<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>DIRECTIONS</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">• To make the pumpkin cookies, preheat the oven to 350°
F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking
mats. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda,
baking powder and spices. Set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk
sugars and oil together. Add the pumpkin puree and whisk to combine
thoroughly. Add the eggs and vanilla and whisk until combined.
Sprinkle the flour mixture over the pumpkin mixture and whisk until completely
combined.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">• Transfer the cookie batter to a pastry bag fitted with
a large plain round tip (I use an Ateco #809). Pipe small rounds of the
batter onto the prepared baking sheets, about 1½-2 inches in diameter.
(If your dough seems to thick to pipe, you can drop scoops of it onto the
baking sheet. Or just add a bit more liquid. This recipe is pretty
forgiving.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">• Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the cookies are just
starting to crack on top and a toothpick inserted into the center of a cookie
comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the pan
for about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Repeat with remaining batter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">• To make the filling, combine the butter and cream
cheese in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat on medium-heat speed until
smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Add the powdered sugar, maple syrup and
vanilla and beat until smooth. Be careful not to overbeat the filling or
it will lose structure. Transfer the filling to a pastry bag fitted with
a plain tip.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">• To assemble, pair the cookies up by size. Pipe
filling onto the flat side of one cookie of each pair, and sandwich together
with the remaining cookie. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm
before serving.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's a quick and easy snack that will keep you noming all month long. I had my first experience with cooking a pumpkin in my oven. I froze the insides and cooked the seeds. Truth be told, I had never had pumpkin seeds before the time I made these. Clearly I was missing out, because they tasted so good. Caroline had a taste too. She liked them, but we all had a hard time sharing. ;)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">• 1 whole Pumpkin, Gutted<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">• Olive Oil<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Directions</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As you gut the pumpkins, keep all the seeds—and guts—in a
bowl.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Throw them into a colander and rinse them under cold
water, pulling away the chunks of pulp as you go.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Spread the rinsed seeds out on a baking sheet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Allow the seeds to dry several hours or overnight. And
beware: they’re quite sticky/slimy, so don’t place them on paper towels! Just
leave ‘em on the baking sheet and they’ll be fine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When they’re nice and dry, go ahead and preheat the oven
to 250 degrees.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Begin by drizzling the seeds with a couple teaspoons of
olive oil.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Use your fingers to toss the seeds around to coat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then salt and season the seeds to taste.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Pop ‘em in the oven for an hour or so, until the seeds
are light golden brown.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Let them cool for a few minutes…then let the snacking
begin!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Pumpkin seeds need to be stored in an airtight container
if they last beyond the first day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love the cool crisp mornings that we have been having. It's nice to sit around on a Saturday morning and enjoy it. Toast with pumpkin butter really just puts the icing on the cake. It's not just good on toast though (that's just my favorite way). You can stir it into oatmeal, eat it on crackers or yogurt! It will also make your house smell like fall so enjoy it!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Welcome to pumpkin month. Probably my favorite in the Foodie Friday world. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's a quick DIY that will add some 'spice' to your life. </span></div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is a quick pumpkin spice recipe that you can whip up in minutes and keep on hand for when the pumpkin mood strikes. Some recipes call for 'pumpkin spice'. Others call for a little cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg--when that's the case you can easily substitute an equal amount of pumpkin spice and save yourself some time and measuring. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm seriously on an easy streak these days. With my busy schedule, I'm having a hard time with making any effort on dinner. And a lot of nights it's a straight up grilled cheese. </span></div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I honestly wonder why the grilled cheese sandwich is not its own category on the food pyramid. Anyway, this is the big mac of the grilled cheese sandwich. One of the things that I love about this is that you can prepare most of these items ahead of time or the night before, so when its time for dinner all you have to do is assemble. BTW...the most important part of this whole sandwich is the mayonnaise. Don't forget it!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Preparation Instructions<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat and
cook the onions low and slow for about 20 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove
them to a place when they're deep golden brown and soft.<---This is the best way to eat onions. Yum!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fry the bacon in the same skillet until slightly crisp.
