Easy Kitchen Update...

NOT!

So Brian and I purchased our house over 3 years ago. We have had many plans, but plans take time, energy, and money. We have done a few things (that we are ready to change already), but a lot of the things that we plan on doing we talk about a lot but that was it, talk...

Deciding to utilize the time that Brian has off from work we decided to take down the hideous wallpaper and paint the kitchen. Well as the usual Wells (Brian's last name) Curse goes nothing is ever that easy. Have a look...

Here is the hideous outdated wallpaper that was up in the kitchen. Don't you just love the quails and bouquets?


Here is the equally breathtaking accent paper.


Here is one half of our kitchen, the microwave is new but the stove is old, I actually think it was used to make The Last Supper.


Sink area...


Here is the other half of the kitchen, please don't mind the chaos of a ribbon board.


The paper in the kitchen came off much easier than the paper in the dining room. Underneath the paper there was a blue that reminded me of Martha Blue!


So about the wallpaper, IT WAS ON THE CEILING! ON THE CEILING!! When we took it down was when the can of worms began to open. With the wallpaper off of the ceiling we were able to see water damage.


We called Brian's dad to come over and evaluate and he told us what had to be done, hours later, sore backs, this is what has become of our easy kitchen update...


Good thing that we didn't have any New Year Eve plans!


These are the colors that we have narrowed our choices down to. We are going to paint the cabinets white and replace all of the knobs and hinges with brushed silver.


These pictures are of the old Poland Bake Shoppe. It was a very popular bakery that was open for years.

Filled Jelly Roll...

The jelly rolls were super easy to make and an absolute success. Everyone ate every last crumb of them. We spent the afternoon in Cleveland yesterday and we got home around 5:45 to leave our house around 6:15. In that half hour I had enough time to defrost the genoise cake, whip the cream, fill the roll and roll it up. Have a look...

I first started by whipping very cold heavy cream in the clean bowl of an electric mixer, I added 3 tablespoons of sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla to 1 C. heavy cream.


Unfortunately I was all out of my homemade jam so I had to use Smucker's strawberry jam. If you try making one of these do not frost the jam all the way to the edge of the genoise cake.


Next goes the whipped cream, it is important to not go all the way to the end of the cake with the cream or it will mush all the way out of the end.


Here is the finished cake with a fresh sprinkling of powdered sugar. I put it on my beautiful Martha Stewart Collection leaf platter.


So delicious!

Merry Christmas...

I would like to say Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of my blogging friends out there. I never expected to receive such a wonderful response to my blog. I also never expected to establish such great relationships and find the immense amount of inspiration by reading the blogs that I do.

I look forward to many more years of sharing my life and gaining insight and inspiration from all of the creative and wonderful people who I consider friends.

Thank you!

I Don't Think Your Ready...

for this jelly roll...

When I saw Martha and Sarah Carey make jelly rolls on Martha I just knew I had to try them... This is what I am taking to dinner at Brian's family's house. The jelly roll was my idea and they requested that I make potato salad (who knew, potato salad for Christmas dinner). Have a look...

You first start off by heating eggs and sugar in the heat-proof bowl of an electric mixer. After the egg mixture is warm to the touch it needs to be whipped on medium-high speed until it is light and fluffy.


It is amazing how fluffy this mixture gets after being whipped for a bit longer on high speed.


The dry ingredients are then sifted onto the top of the egg mixture.


Then gently folded in.


4 tablespoons of melted butter are then poured into the mixture making sure to pour the butter towards the outside of the bowl, gently fold until combined.


The batter is then poured into a greased and floured sheet pan.




While the cake bakes (for 7 minutes in a 450˚F oven) you need to prepare a clean kitchen towel (a flour sack towel or one without naps or lint) needs to be sifted with a generous amount of confectioners sugar.


As soon as the cake comes out of the oven it needs to be turned out onto the clean towel. Gently remove the parchment paper and roll the cake so the cake cools in a roll and when cooled it can be rolled again without cracking.


And repeat the entire process for a second jelly roll for a dinner we are going to on Friday.



