Countdown Christmas Plate #pinterestchallenge

Welcome to the November Pinterest Challenge Blog Hop, hosted by <a href="https://mypinterventures.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">My Pinterventures</a>. The purpose of this Pinterest Challenge is to motivate all the participants of this hop (and you too) to not just pin, but to make it happen! This month, I chose to create a Count Down to Christmas Plate!<br />
<br />
I am a big fan of Kim Six, a blogger who does so many wonderful crafts that I admire.  I saw this Countdown Plate before I knew it was Kim's but I wasn't a bit surprised.  Kim is a meticulous crafter. Her directions are spot on and the work itself is just beautiful. You will see that I am a bit different than that!<br />
<br />
<h4>
To make this Countdown Plate you will need</h4>
1 Dollar Tree Charger (they come in red, silver and gold)<br />
1 tube of chalkboard paint<br />
1 foam brush<br />
1 Sharpie paint marker<br />
1 page of Dollar Tree foam stickers<br />
<br />
<h4>
Step 1.</h4>
<br />
I like to wash whatever I am working with a little soap and water and let dry thoroughly.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Step 2.</h4>
<br />
You can tape off the circle in the middle or not.  I typically don't but then again, I don't get the beautiful edges that Kim does.<br />
<h4>
<br />Step 3.</h4>
<br />
Rough up the center with some sandpaper.  That helps the paint to stick a bit better.  Dry wipe the dust off.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Step 4.</h4>
<br />
Paint the center circle of the charger with the chalkboard paint and the foam brush. Clean up the edges as you go. Let dry and repeat a second coat if needed.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<h4>
Step 5.</h4>
<br />
Shake the paint marker and write: Days to Christmas.  Some of you will want to practice your writing or even cut the letters out on vinyl.  That's absolutely fine.  You do you!<br />
<br />
<h4>
Step 6.</h4>
<br />
When the lettering is dry, remove stickers from the packaging and place around the plate as suits your eye.<br />
<br />
Finished!<br />
<br />

<br />
While my project doesn't have the finesse that Kim's does, it took me about 30 minutes to make, including drying time.<br />

Are you looking for that dish to take to the family Thanksgiving that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? I made Gnocchi with Pumpkin Sauce using ingredients from my local <a href="https://www.blogger.com/%3Ca%20href=%22https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=888842&u=1347058&m=64888&urllink=&afftrack=%22%3EShop%20For%20Top%20Quality%20Kitchen%20And%20Tableware%20Supplies%20Today%20At%20DollarTree.com!%20%20%20%3C/a%3E">Dollar Tree</a>!  It was so delicious, easy to make and happy with your budget!<br />

It's no secret that I am a big fan of our neighborhood<a href="https://www.blogger.com/%3Ca%20href=%22https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=888842&u=1347058&m=64888&urllink=&afftrack=%22%3EShop%20For%20Top%20Quality%20Kitchen%20And%20Tableware%20Supplies%20Today%20At%20DollarTree.com!%20%20%20%3C/a%3E"> Dollar Tree.</a>  The store is clean and organized and has such friendly people. I often use them as a resource for projects and recipes. If you haven't been to your Dollar Tree, go now!  I adore their seasonal place settings, too!<br />
<br />
Do you have a favorite recipe where you buy some of the ingredients from Dollar Tree?  For the recipe below, I purchase the gnocchi and the pumpkin puree from Dollar Tree.<br />

Brussels Sprouts Au Gratin #holidaysidedish

My family loves Brussels Sprouts. We love them so much we have tried to grow them in our vegetable garden, but we haven't had much luck with them. We find them at our local Farmer's Market but not often. It makes me wonder if they are difficult to grow!<br />

We love this cheesy version of roasted Brussels Sprouts. We are nuts about them!  The hardest thing is the sauce and it's not really difficult at all!  All the better in my book.  How does your family feel about this cute vegetable?<br />

Brussels Sprouts Au Gratin #holidaysidedish

My family loves Brussels Sprouts. We love them so much we have tried to grow them in our vegetable garden, but we haven't had much luck ...

Autumn Harvest Soup #soupsaturdayswap

There's nothing like a warm bowl of soup to cheer you up on a cold Fall day.  You know what I mean, like the 40s temperatures we have had all week, ending up with snow on November 8.  NOVEMBER 8, people!  This is a fail-proof soup that will get you in and out of the kitchen quickly so you can get close to the fireplace and watching your favorite college football team. (Go Tigers!)<br />
<br />

We enjoyed this soup on a cold Saturday with slices of the Skillet Cornbread with Bacon, Onion, and Cheddar I made last week for #HolidaySideDishes.  Did you see that post?  No?  Just follow the link.  The recipe is outstanding.<br />

Yes, this is made with canned soup.  I happen to like this Well, Yes! brand of soup.  It's made by the Campbell's Soup Company but they have done a lot to clean this soup up.  I can recognize all the ingredients! <br />
<br />
As a young housewife, soup was often on our budgeted grocery list.  We learned how to make canned soup taste good!  Adding fresh spices, a squeeze of lemon juice, extra protein (rotisserie chicken to the rescue!) and some leftover veggies made the soup taste fresh.  Enjoy the extra time you have not cooking!