Remove to a paper towel to drain.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Combine the mayonnaise and the hot sauce and stir. Taste
and add more hot sauce if needed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sprinkle the sliced eggs generously with salt and pepper.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To assemble, spread one side of each piece of bread with
the spicy mayo. Build the sandwich however you wish: eggs, bacon, cheese,
onions, more eggs, more cheese. Spread one side of the assembled sandwich with
softened butter and put it butter-side down on a griddle or skillet over
medium-low heat. Spread the top side with butter, then continue grilling the
sandwich until the bread is golden and slightly crisp and the filling is
warm/cheese is melted.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cut in half and enjoy!</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span itemprop="instructions" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br />
Directions<br />
In a large pot over medium-high heat, brown the meat with the onion, celery, and garlic. Remove the pot from the heat and drain off as much fat as you can. (Discard the fat once it cools.)<br />
Return the pot to the heat and add the rest of the ingredients. Stir to combine, then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, then cover the pot and simmer the soup for 15-20 more minutes, until potatoes are tender but not overly mushy.<br />
Soup should be somewhat thick, but if you’d like it to be more “soupy,” add 1 to 2 cups more broth OR hot water and heat through. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt if needed.<br />
Serve with crusty bread!<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I thought I should post some real food around here, lest you think all we eat is dessert. It's just more fun ;)</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Chinese food brings back lots of childhood memories for me. We used to always get take out chinese when we would get home from vacation. But we don't really have a good chinese place around here, so..homemade it is. This is so easy and good. I recommend a side of broccoli and some frozen egg rolls on the side if you want to go really crazy!</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">6 TB butter, divided<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1/2 cup honey<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">6 TB lemon juice<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">DIRECTIONS<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Heat oven to 350. In a shallow dish combine the flour and
seasonings. Dip each piece of chicken in flour mixture and coat evenly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Melt 2 TB butter in a shallow baking dish, large enough to
accommodate chicken in a single layer. Arrange chicken in pan and bake
uncovered for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt remaining butter and
add honey, lemon juice, soy sauce and ginger.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After chicken has baked the 30 minutes, turn each piece over
and pour sauce mixture evenly over chicken. Bake another 30 to 40 minutes
basting frequently.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's the problem. My motivation- it's gone. It wasn't until my recent promotion that I realized how people could work all the time and literally not care about anything.</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Now that's me. Some days I'm lucky to leave work by 7PM. Other days I leave at a normal time but still come home and do nothing. I'm not hungry. I don't want to make dinner. I don't want to eat dinner. I don't want to clean, bake, take pictures, work on a photo book, nothing. All the things I used to love and care about I'm pretty much over. I come home and hang out, go to bed and replay it all the next day. It's a lot less stressful for sure, and I love my job, but it's just different, you know?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So there was no Foodie Friday post last week and there might not be a Foodie Friday post next week, but we will just play it by ear. I don't like that I am literally forcing myself to write a post. It should be fun. Like making pie. Making pie is fun. Buying fresh peaches at the farmer's market and making a pie is so stinking fulfilling--and sometimes you just get the urge. It's not frequent anymore, but it's still there. In fact last night, I made <a href="http://thepaperheartstudio.blogspot.com/2013/04/peanut-butter-cup-cookies-foodie-friday.html">these</a>, so all is not lost. yet anyway.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2¼ lbs. ripe peaches
(about 10-12 medium peaches)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
½ cup sugar
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4 tbsp. flour</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
Dash of grated nutmeg</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
1 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1 large egg
beaten with 1 tbsp. water, for egg wash<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Preheat
the oven to 425˚ F and place a baking sheet on the lowest oven rack to catch
dripping juices. Roll out half of the pie dough to approximately
12-inches round so that it fully lines a 9-inch pie plate with some overhang.
Transfer the lined pie plate to the refrigerator until ready to use.
Meanwhile, prep the filling. Peel the peaches and slice them
to ¼-inch thick slices.** In a large bowl, combine the peach slices
with the sugar, flour, cornstarch, and nutmeg. Toss to coat. Add in
the lemon juice and stir once more until well combined.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 2;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Remove
the lined pie plate from the refrigerator and pour in the peach filling in an
even layer. Roll out the remaining pie dough to a 12-inch round. Cut into
strips with a pastry cutter or paring knife and weave together to form a
lattice top. Trim away excess dough and crimp
the edges together. Lightly brush the top and edges of the pie dough with
the egg wash.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Bake
for 20 minutes, then decrease the oven temperature to 350˚ F and continue
baking until the pie is golden brown and the juices are bubbling, about 30-40
minutes more. (Check on the pie a few times during baking. If it is
browning too quickly, tent loosely with foil and continue baking as directed.)
