The recipes are posted in the 11-23 blog post. The team leaders have chosen their favorite recipes and I have the great honor and responsibility of selecting the best of the best. Truth to be told it was tough because they are all wonderful. This is the count down from 1st to 3rd place with a little extra information about recipes.<br />
<br />
Being one for family traditions I chose for the 1ST Place recipe the PLUM PUDDING pictured here. <br />

This reminded me of "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. It was submitted by Laurie Ann who is the owner of <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ArtfulBitsAndBytes" target="_blank">Artful Bits And Bytes</a>. The recipe originated in England with her mothers family and is served at Christmas. Different members of her family prepare it each year and the leftovers are shared as they last well in the freezer. Through the years some of the ingredients have changed such as a substitute for the suet. Laurie Ann tells a story of the year it fell "One year it fell while boiling (outside in the yard) but no matter, it was picked back up and finished its cooking, there was just lots of extra hard sauce poured over and a full crown instead of sprig of holly on top (to hide the cracks). Mostly, it is just full of warm memories. Christmas was the only holiday when the youngsters were allowed a bit of alcohol (with the rum sauce and the spiked eggnog) so as kids, we felt a little naughty and special."<br />
<br />
2nd place goes to the Mushroom Soup which was submitted by Osnat Ganor owner of <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/OdPaAm?" target="_blank">OdPaAm</a>. Osnat's family makes this soup during the season between autumn and winter. The family likes to pick the mushrooms themselves in the forest near their village of Eshtaol, Israel. The Eshtaol Forest is one of the largest in Israel and is a popular recreation area. So this not exactly a holiday recipe but a seasonal one. <br />
<br />

It is a cashew nut fudge. This was submitted by Alankar of <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/Spectrakraft?" target="_blank">SpectraKraft</a>. She has been making this sweet for about 4 years for her husband (and her own) sweet tooth, but it is a long time family favorite. The recipe posted is a standard most people can follow. She didn't use her mothers because as with many moms it is all a pinch of this and a bit of that a guestimate. She tells me that in India fall is festival time and the largest festival is Diwali, the festival of lights which celebrates the triumph of good over evil. During the festival they light oil lamps and make many deliciacies and Kaju Barfi was always one her mom made. Alankar said "I love that time of the year - because it's festive and everyone's in very high spirits. It's akin to Christmas. Everyone's happy, you are constantly eating good food, meeting relatives after eons". <br />

<br />
<strong>Ingredients</strong><br />
<ul>
<li>2 eggs</li>
<li>1 cup granulated sugar</li>
<li>3/4 cup butter, softened</li>
<li>1/2 cup milk</li>
<li>1 teaspoon vanilla</li>
<li>3 cups cooked mashed sweet potatoes (takes about 5 whole sweet potatoes to make 3 cups mashed, or use the canned pre-mashed stuff – fresh is better though, I think)</li>

<li>1/2 cup brown sugar</li>
<li>1/3 cup flour</li>
<li>2 tablespoons butter, softened</li>

<span style="font-size: small;">Would
you believe the recipe from 1860 is almost exactly the one done every Christmas
by my Grandfather. Including the beef suet, citron, and being boiled outside
tied in a cloth. Then carefully opening the huge (HUGE) ball of pudding praying
it wouldn't crack -but if it did, well nothing a bit of rum sauce wouldn't
cover. (Yes, rum instead of wine or brandy) Sometimes served flambé always
displayed with a touch of holly on top. I am looking for my copy of the actual
recipe and a photo with the plum pudding and my grandfather. Such precious
memories!</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0.7em; margin-top: 0.7em;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Rich
Plum Pudding Recipe,</strong><em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Lady
Godey’s Book</em>, December 1860</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent;">
Stone
carefully one pound of the best raisins, wash and pick one pound of currants,
chop very small one pound of fresh beef suet, blanch and chop small or pound two
ounces of sweet almonds and one ounce of bitter ones; mix the whole well
together, with one pound of sifted flour, and the same weight of crumb of bread
soaked in milk, then squeezed dry and stirred with a spoon until reduced to a
mash, before it is mixed with the flour.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent;">
Cut in
small pieces two ounces each of preserved citron, orange, and lemon-peel, and
add a quarter of an ounce of mixed spice; quarter of a pound of moist sugar
should be put into a basin, with eight eggs, and well beaten together with a
three-pronged fork; stir this with the pudding, and make it of a proper
consistence with milk. Remember that it must not be made too thin, or the fruit
will sink to the bottom, but be made to the consistence of good thick
batter.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent;">
<span style="line-height: 19px;">Two wineglassfuls of brandy should be poured over the
fruit and spice, mixed together in a basin, and allowed to stand three or four
hours before the pudding is made, stirring them occasionally. It must be tied in
a cloth, and will take five hours of constant boiling.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent;">
<span style="line-height: 19px;"></span> </div>
<div style="background-color: transparent;">
<span style="line-height: 19px;"></span><span style="line-height: 19px;">When done, turn it out on a dish, sift loaf-sugar over
the top, and serve it with wine-sauce in a boat, and some poured round the
pudding. The pudding will be of considerable size, but half the quantity of
materials, used in the same proportion, will be equally good.</span></div>

This recipe has very simple
ingredients, but it does take some time. I think the result is worth it because
this pie has so much flavor. It's scrumptious. </div>

Dark Cherry Pie Filling</div>

<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1416228417982_29856">
You will also need 2 pie
crusts.</div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1416228417982_29856">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1416228417982_29856">
1. Put the juice in a sauce pan
and cook on medium to low heat until it reduces to a thick, creamy texture,
which will take a few hours. Return to the kitchen frequently to stir.</div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1416228417982_29856">
2. Taste the mixture to make
sure it's to your liking. If it's too sweet, add a little lemon juice for
additional tartness. If you don't find it sweet enough, add a little
sugar.</div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1416228417982_29856">
3. Place the thickened juice in
the refrigerator to cool. </div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1416228417982_29856">
4. Begin pre-heating oven to
350 degrees.</div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1416228417982_29856">
5. Prepare pie crust. You can
use pre-made crust if you like. I usually make my own. What I like about mine is
that I use salted butter, and this gives the crust a slightly savory taste,
which contrasts really nicely with the rich, tart flavor of the filling. Below
is my crust recipe.</div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1416228417982_29856">
6. Put the frozen cherries into
the lower crust and spread the chilled filling on top. </div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1416228417982_29856">
7. Put the top crust on the pie
and brush the top with milk or a mixture of milk and egg whites to give it a
nice color when it bakes. </div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1416228417982_29856">
8. Put tinfoil loosely over the
pie and insert into the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes at 350, then remove
the foil and turn the oven up to 400 degrees for another 30 minutes with the top
off. Check the pie occasionally in the last 15 minutes to make sure it's not
browning too much. All ovens vary, but this works well on mine.</div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1416228417982_29856">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1416228417982_29856">
Salty pie crust</div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1416228417982_29856">
2 sticks salted butter</div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1416228417982_29856">
1 heaping cup of flower</div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1416228417982_29856">
cool water (variable but about
8 TBS)</div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1416228417982_29856">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1416228417982_29856">
1. Place the butter in a large
ceramic bowl and dump the flour on top. </div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1416228417982_29856">
2. Using a pastry cutter, cut
the butter into the flour until it is well-mixed. The key here is not to
over-cut. Leaving large (up to chick-pea sized) pieces of butter in the mix will
yield a layered, flaky crust.</div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1416228417982_29856">
3. Once the butter is mixed
into flour, begin adding cool water 1 TBS at a time until you get all the flour
to become sticky and create a large ball in the bowl.</div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1416228417982_29856">
4. Create two chunks with the
dough. I like to make one ball slightly larger so that my bottom crust hangs
over the edge, while the top crust is smaller and doesn't have to be trimmed as
much.</div>

