Cheerios!

 I love Cheerios!  They are my go-to comfort food.  Yesterday I made my hubby this delicious, easy, sweet and crunchy snack. I don't know what it's called but here's the recipe. 

7 oz. cheerios

1 cup brown sugar

1 cube butter

1/4 cup lite corn syrup

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking soda

Preheat oven to 250 degrees.  Spray or grease (butter) a cookie sheet.  Next heat sugar, butter, syrup and salt until boiling.  Then cook 2 minutes longer stirring constantly.  Remove from heat and add the baking soda.  Stir well.  Put the cheerios in a large bowl, add the hot mixture and stir again.  Place in cookie sheet, spread out and bake 15 minutes.  Cool and cut into squares.

This would be good with different cereals, raisins, nuts, dried fruit etc.

I'm finally over my double dose of bronchitis and it was great to be up and doing something fun and easy!

Beauty from Dorthe!

Well, I have started the new year off rather sick!  The cold, the cough, the headache, etc.  I'll be back on a blogging schedule soon though.  However, I just have to share this little treasure that I bought from Dorthe over at Den Lille Laden.

I was so excited to receive it that I'm amazed I remembered to take a picture before taking off the wrapping.

Inside was a pincushion I had ordered off Dorthe's Etsy store and it is even prettier in person.

Aren't the little children darling?  I also love the lace, buttons and little twigs she's used to adorn it.  I have a small collection of pincushions and am so pleased to add this one.  Just looking at it makes me happy!  Please visit Dorthe's blog.  It's a most wonderful place to sit and read and look at all her wonderful art and dolls.  She is an amazing artist and a most lovely person!

Our 14th Anniversary

Happy New Year to everyone and Happy 14th Anniversary to Craig and me.  I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband!  Everyone loves him and he's one of those people who have no idea he is held in such high regard by others.

We met later in life and one of the best parts of our relationship is that our individual dysfunctions mesh perfectly!  Aahhh!  There wasn't a tremendous amount of changing to do to make things work...just a little shifting.  :)   I think God definitely has a sense of humor and He takes great delight in watching over his children. 

Thank you Lord for your blessings!