Remove the finished pie to a wire rack and let cool until just warm, about
2 hours. Slice and serve.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Let's be real for a minute. On my birthday 2 weeks ago I found out that I got a promotion. I was all sorts of excited.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I was on vacation the following week, so I had a chance to let it all sink in. I've been in the new job for a week and a half now. It's been great. I love it. But it keeps me busier than I ever imagined. I even considered not doing a post today, because I just didn't have the time.
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5_nMgl2fkHU/UzoMbkXJzdI/AAAAAAAAFNs/sCzQdPGFDGI/s1600/IMG_5001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5_nMgl2fkHU/UzoMbkXJzdI/AAAAAAAAFNs/sCzQdPGFDGI/s1600/IMG_5001.jpg" height="640" width="426" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But then I decided I needed a snack. Who doesn't? Enter chocolate peanut butter. This is so easy I'm not sure you can even call it a recipe. I just poured a can of peanuts and a bag of chocolate chips into a food processor and BAM! Instant chocolate peanut butter. Excellent on crackers, toast, or my favorite -PRETZELS! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hopefully one day soon I will dig out of all my emails and get a post up about our new house! I can't believe we have been here a month already.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ingredients:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">16 ounces peanuts (honey
roasted or lightly-salted roasted peanuts are fine)
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1 tablespoon vanilla
extract
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2 cups semi-sweet chocolate
chips (one standard 12-ounce bag or 12 ounces chopped chocolate)
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">pinch of salt, optional and
to taste<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">DIRECTIONS:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Add peanuts to the canister of a food
processor, process on high power until creamy and smooth, about 5 minutes,
stopping to scrape down the sides of the canister if necessary. (the less scraping and interruptions, the better.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The peanuts will go through stages of:
crushed, crushed into a fine powder, a paste, a thicker paste, a big “dough
ball”, and then the ball will break down into runnier peanut butter. At the
point the peanut butter is runny, continue processing for about 1 to 2 more
minutes, making sure the peanut butter is as smooth as desired.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Add the vanilla, chocolate chips (you may wish
to start with 1 cup and work up to 2 cups of chips as desired), optional salt and
process for 2 to 3 minutes, or until smooth and incorporated. I add the vanilla
and chocolate chips all at once through the feed tube with the machine running,
but if using a weaker or older food processor, sprinkling them in more slowly
may prevent your machine from struggling.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Funny story. There was a gluten-free request at work that led to this deliciousness, but the night I made these I broke my ankle. I guess its a good thing that my kitchen was small and this recipe is not labor intensive. </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">By the time I was done I was really hurting. The next day I had to go in late to work so I could see someone about it. I could not walk at all. It ended up being a stress fracture. I got to wear this beauty for a month.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So that night my mom had to help me set all this up so I could take a picture. I used to take the pictures in our basement so she had to carry it all down there. I hobbled behind. She even brought a straw for the milk. Does anyone drink milk with a straw? Anyway, I was so glad to have help that day, and I would consider her for a prop stylist position in the future ;)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ingredients</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1/2 cup butter (1 stick)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1 cup light corn syrup</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1 cup sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1 cup peanut butter</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">8-10 cups rice krispies </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">11 oz chocolate chips</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">11 oz butterscotch chips</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In a large saucepan, melt butter. Add the corn syrup and sugar. Bring just to a boil and remove from the heat. Stir in peanut butter. Add rice krispies and mix well. Press mixture into a large baking sheet (11x17) (The scotcharoos in the picture were from a 9x13 and it was a touch thick for my liking) Melt the chocolate and butterscotch chips using the double boiler method. (I always burn them in the microwave.) Spread melted chips on top of the rice krispie mixture. Let chocolate set. Cut into squares.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've been on vacation this week, and one of my favorite things to do is make snacks to take with us. This vacation is a 'sit around and read at the beach' type so there is lots of snacking going on.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This recipe makes a lot. I didn't have 1 bowl big enough to make it all in one, so I essentially split the recipe in half and made two 'half recipes' at the same time. Hope that makes sense. Do they even make 2 gallon ziploc bags? I sure don't have any, so I just used a gallon size and did it twice. I'm confident in your ability to figure it out. