Peanut Butter Balls in 20 minutes

Mix peanut butter (2 cups), butter (half a stick) and powered sugar (two cups or add more as needed) in a bowl together. Let it harden in the fridge for around 10 minutes. Form the peanut butter mixture into balls and dip into melted chocolate and place on wax paper. Once the dessert has dried place inside cupcake holders for decoration. 

Fried Wontons

Use Wonton wraps, and but your choice of meat inside. Here I used a pinch of ground beef. I added tiny pieces of sliced cheese inside as well. On a few of them, I put only cheese inside. Brush the edges of the wrap with either water or egg whites. While you are preparing the dish, have a pot with vegetable oil warming up. when the oil is ready, place folded wontons inside pan. Flip the piece while cooking. This is a fast dish and dos not take long to cook. Place on paper towel, on place, when finished to soak up the oil. 

Decorating Your walls with photos

Turning a plain white wall into a photo album.

Our Dining Room.

Using mirrors and photos to add more to a boring room.


Don't buy mirror decorations for a big store that cost between $12-$20. These mirror candle holders are a dollar each. Put double sided sticking tape on the back of the mirrors and pressed them to the wall. Then create your pattern on the wall. These three mirror looked cost $3.

Multiple photo frame decor can cost up to $30. This pattern cost $6. Buy $.0.95 photo frames from Walmart then set your own pattern on the wall with the photos. These are individual frames positioned to look like a larger piece.

Create your own vases...thanks to Pinterest

Home decorated Vases

The Dollar Store Vases when I first got them.

Trying spray painting, painting or glittering your own decorative vases

Glitter vases: Put floor cleaner in the vase then pour out. I poured glitter in the vase and shook it up and dumped out the extra vase. This is mostly for decoration, if you put objects inside you risk scratching the glitter off.

Wash the glass vase out with water and soap. Then I dried the vase completely. I poured paint of my choice in and painted the inside. Turn upside down, on a paper towel, for a few minutes.

I used Puffy Paint and wrote our names on the vases. I waited for them to dry. I then spray painted the vases afterwards. Wait for the first coat of spray paint to dry then do a second coat. Cursive writing looks better than if you print.

Having HuHot right at home




HuHot Grill is delicious. If you are in the mood for this Asian inspired meal try it yourself at home. First, pick your meats ( sausage, crab, chicken or steak), then pick your noodles (the photos include wide egg noodles), pick your veggies (pineapple, corn, green beans or mushrooms) finally finish with your choice of sauce (soy sauce or maybe a kung po sauce). Let simmer and cook for around ten minutes. I cook my green beans firsts for around 30 mintues with pepper, sugar and butter. Once, the green beans are nice and soft I begin the rest of the meal and add the green beans to it.
