I made homemade Cheeze-Its

Today I found this recipe online

It's really easy, and seriously,

it tastes amazing.

It kinda has a pie crusty texture.

It makes about 70 1-inch crackers.

Also, I have grown a deep appreciation this year for normal kitchen gadgets

That I do not own at college. 

Ingredients:

1 1/2 C (6 oz) grated, Extra-Sharp Cheddar Cheese

4 Tbs. (1/2 stick) softened, Unsalted Butter

3/4 C Flour, plus a little for dusting

1/2 tsp Salt

1/2 Tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

1 Tbs Milk

parchment paper

Step 1:

Preheat oven to 350.

This is the part where if you are like me and don't have a food processor...

Put your cheese in a blender and blend it into itty bitty pieces.

(I had never used a Magic Bullet before, it was exciting. :P)

Step 2:

Mix everything together except for milk

It will look kinda crumby.

haha crumby... get it? jk

Step 3:

Add milk.

If you have a food processor, keep blending until it is a dough ball.

If you are like me and don't have one.

Mix it really really really well.

Then squash it into a dough ball. 

Step 4:

Roll dough onto a floured surface.

Have it about the size of an 8x10 rectangle.

About 1/8 inch thick.

I also don't own a rolling pin. But cups work.

Step 5:

Cut dough into about 1-inch squares with 

a pizza cutter, knife or any other sharp cutting tool.

Poke the center with a pointy object like a skewer.

Step 6:

Place crackers on Parchment Paper, on a baking sheet

With a little room in-between for growth.

Bake for 12-15 minutes.

Until the edges are golden.

Done! They taste like Cheeze-It's on steroids.

It's beautiful.

Also simple. Love you all!

Don't forget suggestions or comments.

Also, if you want super easy kinky hair, and your hair is dry.

Braid hair, spray with hairspray, and flatten with a straightener.

That's how my hair got kinky.

It's fun.

I made a Sweatshirt Scarf

So, I have this super huge sweater.

I accidentally got bleach on the sleeve,

it looks like boogers.

So I didn't like wearing it.

But now I will!

Perfect winter scarf. :)

What You Need:

1 Large Sweater

Scissors

Needle and Thread

Step 1:

Cut off the bottom, I cut if off right below the armpits.

Step 2:

Cut that piece into thirds,

leave about 1'' at the end so it doesn't separate

Step 3:

Scoot aside the outside thirds.

Take the inside 3rd and cut it into thirds.

Step 4:

Start braiding!

It will begin to braid the other side,

since it is in a loop.

So keep an eye and braid both ends at once.

Step 5:

When both braids meet in the middle grab the 

middle one, pull it down.

Take the outside ones, stick them together.

then sew those two outside ones together.

Done!!!

I clipped on a flower, and thought it looked cute.

It looks cute with and without.

Also, it is super duper warm.

Perfect for the Winter Season!