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Enjoy a classic favorite!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of my favorite ways to eat spaghetti is like <a href="http://thepaperheartstudio.blogspot.com/2013/11/skillet-baked-spaghetti-with-meat-sauce.html">this</a>. The other is the more traditional way with meatballs! When we first started eating the <a href="http://thepaperheartstudio.blogspot.com/2013/11/skillet-baked-spaghetti-with-meat-sauce.html">Skillet Baked Spaghetti</a> we ate it that way a lot. Then we decided we needed to mix it up a little and rotate it with the traditional way. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So that being said, I love them both. But they are very different. Serve with a side of <a href="http://thepaperheartstudio.blogspot.com/2014/03/french-bread-rolls-foodie-friday.html">French Bread Rolls</a> and you will impress everyone at the table. I also love a crusty bread with oil and herbs, but I haven't shared that recipe yet. Whoops.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For

Freshly cooked spaghetti (I used 12 ounces-serves 4)<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Directions: </em><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />
To make the meatballs, in a medium mixing bowl combine 1/4 cup of the bread
crumbs with the milk. Let the bread crumbs soak for 10 minutes. Add
the remaining ingredients to the bowl and mix thoroughly. Form the
mixture into meatballs (I usually get about 20-25 out of one batch). Pour
spaghetti sauce into a large saucepan and turn to medium heat. Add the
meatballs to the sauce and let simmer about 45 minutes until the meatballs are
cooked through.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm not sure what I like more about Saturdays. The fact that I don't 'have' to get up and do anything or the fact that I can eat something other than cereal for breakfast.</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> It's probably the combination that wakes me up with a smile on my face. Another combination that makes me smile is chocolate +chocolate, but that shouldn't be a surprise. Calling it a muffin is basically an excuse to eat cake for breakfast. Personally--I love to eat cake for breakfast-it's good at every meal really ;) . It's kind of a thing I do on my birthday- eat cake at every meal. And my birthday is Wednesday. I guess I should get on the cake thing...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://thepaperheartstudio.blogspot.com/2014/06/photo-books-making-list.html">In my last post</a> I talked about listing out all the steps to complete a photo book. Today we will go through the nitty gritty of the actual 'putting together' of the photo book. </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Without a doubt the most time spent is actually putting the photo book together. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://thepaperheartstudio.blogspot.com/2014/06/photo-books-making-list.html">In the last post</a> I had 'make photo book' as on of the items on the list. In reality I break this down in to many small steps to be completed. If I am working on a yearly photo book, I will break it down by month and try to work through it that way. For our Disney trip, I did it by the day. You just have to break it down into the chunks that work best for you. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Breaking it up into pieces makes it feel much more manageable to me and therefore I can actually accomplish the entire project without getting overwhelmed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are some actual shots of the photo book I did for 2013. Its completed now, but I took some screenshots to show you my process.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-065CpUHPBZg/UwF9O7hnrxI/AAAAAAAAFK0/b0rlzV0Ux_c/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-01-23+at+11.59.08+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-065CpUHPBZg/UwF9O7hnrxI/AAAAAAAAFK0/b0rlzV0Ux_c/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-01-23+at+11.59.08+AM.png" height="316" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Step 1: Put the photos on the page. The first step is to literally drop the photos on the page. <a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/">Shutterfly </a>will automatically pick a layout for you based on the number of pictures on the page. I don't mess with it at first. I just get all the pictures on the pages I want then move on. (You could do this for the month, year or whole book as you see fit)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-G3fGASIBKoI/UwF9PGJw7OI/AAAAAAAAFK4/pcYE1mb7T7I/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-01-23+at+12.01.45+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-G3fGASIBKoI/UwF9PGJw7OI/AAAAAAAAFK4/pcYE1mb7T7I/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-01-23+at+12.01.45+PM.png" height="316" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Step 2: Layout. Once I have all the pictures on the pages I want, I then use the Layout tab to select the layout that works best for the number of pictures I have. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mdi5n3bfRBY/UwF9PJM90LI/AAAAAAAAFLA/ab2vFRdwmhE/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-01-23+at+12.02.19+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mdi5n3bfRBY/UwF9PJM90LI/AAAAAAAAFLA/ab2vFRdwmhE/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-01-23+at+12.02.19+PM.png" height="310" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Step 3: Add a background color. I generally keep both pages in a spread the same color or same theme so its not too distracting. