<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">World Beard Day. Oh yes, it's a thing. My husband has sported a beard ever since he could grow one...around the age of 5 or so. I was paging through a holiday-a-day site awhile back and spotted this gem of a celebration day. Luckily for us, WBD falls on a Saturday this year. We'll be celebrating with faux beards (for me and the boys)...some gag gifts...and dinner at the Cheesecake Factory - because beards love cheesecake - its a little known fact. In case you would like to celebrate WBD, I've included the following little roundup of awesome. And for more bearded fun, check out my <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/swtlilsmthie/holidays-daily-celebrationsworld-beard-day" target="_blank">Pinterest board</a>!</span></span></span><br />

Apparently my now hubs was lamenting about the lack of awesome women out there - it was his good fortune that he was complaining to the very person that could save him from his plight. That June day my Aunt L called me to see if I'd be interested in meeting someone from her work. Her description of him was, 'He's cute; maybe not someone you'd want to marry, but I'm sure he'd be alot of fun'. I was 22 at the time - so sure, I was up for anything. My only question - 'he doesn't have any facial hair does he?' She assured me that he did not. The day of our date we met at my aunt's house...imagine my surprise when he turned out to have a FULL BEARD...and a nice butt...and it turns out he is alot of fun.</span></span></span><br />

Since I believe that all occasions, <em>especially</em> weddings, deserve a unique gift, </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I've been trolling Pinterest for ideas.

Sure I've known about this for a little while now. And sure I knew that getting passports would make the trip that much smoother. But did I procrastinate? Oh you betcha! So here we are, 8 weeks and a few days to go and we are finally going to apply for our passports. It's first come, first serve - fingers crossed we're able to apply tonight!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Passports have been on my looooong things to do list for a few years now.

In addition to the heaping plate of baked goods that we send in for all the teachers & staff, I whipped up this cute little package for his teacher:</span><br />

Oh how he loves chicken nuggets. I've tried several at home versions of chicken nuggets and each one received lukewarm reviews. But when I saw </span><a href="http://www.health-bent.com/poultry/paleo-chicken-nuggets" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">this one</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> over on </span><a href="http://www.health-bent.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Health-Bent</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> that uses ground chicken (genius!) I thought I might have a winner. </span><br />
<br />

<br /><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Saying that Munchkin loved them is an understatement. After one bite, Munchkin requested I feed him (his words) these best chicken nuggets and 'that good meatloaf' for dinner from now on. Even Hubbers (who is not typically the biggest chicken nugget fan) loved them. I made a few tweaks to the original recipe based on Munchkin's tastes and what I had on hand. And the best part (in my opinion) is that they're wheat free and I know exactly what's in them :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's what I used in our nuggets:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nugget Mixture</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1 pound ground chicken</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1 egg yolk</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1 teaspoon onion powder</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1 teaspoon garlic powder</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1/2 teaspoon salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1/4 cup almond flour</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Breading</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1/4 cup almond flour</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1/4 cup coconut flour</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1/4 cup grated parmesan</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">olive oil & butter for frying - I used a 50/50 ratio, enough to coat the bottom of the pan</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Check out </span><a href="http://www.health-bent.com/poultry/paleo-chicken-nuggets" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Health-Bent</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> for the how to method - I followed it exactly</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Note on the cooking time - I found it took about 4 minutes of cook time per side.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This is my all time favorite vanilla icing. It sweet and creamy and tastes amazing. Just perfect for a Valentine that doesn't love chocolate (gasp!) </span><br />

<strong><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">White Chocolate Cream Cheese Icing</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1 package cream cheese, softened</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">6 oz white chocolate, finely grated</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1/4 cup butter, softened</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">3 cups powdered sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1/4 cup milk</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1 - With an electric mixer, whip cream cheese and butter until smooth</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">2 - Add in powdered sugar, vanilla, and grated white chocolate and mix until all of the powdered sugar is incorporated</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">3 - Whip in milk, by the tablespoon, until desired consistency is reached</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">You could melt the chocolate, but I prefer the delicious bits of white chocolate throughout the icing.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I like it on french vanilla cupcakes, but it would be absolutely heavenly on a gorgeous red velvet cake!</span><br />

Kinda. A little less bread, a little more veggies. So I've been experimenting with some salads at lunchtime. Here's my current favorite:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Some iceberg & Romain. Tossed with red onion & strawberries. Topped with a little maple honey ham and grated Havarti cheese. Oh yes, Havarti cheese. It's so good you don't really need salad dressing. But if you must, I strongly suggest a toasted sesame variety.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I started with my sweet </span><a href="http://sweetlittlesmoothie.blogspot.com/2010/03/tin-activity-trays.html"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">dollar-store-tray turned magnetic-chalkboard-tray</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> from last year.

