Household Helper: Freeze chopped green onions in plastic drink bottles

Found this idea on Pinterest a while back, and just love this idea!

"...When freezing chopped green onions, put them into an old water bottle that you’ve washed, and use a permanent marker to label the bottle cap with the contents. Freeze. To use, simply remove the cap, shake out just as much as you need, replace the cap and return to the freezer. The clear bottle allows you to quickly see what’s inside, and shaking things out of a bottle is faster than spooning them out of a freezer container..."

"Remember that moisture is your enemy in freezing, so be sure to dry the green onions thoroughly before chopping to prevent freezer burn. I used a large funnel to get the chopped scallions into the bottle, but you could also cut another plastic bottle in half around the middle and turn it over on top of the larger bottle, creating a do-it-yourself funnel. Green onions do become a bit soft in freezing, so they’re best used in cooked dishes as opposed to salads. Use within three weeks of freezing for best quality."

Doesn't this just save a whole lot of hassle and time!?

Awesome Helper :)

Blueberry Banana Bread [Tried & True-ly Yummy]

Made this a couple weeks ago! Was originally planning to make this for my husband for Valentines Day, But he ended up having a very exciting 'event' (I will call it) occur the week before. So...I made it early and gave it to him when he got home...with the same printable Valentine I was planning on (You are a 'Stud Muffin').

Anyway...Turned out wonderful and moist!. Love the kick of the tart/ripe flavor of the blueberries :)
Tastes best after fully cooled.

BLUEBERRY BANANA BREAD

• YIELD: 1 loaf

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups flour
• 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1 cup cup sugar
• 3 Tbsp. oil vegetable, or canola
• 2 large ripe bananas mashed
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 1/3 cups blueberrires fresh

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, vegetable oil, egg, vanilla and mashed bananas until smooth. Add in flour mixture and stir until just combined and no streaks of flour remain. Fold in blueberries with a spoon or spatula, then pour batter into prepared pan.
4. Bake for about 55-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached.
5. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Fresh Spinach Tomato and Garlic Tortellini Soup [Tried & True-ly Yummy]

So I made this a few weeks ago...and it was super refreshing and delicious!  Very easy to  make! If you know me by now, I wouldn't have tried it if it was too complicated. Not EVERY meal can be done in the crock pot ha ha ;)

Just FYI--When I make this again I will most likely be adding some of the following 

to this already YUM pot of soup:

Mushrooms

Corn (sweet or reg.)

Carrots

Green Cabbage

Green Peas

Browned Turkey Sausage (for the meat lovers)

AND Just so you know, I never post any recipe that I didn't absolutely love myself, or that my family didn't love... I did eat all the left overs of this...ha ha (I would say it tastes really good, if not better the next day(s) as it soaks in all the ingredients for longer!)  But, I am a lover of foods and more of any of the things listed above would just only make this soup even more wonderful!

 (adding in some more vitamins & nutrients, also ;)--so why not!?

**As usual, I substituted any onion or garlic for the powder or flake form...and used frozen spinach that worked just fine! (just remember that if you are using two non-fresh forms of the onion and garlic to not saute in the oil...just stir in quickly and add the broth right away to avoid burning the garlic powder and/or onion flake)

* Suggestion: Generous Parmesan Cheese on top!

Fresh Spinach Tomato and Garlic Tortellini Soup

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Yield: About 6 servings

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 lb Roma tomatoes (about 9 medium)
• 1 1/2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 yellow onion finely chopped (1 1/2 cups)
• 6 cloves garlic, minced (more or less to taste)
• 2 quarts (8 cups) low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 cups water
• 1 (20 oz) package refrigerated three cheese tortellini
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 tsp granulated sugar
• 6 - 9 oz fresh spinach, chopped
• 3 Tbsp chopped fresh basil
• 1/2 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese, for serving

Directions

• Heat a pot of water to a boil and fill a medium mixing bowl with ice water. Once water in pot boils, carefully drop tomatoes into water and boil until skins burst, about 3 - 4 minutes (if a few of them are having trouble bursting, you can remove them from the water and cut an "X" in the bottom of the tomato then return to water for about another minute until skins slightly pull away). Remove from boiling water and transfer to ice bath, cool slightly then peel, seed and dice into bite size pieces, set aside.
• In a pot, heat olive oil over medium heat, add onion and saute until tender, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and saute 30 seconds longer. Pour in chicken broth and water, then increase temp to moderately high heat and bring to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, add tortellini, season with salt and pepper to tastes and boil 7 minutes (or longer if directed on tortellini package).
• Stir in sugar, tomatoes, spinach and basil and cook until heated through and spinach wilts. Serve warm topped with Parmesan cheese.
• *If it's winter and you're having a hard time finding good Roma tomatoes, you could sub 2 cans regular/petite diced tomatoes, but during the summer when tomatoes are in their prime I highly highly recommend fresh. They make such a difference.

Keep Calm & Hop On Free Easter Printable! (8x10...)