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Older properties are often full of character and charm, and if you’re really lucky, you’ll find one that holds some historical significance. However, as great and beautiful as older properties can be, they can come with not so desirable quirks that you may want to take into consideration before making the leap, because, depending on what issues a house has, it could impact things like when you’re able to live there, and how much money you’ll have to spend on things like renovations.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Whilst asbestos certainly served a purpose when it was first introduced to the building trade, it’s extremely dangerous to health and has been directly for countless deaths, so it’s not something to be taken lightly at all and needs to be handled by a professional company that specializes in the safe removal of asbestos.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Many older homes have asbestos, and although it may not be problematic if it’s left undisturbed, if you’re planning to carry out any renovations at all, then you should get the property checked over for asbestos first and have that removed before touching anything.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Another issue that older houses may deal with is toxic lead paints that were quite commonly used in the 1970s, and especially if you have young and growing children living at the property, then this is something you’ll need to get checked and deal with promptly - not just because of the associated health risks, but because it’s also the </span><a href="https://www.epa.gov/lead/real-estate-disclosure" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">law</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> if you have children below a certain age in the house.</span></span></div>

<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Although older properties are not necessarily poorly built - in fact many of them were built to a far higher standard and were more robust than a lot of today’s modern properties. However, as with everything, buildings deteriorate over time due to general ageing and climate, so depending on when the property was built and how well it’s been maintained and cared for over the years, then you may have to get some advice to make sure the property is structurally sound and safe to live in or if there’s further restoration work that needs to be carried out on the foundation and structure of the property.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In older properties, a lot of the internal wiring and electrical systems could potentially be quite outdated and in need of some safety checks as well as upgrading. Old or faulty electrics aren’t just a health and safety risk that could cause fires, electrocute you or cause breakage of appliances, but they can also rack up the costs of your monthly electric bill since they’re not going to offer much in the way of energy efficiency like you would find today.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">As with the structural issues that many older properties face, plumbing and roofs can often pose a bit of a problem - especially if they haven’t been updated in a long time or well maintained over the years. Problems with the roof can obviously mean that the house will feel more cold during the winter, and perhaps not able to be cool enough in summer. </span></span></div>

These issues, depending on how severe they are, can also cost quite a lot of money to fix.</span></span></div>

So, having the place checked out and seeing what changes can be made before moving in is always a good idea as this will save you a good bit of money, time, and hassle later down the road.</span></span><br />

Savory Bread Pudding with Onion and Rosemary #HolidaySideDishes

My holiday side dish for today's event is our favorite.  My daughter had savory bread pudding at a restaurant we went to recently and has been asking me to make it.  Her dish was delicious and I was a bit nervous to tackle something that was so good.<br />

Looking at my favorite bread pudding recipe, I knew I had to take out the "sweet" and replace it with savory items. My daughter loves rosemary and onion so I knew that would be a good flavor profile to try. I did a bit of research on savory bread pudding and came up with this one to try.<br />

There, alone with her biggest fears – imperfection, failure, loneliness – she spirals down anorexia and depression till she weighs a mere eighty-eight pounds. Forced to seek treatment, she is admitted as a patient at 17 Swann Street, a peach pink house where pale, fragile women with life-threatening eating disorders live. Women like Emm, the veteran; quiet Valerie; Julia, always hungry. Together, they must fight their diseases and face six meals a day.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Every bite causes anxiety. Every flavor induces guilt. And every step Anna takes toward recovery will require strength, endurance, and the support of the girls at 17 Swann Street.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am one of those people who doesn't have any friends that have suffered from anorexia, and therefore had no basis for understanding what it is.  In this book, Anna becomes my friend, and I learn firsthand what it is like with this terrible disease.  Anna and the residents at 17 Swann Street allow me to see their pain through the eyes of a sufferer. I was there, I know what happened. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Set in Missouri, I was intrigued by the thought that perhaps there is such a home here in my state. I would love to know but I believe there are rules against things like that. When I was going through treatment for breast cancer, I was showered with all kinds of support and love.  Some groups made throws, painted rocks, sent cards, and knit socks for our cold feet. Do the women in these centers have that kind of support? </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This book inspired me to look beyond the body, beyond the mental issues surrounding this disease, into the hearts, souls, and minds of the women with anorexia.  </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As to the craft of the author, I am reminded of a dream-like, foggy background like in She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb. In this case, we see the world through the mind of Anna, who because of her disease, has a cloudy memory. We have to dig to find out what is happening that is real.  I also was brought in by the author allowing the caregivers to show their pain as well. It was real and painful. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px;">
Even though this is heavy stuff, I highly recommend this book.  I believe a book club could find lots of ways to discuss this book and get down to some real understanding of the life of a woman with anorexia.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px;">