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I like that they're Valentine-y without being pink. This is, after all, a boy's Valentine countdown calendar. While I like the colors, I did not like the words on them. Enter a little Goo Gone from the Dollar Store</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">A few wipes of the Goo Gone and that print was, well, gone</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">To make the heart boxes magnetic, I just cut up a few old advertisement magnets and adhered a piece to the back of each box with a dab of hot glue.</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Now for the fun part - numbering the boxes. That part'll be easy I thought - just buy some white number stickers and {bam} cute countdown. Oh silly me. Nothing is ever that easy. I couldn't find any white numerical stickers that were the right size for these boxes. So instead, I cut each number out of felt and hot glued them on. After all the boxes are numbered, just fill with a few Hershey Kisses, or your sweetheart's candy of choice:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">On a totally random tangent, I think all month's should have fun countdown calendars. Idea for Christmas gifts - a year of Kisses. A Hershey-Kiss-a-day calendar. Now that's my kind of calendar!</span></div>

I lurve a good soup, especially in the winter. This past weekend was super cold - perfect for simmering a pot of deliciousness on the stove. I had all the ingredients to whip up a pot of Red Pepper & Tomato Soup (with Gouda and Parmesan) and decided to do just that. This is a great 'whatever kind you have onhand' type of soup - in fact this is the first time I actually wrote the 'recipe' down. I usually just start with a pepper or two and some canned tomatoes and throw in whatever I feel like as the pot simmers. For this one, I used fire roasted tomatoes, roasted red peppers with garlic and both Gouda and Parmesan cheeses because that's what was in my pantry. </span><br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">10 - Simmer another 10-20 minutes to allow cheeses to melt and flavors to combine</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">11 - Serve with a dollup of sour cream (I prefer to top with a dollop of sour cream blended with ranch seasoning - it adds another fantastic layer of flavor)</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">A few notes:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> The tomato flavor is very prevalent - if you prefer to taste a bit more of the red peppers, sub out some of the tomatoes for more peppers</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">If you are using fresh bell peppers, dice them and add to the pot with the onions to allow plenty of time for softening</span></li>
</ul>