Here are the two rolls cooling in the towels. After they were completely cooled I wrapped them in the plastic wrap and froze them. I will thaw them a few hours before I fill them with a layer of whipped cream and jam.

More Photoshop and Light box foolery...

More Photoshop and Light box foolery...

Photoshop Novice...

I have Photoshop on my MacBook Pro, but I have no idea how to use it. There are so many bells and whistles that I get overwhelmed and just close the program. I found this post online with instructions on how to construct a photo box to take photos inside and then further instructions on how adjust your photos using Photoshop.

Since my mom got our Christmas card I decided to use that as my first photobox/Photoshop subject.




I also made this glittered leaf card. I love how this photo came out!

BBQ Pulled Pork Sliders...

I am posting this recipe for my sister-in-law Lorrie. Brian and I hosted a Princess House party and I made BBQ pork sliders. Well Brian is having his office holiday party tomorrow and he requested I make a cake with Nutella Swiss Meringue Buttercream and BBQ pulled pork sliders. They are super easy to make and everyone seems to like them.

I made up the recipe and since I am a vegetarian I have never tasted them...

Here is the recipe.

Start off by generously seasoning a 7-8 lb (or bigger) pork butt roast with salt and pepper...


Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan on high heat. Place the pork roast in the pan once it is very HOT.


The object of the hot pan is to sear a crust onto the entire roast. All sides need to be browned so take your time, about 3-5 minutes per side and do not move the roast around. Let it sear for 3-5 minutes and then turn, repeat until all sides are browned.


Here is my twist, I place the roast, 1 medium onion thinly sliced, and about a teaspoon of fresh thyme (optional) in a crock pot on high. I then fill the pot with a bottle of Simply Apple cider.


Here is the roast after it has cooked for about 6 hours. I let the roast cool a bit and then use a colander to drain the juice and cider. The reason that I use a colander is to collect the delicious onions and put them back into the roast.


Using two forks shred the roast. The roast was so tender from cooking so long that I only had to use one fork and little effort.


I then mixed the shredded pork with one full bottle of Brian's favorite BBQ sauce.



I like serving this pork on mini potato rolls and people make their own sliders (which are mini sandwiches).


I hope Brian's office mates love them!

CLOTHESPIN COOKIE FORMS...

A few people have been looking for or asking about the molds to make clothespin cookies. I found a few places online that sell molds like the ones that I have...

Here are a few online sources for what are called Cream Horn Molds

You can also find a lot of sources by searching for Cannoli or cream horn molds...

Cookie Exchange 2008...

I was so excited when my friend Steph asked me back to participate in her 2nd cookie exchange. Last year the cookies were good, but this year they are alllllll soooooooooo delicious. Steph and I both ate so many cookies yesterday that we had stomach aches. We each left with 12 dozen cookies!


Let's start with the cookies that were made by Steph's mom.

Here are some beautiful Vanilla & Anise pizzelles.


These were my personal favorite 7 layer cookies...


Brian and Nicole have been eating tons of these no-bake cookies...


Steph made classic buckeyes which are peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate they are made to resemble the buckeye which is the state nut. They are so good!


These are sooooo good they are haystacks which are chow mein noodles and peanuts held together with caramel and chocolate.


These are also classic Christmas cookies which are a delicious buttery cookies with a Reese's Peanut butter cup pressed in. YUM!


I CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT YEAR...

Good Enough to Eat?

I finished my cookies for the 2nd Annual Fellenger Cookie Exchange Extravaganza Blow-out tomorrow. I had a little extra time so I decided to dress my cookies up a bit to make them look beautiful. I used colored paper, decorative leaf punches to make holly, glittered leaves, labels, and other cute things to make my cookies look extra special.

I scallop cut strips of brown crosshatch paper to wrap each dozen of lime melt-aways.


I used a decorative leaf punch and red dots punched out of paper with a simple hole punch to create the look of holly...


A hand written sticker label finished off the package and then the leaves were glued in place...



Here are the cookies in the ADORABLE Martha Stewart Crafts gingerbread cookie boxes.


The clothespin cookies were put into plastic treat bags and then tied with decorative baker's twine. I then tied a few glittered leaves to the twine and placed an adhesive label on the bag...


