Cooking Rice in the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Start with one cup of uncooked rice. This will be enough for four regular servings of rice. To make a double batch, just double all the quantities given here (but not the cooking times).
- Rinse the rice with cold water until the water is clear. You don't absolutely need to rinse the rice, but doing so removes excess starch that can make the rice come out sticky. The flip-side is that rinsing the rice washes away some of the nutrients that are added to white rice. The choice is yours. Note that you don't need to rinse brown rice.
DIY Lego Table
I saw this awesome table on Pinterest the other day. But just the picture :( However, I realize you can get these tables dirt cheap at garage sales or your local thrift store.
This is awesome for your kiddos, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or in your classroom. This would make an awesome gift for those you love.
Light Saber Ice Pop Hilts
So because Ice Pops come in so many flavors our family is making these with two black buttons. That way I don't have to worry about not having enough blue, red, green, orange, or purple hilts!

Birthday Ballon Wreath
The other day I stumbled upon this picture on Pinterest with no link. Sad but true. However I did find the blog which containes the actual tutorial on how to make a balloon wreath. I think the amount of balloons needed depends on what size wreath you use. Also, you can add a bow, pipe cleaners, birthday hat etc.
Birthday Balloon Wreath!
First you need balloons. Lots and lots of balloons.
Ice Cream Cone Balloons
This is just the kind of idea that makes our heart go pitter patter. Jazz up your next bunch of helium-filled balloons by turning them into ice cream cones.
Leave it to Martha (and her team) to come up with something so ingenious and simple. All you need is some brown kraft paper folded into a cone shape and attached to the bottom of your balloon. We're definitely trying this the next time we have occasion to buy balloons.
Cute Birthday Wreath
