Winter Road Trip Tips. By Keylowha  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/cars/advice/how-to-drive-safely-in-snow-and-ice/              I remember when I was little my family went on this road trip in the winter which wasn't uncommon for us. We were so young it is actually a little hard to remember the details but this year something different happened and I remember that. The car broke down and we were stuck in the middle of nowhere in the winter on the side of some dark highway in the middle of the night. I know scary right but don't worry my parents had a plan. I remember being stocked into warm blankets and a truck driver stopping to help us. Yes, folks traveling in the winter doesn't have to put you on the evening news. There are things you can do to stay safe and stay warm.  alka-pure.com Water- this is actually a no-brainer. On any road trip, it is important to carry water, even if you are only going three hours away from ho...

Mapping the Way from America to Canada. By Keylowha 10/12/2016 I am super excited. I just got my passport a few weeks ago and Shridhar and I got news that we get to go to Canada. We really like to travel and I have pretty much seen all of America, there are still a few states I need to go to. Besides America, I have also been to Mexico many times (you know back when people didn’t need a passport to go there). But Canada! Wow! How this happened was Shridhar actually just got a new job there so he is moving to Canada. Since he has a car that was actually manufactured in Canada, he can take his car with him instead of having to sell it and get a new one. This means we get to drive to Canada. I can’t believe it. We are super e xcited because not only do we get to go to Canada but we get to road trip there as well. So the trip will start in Saint Louis, Missouri and end in Vancouver, Canada. This will be our longest road trip going through four state...

Minion Banana Pie        Minions are interesting little creatures, aren't they. They love powerful things, they are extreme followers and they love bananas. Who doesn't love bananas? Well okay to be fair lots of people don't like bananas, but wait we don't have to use bananas to make minion pies. The health nut side of me is trying to claw its way out right but the kid in me remembers pudding cups and it pushing that crazy girl back down, way down deep inside of me. Oh, man snack packs how we loved you, your chocolaty goodness still fresh in our minds. Sometimes I use to mix chocolate and banana together :), (okay I still do that at the buffet. Anyways this no-bake recipe is really easy and comes in a cute little box. Here is what you need: Recipe 1 Box Minions Banana pudding mix Mini to sauce cups Butter Gram Crackers   Whipped Cream Milk You could use pre-made mini gram cracker cups but then ...

                            Graham Cracker Pie Crust  I am a big fan of the graham cracker pie crust. It's one of those things that no matter who makes it you know it will taste good. Someone go through all these steps to make this crust and even bake it, but to be honest you don't have to. Here's what you need. Recipe  1 1/2 cup Graham Cracker crumbs 6 Tablespoons Butter (melted or softened whichever you like better) 1/3 cup sugar  Pie pan or cups Making the graham cracker crumbs. Place your graham cracker in a blender and press grate, if you don't have a blender or aren't allowed to use one this just gets more fun because you can crush them really easy with your hands. S'mores graham crackers are easier to crush with your hands by the way.  Once your graham crackers look like sand you can place them to the side and soften or melt your butter. You can so...

Mini S'mores  No Bake Recipe  I am very excited today because I don't have an oven! This whole summer I haven't had an oven because I am staying with my friend. At first, this was a hard pill for me to swallow, I come from a long line of people who love to bake and cook. Not being able to make sweet treats every time a holiday rolls around, the weekend comes, we just want something sweet because the week has been hard, or a big Sunday dinner is hard. A while back I blogged about making mini chocolate covered pretzels and I got an idea! What are treats that can be made without an oven? Like if I was a kid or someone without an oven what could I really make, make good and make tasty. My mind exploded that day as I started to remember everything I have made in the past without an oven. So first up let's make S'mores. Remember when you weren't allowed near the fire, or near an oven or even a stove top at all. Oh, the dark days of only be...

The Mystery of “Bon Bon” Bon Bon appears a lot in the background of My Little Pony, she even has had a few speaking lines. Her blue and white cutie mark candies suggest she could be a candy maker; until one day they drop the bomb on us. Bon Bon is really Sweetie Drops a SPY!!! This actually makes a lot of sense because generation one Bon Bon was yellow with a purple mane and one bonbon candy for a cutie mark. Some people were saying that Sweetie Drops is a hybrid mix between gn1 Bon Bon and gn1 Gingerbread. Ok yeah, Gingerbread had a white mane and a pink, blue, and two colors of purple, and her cutie mark was a group of blue gingerbread men. She nodded to Gn1 Bon Bon's overall appearance and the blunt use of her name made us think she was the new Bon Bon.  I think she looks more Sweetie Belle from gen 3, and that it seems more likely that she would be a mix between Bon Bon and Sweetie Belle. She kind of has both their names and looks, because sh...

Mini Twisty Chocolate Covered Pretzels  I am really enjoying this Twisty Hollow game and with the introduction to the boiling kettle I thought, “Well now the party is really getting started.” One of the best little treats to have at any party, or just to have around in general is chocolate covered pretzels. Most of the time people make these with straight pretzel sticks, but they are also really good with honey twist pretzels. Which just so happens to be what I have a bag of in my house right now! Here’s what you will need. What you need Honey pretzel twist Wilton’s chocolate candy melts Party ball sprinkles Mini candy bags String First get everything ready, open the bag of pretzels, and pour the sprinkles into a bowl. This will help you dip the pretzels into the chocolate before it starts to get hard again. Melting the chocolate This is easy, melt the chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds stopping every 30 seconds to stir the chocolate un...
