and allow it to cool, in the foil liner, on a wire rack.</span></b><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;"> </span>(Please be careful.)</b><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;"> Once cool, cut it into bars.</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Store any leftovers in the refrigerator. </span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>Makes 12 bars</b></span></span><br />

<a name='more'></a><b style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">I just love how cute this little broom turned out! It makes the perfect decoration for fall. It's very easy to make, and being that some of the supplies can be found by taking a little walk around outside, it is fairly inexpensive too. I hope you'll enjoy making it as much as I did...</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: inherit;"><b>Supplies:</b></span></span><br />
<ul>
<li><b style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: large;">1 Length of Bamboo - </span></span><span style="font-size: large;">Mine is about 2 and a half feet long and has a 3/4 inch diameter.</span></b></li>
<li><b style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Several Small Sized Sticks with Brush Style Ends <b style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="color: #3d85c6;">(see picture) </span></span></b>- </span>Mine are about 16 inches long.</span></b></li>
<li><b style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Lashing of your choice - </span>Examples: Raffia, jute, leather cording, or even small rope.</span></b></li>
<li><b style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">1 or 2 Harvest Themed Floral Pick(s) - </span>I used one glittery, and one more natural.</span></b></li>
<li><b style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">1 yard of Ribbon of Choice</span></b></li>
<li><b style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Hot Glue Gun and Glue</span></b></li>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Begin by assembling your broom. Lay your sticks out in a row with the bushy side all in the same direction. Lay one end of the bamboo in the middle of your sticks, but at the stalk end. Gather the sticks around the bamboo and wrap them tightly with the lashing. Secure the lashing by hot gluing the ends. Set the broom to the side. </span>(The bamboo may move up and down within the sticks. That's okay, but if it bothers you, you can set it in place with hot glue before you wrap it.)</b></span><br />
