Easy lunch!

Jared is by far the pickiest eater on the planet, so I struggle with new recipes to fix him. He always said he hated Chinese food, until we I got take out for him and forced him to eat it, and wouldn't ya know... He loves it now! His favorite is crab rangoon... He can eat like 50 of them. They have lobster and cream cheese, and so I ran with it, and made my own (baked, not fried ones) Here's how!



What you will need:
1 package Won ton wraps
2 cups cream cheese
1 package imitation crab meat
1/2 cup I can't believe it's not butter

How to:
Preheat oven 300
Melt butter
Finely chop or use food processor to chop crab meat
Once chopped - add 2 cups cream cheese -Blend
Add melted butter to the edges of the won tons with basting brush
put 1 Tbs of crab and cream cheese mixture
Fold over (triangle) You can keep it this way and make sure it is pressed down well - or-
Once folded over in triangle bring in all 3 edges to the center and press down making an envelope like pouch (they are easier to eat in my opinion)
Baste with butter and stick in the oven for 10 min. flip. and bake another 10 min.

Home made bird feeders

My in-laws live on over 100 acres of land out in Jay, FL. We absolutely love it out there, and plan to one day *fingers crossed* build out there. Jared and I were discussing what to get his mother for Christmas, because she told us not to get her anything, but that doesn't mean we won't! We decided blueberry bushes, a painting from Gabby that she can hang up, and what else? Bird feeders! And I had a grand idea to look into how they make those lovely handing bird wreaths you pay about $25 for at Lowes. It was a success, and we actually gave them to her already since it was going to be cold this week, and these will melt in the heat. (Plus, they don't smell awesome, so getting them out of our christmas room was for the best)

What I used:
1 package of gelatin mix
A package of small bird seed feed
2 cups of water
bunt cake pan
and cake pan!

How I made them:
Boil 2 cups of water
Pour in 2 packets of gelatin mix
Let boil for about 10 min.
Let cool for 1 min.
Stir in bird seed
Dump into desired pan (put round object into the middle for a hole if not using a bunt pan)
Put in refrigeration over night.
Turn it upside down and give it a shake and you have got yourself a home made bird seed feeder!!

I cut up an old t shirt and tied it through the center so you can hang it on the tree outside!