<br />
Of all the things, Thanksgiving side dishes are my favorite. I generally get one serving of turkey, but then I load up on Thanksgiving side dishes.  My favorites are noodles, mashed potatoes and gravy, dressing, any kind of Brussels Sprouts, and anything that is at our table for the first time. Then I did in.<br />
<br />
My sister makes homemade rolls every year. She uses my grandmother's recipe, so nothing will ever top that bread on our table. This Skillet Corn Bread with Bacon, Onion, and Cheddar might raise some eyebrows, though. I use a sweet cornbread mix as the base and then, lord help me, I add bacon and cheese. Then onion, sauteed in butter.  It's Thanksgiving after all.<br />

This is a tender cornbread.  My husband will put a piece in a bowl, chop it up a bit, and add milk to eat. He says it is delicious. I have seen him add maple syrup to it, too.  Anyone else do this?<br />

Friday Favorites #20

Hello, my friends!  I'm sharing lots of goodies to share with you today, and I have had a wonderful time gathering these as I think of you.  My husband is in Las Vegas, my daughter is in Indiana, so I am at home alone with the three dogs.  You know what means, don't you?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ulGbnTdGupc/W-Syljm0vzI/AAAAAAAAttk/tU5IpKXeMUwG1UaW2HvLrYeWQc2heNWSACLcBGAs/s1600/Friday%2BFavorites%2B%25282%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1102" data-original-width="735" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ulGbnTdGupc/W-Syljm0vzI/AAAAAAAAttk/tU5IpKXeMUwG1UaW2HvLrYeWQc2heNWSACLcBGAs/s640/Friday%2BFavorites%2B%25282%2529.png" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
CRAFTING ALL OVER THE HOUSE!  I have several projects going all at once and I don't have to clean them up in a hurry. Those are going to sit around the house and I will get so much accomplished since I won't have to stop and clean up each time. This might have to become an annual event.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/--JVYpVViwb8/W-SzZHj5BQI/AAAAAAAAtts/irA8-eLcaqEJP2tmdaLJEmWkWqzYLWkzwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_Nov82018at40438PM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="800" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/--JVYpVViwb8/W-SzZHj5BQI/AAAAAAAAtts/irA8-eLcaqEJP2tmdaLJEmWkWqzYLWkzwCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_Nov82018at40438PM.jpg" width="474" /></a></div>
<br />
When I am not crafting, I am reading!  I have a mug of hot chocolate and a good book in my hand. I just started reading The Library Book by Susan Orlean. A teaching colleague of mine got in touch with me and said I had to read it. I made it a recommendation of my book club and they chose it!  I can't even give you a synopsis, as I have about 1/2 page done!<br />
<br />
<iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ac&ref=qf_sp_asin_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=our071-20&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=1476740186&asins=1476740186&linkId=7ec90fd85d3acc9e1d7539fb190fcbe2&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=false&price_color=333333&title_color=1691f0&bg_color=ffffff" style="height: 240px; width: 120px;"><br /> </iframe><br />
<br />
I feel like November is swiftly passing by! Do you feel that way, too?  I have so much to do, and then my family and I are heading to Cabo San Lucas to celebrate my 60th birthday. I cannot imagine having the time to do everything I need to do before November 16.  When we get back, on Thanksgiving night, we will wake up to start decorating for Christmas.  I'm thinking to have my annual Cookie Exchange that Saturday and then on Sunday we are driving up to my hometown to have Thanksgiving with my mom and sister. I'm already tired.<br />
<br />
Are you playing holiday music yet? I am listening to Sirius Radio holiday channels when I am on the road.  My favorite is the Holly channel.  It's a pop music station so it plays more current selections. The link below will take you to their holiday music page.<br />
<br />

<br />
I still in love with my Miracle Morning routine. I had to miss a day due to an emergency with my blog, and I was mad. I managed to get my Tai Chi in so I did feel good about that. I purchased this darling <a href="https://www.apolisglobal.com/">Apolis</a> tote to hold my journals, some pens, the books I am reading, my November Gratitude sheet and some other things that I am doing as a part of this routine.  It is completely customizable.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Let me know your weekend plans!  I am going to finish up Christmas crafts, and make some decisions on what decorations I want to put up this year. That will put me in the frame of mind that I am staying ahead of the rush!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