I wanted to make them HOME pillow and after a few different designs I ended up with this:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/117697833028649685292/2012011002#5696166419646236690" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="200" kba="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-niQ8beMwVa8/TwzZLdiFyBI/AAAAAAAABPM/ecUd7b-EdJk/s400/IMG_0880a.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I was so excited to wrap it, that I forgot to take a picture! I had to snap this pic after they opened on Christmas...needless to say, the lighting conditions were less than perfect ;)</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">For the letters and heart, I used the Silhouette. I don't often plan my creative endeavors in advance, which means I didn't order the fabric fusing from Silhouette. Instead, I tried the regular red package Heat N Bond and it worked perfectly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">As you can see, I used a different fabric for each letter, but all of them were cotton. To start, cut your piece of fabric and Heat N Bond to size. I cut the fabric slightly larger than the Heat n Bond so that the glue wouldn't seep out onto my ironing board during the next step:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Follow the instructions on the package to fuse the Heat N Bond to your fabric. For this one, it was just a matter of ironing the <em>right</em> side of the Heat n Bond to the <em>wrong</em> side of my fabric:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Then it was time to cut! I used a new blade and change the cutting settings to double cut:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">When I first took the carrier off of the Silhouette, I couldn't even see where the cut was - I was amazed with out how sharp and clean the letters turned out:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiew1xRGCsj-JfSKnGXPI2FMTey7ZfQBXhv-aphWWQ9LF1IGn560vvFDQVNhyz4j-S7AstJPgckrRfER5iGBm4V7MMNDl8svEEYgMN6rUvWmZAZGrfJYTrkvbEuZgrP-u-9xc5MILYiGbM/s1600/IMG_0243.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="266" rea="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiew1xRGCsj-JfSKnGXPI2FMTey7ZfQBXhv-aphWWQ9LF1IGn560vvFDQVNhyz4j-S7AstJPgckrRfER5iGBm4V7MMNDl8svEEYgMN6rUvWmZAZGrfJYTrkvbEuZgrP-u-9xc5MILYiGbM/s400/IMG_0243.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Once all the letters were cut (5 minutes later), it was time to peel the backing and iron the letters right to my pillow fabric (I used an unbleached muslin)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7LddejScsgvKvg-mnl3oKz30A88aW3IAzC5mMvKXCYyScIT-hL-GWBP5d4IXiOGX1adbaIwgPKV3HF8fafgeoLtXbFOaSL6P4ywkAo568a86CGnc24rPWPqJ93EWyN3GhVo5Kl6t0dqA/s1600/IMG_0340.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="266" rea="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7LddejScsgvKvg-mnl3oKz30A88aW3IAzC5mMvKXCYyScIT-hL-GWBP5d4IXiOGX1adbaIwgPKV3HF8fafgeoLtXbFOaSL6P4ywkAo568a86CGnc24rPWPqJ93EWyN3GhVo5Kl6t0dqA/s400/IMG_0340.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Then zig zaged around each letter (and heart) with cream thread and I sewed a simple envelope style pillow cover (there's a great how-to here)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Since it was an odd size, I decided to make a quick pillow insert using the same muslin fabric</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I love it so much I'm headed off to get some cute fabric to match my own living room :)</span><br />

It's warm...then it snows...then it's warm...then it snows... This past week we had a few cold and snowy days - perfect soup weather! Hubster is not a fan of soups...or stews...or casseroles. In the past decade I've tried lots of different soups, but the hearty loaded potato soup is the only one he likes...it could be that I also make a batch of bread swirled with garlicy-cheesy deliciousness to go with it....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">4 cups cubed potatoes (I leave the skins on because I'm lazy like that)...its usually about 6 medium potatoes or so</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1 stalk celery, finely minced</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1/4 medium onion, finely minced</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">2 cups chicken stock or broth</span><br />

<em><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">dough</span></em><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1/2 of <a href="http://tastykitchen.com/recipes/main-courses/basic-pizza-crust/">The Pioneer Woman's pizza dough</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">If you're pressed for time and don't want to bother making dough - frozen bread dough works great!</span><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">filling</span></em><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1 cup shredded cheese (more if you like it really cheesy) - I use a colby jack blend</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">2-3 roasted garlic cloves, mashed (2 teaspoons garlic powder or even sauteed garlic also works just fine in a pinch)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1/2 teaspoon pepper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1/2 teaspoon salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1 - Roll out the dough to 3/4 inch thickness</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">2 - Spread the dough evenly with mashed garlic cloves/garlic powder, pepper, salt & cheese</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">3 - Roll up the bread jelly roll style and pinch the edges to seal. Rearrange dough seam side down to bake.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">4 - If your using the PW pizza dough, bake at 375 degrees for 30 min or until golden brown. If you're using frozen bread dough, bake per the package instructions.</span><br />

Organizing my basement...organizing my craft room...organizing my giant stack of recipes that I've written down through the years. This great deal at Family Cookbook Project will finally allow me to get all of my own recipes and my sisters...moms...Hubber's family recipes together all in one place (YAY!) Now I can stop calling my mom every time I misplace my cheesy potato/fudge/sugar cookie recipe :)</span><br />

Coloring, gluing, cutting all sorts of fabric and paper. He churns them out at lightening speed and wants all of them on display (at his eye level). Since we only have so much magnetic real estate in our house, I knew I needed to come up with a different display option.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">There is a small half-wall leading to Munchkin's room. After a quick trip to IKEA we were all set to turn that little half-wall into Munchkin's own art display. I used the </span><a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50072645/"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">BYGEL rail</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> and </span><a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20075947/"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">DIGNITET curtain clips</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">. This little project was less than $10 and I can't tell you how THRILLED he has his very own area to display whatever art work he chooses</span><br />
