I enjoy traditional sweet oatmeal with cinnamon and honey, but this morning I was craving something a little different. I approached <span style="background-color: transparent;">breakfast with half a plan and the rest came together quite nicely. Here is a recipe for savory oatmeal that will give your morning a real boost. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">This summer has been very strange, we didn't have a week of 112 degree temperature, which is quite normal in phoenix and it has been raining. Of course that just means its rained more than twice this summer and the downpours have been pretty significant. A few weeks ago we received more rain in one day than the area had received all year. I am loving it! Rain means cooler temperatures and a break from the desert dry air. The drawback, Phoenix is not equipped to handle rain. The slightest amount of moisture throws this city into a panic. Drivers have no idea how to navigate raindrops and the streets flood almost immediately. Today it came down in buckets and of course I had a near empty cupboard. Rather than venture out into the storm that knocked over all of my outdoor potted plants, I decided to make something out of the mixed-match ingredients I had on hand. I had been craving potato chips but I am not a fan of frying anything. While scouring the cupboards for hope, I came across a huge bag of flax seed I inherited when my cousin gave up her last dieting fad. I knew what I was making: crackers. I could avoid a frying fiasco and still get the savory crunch I was after. Below is a very simple recipe for flax seed crackers I used for a rainy day. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">These crackers just so happen to be <u>grain free</u> and <u>vegan</u>. </span><br />

<li><span style="font-size: large;">1/2 tsp black pepper</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">1/2 tsp salt ( optional) ( I used pink himalayan pink salt here)</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<br />

<li><span style="font-size: large;">In a food processor combine all of the dry ingredients and pulse until the sunflower seeds are coarsely ground. about 30-45 seconds.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Turn out dry ingredients into a large bowl and add water. Stir the mixture until a loose grain dough is form. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Spoon the mixture onto the lined baking sheet and spread the cracker dough evenly in the pan. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Using a butter knife. score the crackers in the size and shape you'd like your crackers to be.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Put the baking sheet in the oven and let the crackers bake for 30 minutes. then turn your oven off and let the crackers remain in the oven for another 30 minutes to dry out a bit more. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Pull the crackers out of the oven and let cool to room temperature before breaking along the score lines.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Enjoy with your favorite cracker toppings or alone. </span></li>

<span style="font-weight: normal; text-align: left;">I was so excited to move into my new office. It is a huge step towards world domination furthering my business goals. I found a great building with a great staff. I decide to forgo the window and save $150 extra a month. No window meant that I had to get creative with the white walls. My office is on the small side so I decided to go with big impact decor that would not overwhelm the place. I scoured decorated website looking for a way to do this. I knew that I did not want to paint. I love the impact changing a wall color can make, but lets face it, painting is a time suck. I had to get settled</span><span style="font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"> in. move legal files, do a marketing blitz and be ready to attend to clients. Painting was just out of the question. while browsing the interwebs I came across this...</span></h3>

That wall was painted grey years prior and the homeowners decided it was time for something new. They used white duct tape to create the diamond shapes and created a unique backdrop for there bedroom. I was blown away, here was the wonderfulness I wanted and I didn't have to paint anything. While I loved the diamonds the homeowner remarked at how labor intensive measuring and lining up the tape just so was, that I decided simple was best. I envisioned pared down horizontal lines in black. </div>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">Starting at the ceiling, measure the distance you want your lines to be. I choose ten inches. I planned to hang my diplomas and certificates in this wall and wanted to make sure that the frames would overlap the lines. But experiment ans see what works for you<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc3RXTV_DE6BNBbbeZAVE-VD_Rob-LCfio1zyin4qzhX5gC1d6gqFFcistdy_kAhv3FvLWi_HxJo07-E4S6gHDIE1nc34We6NRGKW5qqiEwfFTS9Nd7NPzdr9rvhAbScgw0DbbumNJKFc/s1600/IMG_0966.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc3RXTV_DE6BNBbbeZAVE-VD_Rob-LCfio1zyin4qzhX5gC1d6gqFFcistdy_kAhv3FvLWi_HxJo07-E4S6gHDIE1nc34We6NRGKW5qqiEwfFTS9Nd7NPzdr9rvhAbScgw0DbbumNJKFc/s1600/IMG_0966.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></span></h3>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">I used plain black duck tape.

