Sinless Apple Crisp

First of all, I would make the world's WORST food blogger.

Seriously!

Pioneer Woman takes a photo of EVERY stinkin' step...and I wolf down my food and think "Darn, I should have blogged about that".

I have a couple options here...I could make another batch, which I will inevitably eat, or I can draw you a picture...

TADA!!! I totally made that!!!

It might look like turds (did I just type TURDS?? I have a 5 year old boy...this subject comes up a lot) in a blue hot tub...but that's just because I have the paintshop skills of a 2 year old!!!

What is this, you ask? It's Sinless Apple Crisp!!! I found the recipe on Pinterest but it called for sugar and microwaving in a freezer bag. I just couldn't microwave it in a freezer bag...so I grabbed a Vent n' Serve (shout out to Tupperware!!) so that I could get the same steaming action!

Sinless Apple Crisp

Servings: 1 starved girl who just wants desert

Ingredients

1 medium apple (peeled, cored and sliced or cubed)

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp cornstarch

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 TBSP water

Mix everything together and microwave for 2 minutes or until tender. I stirred in 1/4 cup oatmeal for a little texture and 1 TBSP cream. But even with all that, it was a total of 175 calories! The recipe I found had sugar added, but I don't think it is needed because of all the natural sugar in apples. And I wanted to keep the calories low and not have a sugar overload (or I would have eaten the ice cream in the freezer!)

BONUS: My house smells AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

I'm very content and full now...and not craving "naughty foods"!

I promise to never, ever, draw my food creations again.

EVER!

Karen Chemo Cap 5th Anniversary Makeover

I had someone ask me about the Karen Chemo Cap Fan Stitch and I decided the video and pattern were both in need of a make-over! Especially when I noticed this year is the 5th anniversary of publishing this pattern. When my mom had chemo I made her a few different hats because honestly it felt like the only thing I could do. I designed this one just for her, and was super excited when it was her favorite! After she passed I wasn't sure I wanted to release the design, but with a little time...it felt like the right thing to do! You can download the pattern for free here (please give it a favorite over on Ravelry so that it gets a little Ravelry love!!!): Ravelry: Karen Chemo Cap pattern by A Little Knitty Designs You can purchase the yarn we used here: Cumulus by Juniper Moon Farm (alittleknitty.com) Here is the video if you need help with the fan stitch!

Chemo Caps - Part 2

The Gia Chemo Cap doesn't have the same sort of story behind it as the Karen Cap , but it was developed with Chemo patients in mind! Please share this pattern with anyone who would like to knit a hat for someone in need! You can download your pattern here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/gia-chemo-cap

This eliminates the purl stitches looking a little funky (if you know, you know). We decreased by 25% of the stitches about halfway through the cowl to allow the top of the cowl to be a little closer to the neck and the bottom spread over your shoulders if you want to wear it that way! We gave you little check boxes to check off as you complete repeats. **PATTERN** Using Main Color, CO92, place stitch marker and join in the round Round 1: (K2, P2) Repeat parentheses all the way around Repeat Round 1 six more times ⃞ ⃞...
