The Briar Patch

Mini Easter Basket

 

This little basket is so cute!  It was very easy to make.  So easy that this is one of the crafts my Girl Scouts are doing tomorrow night.  It can be filled with all sorts of little goodies.   To make it you will need a piece of designer series paper that measures 6 x 6.  You will then need to score 2" on each side.  Then you will cut in on 2 of the score lines on 2 of the sides.  The handles measure 1/2" x 7" and were secured with a brad.   So easy!  Make sure you stop by later this week for a recipe for HO-HO Cake....yup it tastes just like a HO-HO!!

Hungarian Goulash

I love to use my crock pot.   This is a recipe that I absolutely love and it's so easy to make.  I'll sometimes make this on the days that I have to work.  All I have to do when I get home is add the sour cream and cook the noodles.  Sometimes I'll even cook the noodles ahead of time...which is what I did today.  Now, when the kids get home tomorrow from school all I have to do is throw together a salad and warm up the noodles/goulash.