<li>Total time<span title="PT6H"></span>6 hours
<li>Portion size16 to 18 servings
<h2>
Ingredients</h2>
<ul>
<li>100 g good-quality white
chocolate, finely chopped
<li>3 pkg (each 250 g) cream
cheese, softened
<li>1/3 cup (75 mL)
sour cream
<li>2/3 cup (150 mL)
granulated sugar
<li>5 tsp
cornstarch
<li>2 eggs
<li>1 tsp (5 mL)
vanilla</li>
</li>
</li>
</li>
</li>
</li>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>
Ginger Crust:</h3>
<ul>
<li>1-1/2 cups (375 mL)
gingersnap cookie crumbs
<li>1/3 cup (75 mL)
butter, melted
<li>2 tbsp. (30 mL)
packed brown sugar</li>
</li>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>
Cranberry Topping:</h3>
<ul>
<li>3 cups (750 mL)
fresh or frozen cranberries
<li>2/3 cup (150 mL)
granulated sugar
<li>1/4 cup (60 mL)
cranberry juice
<li>1 tsp (5 mL)
orange zest</li>
</li>
</li>
</li>
</ul>
<div>
Crust: Set racks in the lower third and middle of the oven; preheat to 350
degrees F. Mix the crumbs, sugar, nutmeg and salt in a bowl. Add the melted
butter and mix with your hands until combined. Press into the bottom and 1 inch
up the side of a 9-inch springform pan . Freeze until ready to fill.</div>
<br />
<div>
Make the filling: Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a small pot; remove from
the heat. Put the white chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl and set over the
pot (do not let the bowl touch the water); stir until melted, about 4 minutes.
Remove the bowl from the pot and set aside.<br />
Beat the <span style="color: #0066cc;"> </span>cream cheese, sour cream and sugar in a
large bowl on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 7 minutes. Beat in
the eggs, one at a time, then add the cornstarch and beat 2 minutes. Beat in the
melted white chocolate, vanilla and salt until combined.<br />
Fill a roasting pan halfway with water and set on the lower oven rack. Pour
the filling into the prepared crust and set on the middle oven rack. Bake until
the edge is set but the center still jiggles slightly, 1 hour, 10 minutes. Turn
off the oven and let the cheesecake sit in the oven, 30 minutes. Transfer to a
rack to cool completely. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.<br />
Make the compote: Combine the remaining 2/3 cup sugar, the orange zest and
juice, and 3/4 cup water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil with the
cranberries, stirring, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until
thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. Refrigerate until
completely cool.<br />
Before serving, run a hot knife around the edge of the cheesecake, then
remove the springform ring. Top with the cranberry compote and shaved white
chocolate</div>

This was my mom's recipe and has been my "go to" recipe when it comes to
roasting a big bird for the holiday meal.</div>
<br />
Mom's Moist Turkey
Recipe<br />
<br />
Wash the turkey well using cool water. Salt the inside cavity and
the outer skin. <br />
Stuff the inner cavity with:<br />
one (1) apple (quartered)
one (1) large onion (quartered) two (2) stalks of celery (cut in 2 inch
lengths)<br />
and six (6) individual tablespoons of butter or margarine<br />
<br />
Tie
the legs together securely using twine and place in a large roasting pan breast
side up. <br />
<br />
Note: Enamel roasting pans work the best but any type of pan
can be used just make sure it can be covered during the majority of the cooking
process.<br />
<br />
Sprinkle the outside of the turkey lightly with sugar and dot
with four (4) tablespoon of butter or margarine<br />
Add enough water, or broth to
make 1/4 inch deep in the bottom of the pan.<br />
<br />
Cover and bake at 350
degrees for the recommended by the weight of the turkey <br />
Remove cover during
the last 1/2 hour of baking time to obtain a crispier brown outer crust.
<br />
<br />
The drippings from the fruity veggie inner stuffing make for an
excellent gravy base!<br />
Note: This recipe is for those who prefer to make bread
stuffing separately from the bird. <br />

<br />
Ingredients: <br />3 1/2 cups flour<br />2 tsp baking soda<br />1 tsp nutmeg<br />1 1/2
tsp salt<br />2 TBSP cinnamon<br />3 cups sugar<br />1 cup salad oil<br />4 eggs<br />1
can pumpkin<br />1 cup nuts (walnuts or pecans are best, I substitute sunflower
seeds because my daughter has nut allergies)<br /><br />Directions:<br />Preheat oven
to 350 degrees F. Sift dry ingredients into large bown. Mak ea well and add
all remaining ingredients. Mix well. Pour into 2 well greased bread pans.
Bake for 1 hour. Cool slightly in pans. You can eat the bread immediately, but
the flavors develop over time and its even better a day after baking! :)

Preparation Instructions</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Melt the chocolate or white (or both) almond bark in a double boiler.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
One by one, dip the very tip of the lollipop stick into the melted
chocolate, then stick that end of the stick into the marshmallow until it's not
quite all the way through. Repeat with the rest of the marshmallows, standing
them up as you go.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Next, roll the marshmallow in the chocolate to coat it, then tap the stick
gently on the side of the double boiler to get rid of the excess. Using your
fingers, sprinkle the topping of your choice all over the chocolate. Set them
stick side up on a piece of waxed paper OR stick them into that crazy florist
stuff that makes flowers stand up.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Have fun with the toppings and make no two marshmallow pops the same!</div>

<div>
225 g (8 oz) yellow split peas</div>

<div>
75 g (2¾ oz) onions, chopped</div>

<div>
1 small clove garlic, crushed</div>

<div>
Pick over and rinse the split peas, then place them in a large saucepan
with the onions and enough water to cover. Bring to the boil, then reduce the
heat and simmer for 30-45 minutes until the split peas are thick and mushy (the
exact time will depend on the age of the peas). If there is still some water
remaining, drain it off before transferring the peas to a bowl.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
Beat in the garlic, lemon juice and oil until thick and well blended. Leave
to cool, then add salt and pepper to taste and garnish with paprika.<br />

