Supporting American Jobs and Mason Jar Cabinet Make-Over Project

Please take a look at my photos of my mason jar cabinet make-over end of year holiday project. 2012 is looking like a very exciting year ahead and I wanted to make sure I began the year on the best foot. Sort of like the classic reggae line “I’m stepping in hotter this year”.

One of my many projects around the apartment was to reorganize my food cabinets. But I asked myself, how best can I tackle this project? With some help from other food/parenting/family blogs and Amazon, I was able to jump right into this creative and fun mason jar cabinet make-over project. Here are some photos that track my journey to cleaner, Eco-friendly stored dried goods. I hope you enjoy and get inspired to also clean up your cabinet act!

Red Velvet Pancakes

camillecares — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:19:27 +0000

This weekend I took some dear advice on testing out a brand new recipe where I put a twist on an everyday comfort food favorite, Pancakes!

Saturday’s brunch had a new center piece, Red Velvet Pancakes!

Here are some photographs. I hope you enjoy them.

I made a less hearty version of the recipe to lessen the overall calorie count.

Instead of buttermilk, cream, and the cream cheese topping, I used 2% milk, sour cream, and maple syrup.
