Welcome to the weekly rotating Make it From Scratch Carnival! I’m pleased to host this week; it’s fun to be able to feature some non-food bloggers and see what others are making this week. Take a tour of some very talented, creative people:
Editor’s Pick:
I just love the basis of Hip Organic Mama, that once we have kids, life changes and certain things (like what we eat) become suddenly, incredibly important. Annie is a woman after my own heart, and her Vegetarian Bolognese & Kids ate it up! is a recipe she made up with food on hand in a pinch – I say you can’t get any more “from scratch” than that! Love it! Thanks for entering the carnival, Annie!
Do-it-Yourself Crafts:
Kimanh presents The Hippest Magnets in Town – How To posted at Oh!! I Like that!! A totally cute idea with incredible artwork and detailed presentation. I would never be able to make these so classy, but you must visit just to drool!
Jaralyn Salangsang presents Simple Cupcake Pedestal Tutorial posted at Creative Abubot. A fancy and well-photo-documented how-to for these extravagant decorations:
Yummy Meals:
Make it from Scratch presents Pretty, Simple, and Economical posted at Make It From Scratch. One of the most unique potluck dishes I’ve ever seen, here are instructions to stuff a garden variety daylily and put it on a plate. Beautiful, and, so I’m told, edible!
FishMama presents Life as Mom: Asian Chicken and Noodle Salad posted at Life as Mom. A super-healthy salad that could be right from a gourmet restaurant.
Scott @ ebabble presents Makin’ Bacon posted at Scott @ eBabble. Not something everyone can just do in their home, but if you want nitrite-free bacon, check out this post!
Caterina Christakos presents Fried Artichoke Recipe posted at Orlando Restaurant Reviews. I have a friend who always orders any dish with artichokes when she eats out. If you want to make one “in”, check this recipe out.
Joanna presents Baked Ziti posted at OneKrustyMama. A simple recipe to put on your family’s go-to list.
Sweet Treats:
Abi presents Cherry Coke Salad posted at Lighter Side. I’ve totally made something similar before, and it’s SO yummy and refreshing, perfect for a summer picnic or get-together.
Angie presents Secret Ingredient Cinnamon Bread posted at Many Little Blessings. Angie says: “My picky kids loved my “cinnamon bread,” and finally one day said, “What’s your secret ingredient, Mom?” I told them I really did have a secret ingredient — it was zucchini. They were definitely surprised that my “Cinnamon Bread” was actually zucchini bread.”
FishMama presents Good (& Cheap) Eats: Old-Fashioned Lemonade posted at Good (& Cheap) Eats. Very timely for summer cool-down fun!
My submission is a Walnut-Oat Pie Crust, a healthy (and tasty!) alternative to the trans-fat laden graham cracker crust.
Kate presents Our Red House: Raspberry and Chunky Chocolate Muffins posted at Our Red House. Raspberries and White Chocolate – this gal is really speaking my language!
Jenn presents Yummy! Brownies in Mini Loaf Pans posted at Beautiful Calling. What a cute way to serve a traditional, delicious dessert!
Make Your Kitchen Staples from Scratch:
Magpie presents Make Homemade Flour Tortillas posted at Smiling Country Ranch Life. Super photos and easy step-by-step directions, and such a frugal thing to make homemade!
Kelly the Kitchen Kop presents Homemade Mayonnaise Recipe That Tastes Great FINALLY! posted at Kelly the Kitchen Kop. Kelly says, ” I was on a quest to find a homemade mayo recipe that tasted as good as Helmanns (the only kind I liked!), but one that isn’t full of the junk Helmanns has in it. It took a while, but I finally did it!” I am definitely trying this one as soon as I have some leftover meat for sandwiches!
Laura Coppinger presents Making Homemade Vanilla Extract (aka?Why Laura Bought a Gallon of Vodka) posted at Heavenly Homemakers. I’m amazed that Laura made a whole gallon, but she used it for Christmas gifts (and she explains where to buy so many vanilla beans in bulk!).
Tips:
Alvina Lopez presents 100 Useful Tips, Tools, and Tutorials for Job-Seekers over 45 posted at Management Degree. One hundred is a LOT of tips, so if you fit the description, this is a helpful post with lots of links to resources.
Submit your blog article to the next edition of make it from scratch! using our carnival submission form. Past posts and future hosts can be found on our blog carnival index page. Next week’s carnival is hosted by Gotta Little Space.