When selling on ETSY it is the first point of contact with a potential buyer and it must create an INTEREST in seconds. We have all heard, you never get a second chance to make a First Impression – it holds true when you are selling online. You have to GRAB them and take them to your SHOP!<br />
<br />
“How do I get good photos?” “ I am not good at picture taking.” “ It takes too much work.” We have heard it all when it comes to taking photos for your Etsy Listings. Let’s go over these questions and concerns and hopefully help you create beautiful and appealing photos of your listings. You want SALES and being featured in treasuries is one of the KEYS to your SUCCESS.<br />
<br />
Do your Research! What research? Go to Etsy and look through the treasuries that are on the front page and treasuries on pages 1- 3. Open one up so you can see all 16 listings. Which listing are your eyes drawn to as soon as you open the treasury? Now consider why you were drawn to that photo? Is it the composition, is it the color(s), is it something you have been looking for? What drew you to that listing? Now you have an understanding of how impactful these photos are in getting the buyer’s attention. Try this several times so you can really get a good feel for what you need to do with your listings.<br />
<br />
For example, I am looking for some new blue shoes. <br />
<br />
I find this listing much more interesting<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd2dVtoGaQXmGKlmDdX5OF5W67omTxqJ5GsLS5HR-o-JOxn2ZCNAloLCbvQNmdGUNXVARlzff9gep82XRtrhQsvIaqlY19fwubcSCs5LGimkCkS4_BNZlkkCSKfEsuJp09abGUsRfBhg/s1600/blue+shoes.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd2dVtoGaQXmGKlmDdX5OF5W67omTxqJ5GsLS5HR-o-JOxn2ZCNAloLCbvQNmdGUNXVARlzff9gep82XRtrhQsvIaqlY19fwubcSCs5LGimkCkS4_BNZlkkCSKfEsuJp09abGUsRfBhg/s320/blue+shoes.jpg" height="212" width="320" /></a>than this listing<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyFIVhSkGc1J-30dM7gHOTE99UOfQpnsBz_jGLsnRh0bma2yY0oUhJCYEYlUYKTy-ODv4n3KpcX8uq8Vq0G3_-UuUCPgLtpVIE_F0e_m_S5CKHaBztkBX9AUKKUJYevxYtVhPaXaGoEw/s1600/blue+shoes+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyFIVhSkGc1J-30dM7gHOTE99UOfQpnsBz_jGLsnRh0bma2yY0oUhJCYEYlUYKTy-ODv4n3KpcX8uq8Vq0G3_-UuUCPgLtpVIE_F0e_m_S5CKHaBztkBX9AUKKUJYevxYtVhPaXaGoEw/s320/blue+shoes+2.jpg" height="200" width="150" /></a><br />
<br />
The first listing has a great composition; the overall quality of the photo is much cleaner and draws me in. The second photo is ok, but rather boring and the pale blue hue around the shoes does not set them off or cause me to want to look at them.<br />
<br />
How do I get good photos: You can use either your camera phone or a digital camera. For the best photos a tripod is very helpful because you do not have to worry about movement as you take the photo. Use a high resolution so they are crisp and clean photos. Have an area that you can set up as a mini-photo booth. Large dining table, large desk. Somewhere you have room to set up your display. Items you will need: Light Box (easy to make), at least 2 lamps for lighting, white tissue paper, exacto knife, tape, camera, tri-pod, and your listing item,<br />
<br />
Building a light Box is easy using a cardboard box. Here is a link on how to build a <a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Create-an-Inexpensive-Photography-Lightbox">LIGHTBOX</a> at a cost of under $3.00. The lights can be purchased in the automotive department of Walmart for a few dollars. Make sure they are the clip on mechanic lights so you can place them exactly where you want them. If you have larger items that will not it in your light box you can set up a photo area using a white sheet or white foam core boards as your background and foreground. Use your lights on the item to help it show up well.<br />
<br />
Take several photos of each listing. Perhaps changing the composition a bit, add a few props, take the front, back, side of each item. Now you have the photos transfer them to your computer and let’s have some fun editing them. Two sites that are great to use (and free) are <a href="http://www.picmonkey.com/editor?gclid=CjwKEAjwtIShBRD08fKD1OWSik4SJAAuKLovQ9y5UrO8MGDgsfA_tEDdnDGQiVz6GRq7yA0T7MIuNRoCai3w_wcB">picmonkey </a>and <a href="http://fotofuze.com/">fotofuze</a>.<br />
<br />
You can edit your photos in <a href="http://www.picmonkey.com/editor?gclid=CjwKEAjwtIShBRD08fKD1OWSik4SJAAuKLovQ9y5UrO8MGDgsfA_tEDdnDGQiVz6GRq7yA0T7MIuNRoCai3w_wcB">picmonkey</a> such as cropping, exposure, clarity, etc. If you have not used <a href="http://fotofuze.com/">fotofuze</a> you are in for a treat. This website interfaces with Etsy and when you sign in using your Etsy shop all of your current listings will pop up. It eliminates all the background “clutter” and leaves a clean white back ground. Fotofuze is wonderful because you can change many details of the photo.<br />
<br />
BEFORE fotofuze<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg094U-D6hbRwPNxlfW3U08imPmc3HodiT0WtcjpiRJpz2qmyXdSF1Foz6xcavgi2xeOnaQF3OMtn3oUnfHn44_0Z6rPPFM2HRMRA-YhULRjl0bT3nGkZY3CYeDatQhhKYRRN9mJAZP6w/s1600/blue+flower.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg094U-D6hbRwPNxlfW3U08imPmc3HodiT0WtcjpiRJpz2qmyXdSF1Foz6xcavgi2xeOnaQF3OMtn3oUnfHn44_0Z6rPPFM2HRMRA-YhULRjl0bT3nGkZY3CYeDatQhhKYRRN9mJAZP6w/s320/blue+flower.jpg" height="150" width="200" /></a> AFTER fotofuze <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfwwXDG4k0UmacmEOABH3JIlPW_GX6s_4yuEO4MlGfLdkS6NzP-RwH5Yuzdx8DLWxHddl1KXedPVWrsHYByf18Avl4xfrzEHkc6_JaCU0o3NoW-pEN4933LUyzt-0KgKrSbKJZllxZLA/s1600/blue+flower2.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfwwXDG4k0UmacmEOABH3JIlPW_GX6s_4yuEO4MlGfLdkS6NzP-RwH5Yuzdx8DLWxHddl1KXedPVWrsHYByf18Avl4xfrzEHkc6_JaCU0o3NoW-pEN4933LUyzt-0KgKrSbKJZllxZLA/s320/blue+flower2.jpg" height="150" width="200" /></a> <br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">It does take time to create beautiful photos that will attract a buyer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But isn’t it worth the time to sell and item?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It makes no sense to have something beautiful sitting on a shelf in your studio, but no one can appreciate it because your photos do not have that emotional grab to get the buyers attention.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Etsy has long said that clean lines with a focus on the item is what gets the attention.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes adding just the smallest of props can also enhance the photo. </span><br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAp2ysL7Hby8h8YDj8jQ0YawvGA-ErgVVfqRxNPuMq2J4B7YXThqfB_7r_ivGls9ZHFiANDGjNBOTIt547_62VBbkaWXOC7LN9e7pBOxAjZbHII9ewS5Rv_jxkgIVYgH2H2qRWJynUTA/s1600/lt+blue+flower.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAp2ysL7Hby8h8YDj8jQ0YawvGA-ErgVVfqRxNPuMq2J4B7YXThqfB_7r_ivGls9ZHFiANDGjNBOTIt547_62VBbkaWXOC7LN9e7pBOxAjZbHII9ewS5Rv_jxkgIVYgH2H2qRWJynUTA/s320/lt+blue+flower.jpg" height="200" width="190" /></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Below is a screen shot of the fotofuze when you highlight the item and eliminate the background.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I suggest using the 2<sup>nd</sup> Highlighter as you have full control over it with your mouse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first Highlighter is an Auto-fill marker.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The item is in YELLOW and if you look to the right of the larger photo you will see a Preview window showing you what the photo will look like when you are done.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can Erase any errors and the Black and Red window shows you what you “may” want to also highlight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once you are done you click on Finish and it will take you back to your Etsy listing on fotofuze.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once it is uploaded, you can then upload it to your Etsy listing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can also create new listings on fotofuze without going to Etsy first.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Be
sure to use all the photo spaces in your listings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The more photos the higher you will rank in a
search.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Give the buyer as much of the
item as you can.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I only recommend using
Fotofuze on the main photo (no. 1) as this process can be time consuming and
your first photo should be your best one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Think
about who will use the product and what would make them buy that item.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Emotions play a huge part in what the
potential buyer buys. They cannot feel the item, so use your photo to make a
“feeling” of the product.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Give them your item as the only choice
because they cannot resist your photo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Keep
that in mind when you create your beautiful photos. Let the photo show the quality
and beauty of the item.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Two
additional thoughts:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you have a piece