<span style="font-weight: normal;">I started taping in the middle to see if I liked the spacing before I got to deep into the project.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfTEGaNeG7uoyJYG3rEqJf7umcwlul91OcmRAmn1eXeGoUr4PhlvBlXPn7sWO1lGAMv-3N-Fl4mAhbrYncJu8Mnf-et2-K_KM2gExIo8RkAqCrW7SmiHYYbdC7Onk2-hfJdrpfVECZMVE/s1600/IMG_0969.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfTEGaNeG7uoyJYG3rEqJf7umcwlul91OcmRAmn1eXeGoUr4PhlvBlXPn7sWO1lGAMv-3N-Fl4mAhbrYncJu8Mnf-et2-K_KM2gExIo8RkAqCrW7SmiHYYbdC7Onk2-hfJdrpfVECZMVE/s1600/IMG_0969.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></span></h3>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></h3>
<h3 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Start at the edge of the wall and pull the tape taunt. Be sure to line the top of the tape up with the marks you have made. You can always lift the tape and reposition it if it goes wayward.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTnh-vb0NCQvUFJLzpv8fokOD8jGcCgsUbfflc_uZfdRXeR3deCCP6SijTjZNQlQnbW4ipCWWLGDsgZVhls5tM5RL5AJawTzhs9zmOt0rZqxGsaSWjGxJMh9F3Uz7gPzCYFeNjtIJzW1w/s1600/IMG_0970.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTnh-vb0NCQvUFJLzpv8fokOD8jGcCgsUbfflc_uZfdRXeR3deCCP6SijTjZNQlQnbW4ipCWWLGDsgZVhls5tM5RL5AJawTzhs9zmOt0rZqxGsaSWjGxJMh9F3Uz7gPzCYFeNjtIJzW1w/s1600/IMG_0970.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a><br /></span></h3>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></h3>
<h3 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">At the edge of the wall or where you want the tape to stop, use your box cutter or craft knife to cut the unwanted tape off.<br />( I used sharp scissors because I lost my box cutter, it definitely would have been easier with a box cutter. </span></h3>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">I love Anthropologie, but it is one of those stores that will sell you a <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/home-wallpaper/26588657.jsp#/" target="_blank">walrus head made out of craft paper for $1,250. </a> Often there are times I find items that make me say aloud " I can make that for waaaayyy cheaper!" This tutorial is the product of one of those times. While purusing Anthorpologie.com I came across a series of wire sculptures. They were the perfect mix of whimsy and crafty goodness that I really go for. My issue was they were $48.00 each and reviewers noted they were on the small side and kinda flimsy. I get it, you can't please everyone, but you can DIY sturdier version, and bigger if you have enough wire hangers on hand. The possibilities on this hanger hack are endless. Another plus, is it would use up some of those pesky wire hangers from the dry cleaners that I refuse to use and hate to throw out. </span></h3>

Notes: These were really tough to bend so be patient, or buy a soft gauge wire from a craft store. It will be a lot easier to bend, but will be a lot more fragile</div>