Keep Calm & Hop on Free Printable! (8x10)

If you think so too, Print one for yourself!

St. Patty's Day Scavenger Hunt (Free Printable!)

St. Patty's Day Scavenger Hunt!

After having my thoughts overflowing for this activity...I remembered the lucky charms cereal! ;) AND wanted to see if I could find the specifics of the charms and meanings. 

Here is the neat chart I came across, and incorporated into the scavenger hunt.

My Finished product!

What do ya think?!

--Some examples of what to look for on the list--

Irish River dancing: Water--Puddle, sprinkler, pool/hot tub, cup of water, bath tub with water, rain, etc.  Music-- cd or case, radio/cd player, ipod, hearing music, making your own music, actual music note on an object, etc.

Power to Fly:--Something that flies: Bird, plane, bug, Frisbee...

Power of Invisibility:--Something Clear-- A cup, glass or plastic on the ground, window (car or house one), glasses (lens)

Power of Speed:--Something fast-- A car, Bunny, dog or other fast animal,train, etc.

LEPRECHAUN FOOT PRINTS, HAT, RAINBOW, LEPRECHAUN HIMSELF, AND POT OF GOLD SHOULD BE PRINTED OUT FOR THIS HUNT. Either make a craft of those things OR cut & color (DAY BEFORE ST PATTY'S DAY) and then you (the parent/adult) hide them around the house or outside as a part of this activity for st. Patty's day.. 

The idea for this hunt is that the LAST 4 things to find on this list are more for KEEPS! So the leprechaun hat could be wearable (child can make the craft the day before), the rainbow will be a colored rainbow cut out attached to some skittles (or other rainbow colored candy), the leprechaun is a play figuring (child can make the craft day before), and the gold will have the colored pot of gold attached to some chocolate gold coins ;) ( child can color the day before). You can choose whether you want to cut out and color the shamrock to do the same thing, or just find something green.

Scroll down for the prints...

So I got the idea for this fun printable because...long story short...As I just recently mentioned in my last Free Valentine Printable's post...I stash things away! To use at a later date (from hand-me- downs, to fast food toys, etc)

 This printable is inspired by the Wendy's toy I hid from my kids back in December! ;) (From the Night at the museum toys collection)

I love that this is an activity based valentine. Adds a bit of adventure to the day ;)

Any youngsters you know who 
would LOVE this on Valentine's Day?!

Free 'Valentine Printable's! (3x5 & 4x6)

So here are some Adorable & inexpensive Valentine Ideas! 

Thought of these fun ideas when looking through my stash of kid stuff (fast food toys, free things, hand me downs, etc.) that I save for Different 'Goody Basket'-Holidays, such as, Valentines Day & Easter (in our home).

And pair those toys with some sweet FREE Printable Valentines and how can you go wrong!???

Both Prints are also, what I would consider being, unisex :D YAY! So whether it be for a boy or a girl, you can make it work (for the cars...just pick a pink purple or red one and you'd be safe).

Click here for your own Free Valentine, you are a Star! Printable

All Prints are good for printing in either 3x5 (wallet size) or 4x6 size :)

I like to print my things at Costco, but at home works just as good ;)

(only .74 for these 2 sheets of 4 wallets!)

What I love about these prints is that you can really pair these with anything Star or Car Related...

Not sure exactly what I mean? 

Here are some Examples: Cupcakes/whole cake (themed or shaped like a star or car), candy (starburst), toy, activity, a balloon.

What I had was a dollar bin Glow in the dark Plastic Stars. (Toys 'R Us--kids b-day 3$ off $3 or more coupon in the mail--so mine was actually free!) Ya know, the ones you stick on your bedroom wall and they glow in the dark. Thought this would be a great Valentine for my 3 year old, but hey, this really doesn't get 'too young' for a kid until maybe teenage years!

 So this Valentine can work for a wide age range ;)

*could easily just tape the back of the valentine to the package & write To: & From: on the plastic with a Sharpy :) Otherwise, write on the back of the valentine print with a marker.

But I chose to use some small cellophane bags to tie up with some curling ribbon.

Non Valentine Version!

This one I thought could be good for anytime child recognition!  

(teachers to students, or parents to children...etc.)

Parent Ideas: Parents could use as a 'Finally Potty Trained' Gift/Reward
OR For any goals that have been reached...such as...Did their chores without being asked for a whole week (or month! whichever...)

Teacher Ideas:
Student kindness, helpfulness, a school/program/Church accomplishment...whatever nice attribute's you are trying to encourage...or the finishing of a project.

And for the Car Valentine, you can easily get dollar tree, or dollar bin (target, toys R' Us....lots of places have them) Cars. Super inexpensive! I hat a couple packs of hot wheels stashed away that were on sale in a grocery store, but I had a gift card, so got those free also. But there are always sales on toys, so if you just watch you can get some steals on things and save them for times like these!

This one also works as 3x5 or a 4x6 print :)

Who will you be sharing one of these Valentine's with?   <3
