HEART DISEASES: Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, put it on toast instead of jelly and jam and eat it regularly for breakfast.

Regular use of cinnamon honey strengthens the heart beat. In America and Canada, various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as one ages the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and the veins.

ARTHRITIS: Arthritis patients can benefit by taking one cup of hot water with two tablespoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. When taken daily even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week (out of the 200 people so treated) practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain -- and within a month, most all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis now started walking without pain.

Banana Pudding

I saw this banana pudding recipe on Facebook and it reminded me of how I use to make banana pudding to take to potluck events...

 

I would purchase a gallon can of premade vanilla pudding at the store...brought it home and dumped out in a big bowl...sliced up a half dozen bananas into the pudding and stirred...

 

then I took the container I was going to take to the potluck and placed vanilla wafers in the bottom and poured a little pudding on top to hold them in place...

 

then I placed rows of vanilla wafers all around the sides of the bowl adding more pudding to hold each layer...when all the pudding was in the container I made a "flower" design on top with more vanilla wafers.

 

Every time I took this everyone raved about what good banana pudding it was (and wanted the recipe) and it was always gone first. For those of you would prefer something more traditional...here is a recipe from Paula Deen.

Jerry's Chicken and Green Chilies Lasagna

Jerry's Chicken and Green Chilies Lasagna

 

 

 

One of our kids childhood friends Jerry posted this really good looking recipe and I ask him to send it and he did.

Ok...here is it:

3 jars of prepared alfredo sauce,

3 little cans green chilies (don't drain them),

three cans of chicken (I use Tyson),

one medium sized onion, 

one 8cup package of mozzarella cheese,

and shredded parmesan cheese,

box of lasagna noodles.

 

Get the pasta sheets boiling in super salty water. while the pasta cooks cut the onion into a small dice and soften it in one 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat (about 7-8 minutes). 

Add a little salt and pepper. The salt will help the onions soften. 

While that works open the chicken and drain them completely. 

Add the chicken to the skillet along with the chilies in juice and heat through. 

Next add the 3 jars of alfredo sauce and heat to a simmer.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a lasagna dish or deep casserole dish (sprayed with nonstick spray) place a little of the sauce in the bottom and lay some of the lasagna sheets down to form a layer, add more sauce on top (up to you on this...less sauce makes a denser lasagna), then mozzarella and sprinkle with parmesan. 

Continue making layers until the dish is full. Be sure that your top layer is mozzarella and parmesan. Next tear off a sheet of foil and spray the side that will touch the top of the lasagna.  Make sure it is sealed well and bake for 45 minutes covered and 15 uncovered to brown. 

If it doesn't brown leave for 10 more minutes.  Take it out and let it set for 10 minutes uncovered.  Serve and enjoy!

Surprise Yard Work Done

I came home from work and my Granddaughter and Grandson were out in my yard and had mowed, edged, cut tree limbs and bushes, and cleaned off my front patio. They hauled off two pick up loads of limbs, etc. We use to work in the yard all the time, but the older we got the less we got out in the yard. For many years we have had the best lawn mowing guy in the world, but this time the kids gave him a break. It was an awesome surprise! It is the little things in life that give me pleasure.

Fall Wreath - Recycled Jeans

 

This is the wreath I made for my Granddaughter for fall.

I took a small wire coat hanger and formed it into a circle.

Then I cut an old pair of jeans into strips.

None were exactly the same width or length:)

I tied the jean fabric all around the coat hanger,

making sure they were pushed together.

Then I attached the three mum like flowers to the wreath.

Party Products

One of my Great Grandsons, Jordan, wanted his birthday party to have the Mudslinger Monster Truck theme. So, I got on line and look for the party supplies and compared prices. I found that Party Products had the largest selection with the best prices. Some of the items we needed they did not have enough in stock so I still used my old stand by ShinDigz to order the rest of the stuff. I would recommend both of these companies, because they are much cheaper (even with the shipping) than going to one of the party supply stores.

So much to learn...

 

When our children or grandchildren are young there is so much for them to learn.

This Great Grandson is lucky that he has a Mom who teaches him something every day.

She makes his learning activities fun with song, dance or just acting silly.

Learning about travel with his cars!
Note the different countries on his map.

Trying on hats at the store...

Some times the hat you wear tells a story.

Trying on Daddy's clothes...

with Daddy away she makes sure he

talks to him nearly everyday.

His Mom does a great job!

National Hispanic Heritage Month

National Hispanic Heritage Month

 

The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on September 15 and ending on October 15. It was enacted into law on August 17, 1988, on the approval of Public Law 100-402.

 

During National Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 to October 15) we recognize the

contributions made and the important presence of Hispanic and Latino Americans to the

United States and celebrate the group's heritage and culture. Hispanics have had a profound and positive influence on our country through their strong commitment to family, faith, hard work, and service. They have enhanced and shaped our national character with centuries-old traditions that reflect the multiethnic and multicultural customs of their community.

Hispanic Heritage Month, whose roots go back to 1968, begins each year on September 15, the anniversary of independence of five Latin American countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. Mexico, Chile and Belize also celebrate their independence days during this period and Columbus Day (Día de la Raza) is October 12.

The term Hispanic or Latino, refers to Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race. On the 2010 Census form, people of Spanish, Hispanic and/or Latino origin could identify themselves as Mexican, Mexican American, Chicano, Puerto Rican, Cuban, or "another Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin."

According to this Census, 50.5 million people or 16% of the population are of Hispanic or Latino origin. This represents a significant increase from 2000, which registered the Hispanic population at 35.3 million or 13% of the total U.S. population.

Please share in this special annual tribute by learning and celebrating the generations of Hispanic Americans who have positively influenced and enriched our nation and society.

 

 

Outside Ashtrays

One of my pet peeves is that smokers drop their butts on the ground...especially when they toss them in someone else's yard. I really get hot when I see them tossed out a window of a car! Well, at my house I have always had a tin can with a half brick or rock in it for cigarette butt disposal. There is one on the porch at my daughter's house too. Well, the other day my Granddaughter ask if I would make her one for her house. I guess she had been picking up the yard and some of their friends had been tossing cigarette butts on the ground. Anyway, I found two - one gallon tin cans. One of them I had already covered in animal print paper and the other I covered with a piece of left over plastic table cloth. Just glue the covering to the can. You can just use the can without the covering, but I like them covered.

You do not have to write on the cans, but I did on these.

Here are some examples of the cool things they share:

 

 

 

 

 

R.I.P. Karma

My son and his family lost their dog Karma.

She was a good dog, but got very ill and they had to put her down. They were all so sad and are just lost without her. Losing a member of the family, is one of the hardest things we ever have to do in our lives. It doesn't matter if it was a human member, or the kind who thinks they are human. My heart goes out to Erick, Vanessa, Chase, Austin and Blake on the loss of their beloved Karma.

 

 

 

Webbed Window and Spider Wreath

These two neat ideas popped up on my Better Homes and Garden e-mail

and I wanted to share them with you. Super simple and easy to do crafts.

Webbed Window Covering

Turn a front door window into a spider's clever trap with black crafts tape. Start with three long strips of tape, creating an off-center X shape with two pieces and using the third to cut across the middle of the X, dividing your glass window into six sections. Starting at the center, add tape strips to each section until a web starts to take shape.

Scary Spider Wreath

A bag of inexpensive plastic spiders and a plastic foam wreath are all you need to create a creepy-crawly front door wreath. Simply paint a wreath shape black and hot-glue the spiders to the wreath. And make sure to save space in the center for the mother-of-all: a big arachnid.