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TmRpzq1cyyY/UwF9QM2QY3I/AAAAAAAAFLI/EoqWZ6paRIE/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-01-23+at+12.03.33+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TmRpzq1cyyY/UwF9QM2QY3I/AAAAAAAAFLI/EoqWZ6paRIE/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-01-23+at+12.03.33+PM.png" height="252" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Step 4: Add the details. Generally the last thing I do is add text and stickers. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><u><i>Buy it!</i></u></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Don't forget to preview and proof your book before you buy it! You can't change anything after you order. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As far as ordering goes—I generally wait until photo books are 50% off (this generally <i>includes</i> extra pages, which I use a lot of) and I have a free shipping code. Making the photo book is the hard part-not ordering. Sometimes the books will sit in my cart for months. I usually order all of them around Thanksgiving when they run the sale. Then I redeem my coke reward points to for a free photo book. For the past couple years the most I have paid for is 50% for the extra pages. Divine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, does this seem manageable to you? I really think breaking it down into little pieces makes the whole process possible without becoming overwhelming.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've posted a lot of goodies the past couple weeks, so I thought we were overdue for some veggies. Although I have to say, that these really are good enough to eat for dessert. </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was eating them right off the tray when they came out of the oven. I never had roasted veggies growing up, so this is new territory for me. I thought it would be weird or that they would taste too different this way, but they taste so delicious. Have you ever had roasted veggies?</span><br />

<span style="background: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="background: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">“Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Isn’t this so true? I don’t know how your mind works, but I spend a lot of random time in my day thinking, “Oh, I need to remember to wash my jeans so they will be ready for tomorrow.” And then two hours later “ I need to remember to pick up that CD from the library” And other random things-the list just piles up to the point that I can’t remember any of it. I have a terrible memory and as soon as I get home I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing. So the only thing I can do is to <i>make a list</i>.

<span style="background: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><i>Every day</i> I make a list of the things I need/want to accomplish, but here’s the secret. <b><i>I don’t usually get it all done</i></b>. Some of the things on my list are things that I’m really just hoping to finish by the end of the week or so. If it doesn’t get done ‘today’ then I put it on tomorrow’s list. It just helps me make time for life. Things come up so <i>I can’t let my list define me</i>. The other thing is that I usually don’t look at the list once I leave work *<b>gasp</b>* The simple act of just <b><i>writing it down</i></b> helps put my mind in gear for the things that I need to get done. This is the strategy that I have been employing for the last couple of months. It has really helped me to increase my productivity. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Do a load of laundry</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">What does this have to do with getting a photo book accomplished? Well, I follow the same strategy when making photo books. I start with a list. A very detailed list with all the steps from start to finish. Making the list gets me excited to actually complete the tasks on it and helps me actually get started. Here’s an example of a list for <u>one</u> of the photo books I am planning on doing this year:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Scan twin ultrasounds</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Organize photos- I like to put all the photos into one folder for easier upload</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Upload photos to <a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/">Shutterfly</a></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Pick photo book-I just pick one, name it and click save. They have a lot of choices, so this can sometimes be overwhelming.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Make photo book</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Order photo book</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Burn disk for photo book</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I break out the individual steps to make the process more manageable. Putting "Make photo book" on my to do list will never happen, but if I put "organize photos from 2009" that I can probably do in 20 minutes and mark it off the list.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So..I actually thought I had posted this recipe already. It works out I suppose, because it's the perfect thing to make for your 4th of July cookout. I took the recipe for <a href="http://www.thepaperheartstudio.blogspot.com/2014/04/pistachio-lush-foodie-friday.html">Pistachio Lush</a> and converted it to a chocolate version. (That's what girls who love chocolate do!)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is simply to die for. What I love is that you can make the pudding and brownies from scratch or from a box (for those of us who are knee deep in unpacking boxes it'll be from a box, thank you!). It's flexible, and soo incredibly delicious.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9x13 pan. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In a large bowl, add eggs, and beat with cocoa, salt, baking powder, espresso powder and vanilla.