All of the cookies then went into the box and were covered with tissue paper (all of which were included in the Martha Stewart Crafts gingerbread cookie box kit).


The packages are sealed with a beautiful red ribbon and an equally beautiful label, which were also included in the kit.


I love the little gingerbread village on the side of these boxes.


I was originally going to do jam striped cookies but they came out looking like they were ran over by a car. I then decided to make white chocolate chip cookies with cranberries and macadamia nut! YUM! They were actually too big to fit into a box, so I had to adorn them with "poinsettias" which I made by gluing together mutiple leaves which I punched and then green dots that I punched out using a regular hole punch. They were affixed to glassine paper which I cut into circles using MS circle cutter (which is one of my favorite new tools)



Here are all of my cookies ready to be delivered tomorrow!


I am excited because I have tomorrow off so I will be baking the cake for Brian's office party. I am also going to make BBQ pork sliders. I braise a pork roast in Simply Apple juice all day, shred it, and then mix it with BBQ sauce. I am a vegetarian so I don't eat it, but I have heard it is good.

Mini Paper Forrest!

I knew that when I saw Martha Stewart make these adorable Paper Evergreens I had to make them too!

I decided to use my MS Everyday cake stand from K-mart as the setting for my little forrest. I used some MS crafts ribbon to wrap around the stand.


I used double-stick tape at the base of each spool to hold the trees in place.


I glittered each tree and then topped them with a an acrylic gem.



I just love these little trees!


I made more than would fit on the large cake stand so I had to use a smaller MS Collection one from Macy's for the 3 remaining trees. I used a piece of paper as a collar on the stand.




Here are the two cake stands side by side. I love how they look. I think I may put some cotton batting down on the tops of each stand to look like a snowy forest floor.

December One-Stroke Open House...

Today I participated in the December One-Stroke open house. I just wanted to post a few pictures of what I painted while there for two hours.

This plate was the first thing that I painted.


I need to work on my poinsettias but this I like how this card came out.


I decided to give this little guy another try. One customer commented that I must have a lot of patience to paint the scarf. Really it only took about 10 minutes to paint this entire card.


This was the last card that I painted before I had to go.


After I left the open house I went shopping and there were about 8484 billion people shopping. I bought some cute Martha Stewart Crafts cookies boxes to package up my cookies for the Fellenger cookie exchange.

Oh yeah, and Brian put in an order for about 200 clothespin cookies!

Clothespin Cookie Filling & Lime Melt-aways...

In my last post I shared my trial and error process of making Clothespin cookies. I was too tired to make the filling and fill the cookies by the end of the evening so I decided to freeze the shells and fill them later. Here is the finale of Clothespin Cookies...

The filling starts out by creaming 1/4 lb of Crisco and 2/3 C. of granulated sugar...


After that has creamed (about 3 minutes) add 6 oz evaporated milk and 1 tsp. vanilla. The original recipe calls for 1 "small can of evaporated milk" there is really no exact measurement but I used the smallest can that I could find and it was 12 oz. and that was wayy too much. It is also good to make sure your crisco is at room temp and possibly a bit warm. Mine did not want to mix with the milk so I microwaved it for about 20 seconds and it came together beautifully.


Now, Brian's mom had an electric cookie press that she used to fill the cookies. Her cookie press broke years ago so Brian was excited to find this battery operated one that makes the job quick and easy... I am sure if you do not have one of these you can use a pastry bag and injector tip.


Here is a freshly filled cookie...


After all of the cookies have been filled they get tossed around in powdered sugar. I removed each cookie with a slotted spoon to shake off the excess sugar.


Here are all of the cookies...


The second type of cookie that I will be exchanging will be Lime Melt-aways. The recipe is easy, quick, and yields a lot.
Start off by creaming butter and powdered sugar and mixing it with plenty of fresh lime zest and juice.



The cookie dough is then rolled into a log and chilled in the refrigerator for about an hour. Once they are firm they are sliced in to 1/4 inch rounds and spaced an inch apart to bake in a 350˚F oven for 13 minutes.


After the baked cookies have cooled for 10 minutes they are then tossed in powdered sugar.



