Honey Bee's Butter Pecan Brownies

This is such a good recipe and super easy! It's similar to the Pumpkin Gooey Cake Paula Deen makes, but it's not pumpkin or seasonal, so it is good year round! Both are two of my favorite desserts!

One Butter Pecan Cake Mix
Two Sticks of Margarine
Two Eggs
One 8oz Pkg of Cream Cheese
One Box of Powdered Sugar
One Cup of Chopped Pecans

Stir together cake mix, one stick of margarine (melted), and one egg. Pat into a well-greased 13x9 pan. Cream together cream cheese, the other stick of margarine (melted), one egg, and the box of powdered sugar. Spread over cake mix and then sprinkle with pecans. Bake @ 350 degrees for 35 minutes. It won't look done, but it is.

Super Cool, Free Wall Art

How about creating a custom piece of art for someone and the only cost you would have would be the frame and possibly a mat? Free stuff!!! We love it! Leo Reynolds on Flickr Photostream has traveled the world and taken some pretty awesome pics and with just a few guidelines, you get to use them for free. I created one using PowerPoint. It's really simple. You can copy, paste and resize them how you like or even change the orientation to be landscape, etc. Here is the link to the blog where you can see the idea and also get to Leo Reynolds pics.

Wordle

Go to this site and create. It is so cool! I made one for all my kids. I suggested that my daughter, who is on a VERY tight budget, give it to her friends for Christmas. We put them in a pretty frame and even blinged a few of them out. The more words the better. I stayed on my computer all night making them. Have fun!!!

Southwest Corn and Walnut Dip

This recipe is from my cousin. It sounds a bit weird, but it is oh so good and very different!

Ingredients:

2-8 oz. packages of cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
1/8 cup fresh lime juice (the original recipe called for 1/4 cup, but I thought it was too tart and used less)
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt (depending on your taste)
Dash black pepper

Drained 8 1/2 oz. can corn
1 1/2 cups chopped Walnuts

Directions:

Beat all of the above ingredients on low until smooth. Stir in one 8 1/2 oz. can corn (drained) and 1 1/12 cups chopped walnuts.

It is better made the day before so all the flavors have a chance to blend. You can add more spices, lime juice, walnuts or corn to suit your taste.

Fruit Salad

This recipe is a bit juicy. It is good served over an angel food cake, a pound cake or even in seperate small plastic cups. But it is sooo good!

1 can peach pie filling
1 can drained mandarin oranges
1 can drained pineapple chunks
1 thawed, large container of frozen, sliced, sweetened strawberries
A large bunch of green grapes
2 or 3 chopped apples
2 or 3 chopped bananas

Of course you can add or change any fruit you like. Mix everything but the bananas and apples the night before. Mix those in right before serving. Enjoy!

Cute Thanksgiving Napkin Ring Idea

This is a unique idea for Thanksgiving napkins rings. Place photos of your guests on their napkin. I use to do this at Christmas on gifts. My nephews use to love it. I would go through my albums and scan in the pictures and put them on their gift instead of a name tag. Everyone got a kick out of looking at the old pictures.

Circle E Candles

Circle E (Bird of Paradise) candles are my favorite. They come in these great glass containers. I burn through several a year and came across a website (pittypatpaperie) that recycles the container! After the candle burns down just remover the metal wick holder, put it in the microwave to melt the wax and remove wax with a paper towel after it has melted. Use vinyls to decorate....so cute!!!

Candle Corsets

I would like to share my new Christmas project. I do have them for sell if anyone is interested. The 4 inch candles are $25 and the 3 inch candles (this is around) are $20. I also have a three wick candle that is $30 (it is also pictured above). They do come with the candles. I try to make pairs, but they don't have to be purchased in pairs. The corsets slide off so after the candle is burned, they can be placed on a new candle. These are one of a kind and hard to recreate, each one is unique. I can't do custom orders because the items to make them are a bit hard to find. I have to take what I can get. If you are interested, just email (hollubs@gmail.com) or call me (713-201-5416). You are also welcome to drop by and take a look anytime for those of you who are local. I have several people that have offered to take them to work to sell for me...thanks!!!!

I have to apologize for the pictures, I am not the best photographers.
