Crochet Ear Warmers

I learned to crochet a few months ago and have learned so much. I wanted to share a few projects.
My most popular paid for item so far has been the ear warmers.
Here are some examples most colors are for local schools and the one with the large rose is for my daughter.

They are made with a double stitch and chain three at each end which gives it the little decorative gap.

Oven Baked Corn On The Cob

I am intimidated by the grill. I have never used one and knowing me I would burn anything I tried to cook on the grill. I usually boil corn but looking through pins on Pinterest I noticed a few friends pinning stuff about baking corn. I Googled it and searched through several and gave it a try.

All you have to do is:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

Leave corn in husk place on baking sheet or right on the rack

Bake for 30-35 minutes

I keep my corn in the refrigerator so I did 35 minutes. Now after the trial tonight I would recommend doing the larger ears of corn a little longer. They were done at 35 minutes but not quite as soft as the smaller ones.

Overall they were great. I just added a little butter, salt, and pepper. I think I will be cooking them like this for now on.

Easy Pork Stir Fry

 Ingredients:
Thin sliced boneless pork chops
1 bag of frozen mixed veggies
Minute rice
Soy Sauce
Salt
Pepper
Garlic
 
I use Minute Rice and you will want to start the rice before you cook the veggies and meat.
I use the one measured for 2 servings on the box.
It is called Minute Rice but it takes about 7 minutes. You heat the water to boiling, add rice, stir, remove from heat, cover with a lid, and wait 5 minutes.

Cut pork chops into squares

Heat oil in skillet. Once hot add veggies and cook until tender.

Add pork

Cook until all meat is cooked through. Add seasonings.

Add minute rice.

Add a few dashes of soy sauce and stir.

Easy and quick dinner.

Enjoy.

1 large can of Hunts tomato sauce
1 small can of chicken broth
1-2 potatoes pealed and cubed
Seasonings

Directions:
Fry the hamburger and drain grease. Peal and cut potatoes.
Add the hamburger, potatoes, mixed vegetables, tomato sauce, chicken broth, and desired seasonings to the crock pot. Cook on high for 3-4 hours until potatoes are done.