- My letters are not perfect, as you can see, but I thought they looked crafty and cool for my space. If you want more refined letters, opt for the softer gauge wire. </div>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">As far as makeup is concerned, there is rarely nothing worse than dropping your favorite eyeshadow and watching it disintegrate into a powdery mess of color. You know from that moment that your makeup bag will carry a light dusting of Disco Gold and your fingers will be gilded every time to reach for the shadow. Fear not there is a way to fix it. And its actually pretty easy. </span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: normal;">Here's What You Gotta Have</span></h3>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">Just because I don't like to eat meat doesn't mean I can't appreciate a great meat based dish. After all, rarely is it the meat that makes a dish smell and look amazing. It's the spices, marinades and rubs that make the dish truly special. So I am not afraid to admit that this dish was inspired by an amazing looking meat dish I came across on Pinterest. The Pin lead me to The Recipe Diaries which featured <a href="http://www.recipe-diaries.com/2014/05/28/baked-sriracha-honey-wings/" target="_blank">Baked Sriracha Honey Wings</a>. The ingredients list was full of the stuff dreams are made of. Well, it did have sriracha and lime, and that is what my dreams are made of. I said aloud, "I'm gonna make that with tofu". And I did. And it was amazing!<br />For the first time in 5 years I actually purchased real butter for another recipe. I have tons of it left over so it seemed like a great time to make use of it. Veganize this dish by simply using a non-dairy butter substitute.<br />I also used a great product to flavor the tofu called Not Chick'n. It is a chicken-esque flavored bouillon cube that it perfect for flavoring soups, broths, and tofu. It's completely vegan and adds a great complex flavor to dishes. I found mine at the local Frye's in the natural foods section, but it can be ordered online <a href="http://www.edwardandsons.com/es_shop_bouillon.itml" target="_blank">here. </a></span></h3>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Costume jewelry is a fun and inexpensive way to add some jazz to any outfit. However custome jeewlry is ususally made of plated metals and will fade. I got tired of watching my favorite pieces fade to an undesirable shade of blah, so I started protecting my tiny investments with a clear coat of Modge Podge. Check out the instructions below.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here's What You Gotta Have:</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">A wire hanger</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Tape ( Pictured here is painters tape, but I'd Imagine any tape will do)</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Pliers</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Clear acrylic sealer or clear spray paint </span></li>
</ul>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">Nothing says I love you like homemade sweet treats, except maybe a diamond ring, and a new pair of shoes. So when my super amazing and supportive cousin was feeling down, I knew it was time to fire up the burners for some good old fashion love in a pot. I don't like chocolate myself, but these were not for me and I know that my sugar toothed relative would appreciate the sacrifice involved in whipping up these fudge bites ( I don't even like the smell of chocolate really). I have lovingly nicknamed these bars my Obama Bars, they remind me of Michelle and Barack side by side looking like the sweetest bits of classic Americana.</span></h3>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">I wanted to make my cousin some "Obama Fudge" but was missing only one ingredient: confectioners sugar. One quick google search and boom...DIY confectioner's sugar. Who knew it was this easy...oh apparently the <a href="http://www.food.com/recipe/homemade-powdered-sugar-88812?scaleto=2&mode=null&st=true" target="_blank">whole dang internet!</a><br /><br />Here's What you Need:</span><ul>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal;">1 cup sugar </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal;">1 tablespoon Cornstarch</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal;">A blender</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /><br />Here's What you Gotta Do:</span><ol>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal;">Blend the cornstarch and sugar for 2 minutes, stopping the blender to stir the sugar every 30 seconds or so. </span></li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal;">Stop when the sugar is powdery and not grainy to the touch. If more blending is needed pulse an additional 30 seconds and check the texture. </span></li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal;">Let the sugar dust settle in the blender before opening. Store in a dry container or plastic bag.</span></li>
</ol>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">Okay so its been a long while since I wrote a post. I can assure you it has not been because life has not been absolutely chock full of deliciousness. In fact I think its been so chock full I've been busy eating it up. A lot has happened so let me fill you in.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">On May 9th I found out that I passed the Arizona bar. Wohoooo! All that hard work and forfeiture of fun was not in vain. Then, as is the next logical step, I decided to start my own law firm. Yep, </span><a href="http://www.keovonnewilsonlegal.com/" target="_blank">Keo'vonne Wilson Legal, PLLC</a><span style="font-weight: normal;"> is officially a thing now. I hosted a launch party which just so happened to coincide with my birthday. Yep, I had a birthday and threw myself a party. It was wonderful! I also built a website, created business cards and marketing merchandise ( magnets, t-shirts, social media accounts). I am so proud of my little start up.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">I also got a very awesome video from my sister and bro-in-law back home. <a href="http://theurbanvegetable.blogspot.com/2013/09/i-am-thankful.html" target="_blank">KJ, my nephew</a>, is crawling! I am so excited. It has been an amazing journey watching him grow up. I am so thankful for social media and technology because I don't have to miss a moment.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />With a new business, interesting clients, networking, blogging for the firm, cooking, attempting to push the limits of professional wear, it has been the most delightful whirlwind!</span></h3>
<h3>

