New Orleans Style Spicy Shrimp
By attosa
If you like your seafood with bit of a kick, you'll have to try this New Orleans take on shrimp. It's a one-pan dish and ready in minutes. I love this with a piece of fresh crusty bread to mop up the juices. It's very comforting on colder days!
Don't Underestimate Your Car's Trunk Capacity
By 15mhhm15
My fiancé and I learned over the weekend is to not underestimate our trunk, but to work with it. We saved time and money from not renting a truck (or borrowing) to haul this bookcase home - that we got an incredible deal on from Target!
Gumdrop Machine Decoration or Party Centerpiece
By Donna
This simple little project looks oh-so-cute and is super easy to make. A fishbowl, flower pot, markers, and candy is all it takes! You could even color coordinate the pot with your parties theme. It could even make a fun Halloween decoration with orange and black paint and a spiderweb draw on the lid with gummy worms inside!
Small fabric "yo yos" can be made from any scrap fabric and used for a variety of projects. Here they are combined to create a cute decorative Halloween tree. Learn how to make it in this short video.
