Egg McMuffin look a likes

In a fry pan put sausage, buttered English muffins, and then crack an egg into a canning ring.
Break the egg into a canning ring
Let the egg cook until it is set

Turn the egg and remove the ring

 Let the English muffin brown, cook egg and sausage thoroughly.  (Hint - If you are cooking raw sausage it will take a lot longer than the egg or browning the muffing so start it first and let it go a while before starting to cook egg or muffin.)    
To assemble, put egg on muffin, add sausage and cheese.  Wala!  Yum!




Decorated Brownies

For a Bridal Shower we had recently I wanted the brownies to be decorated with white chocolate chips and also to be able to be square and have each one look nice.  So we took a long piece of dental floss and marked even lines in the frosting of where we would cut.  Then we were able to put the chocolate chips onto each piece.  When it came time to cut we carefully cut on the lines.  I found it was squarer when I just used a small spatula and pressed down across each line instead of running a knife down the line.




World Cake
My daughter received a mission call and before opening it I made this world cake.  When people came to the call opening party we had them put a number on a little yellow flag and then on a separate paper write their number, name and guess where she was going.  The cake was covered with little yellow flags.  The winner of the closest guess received a bag of m&m's and my daughter got to eat the piece of cake where her LDS mission call was to.  It was a lot of fun.

Hint: To decorate the cake, I printed a simple outline of the world off Google maps and cut it out.  I laid it on the plain cake and put the blue frosting around it and even on top of the edges. Then I removed the paper and carefully put the brown in the middle to make land masses.  I had a separate printed map with detail for people to see where countries were.

Sectional Hot or cold pack

Have you ever used a rice bag? They are wonderful.  If you don't know, a rice bag is a bag of material filled with rice.  You can put it in the freezer to make a cold pack or in the microwave and warm it to make a hot pack.  My favorite place for a rice bag is around my neck.  The problem I have had is that the rice all falls to the ends of the bag so none of it stays right behind my neck but falls in front of my shoulders.  My son also gets a lot of neck pain and headaches from a whiplash injury, and wishes he could have heat or cold right where it hurts and have it stay there.  So I made some different varieties of rice bags to share with you.