I think Chili may be my second favorite comfort food, behind pizza. And like pizza it can be as simple or as complicated as you want to make it. For a lazy Friday night, I went for super simple. This recipe avoids chopping anything, uses one pot, and involves spices you likely already have in your pantry.<br />
This recipe was officially meat eater approved. Enjoy!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">I am the
sweaty lady at the gym. Whether I'm strength training or tying my shoes, I can
usually be found covered in a fine mist of newly made sweat. So it was no
surprise that my yoga mat smelled of gym socks after a few sessions of Bikram
Yoga. In the past, I’ve just washed my mat in the bathtub with Dr. Bronner's
Peppermint Castile Soap. My mat would be squeaky clean but it would take about
three days to air-dry. In search of a more efficient way to clean my yoga
mat, I took to the interwebs. I came across some "natural"
commercially produced brands. They had ingredients I couldn't
pronounce and a price tag I couldn't justify. I found tons of
homemade recipes, but a number of them
featured vinegar as an ingredient. After my experience
using vinegar as an all-purpose cleaner, I knew I could not and would not deal
with the smell of vinegar while in Half Tortoise pose. This recipe is a
pared down version of several homemade recipes and uses Witch Hazel instead of
vinegar. </span><b><o:p></o:p></b></div>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">It's family game night at my cousin's house and I am so excited. Sloppy Joes and sweet potato fries are on the menu. I am byov- ing ("Bring Your Own Vegetarian") this event. Here is my version of sloppy joes for tonight's festivities. I've broke with tradition and left out the tomato paste. I'm not a fan of the stuff when it has a prominent flavor, reminds me too much of ketchup.</span></h3>
<br />
<br />
<h4>
Here's What You Need:</h4>
<br />
<ul>
<li>1 1/2 cup dehydrated beef crumbles</li>
<li>2 cups warm vegetable broth (salted)</li>
<li>2 tsp onion powder</li>
<li>2 tsp finely minced garlic</li>
<li>1 tsp vegetable oil</li>
<li>2 tsp cumin</li>
<li>1 cup sliced green and red bell peppers</li>
<li>2 1/2 tbsp agave nectar</li>
<li>1/4 tsp cayenne pepper</li>
<li>1/4 tsp liquid smoke.</li>
<li>1 14 oz can of diced roasted tomatoes</li>
<li>12 slices of toasted bread or buns ( 2 per sandwich)</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h4>
Here's What You Gotta Do:</h4>
<br />
<ol>
<li>In a medium bowl combine the crumbles, broth, onion powder and garlic. Let sit for 15 minutes or until the crumbles are fully rehydrated.</li>
<li>Add oil to a large sauce pan and heat to medium. Add cumin and heat for 30 seconds before adding the bell peppers. Cook until bell peppers are soft.</li>
<li>Add the beef crumbles ( broth and all) to the pan Let simmer until all of hte liquid evaporates, about 15 to 20 minutes.</li>
<li>When there is very little liquid left in the pan, add all of the remaining ingredients. Let simmer for an additional 10 or until most of tomato liquid is thickened.</li>
<li>Spoon out a portion of the sloppy Joe mix onto the toasts or buns and Enjoy!</li>
</ol>
Makes 6 sloppy Joes more or less*<br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;">One of the first things I noticed when I walked into my sister's new home was the chandelier that is the topic of this post. It was a classic piece, grand, detailed and oozing with potential. My sister saw it as dusty, old fashioned and trash worthy. Like I said before, the amount of trust my sister put in my offbeat vision was awesome! We hashed out a plan to give the dingy chandelier a new life. I was inspired by a recent trip to New Orleans. That city has got a good handle on bringing modern sensibilities to traditional pieces. Cafes and shops were filled with vintage pieces that were traditionally crafted and ornately carved but covered with a modern print fabric or a coat of paint in an unexpected color. There was a marked nod to the classics and an ushering in of "fresh". We would bring in a little but N'awlins by updating the chandelier with a coat of glossy black paint. Pairing the classic profile with a unexpected color saved the chandelier from the trash heap. </span></h3>