It will be pretty thin. Bake brownies about 10 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center of the brownies and making a little divit so you can see the center a bit. You should find moist crumbs, but no wet batter. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cool pan on wire cooling rack.<br /><br /><b>Layer #2</b><br /><br />1 cup powdered sugar<br />1 cup whipped topping<br />8 oz cream cheese<br /><br />Mix together until smooth.<br />Spread on Layer #1<br /><br /><b>Layer #3</b><br /><br />2 (3 oz) pkgs instant chocolate pudding or <a href="http://thepaperheartstudio.blogspot.com/2013/08/chocolate-pudding-foodie-friday.html">make your own</a><br />2 1/2 cups cold milk<br /><br />Mix together and let sit 5 minutes.<br />Spread on top of layer #2.

I know I didn't look close to this good when I went to prom, and we certainly don't need to post those pictures. Here are a couple of my favorites from their mini-session.</span></div>

<span style="background: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">It's July 1st, so I thought it was time to take a look at my list of things I was hoping to accomplish for the year. The one thing I have actually been able to stay on top of this year is photo books. </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="background: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">These really have become ‘my thing’ for the past
couple years. They are faster, cheaper, and take up less space than traditional scrapbooking, and
since I’m cheap and short on time, they are the perfect solution for me. But
photo books can take a lot of time, especially if you sit down and try to do it
all at one time. </span><br />
<span style="background: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">I have found that the key to accomplishing anything is to
<b><i>keep up</i></b>. I know it sounds obvious, but things get out of hand really quickly (for me, anyway)</span><br />
<span style="background: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">I take tons of photos, for example. So editing every ‘photo event’ within a week
helps me not fall behind. My husband also has the same philosophy about me
doing the dishes. *<b>snarl</b>* </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Photo books can be never ending, because there is always
something new to be done. Every year I make a family photo book, so as soon as
I am done with one, it’s time to move on to the next one. The task can be
daunting. <b><i>The key I have learned is to start with your life now and keep moving
forward.</i></b> If you can stay on top of that, then you can start working on events
of the past. I have done photo books for
2010, 2011, 2012 and our trip to Disney in 2013. I recently finished our photo book for 2013. And this year for the first time I have done 2014 as the year has progressed. Since I have managed to stay
on top of that, I have also had time to do a photo book of our engagement
photos and three photo books last year for our cousin’s engagement, bridal
shower and wedding. That was 6 photo books I made last year. Wow-I am a little
impressed that I even can type that, honestly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background: white; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span>
<span style="background: white; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">I am so glad that I started
doing this when Caroline was a baby. I think I would feel so overwhelmed trying
to start back in 2010. BUT if that’s where you are, it <b><i>can</i></b> be done and I’m
going to show you how I do it! If I can do 6 photo books in a year, anyone can!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sometimes it's just nice to have dessert without all the leftovers. Alright, two people can share this if it is absolutely necessary, but really--this cookie has browned butter and salt. You won't want to share.

He's such a charmer and I know he will be breaking a lot of hearts in the future. He had his session with his cousin and they are both on the move in a major way!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our move date is now pushing close to the one week mark. As we get closer I am starting to fall back on dinners that are quick and easy. </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Weekly we're falling back on spaghetti, tacos and the like that take little time and effort. It also gives us more time to get outside and enjoy the weather...that is assuming it isn't thunderstorming (thank you, Indiana). </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is a quick and easy dinner that will not only leave you satisfied, but also asking for more. This made great leftovers and while <a href="http://thepaperheartstudio.blogspot.com/2013/11/broccoli-and-cheesy-chicken-pasta.html">pasta</a> with <a href="http://thepaperheartstudio.blogspot.com/2012/07/parmesan-chicken-with-bow-ties-foodie.html">broccoli</a> and chicken is certainly not a new concept, the cheese sauce on this is probably something a little outside of your normal.
