Project Name & Page Link: Kigurumi Unicorn and Axolotls
Brief Description: I made Halloween kigurumi costumes for my boys this year and wound up with one for myself by accident (it is a bit short but DS1 asked me to dress up for trick-or-treating). I bought the pattern, but did have to draft patterns for a few of the details.

Brief Description: My DS1 wasn’t feeling great last week, so we made school lessons lighter for a couple days. An easy project we did, that produced a tummy-comforting result, was make a loaf of bread.

Project Name & Page Link: Caramel Apple Cheesecake Vodka Shots
Brief Description: My DH’s aunt shared The Tipsy Bartender’s recipe for Fireball Whiskey Cheesecake Shots, but my DH isn’t a fan of cherries. So, I modified the recipe (heavily) and sort of made it to taste. This is roughly what I did:
Crust:
1/3 pkg graham crackers, crushed
4 tbsp butter, melted
2 tbsp brown sugar
Filling (cream together):
2 8-oz pkg cream cheese
1/2 cup caramel vodka
4 tbsp sugar
Topping (saute all ingredients, except vodka, until apples are tender and sugar is caramelized; stir in vodka):
3 large granny smith apples, peeled and diced
3 tbsp water
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp butter
1/4 cup caramel vodka
Spoon into cups, cover, and chill. Makes about 30 2-oz servings.