Her husband insisted on a dark room, preferable grey. I saw no reason the two couldn't get exactly what they wanted. But first we had to get some furniture. Their previous apartment was chock full of modern and hip furniture, so we had to start from scratch. Sis found this cool wooden furniture for super cheap and the plan was to paint it chalk white then go over it with black wax for a distressed look. I began, in earnest, to cover the head board with the white paint. After a few dry brush strokes, I stepped back and thought,"that looks really cool". I dry brushed the rest of the headboard and sent a photo to my sister. She loved it. Dry brushing would take a third of the time to do all the bedroom furniture; sold!<br />

Below are the "Before" pictures: I totally forgot to take the pictures before I began painting but remembered before I painted all of them .</div>

Painting furniture can compete change the look of a piece of furniture. Take a chance on pieces that have great details but may not be in the best shape. You can always nail, glue and sand a piece into working order. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I am so excited to share part two of the trash-to-treasure buffet revamp. In a previous post, I wrote about a discarded buffet my sister and I picked up after a neighbor left it out for trash . The top part became a dry bar for the formal dining area in my sister's new home. (See the awesome <span style="color: #666666;"><a href="http://theurbanvegetable.blogspot.com/2014/04/going-home-diy-buffet-turned-dry-bar.html" target="_blank">Dry Bar</a></span>) The bottom half became a lovely accent table for the formal living room.<br />

First I began by sanding all of the pieces. I used a light sand on the buffet because the top portion is made of pressed particle board. Sanding allows the paint to adhere better to the painted surface.<br />
Ignore the ashy legs and paint in hair.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
I am enjoying the sunshine and breeze of my sub tropical home in between painting walls, sanding furniture and harassing the carpenters. on the day my sister and Brother in law sign the documents for their new home, we passed a discarded wood laminate buffet. We talked my brother-law into turning around so we could access the situation. The piece was in two pieces and pretty banged up, but there was potential there. It had great detail and hardware. My sister took it as a good sign. The first piece of furniture acquired for there new home was free.<br /> As we loaded the buffet onto the truck, the homeowners came outside to help us load it onto the truck. My brother in law remained skeptical of our booty but once we got it home and came up with a plan, he gave us the thumbs up. He even came up with the color we would paint the piece that would be repurposed into dry bar for the formal dining area: matte black. </div>

<i><span style="text-align: left;"> The dry bar was made out of the top half of the buffet. </span>Since the top of of the original buffet was rough and uneven, we decided to flip the buffet over. The flat surface on the bottom part was better suited for the purpose of serving up drinks and housing decorative items. Since the bar is technically up-side-down, I flipped the handle after painting. </i></div>

I boarded a plane in Arizona to visit my family in Miami, Florida. I arrived just in time to celebrate my little brother's 21st Birthday. Two days after our night of club hopping on South Beach, I accompanied my sister and her husband to an attorney's office to sign the paper work to close on their first home. My younger siblings are such amazing people. Being able to watch them grow and prosper is such a blessing. I could not be any prouder.<br />
<div>
Part of the reason I am in Miami is to help my sister and her hubby get settled into their home and to oversee the interior design and decoration. Yay!!! My sister's confidence in my vision for her home is so reassuring. We bounce idea off each other; and with my mom's technical input and brother in-law's taste preferences, we are working to turn their home into a unique and welcoming place. </div>
<div>
First let's talk "The Before". The house was painted a very safe blend of pastels, so of course the paint was the first thing we had to change. Below is our color palette. The yellow is for the kitchen, the coral color is for the formal dining area, the turquoise is for an accent wall in the formal living room, dark blue for the den, and dark grey for the master bed room. I forgot to snap the before picks until after we began painting, but the pictures give a good idea of what was going on.<br />

The accent wall in the formal living room was the same color grey as the adjacent wall. We had originally planned to paint the whole wall including the creases in between the bricks, but after a coat with the roller I fell in love the fresh look of outlined brick. We plan to go back in to outline the areas that we painted the creases with white. </div>