Mind you, we've been trying to make it happen for a couple of years! Well, it finally happened on the weekend of September 12th, 13th and 14th. <br />

We met at Gail's home on the outskirts of Ellensburg, WA, on a beautiful Friday morning. Gail's property is situated a ways from the main road. There is a fabulous natural spring that feeds a beautiful pond in Gail's backyard.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCH7jPD2rBSmVnDqbM6jHvKg2dVIhENRB2b_nikhLrl_Co2CzHi5TDUbf_slcumV-jmPmQgLz60zapvNbOL3NXjTrf-_o2dqqus9MxOHBvPC-30RgmCNAE5hieevgogggFDzQ6JRl75Q/s1600/Gail's%2Bhouse.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCH7jPD2rBSmVnDqbM6jHvKg2dVIhENRB2b_nikhLrl_Co2CzHi5TDUbf_slcumV-jmPmQgLz60zapvNbOL3NXjTrf-_o2dqqus9MxOHBvPC-30RgmCNAE5hieevgogggFDzQ6JRl75Q/s320/Gail's%2Bhouse.JPG" /></a></div>She told us stories of otters that come in the winter and fish through the ice that doesn't quite harden off at one end of the pond. They also have Heron that come to fish. What a delight it is for them to have such an array of wildlife in their own backyard. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6d7owmCYlpLCFoXkzZuQtaIyXCXW-_hCxOrZVoIqQR6tghwu0NXPp0YIxq5jRUrupK5MR8dasFpsD9kwvedv30wKA8oPFpHbMoaPQZkZCi5Ft0Cv7V7HXWdpKEdxe2raj7XzEo0NdEQ/s1600/John's%2Bsticks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6d7owmCYlpLCFoXkzZuQtaIyXCXW-_hCxOrZVoIqQR6tghwu0NXPp0YIxq5jRUrupK5MR8dasFpsD9kwvedv30wKA8oPFpHbMoaPQZkZCi5Ft0Cv7V7HXWdpKEdxe2raj7XzEo0NdEQ/s400/John's%2Bsticks.jpg" /></a></div>Gail's husband, John is a native of Great Britain. We were treated to his delightful humor, as well as his accent! <br />
<br />
Come to find out that Gail is not the only creative one in her household. John is also the craftsman of amazing walking sticks. He gathers different species of wood and antlers from the nearby hills, and creates sticks such as these. <br />
<br />
They come in a wide variety of sizes and styles. Some even include carvings done in the antlers, which are used to create the handles. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjORFDbLtegxPLGH7cGepj8XsB7AEry5j-R1EcTf229C65HVhkoG616qM_XNvea0gXeL9IRie6nuqTl4n9DsyMVBdZicZZRC4S5HK7fYa4eRUJcHhwaP9ea1KmVcMU-PXMu4p8zF2d29Q/s1600/John's%2Bwalking%2Bsticks.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjORFDbLtegxPLGH7cGepj8XsB7AEry5j-R1EcTf229C65HVhkoG616qM_XNvea0gXeL9IRie6nuqTl4n9DsyMVBdZicZZRC4S5HK7fYa4eRUJcHhwaP9ea1KmVcMU-PXMu4p8zF2d29Q/s320/John's%2Bwalking%2Bsticks.JPG" /></a></div>The detail is meticulous. It is clearly obvious that John's dedication to his craft runs deep. The areas that join wood to antler appear to be seamless, and the final finish is buttery soft and smooth. They are indeed works of art. I hope we will see some of these in Gail's shop in the near future!<br />
<br />
One of the goals we had for this meeting, was to learn nuno felting, or wet felting as some call it.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ3qSZy8cZCI_iOPOpBLX0ndJneSjxBKKEV0pZgeLinVwXvI4IgqvWYtJhU8kzEQDHfd8gbNCCB78V2u21QTwGzcuA3E4UXubrWxq1evQQeml39kfoBhe8qdPaGkngO8Dz3xqt_BX2GA/s1600/Felted+flowers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ3qSZy8cZCI_iOPOpBLX0ndJneSjxBKKEV0pZgeLinVwXvI4IgqvWYtJhU8kzEQDHfd8gbNCCB78V2u21QTwGzcuA3E4UXubrWxq1evQQeml39kfoBhe8qdPaGkngO8Dz3xqt_BX2GA/s400/Felted+flowers.jpg" /></a></div>We spread our supplies over the island in the kitchen and began crafting flowers. It's magical to watch layers of wool roving, silk hankies, silk fibers and other bits of sparkle and shine, bind themselves together to form fabric. Take a look at what we created! Be forewarned, once you get a taste of nuno felting, there's a chance you'll be hooked! Some of us spent some time ordering supplies for future felting fun! <br />
<br />
We also learned the basics of some wire wrapping techniques, needle felted some colorful acorns and finished our crafting with Kathy teaching us how to make spirit dolls to commemorate our meeting. We walked around Gail's property, gathering weeds, twigs, rocks or other interesting bits of nature, then assembled our items into these delightful dolls.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNVs3Ml3E0THgQkqqEtXnYo4L-fxsrx2s3wXEEdv45brWZKqOirNtbXaE7ywWuxVn_0BXY87i90j-W4WzuiG-k18FdMtV-_Spl1lATMKXE6IDV84xUI-C7GeDbyTo4iV0VLF4Jub_nfA/s1600/spirit+dolls.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNVs3Ml3E0THgQkqqEtXnYo4L-fxsrx2s3wXEEdv45brWZKqOirNtbXaE7ywWuxVn_0BXY87i90j-W4WzuiG-k18FdMtV-_Spl1lATMKXE6IDV84xUI-C7GeDbyTo4iV0VLF4Jub_nfA/s400/spirit+dolls.jpg" /></a></div>The experience was so much fun! We were treated to great food, wonderful conversation and we learned new things. What could be better than that? Gail and John were wonderful hosts and if you are ever passing through Ellensburg, WA, you will want to stop by and meet them. This was our first meeting, but I doubt it will be our last! <br />

