Cruciferous Vegetable Salad With Carrot Hearts
Have you heard the news about cruciferous vegetables and their wonderful health benefits? They have properties that enable one to greatly fight the preventive war against cancer, and so everyone should eat them daily. The good news is that the list is quite extensive and varied, and even for those like me that have to worry about not eating bugs in things like the very healthy kale, and who don't have bok choy readily available, there are still lots more veggies on the list! This salad, which I made using white cabbage, kohlrabi and radishes, has three cruciferous vegetables in it, and is fresh and delicious. Dress it with an…

Radish Roses And Carrot Hearts
Come to think of it, there is really nothing all that caring about giving your loved ones all kinds of food colored and sugar coated treats just to show your love on a commercial holiday, is there? Okay, I know, I know, the pressure in on to conform, and if a bunch of people are eating this way, then your family wants it too……believe me I experience the same thing on a regular basis. So, while depriving our families of treats isn't the healthiest thing to do in the long run, we can make an effort to show our love with some healthier options! So I now introduce to you,…

Origami Hearts Wall Hanging Craft
This origami hearts wall hanging which can be an origami craft for kids, was actually a collaboration between myself and my ten year old son, the best kind of partnership I must say! My kids are very busy these days and there really aren't any huge windows of time for crafting, but I'm always trying to sneak little activities in here and there, and origami is truly a winner in this department. Doing origami with kids helps build all kinds of skills, and when you're done you actually have something fun to show for it. Simple origami for kids can be used in so many ways, and this wall hanging…

Origami Fruit
i'm so excited to share with you a super cute and super simple way to make a quick centerpiece, a fun place marker or a sweet mobile: origami fruit! Yes indeed, the same origami balloon shape that can be used to make origami string light covers can also be used to make adorable origami fruit in any color you like. These were made with a square made from letter sized paper, but much larger ones would work too, and if you make just four really large ones you can have a fantastic centerpiece in very little time. I'm planning on hanging these over our dining room table to celebrate…

Origami String Light Covers
Origami balloons or origami cubes folded from your favorite colored and patterned paper are a perfect way to dress up string lights for a special occasion or just because. I remember making these origami balloons in grade school to play with in the classroom on a winter day, so I was so happy to revisit this simple craft after so many years. Not to mention that I've been wanting to do this for ages and only now had a moment (well a lot more than that actually) to give it a try. I love the idea of combining solid paper in happy colors with patterned black and white paper, and…

DIY Cupcake Pedestal From A Recycled Can
There is no better way to display cupcakes than on a pedestal, and now you can whip one up yourself like this quick DIY Cupcake pedestal. I made this cupcake pedestal for the Jewish holiday of Tu B'Shevat coming up on Sunday night, (and using my printable fruit slices crafting pages) though I'm quite sure we'll be using this idea for many more special occasions to come. And yes, I do realize that the proportions of my cupcake pedestal aren't exactly right, but I think that is what makes it such a great partner with the hand colored paper and cupcake toppers. I'm on a new campaign to run in…
