Join me at the CSI Project!

I'm so excited to say that today I'm sharing my tutorial for how to dye yarn in your crock pot over at the CSI Project!

See this yarn?  Made it in my crock pot!

(okay....techincally, I bought the yarn. I did, however dye it in my crockpot)

I have always been inspired by The CSI Project so it's a real honor to help them kick off Slow Cooker Recipes and Crafts week with my tutorial. If you are unfamiliar, make sure you add them to your blog roll! They have a different themed challenge every week where they feature 3 different tutorials (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday) and then on Thursday, they host a link party where you can link your blogged projects and enter to win great prizes!

If you would like to learn the ways of crockpot yarn dying ninjas, please join me over at the CSI Project today!

Better-Than-Canned Pumpkin 101

Last week I had the opportunity to share a guest post over at The Green Kids Guide (edited 2012: Green Kids Guide is now Healthy Home Magazine. This link below has been updated). If you are like me and are always looking for ways to help eliminate BPA exposure (or just like learning new cooking techniques), come check out my post, "A BPA-Free Halloween is as Easy as...Pie!" where I'll teach you how easy it is to make fresh pumpkin puree instead of having to get it from a BPA-lined can.

PLUS you'll get my recipe for chocolate pumpkin spice cake....which is a fabulous way to sneak some fresh veggie nutrition into your husband's or child's diet and they will love you for it!