Directions</h2>
<div>
1. For fall leaves on top of pie: Cut out 18 leaves, rerolling scraps if
needed, using 3 1/2-inch leaf-shaped cookie cutters . Transfer leaves to another
piece of parchment; chill if needed. Gently press the dull edge of a paring
knife into leaves to create veins. Freeze until firm, about 30
minutes.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal;">
2.

Add apples and blackberries, and toss to coat. Pour filling into prepared
piecrust, and dot with butter.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal;">
3.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees with rack in lowest position. Meanwhile, brush rim
of piecrust with egg wash. Arrange dough leaves over filling, creating a spiral
from the edge into the center, overlapping leaves slightly to cover pie but
leaving some openings. Lightly brush tops of leaves with egg wash as you work,
to help them adhere. Once filling is covered with leaves, lightly brush top of
entire pie with egg wash. Sprinkle with sanding sugar. Freeze for 30
minutes.</div>

Place pie on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake until crust is golden,
about 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees. Bake pie, rotating sheet halfway
through, until juices are bubbling in the center and crust is golden brown, 1
hour and 45 minutes to 1 hour and 55 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack, and
let cool completely. (Pie can be stored at room temperature for up to 1 day.) </div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">This recipe originated from a quaint little cafe that was once located on the upper floor </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">our local department store. They would thickly slice this slightly sweet bread to create </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">their yummy sandwiches...chicken salad being their most popular. It was a delicious </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">combination! People would drive many miles just to purchase the loaves. My mother </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">and I would eat there often. I loved browsing the fancy kitchen shop while waiting for our </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">table....and then again afterwards. It was an all around delightful experience. Not only </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">did they have a wonderful kitchen shop, poppy seed bread and chicken salad, but they </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">also made the BEST bread pudding I have ever tasted! I frequently use this poppy seed bread recipe to make several mini loaves to give to family and friends. It is so easy to make and pretty much fail proof. You will need to reduce the baking time for the mini loaves, of course. Enjoy!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">FYI: The above recipe has been modified somewhat. They actually call for a full cup of poppy seeds which I find crazy so I already cut that in half. I also like the bread to be quite moist so I will take it out sooner than the required time. But for sandwiches, I would cook until the toothpick comes out clean. I will add that I sometimes add lemon zest and/or a glazed topping. Depends what you are using it for. But the bread will create it<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">ʼ</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">s own sweet crust and nothing more is actually necessary. Yum-yum!</span></span></div>

<div>
</div>
<div>
- 250 grams all purpose flour</div>
<div>
- 140 grams butter</div>
<div>
- 1 egg ( use only yellow part for pie crust. we will use the white part
for filling so don't throw)</div>
<div>
- 1 teaspoon baking powder</div>
<div>
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Directions for Pie Crust</div>
<div>
Mix together ingredients for pie base. It will becaome a dough. Place the
dough on a lightly floured surface.</div>
<div>
Roll the pastry into a 12 inch (30 cm) circle. Fold the dough in half and
transfer to a 9 inch (23 cm) pie pan.</div>
<div>

Directions for Filling</div>
<div>
Separate egg the whites from the yolks. Whip the 5 egg whites ( 1 egg white
remain from the pie crust) firm till become like a fluffy snow. </div>
<div>
Crumble walnuts ( I use rondo for this, because I want walnut become very
thin granule).</div>
<div>
Then pour all eggs yolks, walnut granule, powder sugar, cinnamon and baking
powder with fluffy snow very gentle. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Pour all filling onto the pie crust. Bake for 45 minutes in a pre-heated oven, at 395°F (200°C) Eat warm or cold.</div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">16 Tbs. unsalted butter
(2 sticks or 250 g)<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">6 oz. (185 g) cream
cheese<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">2 ½ cups (625g)
granulated sugar<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">5
eggs<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">1 tsp. vanilla
extract<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">2 Tbs. fresh lime
juice<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">2 tsp. finely grated
lime zest<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">For the Lime
Glaze:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">5 Tbs. (35g)
confectioners’ sugar, plus more as needed<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">1 Tbs. plus 1 tsp. fresh
lime juice, plus more as needed.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Have all the ingredients
at room temperature. Position a rack in the lower third of an oven and preheat
to 325 degrees F, (165C). Thoroughly grease and flour an angel food or Bundt
styled cake pan. This cake was originally to be made in a Rose shaped cake pan,
available at kitchen shops during the holidays. This was the enclosed recipe.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">To make the cake: over a
sheet of wax paper, sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and cream cheese on medium
speed until creamy and smooth, 30 to 40 seconds. Gradually add the granulated
sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes, occasionally scraping
down the sides of the bowl. Increase the speed to medium-high and add the eggs
one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of
the bowl. Then beat in the vanilla and the lime juice. Reduce the speed to low
and add the flour mixture in three additions, beating each addition until just
incorporated; stop the mixer occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Using a rubber spatula, stir in the lime zest. Spoon the batter into the
prepared pan, making the sides about 1 inch higher than the center. Bake until
the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center, comes out clean, 65
to 70 minutes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Transfer the pan to a
wire rack and let the cake cool upright in the pan, for 15 minutes. Set the
rack over a sheet of waxed paper, invert the pan onto the rack and lift off the
pan. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">To make the lime glaze,
in a small bowl, stir together the confectioners’ sugar and lime juice until
smooth. Using a pastry brush, gently brush a thin coating of glaze over the
warm cake. The glaze should be thin enough so that a transparent film covers
the cake. If it is too thick, add more lime juice 1 tsp. at a time; if it is
too thin, add more confectioners’ sugar. Let the cake cool completely before
serving. Serves 16. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Bake cake
in 9" x 13" pan as directed on recipe. Allow cake to cool and place on serving
tray. Tint approximately 3 cups of icing dark blue by using a combination of
royal blue and navy. Ice entire cake in blue. Reserve extra icing and place in
piping bag fitted with #16 to pipe border after cake is decorated. Color small
amount of icing black and green. Fill a pastry bag with black icing and start by
using a #8 to pipe the trunk of the base. Switch to using a #4 and then a #2 as
you need to make smaller branches. Fill a pastry bag fitted with #233 with green
icing. Start at the bottom edge of the cake and pull toward the top of the cake
to create grass across the bottom of the cake. Use your reserved blue icing to
pipe a shell border on bottom edge and reverse shell border on top edge.
Decorate with plastic picks.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
1. Prepare the shells. </div>
<strong>Eggplants</strong>: There are two ways to prepare the eggplant shells. Choose one you like better.<br />
<strong>Method 1: </strong>This is the easier method and takes less time than the second. Cut off the stalk end of the eggplants. Make a lengthways slit in each taking care not to cut right through. Fill a pan with water and bring to a boil. Gently drop the eggplants into the boiling water, and simmer for about 2 minutes, using a slotted spoon to keep them submerged. Remove and set aside. When cool enough to handle, remove the seeds from the eggplants with a spoon or by rubbing the eggplants gently between the palms of your hands to let the seeds fall out. Set aside.<br />
<strong>Method 2:</strong> My favorite method, although requires more time and effort to prepare. Here instead of blanching the eggplants fry them before stuffing. Using a vegetable peeler or knife, remove about 3-4 lengthwise strips of skin from the eggplant to create a striped effect. Make a lengthways slit in each eggplant taking care not to cut too deep through. Soak the eggplants in a large bowl full of cold water with 2 tablespoons salt for 20 minutes to remove any bitterness. Drain, and gently pat dry. Fry the eggplants in 4 tablespoons oil or butter (add more if necessary) on all sides for about 10 minutes, or until evenly brown. Remove, drain on a paper-towel lined plate.<br />
<br />
<strong>Peppers: </strong>Start cutting tops off the green peppers about 1/2 inches (4 cm) from the stems and stop when you obtain lids attached to the peppers. Remove the seeds and ribs and set aside.<br />
<br />
<strong>Tomatoes: </strong>Remove the stems. Start cutting tops off the tomatoes about 1/2 inches (4 cm) from the stems and stop when you obtain lids attached to the tomatoes. Scoop out the pulp, finely chop it and reserve for the stuffing*.<br />
<br />
2. Make the stuffing. In a frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the ground meat and cook until the released liquid has evaporated and the meat has nicely browned. Add the onions and cook for 5-10 more minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the chopped pepper and tomato pulp and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove the pan from heat. Add the fresh herbs, and if using, cooked and split chickpeas. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and mix well.<br />
<br />
3. Sprinkle inside of the shells with some salt and black pepper and fill them with the stuffing. Cover the top of the peppers and tomatoes with their lids. Place the vegetables side by site in a deep frying pan. Pour 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or clarified over the top. Cover and simmer over low to medium heat for about 40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender (but not mushy!) and the liquid has reduced to the syrupy consistency.</div>

