{Retirement} How about you? Are you close?



I figure I'm still a good 15 years away from retirement but my Origami Owl business is going to make retirement that much sweeter! Looking forward to the day... How about you? Are you close? If not, could you use a little more income now to plan for an amazing retirement then? If so, becoming an Independent Designer for Origami Owl may be just what you need to give you that extra financial cushion!

recipe for Crock Pot Turkey

turkey breast to fit in your crock-pot (fresh, bone-in or boneless) 1 Tbsp poultry seasoning

1 tsp salt

1/2 Tbsp pepper

(any additional spices you like)



Wash turkey and place in crock-pot. Fill 1/2 full with water. Sprinkle on spices. Cook on Low for 8 - 12 hours. Take turkey out of crock-pot. Remove bones (this should be real easy to do). OPTIONAL: reserve the broth for other recipes - strain.



NOTES: Boneless is easiest (no bones to pick out) however I prefer with bones (more flavor). If you get a turkey that is too big for your crock-pot, it is possible, although not easy, to trim it down to fit. To give you an idea of how much this makes, I generally get around 8 - 12 cups of meat.

"My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to, your dreams stay big and your worries stay small. You never need to carry more than you can hold. And while you're out there getting where you're getting to I hope you know somebody loves you and wants the same things too. Yeah, this is my wish!" - Rascall Flatts

Recipe: Cream Cheese and Pepper Jelly


Combine one package of softened (I let it sit out for an hour) cream cheese, and 1/2 jar of either red or green pepper jelly. (I use red jalepeno peper jelly). This is not hot, but delicious served on gourmet crackers.

Seven-layer Bars (also called Magic cookie bars)

These cookies are easy to make. 
Melt 1/2 cup butter in the microwave.
Pour into a 13x9 pan and stir in 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers.
Pat evenly in pan and then sprinkle, in order, with 1 cup chocolate chips, 1 cup butterscotch chips, 1 1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut, and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.
Pour one 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minute.
Cool and cut into bars. (These cut more evenly if you wait overnight to cut them).



{Magnets}

 

Origami Owl's Living Lockets are held closed by two small magnets, allowing your important charms to be held tight inside your locket. The magnets allow for easy modification as your story grows and evolves as well as security and piece of mind knowing your locket won't pop open during your busy day! ~ Tina