This recipe yielded about 50 cookies. I will finish my baking on Sunday!

Clothespin Cookies...

Last year when I was asked to participate in the Fellenger Cookie Exchange I was excited . One question that my friend Steph asked was if I knew how to make Clothespin Cookies. I told her that I had never made them but I inherited a recipe from my mother-in-law and I know that everyone loved hers.

The recipe called for making your own puff pastry. Hours of carefully rolling out dough and layering it with fat, then letting chill, then rolling it out, then layering it with more fat. Last year I decided to use the recipe and delicately babied the dough for quite a few hours. It was night time by the time the dough was ready to roll out and make cookies. When the timer on my oven beeped to let me know that these cookies that I had cared for all day were ready I went to the oven door. When I opened the door there were piles and puddles of what looked like something one of our dogs leaves on the carpet when they eat grass from outside.

I was so upset and made our old roommate Rachel drive me to the grocery store. I went in and bought frozen puff pastry and attempted to make the cookies, not sure if it would work or not. Well it did work, beautifully. By the time I was done with all of my cookies it was close to 4:00AM and I was exhausted. We had to be up to Cleveland early the next day so I only got a few hours of sleep before we had to leave the house. We were in Cleveland all day and had to drive back down in a blizzard. We made it to the cookie exchange with my clothespin cookies and two other types to trade, I was so traumatized by the clothespin disaster that I really can not recall what the other two types of cookies I decided to take were.

Anyway, this year I decided to live by the philosophy that life is too short to make your own puff pastry and decided to make the clothespin cookies from frozen puff pastry. It works so beautifully and cuts hours off of the baking process. Clothespin cookies are called Clothespin cookies because they were originally strips of dough wrapped around a wooden clothespin, they were then baked and filled with cream when cooled. After the cookies were filled they are then rolled in powdered sugar.

Have a look at my clothespin cookies this year....

I think that every family has recipes that look like this. Every time I get these recipes out I get a bit emotional because they belonged to Brian's mother Carol. We lost Carol a few years ago to cancer, and her husband (Brian's dad) Ronnie gave me Carol's recipes and a lot of her baking equipment. I was quite honored that I was chosen to receive these belongings.


While going through my own cookbook I asked Brian if it was weird that some of my recipes have bits of ingredients stuck to them. I then told him that one day one of our children will get to inherit my cookbook and maybe they will feel the feeling that I get when I pull out Carol's old recipes and smile when I see that they are stained and worn from years of use. I hope so...


Here are Carol's original molds, they are hollow aluminum. There are even clothespins that she used to make cookies!


Again, trust me, under the life is too short category pre-made frozen puff pastry will save you a world of headache!


The dough is rolled out very thin, about 2 feet long and 6 inches high. I rolled it out to maybe about 1/8th of an inch thick...


The dough is then cut into 1/2 inch strips.


The strips are then rolled around the molds and placed on an un-greased baking sheet.



Here are our little beasts wondering if they are going to be getting any clothespin cookies. The answer is NO!


After about 9 minutes in a 450˚F oven the cookies are ready to come out.


Batch two!



I got about 90 cookies from 1 box of puff pastry.


I was going to fill them this evening, but we do not have any evaporated milk for the filling. I am just going to let them cool and then freeze them until I get the energy/motivation/time to fill them. I will blog about that later.


VIVA LA PRE-MADE PUFF PASTRY!!!

Cards of Christmas Past...

Every year for the past 6 years I have made our Christmas cards. That means that I have been making them since I was 23 and lived in Florida. When I began I had little supplies and money to create these cards, now I have my "crafting command center." My sister Marcie has an entire room in her house dedicated to her stamping. The first year I decided to make cards I went to her stamp room and was introduced to colorful stamps, inks, embossing powder, and heat guns. It was then that I discovered how much more rewarding it is to make your own cards than to buy a box.

People grow to anticipate hand-made cards to see what you will create and if you outdid the previous year's creation. I believe my mom is my number one fan who was disappointed the year that I decided to use a photograph of a wreath I made as the photo on our card rather than a hand-painted creation.

Have a look at the cards from the previous years.