Directions<br />
In
a large mixing bowl combine ground beef, ground pork, Parmesan, eggs, salt,
pepper, garlic, basil, parsley and dried oregano. Add bread crumbs 1/2 cup at a
time until mixture is not too wet and can be formed into balls easily. Form
mixture into 12 balls using your thumb to press a hole in the center. Insert a
piece of the fresh mozzarella into the hole and close the hole by pushing the
meatball mixture around it to secure the mozzarella inside each ball.</div>

Heat
a large sauté pan over medium heat and drizzle olive oil into it. Add meatballs
and cook until just browned. Using a slotted spoon, transfer meatballs into a
slow cooker. Pour red sauce over the meatballs and cook on LOW for approximately
5 hours. Serve the stuffed meatballs and sauce over spaghetti.<br />

Step
2: Meanwhile, insert a wooden stick into the top of each apple, pushing about
halfway through; set aside. When mixture reaches temperature, immediately remove
from heat. Working quickly, dip apples in sugar mixture until completely coated.

Ingredients:</h3>
<div class="ingredient" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; font-style: normal; text-align: left;">
<strong>CINNAMON FILLING:</strong><br />
1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted<br />
3/4 cup brown sugar<br />
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon</div>
<div class="ingredient" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; font-style: normal; text-align: left;">
<strong>CREAM CHEESE ICING:</strong><br />
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) salted butter<br />
2 ounces cream cheese<br />
3/4 cup powdered sugar, sifted<br />
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract</div>
<div class="ingredient" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; font-style: normal; text-align: left;">
<strong>PANCAKES:</strong><br />
1 1/2 cups whole milk<br />
1 cup pure unsweetened pumpkin puree<br />
2 large eggs<br />
2 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil<br />
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar<br />
2 cups all-purpose flour<br />
1 tablespoon baking powder<br />
1/2 teaspoon baking soda<br />
2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice (see Tips below)<br />
1/2/ teaspoon salt<br />
1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar</div>
<h3 style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; font-style: normal; text-align: left;">
Directions:</h3>
<div class="instructions" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; font-style: normal; text-align: left;">
1. <strong>Prepare the cinnamon filling:</strong> In a small bowl- mix butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Whisk the filling ingredients together and then pour it into a sandwich-sized zip baggie. Zip up the baggie and lay it on the counter while you prepare the pancake batter.</div>
<div class="instructions" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; font-style: normal; text-align: left;">
2. <strong>Prepare the Icing:</strong> In a medium microwave-safe bowl, heat butter and cream cheese 30 to 60 seconds, just until butter has melted and cream cheese has softened. Whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla and combine until smooth. Set the icing aside.</div>
<div class="instructions" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; font-style: normal; text-align: left;">
3. <strong>Prepare the pancake batter:</strong> In a large bowl, whisk together milk, pumpkin, eggs, oil, and vinegar. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, salt and brown sugar. Add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture and stir just until all is moistened.</div>
<div class="instructions" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; font-style: normal; text-align: left;">
4. <strong>Check on your cinnamon filling:</strong> Open up the baggie again and give it a good stir to re-incorporate any butter that may have separated. You want the mixture to thicken a bit- it's best when it's similar to the squeezing texture of toothpaste (which will eventually happen if you leave it on the counter long enough, but refrigerate for a few minutes if you need to). Don't try to use the filling for the pancake swirl unless it has thickened as it will be too runny! Snip off a small piece of the corner of the baggie. </div>
<div class="instructions" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; font-style: normal; text-align: left;">
5. <strong>Cook the pancakes:</strong> Preheat a large skillet or griddle to medium, and spray it with nonstick spray. Use an ice cream scoop (or ladle) to add the batter to the pan. Use the bottom of the scoop or ladle to spread out the batter into a nice, even circle. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Pick up your cinnamon filling baggie and squeeze the filling into the corner. Starting at the center of the pancake squeeze the cinnamon filling on top of the pancake batter in a swirl (just as you see in a cinnamon roll). Cook the pancakes 3 to 4 minutes, or until bubbles begin popping on top of the pancake and it is golden brown on the bottom. Slide a thin spatula underneath the pancake and <em>gently but quickly</em> flip it over. Cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes, until the other side is golden as well. When you flip the pancake onto a plate, you will see that the cinnamon filling has created a crater-swirl of cinnamon. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel, and repeat with the remaining pancake batter and cinnamon filling. Serve pancakes topped with a drizzle of cream cheese icing.</div>

