Warm Gingerbread Spoon Cake...Crockpot

OHHHHHHHH MEEEE  OOOOHHHHH MYYYY!!!  YUMMAGE!!!!!  I "mimi modified" this....  I didn't use half and half or milk.  Instead I used the creamer you see pictured above.  I also doubled the recipe and used a crockpot liner for easier clean up.  I also left out the raisins...that's just like boogers to me....just sayin'.....  Below is link for recipe....

PAULA DEEN'S WALKAWAY SPAGHETTI BAKE

This was SO easy and SO good.  My kids LOVED it too.  I used 1lb of gound beef and 1lb of mild ground italian sausage.  ALMOST a whole box of angel hair pasta, 1 26oz can of Hunts Garlic & Herb pasta sauce.  I also added a 6 oz can of tomato sauce.  I added salt & pepper, 1 tbsp of brown sugar, 1 tsp mint, and 1 tsp of basil.  I added 1 cup of parmesan cheese to the mozzarella cheese for a mixture of cheeses. Other then these modifications....follow the recipe in this link.

Homemade Body Salt Scrub

This was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO AMAZINGLY simply my SILaw could do it....JK Erin!!!  Heeheehee!!!!  No seriously, it's just really, really simple and a great gift for someone on a tight budget!!!


Equal Parts Epson Salt
Equal Parts Oil (Canola, Veggie, Safflower, Flaxseed, etc...heard that Olive smells eventually)
Essential Oils
Optional Food Coloring


In the batch I made, I mixed 4 cups of epson salt with 4 cups of canola oil and I had anticipated adding 20 drops of this sandalwood oil, but the bottle was almost empty, so I just finished it off.  I actually think it's needs more, so I am going to buy another bottle.  I think with the essential oils, it will depend the scent you choose.  Once it sits, the salts will settle to the bottom, so you can mix it with your fingers before applying to your body.  I added a few drops of red food coloring to this and it turned out this coral/pinkish color.