2003: This was the earliest card I made that I could find. I loved this idea (of course from Martha Stewart), but by the time I was done I loathed the cards! We did not have pinking sheers and we could not afford them so I had to hand cut the zig zag edge on each ribbon for 50 cards. The original design is sewn down the middle to create a tree trunk, again no sewing machine or money!


2004: This one was my first hand-painted creation. As you can see my painting skills have improved, I went from novice to teacher and the years of practice have paid off. For some reason this is my mom's favorite card.


2005: These two cards were after I had been painting for a few years. I hand-painted over 50 cards including the background. With the first card I was going for a primitive antique snowman look and the second a more whimsical cute look.


2006: This is the year my mother kindly said, "what the heck is this." Well she did not really say that, but I could sense a bit of disappointment on not receiving a hand-painted card. I remember hand wiring all of these glass ornaments while watching a movie. I love this wreath and it has become a regular part of our holiday decor.


2007: I think that this card was my personal favorite. I love the plump snowman and his happy smile.


I am mailing out our Christmas cards tomorrow so I will not post a picture of it until I know that my mom has received hers. I do not to spoil the surprise.

I hope you guys like these pictures and look forward to seeing some of your holiday creations.

Early Christmas Gift...

Brian and I got an email a little over two weeks ago about a dog named Shelly. Shelly was taken to the Animal Welfare League in Lordstown quite some time ago with a litter of pups and another dog. All of the other dogs were adopted, but not Shelly. By the time we were called Shelly was going to be put down to make room in the shelter for more dogs. The amazing people of K-9's for Compassion knew that we were able to foster Vinny and asked if we could help save Shelly. Of course we agreed and I picked Shelly up on a Tuesday afternoon. When I got to the shelter the employees seemed excited about the fact that Shelly was getting out to stretch her legs. I remember one worker saying, "Your here to get Shelly? Oh she is fun!" When i took Shelly outside she was so excited to be out I don't think that she even noticed me.

I got her in the car and was driving for a bit before she noticed I was there and gave me a few kisses to the cheek. I got Shelly home and inside she was greeted by the wagging tails of two of our dogs and the snarling and terrifying vicious dangerous barks of our 7 pound mini-Daschund Lucy. Well they all became quick friends. Have a look at the pics of our time with "Shelly"...

Here is the flyer for Shelly...

SHELLY NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!
Any help you can give to help place Shelly or have someone foster her till she finds a home will be ever so much appreciated.  She has been with us at Animal Welfare League in Warren.   They were very thin when they came in – all the pups were placed.  She is quiet and loves to play.

As I was saying earlier Shelly did not even notice me in the car for about 10 minutes.


This was her after she noticed me...


After a few days of Shelly being here it was quite apparent that she was no Shelly. I made an executive decision to change her name to Molly. Here is MOLLY.


We were asked to provide K-9's for Compassion with pictures of Molly. I worked my dog whisperer photography skills and came up with these.



Of course Lucy had to get in on the action...


A few days before Thanksgiving we got an email that there was a doctor interested in Molly. I spoke with him on the phone and he wanted to know if he could come and see Shelly, I told him that I changed her name to Molly since Shelly did not feel right. He said that it was such a coincidence because his beloved dog that passed away was named Molly. He took this as a sign that he needed to come see Molly.

Well, he ended up loving Molly and adopted her on Tuesday. We took Molly to his house to meet his dogs and there were a few barks at first, but once distracted with a treat they were all fast friends. Here are some pictures of Molly in her new home with her new sisters.



I titled this blog post Early Christmas Gift because I think it is a true gift that Molly found a home, the gentleman who adopted her got a loving dog, and we had the fulfilling experience of saving another life.

If you ever get the opportunity to foster a dog, I recommend, it so rewarding. The opportunity to save a life for a few scoops of dog food, a warm place to sleep for a while, and a place in your heart is an experience that I can not describe. I am so glad that Brian asked me to foster Vinny and Molly.

I am also proud of our babies Charlie, Sofia and Lucy. They are always so quick to welcome a new friend into their pack and show them what it is like to be loved and cared for by owners who would not trade them for the world.