The holidays should be sweet, and so should your

a bitter, dry wine. The cardinal cocktail is simply a kir made from red
wine!<br />

as they are sweet and can be enjoyed with the drink!</div>

DIRECTIONS:</div>
<div class="directions" style="color: #5e5e5e; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<div class="instructions" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<ol style="margin-bottom: 17px; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px;">
<li style="margin: 10px 0px 16px; padding: 0px;">Preheat
oven to 350F. Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, spray with
cooking spray; set aside.
<li style="margin: 10px 0px 16px; padding: 0px;">In
a large, microwave-safe bowl melt the butter, about 1 minute on high power.
<li style="margin: 10px 0px 16px; padding: 0px;">Wait
momentarily before adding the egg so you don't scramble it. Add the egg, brown
sugar, vanilla, and whisk until smooth.
<li style="margin: 10px 0px 16px; padding: 0px;">Add
the flour and stir until just combined, don't overmix.
<li style="margin: 10px 0px 16px; padding: 0px;">Stir
in the chocolate chips.
<li style="margin: 10px 0px 16px; padding: 0px;">Turn
batter out into prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
<li style="margin: 10px 0px 16px; padding: 0px;">Evenly
add and swirl the peanut butter. To create the marbled pattern shown, drizzle
peanut butter over batter in 5 wide, evenly spaced, parallel lines, each
spanning the length of the pan. Like 5 rows of long train tracks. Rotate pan
90-degrees. With a toothpick, starting at the top of the pan, "draw" 4 or 5
evenly spaced lines through the peanut butter. You're dragging the toothpick
perpendicularly through the first set of lines to create the marbling.
<li style="margin: 10px 0px 0px; padding: 0px;">Bake
for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until done. A toothpick inserted in the center
should come out clean, or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. Allow bars
to cool in pan for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. Bars will
keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to
6 months.</li>

<strong><span style="font-size: small;"></span></strong> </div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, room temperature </div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
2 cups unsalted butter, softened </div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
4 cups all-purpose flour </div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
1 pound chopped walnuts </div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
1 (12 ounce) can poppyseed filling </div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
1 egg </div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
1/2 cup honey </div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
1 egg white </div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting </div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
Directions</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
1. In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese and butter until well
blended. I like to use my hands, but ou can also use a wooden spoon. Mix in the flour 1 cup at a time. As the
dough becomes stiff, turn it out onto the counter and knead in flour until it is no longer sticky.
Continue to knead the dough for 5 minutes.</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Crush the walnuts to a
fine consistency in a food processor. Stir in the egg and honey. On a well floured surface, roll the
dough out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut the dough into 3x3 inch squares. Place a teaspoon of filling in the
center of each square. Use walnut for some and poppyseed for the rest. Roll the squares up and seal
the edges. These can also be formed into triangles. Place the cookies 2 inches apart onto ungreased
cookie sheets. Brush with egg white.</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
3. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly
browned. When cool, dust with confectioners' sugar.</div>

Directions</h2>
<div class="fn_instructions" itemprop="recipeInstructions">
Fill a deep-fryer or large Dutch oven halfway with vegetable oil and heat to 350 degrees F.<br />
Mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a large shallow bowl, set aside.<br />
Combine the butter, water and sugar in a large saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Once it has come to a boil, lower to a medium heat and add the flour, orange zest and nutmeg, stirring constantly until it comes away from the pan and it forms a ball. Transfer dough to a bowl and use an electric mixer to help cool it off. At this point you can whisk in the eggs, 1 at a time, until it becomes a smooth batter. Transfer the mixture into a large piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Working in batches, carefully pipe 4-inch long ribbons directly into the hot oil to fry. Fry until golden, turning if necessary, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with tongs and drain on paper towels. Transfer the churros into the sugar/cinnamon mixture and toss to coat. Serve immediately while still warm.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;"></span> </div>
<div>
<b>Ingredients</b></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
2 Tbsp Olive Oil</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
1 1/2 C. finely chopped yellow onions</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
1 Tbsp minced garlic</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
2 lb potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2" cubes (I use Yukon potatoes)</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
9 C. Chicken stock, or canned low-sodium chicken broth</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
1/2 Tsp crushed red pepper</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
1/2 lb chourico or linguica, sliced crosswise into 1/4" pieces (Chourico
Portugues is not spicy like the Mexican chorizo. It may be a challenge to find
this one but you can use Italian sausage as long as it's dry and hard
sausage)</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
1/2 lb kale</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
1/4 C. chopped parsley</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
1/2 C. chopped cilantro</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
2 Tbsp chopped mint</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
Salt and pepper</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
Crusty bread, as an accompaniment</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<b>Directions</b></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
1. In a large soup pot, heat olive oil and saute onion and garlic until
vegetables are wilted, about 4 minutes.</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
2. Add potatoes, chicken stock, and minced crushed red pepper, and bring to
a boil. Season with salt and pepper, reduce heat to a simmer and cook, covered,
until potatoes fall apart, about 1 hr. To speed up this process, the potatoes
can be mashed with a potato masher.</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
3. While the soup is cooking, roll the kale leaves so that they may be
inserted into a meat grinder or shredder fitted with a small die and finely
grind the kale. Alternatively, can be shredded in a food processor fitted with a
shredder blade. Set aside.</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
4. When the soup is thick and the potatoes have broken up, whisk to break
up the remaining potato pieces. Add the sausage and cook for 15 minutes. Stir in
the shredded kale and simmer until the leaves are softened but still lightly
crunchy and flavors have melded, about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the parsley,
cilantro, mint, and season, to taste, with salt and pepper.</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
Serve with crusty bread.</div>

<h2>
What you'll need</h2>
<ul>
<li itemprop="ingredients">2-1/4 cups flour</li>
<li itemprop="ingredients">1/2 teaspoon baking powder</li>
<li itemprop="ingredients">1/2 teaspoon baking soda</li>
<li itemprop="ingredients">1/2 teaspoon salt</li>
<li itemprop="ingredients">1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg</li>
<li itemprop="ingredients">1/2 cup vegetable shortening</li>
<li itemprop="ingredients">2 tablespoons soft butter</li>
<li itemprop="ingredients">1 cup sugar</li>
<li itemprop="ingredients">1 large egg</li>
<li itemprop="ingredients">1/3 cup sour cream</li>
<li itemprop="ingredients">1 teaspoon vanilla extract</li>
<li itemprop="ingredients">1 teaspoon grated lemon zest</li>
<li itemprop="ingredients">Colored sugar or edible glitter</li>
</ul>
<div class="detail-instructions">
<h2>
How to make it</h2>
<ol>
<li>Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg into a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the shortening and butter. Gradually mix in the sugar. Beat in the egg until blended, then the sour cream, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.</li>
<li>With a wooden spoon, stir the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture half at a time, until evenly mixed. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for 30 to 60 minutes.</li>
<li>Shortly before baking heat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease one or two large cookie sheets, or line them with parchment paper. Put the decorative sugar into small bowls.</li>
<li>With lightly floured hands, shape the dough into 1-1/2-inch-thick balls. Roll the balls in the colored sugar and place them on the prepared baking sheets spaced about 3 inches apart. Bake the cookies on the center oven rack for 15 to 18 minutes, until they're a light golden brown. Cool the cookies on the sheet for 2 to 3 minutes. Then use a spatula to transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling. Makes about 24 cookies.</li>