I decided to make this warm smokey dish in honor of the holiday. Brussel Sprouts aren't particularly Irish, but they are green. I mean I'm not particularly Irish either, but I did spend an afternoon in an airport in Ireland...close enough. <span style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">Sláinte</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h4>
Here's What You Need: </h4>
<br />
<ul>
<li>1/2 sliced yellow onion</li>
<li>1/4 cup balsamin vinegar</li>
<li>2 tablespoons maple syrup</li>
<li> 2 good dashes of liquid smoke</li>
<li>2 1/2 cups sliced brussel spouts</li>
<li>1/8 teaspoon salt </li>
<li>1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h4>
Here's What You Gotta Do: </h4>
<br />
<ol>
<li>Heat a very lightly oiled non-stick pot with a lid, over a low heat. </li>
<li>Add onions to the pot and heat until onions are soft and brown ( about 5 minutes). </li>
<li>Add balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, and liquid smoke to the pot and let the sauce reduce over a low heat for about 10 minutes.</li>
<li>Toss in the brussel sprouts, cayenne and salt. Turn off the heat and stir well to coat the brussel sprouts with dressing. Put the lid on the pot and let the salad soften and stem for 5 minutes. </li>
<li>Serve Warm and Enjoy!</li>
</ol>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>Serves 2 as a salad and 4 as a small side dish.</i><br />

I celebrated my first St. Patricks Day as an adult in South Korea four years ago. I wore green, drank my first "Irish Car Bomb" and spent the evening enjoying whiskey and darts with my fellow expats. I've celebrated the holiday ever year since. Last year, in New Orleans, we celebrated with the locals for three days straight. I have a feeling that the folks in New Orleans have extended celebrations for every holiday, but that's just a guess. This year, I'm getting a jump on some work so that I can revel in the celebration without guilt, hence the homicide chart in the back ground. I like to call this manicure "Luck of the Irish"... or if I try it again after the holiday "M is for Murder". </div>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">Turban wearing is not for the faint of heart, but gosh they are a fabulous fashion accessory. Turbans have been around for thousands of years. Traditionally worn by men to signify a religious sect or social status, turbans began to show up on western trendsetters in the 70's. Turbans are a great "Anytime" accessory. They can be paired with a casual tunic and jeans in the spring, big sunglasses and a swimsuit in the summer, fall coats and boots, and faux fur in the winter; you simply cant go wrong with a turban. This timeless piece really adds a big impact to any outfit and hides dye jobs gone awry, impeccably!</span></h3>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">I survived the Arizona Bar. I won't get my score until May so the next few months will be spent looking on the bright side. It was grueling marathon toward this moment and now its over. I have so much free time and I have quite a few ideas on what to do with it. First project: make some use out of my graduation cords. Up until today, they hung in my coat closet full of promise but virtually useless. That was until I stumbled across this gem on Anthropologies's website.</span></h3>

<h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />I really like the bohemian vibe of the cord and tassel look but I couldn't help but wonder if there was a <strike>cheaper </strike>better way to get that aesthetic. Cue graduation cords! They could finally be dusted off and repurposed. You could easily do this project with curtain tie backs. They are available at any local home-wares store that sales window treatments. I found some on ebay for less than $5 apiece.<br />Mine cost me $0 dollars if you don't count the $100K+ spent on law school in order to get my honors cords. But that is neither here nor there. </span></h3>
<h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You'll need one cord with tassels and about 2 minutes of your time. </h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Here's what you gotta do:</span> </h3>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">1. First drape the cord on your neck with the tassels hang in the back.</span></h3>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">2. Then bring the tassles across your back to the front of you. so you will have one full look around your neck with the tassels hanging in the front. Make sure the tassels are hanging evenly. </span></h3>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">I needed a creative moment in-between studying Corporations law and Commercial Paper. I came across these pretty images of bunting while Pinning. The use of triangles keep the bunting looking modern, while the use of burlap, jute and a natural color scheme adds a touch of rustic charm.</span></h3>

<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">It was very easy to be inspired, however I did not have any burlap, nor $40 for a custom bunting. But I did have brown paper shopping bags from my last visit to Trader Joe's and everything else in my "Bag-O- Craftiness". My custom Valentine's Day bunting cost me exactly $0 to make. I think I'm in love with this project. </span></h3>

