How to make a SIMPLE Eco-Friendly Washable Reusable Bowl Cover

When I was in high school, you would have thought my mom won the lottery when whomever it was came out with these plastic/elastic bowl covers.  I don't really think they intended for my mom to wash them out, hang them up to dry, and reuse them, but that's what she did. Now, my mom is the best seamstress I know.  Why she never made her own, I have no idea, but here's a very easy, short tutorial on how to make reusable bowl covers! (more…)

Microwave Pork Rinds? Seems odd.

There's something about this product that just seems wrong to me?  I used to eat pork rinds when I was a kid, but being able to microwave them seems a bit odd! I guess people microwave popcorn, and it's the same concept, but this just seems awkward to me.  I'm not sure why! Lowrey's Bacon Curls Microwave Pork Rinds Lowrey's Bacon Curls are available in Original and Hot & Spicy flavors. They’re not only delicious, they’re high in protein, and contain 60% less fat than fried pork rinds. Eat them right from the bag or with your favorite hot sauce,…

Have you had a hurricane induced baby? #hurricanebaby #hurricane #birth

I was checking out facebook this morning, and a friend posted a hurricane tracking link for a possible storm that may or may not land in or around Texas. Texas is no stranger to hurricanes, and when Andy and I sat down to figure out estimated due dates for Rosengurtle, we realized one thing - we may finally have a hurricane induced baby.