SAY WHAT? 100 PEOPLE?

The title of this blog post is what I said on the inside when I was asked to make a cake to serve 100 people. I once made a cake for 50 people and there was barely enough to feed them. It went so fast! My self doubt wanted me to say, "No, I can't do it", but in an attempt to get over that doubt I said yes.

The person who the cake was for was absolutely worth it. She is a wonderful member of our community who makes this city a great place to live. I started baking the cake yesterday morning and finished it this afternoon at 3ish. It was tiring making this cake and prepping for finals week in school, but I think I am going to make it. Here is the cake from start to finish, have a look...

Well first off I did not have a serving tray large enough to put this cake on so I had to go to Lowe's and have a piece of wood cut large enough to serve the cake on.


I then covered the piece of wood with foil...


I had to make 4 sheet cakes and piece them together. The flavor requested was marble cake with vanilla buttercream, as usual I turned to Martha Stewart, I used my favorite sheet cake recipe, but I took 1/3 of the final batter and mixed it with 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder which I mixed with about 1/4 of a cup of water.


I used a Vanilla Swiss Meringue buttercream recipe off of MS.com I had to double the recipe to cover the huge cake...

Here I am heating the egg whites and sugar...


After whipping the eggs until they are cooled you then mix in two pounds of butter, after that you have beautiful buttercream...


I spread buttercream over the middle of the cake...


The 3rd and 4th cake go on to create a large 2nd layer...


The entire cake was then spread with a layer of buttercream, it was after this that I realized that I did not have enough buttercream for a final coat and to decorate. I had to whip up a 2nd doubled recipe of buttercream..


Here is the finished cake, my sister Marcie said that "I've got my piping skills down." to get an idea of the size of this cake look at how small the bowl for my stand mixer looks next to it!


The cake makes my sink look small...




Well the cake was a hit! I must also say that it was delicious. I am going to do my internship next semester, and the main thing I want to gain from my internship is learning to write on cakes and have it be legible.

Total this cake had
52 eggs
7 lbs of butter
and 12 cups of sugar!!!!!

Opportunity at The Oakland Center for The Arts...

I was recently contacted by my friend/teacher/president of the board for The Oakland Center for the Arts, a local theatre. My friend Brooke asked if I would be interested in decorating their front window showcase for the holiday in preparation of one of the most anticipated events of the year How the Drag Queen Stole Christmas. Brooke said that she liked some of the decorating that she viewed on this blog and thought I would do a good job.

I was nervous about doing it because I have never done anything like this before. In an effort to get over my nerves and self-doubt I agreed. I started this morning off a little after 6AM cutting glitter snowflakes. I was not sure what I was going to do, but of course I knew glitter was a must.

Along with prepping for the window display I had to give two presentations in two of my classes today. On a break I sketched a concept for what I wanted the window to look like. Have a look at the process from concept to final product....

After cutting out the snowflakes they get a coat of beautiful blue tones of silver and blue (Martha Stewart glitter of course).


I am so pleased with how beautiful these turned out.



Here is the concept sketch that I came up with on a break today...


Here is an inside view of the window...


Here is a picture that I snapped on the first break that Brian and I took...


These large ornaments did not come gold. Brian had painted them gold for me because the store only had 1 gold one and other multicolored ones. I wanted gold so we had to make our own!


Here is an inside view, Brian and I had to make big bows and hang the ornaments and then use fishing line to hang the snowflakes. We also had to fluff up the garland and wire it with lights.


Here is the "snow'' covered floor with mini disco balls scattered about. the vase is a Martha Stewart Collection from Macys filled with Martha Stewart Everyday glittered ornaments from Kmart.


Here are some close up shots of the ornaments and our ribbon and my snowflakes.


Here is the final window with the poster for the event. It is exciting to see this picture next to my concept sketch. It was exciting to see the sketch come alive. I would not have been able to do this without the help of Brian.


What is in store for the rest of the week?
I am making:
A cake to serve 100 for Wednesday
A final Exam
A cake to serve 15-20 on Friday
and Another cake to serve 50 for Saturday.

AAARRRGG!!! STRESS!