Here's What you gotta Do:</h4>

<h4>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">1) Cut the bags in half down the sides. Trim off side paper until you only have two large flat sheets of brown paper from each bag.</span></h4>

<h4>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />2) USe a pencil and measuring tape to mark and measure triangles that are roughly 8" on the broad side. These does not have to be perfect and I think looks better if it isn't.<br /><br /><br />3) Cut out triangle shapes. I cut one triangle per letter in the word I wanted to spell out. (This is not a hard rule, if you want to put a whole word sentence, phrase or shape in one triangle, do it) Here is where you would cut out any other shapes as well. </span></h4>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">My family is </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-weight: normal; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span jstcache="363" style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 22px;">2,347 miles away for most holidays, but they are always right here when I need them. We make use of pretty much every form of social media and phone service to keep each other in "the loop". When the miles stretch out during the holidays I love to send them hugs via the U.S. Post. For Valentines Day I decided something sweet and homemade would be perfect. These white chocolate covered pretzel rods wouldn't completely derail everyone's New Years resolutions for healthier snack choices, but believe me, I ate enough of the reject rods to know that these chocolate covered hugs satisfy the most intense sweet tooth. Colorful "glitter" sugar and almonds add a touch of whimsy that is perfect for gift giving and party treats. </span></span></span></span></h4>
<br />
<h4>
Here's What you Need: </h4>
<br />
<ul>
<li>2 cups of white chocolate chips</li>
<li>1 tablespoon vegetable shortening</li>
<li>2 x 12 oz bags of large pretzel rods</li>
<li>1 cup sliced almonds crushed (optional)</li>
<li><u><i><a href="http://theurbanvegetable.blogspot.com/2014/02/colored-sugar-glitter.html" target="_blank">Edible Colored Sugar Glitter (optional) </a></i></u></li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<h4>
Here's What you gotta Do:</h4>
<br />
<ol>
<li>In a double boiler, bring a cup of water to a gentle simmer in the bottom pot. </li>
<li>In the top part of the double boiler, add the chocolate chips. </li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">When the chocolate begins to melt, stir in the vegetable shortening. Stir until the chocolate is mostly melted and remove from heat. </span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">Continue to stir until all of the chocolate is melted and has a smooth consistency throughout. </span></li>
<li>Lay out parchment paper or any smooth surface to place your dipped rods on to dry without sticking. </li>
<li>Use a spoon to cover about 3/4 of the rod in white chocolate. </li>
<li>Sprinkle the rods with "glitter" or almonds.</li>
<li>Place the covered rods on the parchment paper to dry. </li>
<li>The chocolate will be dry and easily handled in about 7 to 10 minutes. </li>
</ol>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">I usually refuse to work with glitter. Period. It spreads everywhere, gets into everything, and its impossible to get rid of. It is the herpes of the craft world. But I really wanted to make my <i><a href="http://theurbanvegetable.blogspot.com/2014/02/white-chocolate-dipped-pretzel-rods.html" target="_blank">White Chocolate Dipped Pretzel Rods</a> </i>special for Valentine's day. I found this recipes all over Pinterest, but everyone complained that the sugar melts. Well, I just turned the heat down and viola...a fun way to add some bling bling to your sweets.</span></h3>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h4>
Here's What You Need:</h4>
<br />
<ul>
<li>1/4 cup Sugar ( white or light works best)</li>
<li>Food coloring of your choice</li>
<li>A glass jar with a lid ( optional)</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h4>
Here's What You Gotta Do:</h4>
<ol>
<li>Preheat oven to 300 degrees</li>
<li>Pour sugar into a jar that has a lid.</li>
<li>Add drop by drop the desired food color. </li>
<li>Put the lid on the jar and shake the sugar in between drops until you reach your desired color intensity.</li>
<li>Spread the sugar out over a 8x8 baking pan and bake at 300 degrees for 10 minutes.</li>
<li>When sugar is dried, pull the pan out of the oven and let your "glitter" cool for 5 minutes.</li>
<li>Pour and store in a airtight container for later use</li>
</ol>
<br />
<br />
