Friday's Gardening

For those of you who need some gardening tips, my old roommate Nicole does a gardening post on her blog called Friday's Gardening. She was a horticulture major at BYU-Idaho and is putting her knowledge to good use. Every Friday she posts new tips on gardening, whether it be household plants, vegetable gardens, or landscaping she does it all. So take a look on Fridays or go and look up the archived Friday's Gardening for more great plant tips.

Yummy Crepes


Ingredients:
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/3 cups milk
2 Tbsp butter or margarine
1 cup flour
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
Mix all ingredients together until lumps are out. Tip: mix wet ingredients first and slowly add dry. This works especially well in a kitchen aid! Pour onto hot skillet or crepe pan with a ladle sized scoop. Tilt the pan around until the batter is evenly applied as lightly as possible. Cook about 2 minutes on each side.
Serve with fresh fruit, ice cream, peanut butter, nutella, syrup, or anything else that sounds good. My favorite has nutella and peanut butter with cool whip. Yummy!

Tip of the Week- Cleaning Velcro!

If you ever have velcro that gets a bunch of fuzz stuck in it, try washing it in warm soapy water with a hard bristled tooth brush. It will reach into all those crevices to get the thing clean as new!
