VIDEO: The BEST Way to Quit Your Job

Tuesday, October 18th, 2011

Do you ever ask yourself “What if I won the lottery?” Do you ever dream of how you would quit your job if that happened? Like I was thinking maybe I’d streak down the hallways, wearing nothing but a melon bra, holding a big drum, and I’d start singing “I Don’t wanna work, I just wanna bang on the drums all day” over the airwaves. Something along those lines. But here’s a guy who DID quit his job, and he did it in a pretty awesome way.

If you could quit your job in an epic fashion? How would you do it?

Hallowe’en – How can I beat an Outhouse?

Monday, October 17th, 2011

So I TOTALLY outdid myself last year. I decided to be an outhouse. Probably the cheapest costume I’ve ever made, but PERSONALLY, I thought it quite fantastic… Here’s what it looked like:

So now that the Wolf Howl is only 10 days away, I have NO idea what I should be this year. Perhaps a giraffe with no pants on or a pink flamingo? HELP.

Turkey Leftovers? BREAKFAST recipes to use them up!

Tuesday, October 11th, 2011

These are all recipes that use your leftovers from Thanksgiving for breakfast! Meaning you can have a meal that involves turkey, 3 times a day!

Sweet Potato Waffles

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup mashed sweet potatoes — already cooked
2 eggs — lightly beaten
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup butter — melted
3 Tablespoons sugar
2/3 teaspoon baking powder
a pinch of salt
In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, potatoes, butter and eggs.

In separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar baking powder and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet ones. Stir well. Cook waffles at your favorite setting.

This makes 8 to 10 waffles.

I love these with maple syrup. They’re also great with just butter and a sprinkle of brown sugar.

2. Combine flour and baking powder in measuring cup. Add to sugar mixture alternately with yogurt beginning and ending with flour mixture.

3. Pour batter into a muffin pan coated with non-stick cooking spray and dusted with flour. (Or use muffin cups.) Spoon cranberry sauce evenly over batter; sprinkle with almonds.

4. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until muffins are done (check by inserting a toothpick until it come out clean). Make glaze: combine all glaze ingredients in a small bowl and stir until smooth. Drizzle muffins with glaze.

Recipe from Mr. Breakfast

Turkey Breakfast Pizza

1 pound turkey sausage
5 medium eggs beaten
1 package (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
1 cup frozen hash brown potatoes defrosted
1 cup Cheddar cheese shredded
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese grated
Squeeze sausage from casings into a medium-size skillet. Cook over medium heat, 6 to 10 minutes or until no longer pink. Drain sausage, if necessary.

Unroll crescent rolls and separate dough. In 12-inch round pizza pan arrange crescent rolls with points toward center. Press rolls over bottom and up the sides of pan to form pizza crust, sealing perforations.

Top pizza crust with cooked sausage, potatoes and Cheddar cheese.

In a medium bowl combine eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour egg mixture VERY SLOWLY over turkey and potato mixture. Top with Parmesan cheese.

Bake in a preheated 375 degree F oven for 25 minutes or until cooked through and golden.

To serve, slice pizza into 8 wedges.
