The Bread Cone DIY

Ladies and Gents, I give you the bread cone. This rolled up carb loaded goodness is perfectly crafted with your Thanksgiving feast in mind. You can use it as a cornucopia of leftovers or as a creative way of shoveling food into your mouth.

You’ll need:

  • pre-made seamless pizza dough
  • around 10 cone shaped paper cups
  • aluminum foil
  • an egg
  • and a few pinches of salt

First, preheat your oven to 400°F. Then wrap each cone shaped cup in aluminum foil. Be sure every bit of it is covered (it’ll be going into the oven later).

Roll out the pizza dough and cut it into strips lengthwise. Then lightly grease a cookie sheet and the outside foil of each cup.

Carefully wrap the dough around the foil wrapped cups. Start at the pointy end and work your way down. Coat the dough in a light egg wash and sprinkle with a dash of salt.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Now you’re ready to chow down. Have fun!

DIY Pumpkin Pie Garland

This pumpkin pie garland is a great addition to your holiday festivities and it looks good enough to eat! You’ll need: air dry clay, paint, twine, a knife, and 10 or so metal hoops (you can find these in the jewelry section of your local craft store).

Step 1: Roll out a ball of clay. This will eventually be the base of your pie. Roll out two skinny pieces of clay. The larger one will be the pie crust and the smaller one will be the dollop of whipped cream.

Step 2: Flatten the ball of clay with the palm of your hand, the slice off two sides of the circle of clay to create a triangle with one rounded edge.

Step 3: With the tip of your finger or the blunt edge of a knife, waffle the top edge of the larger skinny piece of clay. Remember, this will be the pie crust. Attach it to the rounded end of the pumpkin pie base. It helps if you use a little water to adhere one surface to the other.

Step 4: Swirl the skinniest piece of clay into a circle to look like a dollop of whipped cream. Attach it to the top of the pumpkin pie base.

Step 5: Slide one of the metal hoops into the back side of the pumpkin pie. You’ll attach the garland string to it later on.

Step 6: After the clay has dried a little, paint the crust brown, paint the pumpkin part orange, and the dollop of whipped cream white.

Step 7: After the paint and clay have entirely dried, tie the garland string onto the hoop of each pumpkin pie you’ve created. Now you’re ready to give thanks in style!

DIY: A Plate of Thankfulness

Taking a moment with your family to be thankful together is the sweetest part of the holidays. Although pumpkin pie runs a close second. Make it even more fun for everyone this year by bringing the two together. With food coloring markers, you can write what you’re grateful for on your plate, and then enjoy the quality time and dessert, all at the same time. The food coloring is safe to eat and washes right off the plate. Now who’s ready for pie?!

Comfortable and sturdy are exactly what you need when you’re hard at work in the yard. This is my favorite fall chore outfit. Both the Carhartt Women’s Hamilton Flannel Shirt II and the Original-Fit Canvas Dungarees are constructed of soft, yet strong cotton with a hint of spandex, making it easy to move around without being constricted. The mid-rise cut of the Original-Fit Dungarees allow you bend over without a care. The contoured waistline prevents gapping in the back.