Preheat oven to 375°F. Place flour, 1/2 cup powdered sugar,
butter, basil, both zests, lemon juice, and salt in a food processor. Pulse

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
Ingredients</div>
<br />
<ul>
<li>About 3 small-medium ripe Bananas<b></b>
<li>1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips<b></b>
<li>2 Tbsp melted Extra Virgin Coconut Oil<b></b>
<li>2-3 tbsp assorted Nuts (Almonds, Pistachios, Pecans, Hazelnuts, Walnuts
etc), (<b>optional</b>) </li>
</li>
</li>
</li>
</ul>
<br />
Step by step:<br />
<br />
1 - Cut the bananas into bite sized pieces. <br />
2 - Place them on a foil covered baking sheet (or use parchment paper).<br />
<br />
3 - Poke them with cocktail forks or any other fancy things you might possess
in your pantry waiting to be put to good use. Freeze them for about 2 hours or
until frozen.<br />
<br />
4 - Meanwhile dry toast any nuts of your choice.<br />
<br />
5 - Cool them and chop them coarsely into teeny tiny pieces. Set aside.<br />
6
- Stir together the coconut oil and chocolate chips on top of a double boiler.
Make sure to melt the oil before using. Keep stirring until the chocolate is
melted and all smooth (and velvety).
<br />
7 - Now remove the frozen banana, dip it in the chocolate - completely or
half way as per your liking.<br />
<br />
8 - You can either sprinkle the nuts on top of it and just roll it on the
nuts.<br />
<br />
9 - Place it back on the cold baking sheet until dried.<br />
<br />
Serve this pronto or re-freeze it until serving. </div>

<br />
Most of us include wonderful tummy tempting recipes along with our holiday festivities. I don't know about yours, but my family members like to try new recipes, especially for Thanksgiving. If you have a wonderful, tried and true recipe you'd like to share, please send it to me for inclusion in this blog post. Send to: <a href=" http://www.seamsvictorian.etsy.com">lealoureed@hotmail.com </a><br />
<br />
Well, if we're going to share recipes, what better way to start than with brownies! With a title like this, how can you go wrong, right?<br />
<br />
BETTER-THAN-SEX BROWNIES<br />
<br />
Cream together: 1 stick of softened butter and 1 cup sugar. <br />
Beat in one at a time: 1 1-pound can of Hershey's chocolate syrup and 4 eggs.<br />
Add: 1 cup unsifted flour and 1 cup chopped nuts.<br />
Pour into a 15" x 10" jelly roll pan (or cookie sheet with sides).<br />
<br />
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes.<br />
<br />
<br />
While baking,make the frosting as follows...............<br />
<br />
The Frosting<br />
1 stick of butter<br />
1-1/2 cups sugar<br />
1/2 cup evaporated milk<br />
1/2 cup chocolate chips<br />
<br />
Melt the butter completely in a 1/1/2 quart saucepan, on medium heat setting. Twirl pan until all melted. <br />
Add evaporated milk; will look yellow and white and gurgle.....(i swear that is what the directions say!) Stir till a clear yellow.<br />
Remove from heat and add sugar, stir, and then return to medium heat.<br />
Stir very gently till sugar dissolves in a fuzzy cloud.<br />
Turn up to medium high heat.<br />
After dissolving sugar, boil 1-2 minutes, and remove from heat.<br />
Add chocolate chips and stir into glaze (when it gets a medium brown color).<br />
Spread in thin layer with hot, wet knife right when you remove the brownies from the oven!<br />

Quick is the word! Aren't we all looking for tasty dishes that don't take forever to make? This one is a family recipe handed down from Mary's Grandma.<br />
<br />
Quick Sauerbraten<br />
<br />
4-5 lb pot roast (chuck, round, or rump)<br />
1/4 cup vegetable oil<br />
1/2 cup chopped onions<br />
2 tsp. salt<br />
2 T. mixed pickling spices<br />
1 cup red wine vinegar<br />
3 cups water<br />
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed<br />
12 gingersnap cookies, crumbled<br />
<br />
<br />
Brown roast slowly on all sides in oil in heavy kettle or Dutch oven. Pour off excess oil. Add onion, salt, pickling spices, red wine vinegar, water, and brown sugar. Simmer 3 to 4 hours or until tender. Remove meat, keep warm. Strain liquid left in kettle and measure out 4 cups. Add gingersnaps. Cook and stir until smooth and slightly thickened. If a thicker gravy is desired, add more gingersnaps. Serve with noodles or mashed potatoes. Roasted carrots make an AMAZING side dish for this item!!<br />

3/4 tsp. salt <br />
1/2 stick butter or margarine <br />
1 5 oz. can evaporated milk (2/3 c.) <br />
1 Jar (7 1/2oz) Marshmallow Fluff <br />
3/4 tsp. vanilla <br />
1 12-oz. package semi-sweet chocolate pieces <br />
1 /2 c. chopped walnuts <br />
<br />
Grease a 9-inch square baking pan; set aside. In large saucepan combine the first 5 ingredients. Stir over low heat until blended. Increase heat to Medium and bring to a full-rolling boil being careful not to mistake escaping air bubbles for boiling. Boil slowly, stirring constantly for 5 minutes (use Soft-Ball test; <a href="http://http://www.marshmallowfluff.com/pages/faq.html">http://www.marshmallowfluff.com/pages/faq.html</a>). Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and chocolate until chocolate is melted. Add nuts. Turn into greased pan and cool. Makes 2 1/2 pounds.<br />
<br />
Hint: As with all fudge recipes, cooking time will vary depending on factors such as humidity and altitude. For best results, use the softball test to make sure the fudge has been cooked enough.

Classic Sugar Cookies<br />
<br />
When I was growing up. It was tradition every year that we would bake batches and batches of sugar cookies. Each one cut into a lovely shape with my mom’s cookie cutters, that were given to her from her mother. My unique (sometimes called rebellious lol) artistic side would come out even then. As my cookies were lovingly nicknamed by my step-dad as “indigestion” cookies. I would cover them in every different color icing and decorative topping possible. The crazier the better! I can even remember my mother foregoing the craziest ones on the “big” table on Christmas eve. Relegating them to Santa’s snack dish that we always prepared before bed. Which was fine by me! <br />
<br />
Ingredients<br />
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour <br />
1 teaspoon baking soda <br />
1/2 teaspoon baking powder <br />
1 cup butter, softened <br />
1 1/2 cups white sugar <br />
1 egg <br />
1 teaspoon vanilla extract <br />
<br />
Directions<br />
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside. <br />
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients. Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, and place onto ungreased cookie sheets. <br />
Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden. <br />
