                     Say Cheese...….Bread! Cheese bread is really good. So are mozzarella sticks. However, imagine is you want a crispy, golden cheese bread WITHOUT the baking. Also, imagine you want that STRECHED cheese, WITHOUT the frying. This recipe will give you all of that, and a bit more :) So, lets get cooking! Please note: This makes 2 servings Materials: Knife Bowl 1/8 cup 1/2 teaspoon Pastry brush or spatula Toaster oven Ingredients: Shredded cheese: You want shredded cheese because it melts quickly. The type of cheese doesn't matter. I used a Mexican Style Blend : A mix of Colby, Cheddar, and Monterey Jack cheeses. Pasta sauce: I used a garlic and basil flavored pasta sauce. If you do not have pasta sauce, use marinara sauce or crush tomatoes over low-med heat with a bit of water, basil, garlic, and seasoning.  Salt Pepper: You can leave this out if you want, but if you do use it, ...

                              Bread with Italian Dip This is one of my favorite recipes of all time. It is so basic, but is so delicious at the same time. The bread gives a crunchy texture while the dip tastes like pasta and pizza. I just can't express how much I love this recipe.

Mud room / shoe closet Organization Today, I'm going to be showing you how to organize your shoe closet to be more functional and more easy to   clean and access.  If you want a cleaner house, but don't know where to start, this project is great for you! It's really easy and when you are done, you will love going in there just to look at it. For me, that's what I do ;). So, what are you waiting for?? Get in there and start organizing! To start, remove every thing from the closet. EVERY SINGLE THING. Once you've done that, step back and look at EVERY SINGLE THING you have in your shoe closet. I know, right. The pile is so BIG. You may be asking yourselves, why do we need to look at everything. Well, it will give you a realization that THIS is the reason you need to organize it. For me, seeing a pile of jackets, mittens, scarves and shoes really shook me awake, if you know what I mean :) Also, grab a plastic bag or two for trash. Now sort the pile into smaller pil...

 About Me So, this is my blog. Welcome! On this blog, I will be writing about cooking, home organization, and arts and crafts. And, if you couldn't tell, lavender is one of my favorite colors :) Some things about me: I love to organize and I'm pretty good at it. I have acquired a lot of tips and tricks that will save you a lot of time and effort if you are trying to clean your home. I have a passion for cooking. I still use a few recipes here and there, but I've invented some too and they're really tasty and quick. I LOVE to make stuff. Basically, anything you want me to craft, I would have a incredible time building it. I'm handy with a hot glue gun, and cardboard is my hero. I like to diy stuff as decor. Again, my love for organization and making stuff goes hand and hand. Also, I like to read. Like, really like to read. Though I'm not blogging about books, I still really love them. My favorite genre is mystery, not murders, and historical fiction. Comment down...
