Sunday, March 31, 2013The XO Scarf Tutorial
Friday, March 29, 2013
Hello friends! How are you? Spring has FINALLY begun to make itself known in Nebraska, and not a minute too soon! Today I have a fun tutorial for you, perfect for spring! Yes, the days are warming up, but mornings and evenings are still chilly!! So I love a light-weight scarf for an all-day look. This tutorial will show you how you can get the coverage you desire in a scarf, without having to bulk up.

To begin, all you need is a scarf! The longer and lighter weight, the better. Start with the scarf around your neck.

Step 1:: make a loop around your neck (this is the "O" in the XO Scarf).

Your loop should be big, but make sure the ends of the scarf hang down a few inches below the loop.
Step 2:: Lift up the loop and make an X with the ends (this represents the "X" in the XO Scarf).

When you have made the X, you can let the O fall back over it.

Step 3:: lift the end that was UNDER the cross (i.e. the LEFT end in the photo above) OVER the loop.

And then adjust to your liking, making sure it looks great!

And that's all there is to it! Easy to do, and still protects your neck from the chilly wind, AND it adds some interest to your outfit! Hope you enjoy wearing your spring scarves!
Love, Allie

Ooey Gooey Goodness!

Ingredients
1 cup flour
1 cup oats
3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 bag Kraft Caramels
5 Tbls. evaporated milk
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
2. Mix the base together
Cream the butter and sugar. You can do this by hand, but I prefer the mixer, because it makes it much easier!
Add the dry ingredients
Mix until the dough forms.
3. Press most of the base into a 9x13 pan, just until it covers the bottom. Leave enough of it to sprinkle over the top.
4. Bake base in the oven for 10 minutes, until light golden brown.
5. Mix up the caramel mixture.
You can do this while the base is baking! For the caramels, I like to use the Kraft caramel bits, because you don't have to unwrap them, like the regular caramels! Put caramels into a microwave-safe bowl, and add evaporated milk.
Microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until the caramels are completely melted, and everything is smooth.
6. Layer the bars.
Once the base is out of the oven...
Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the base. NOTE: it is fine if the base is still warm! It's going back into the oven no matter what!
Then cover chocolate chips with the caramel.
Use the rest of the base to crumble on top
7. Bake 15-20 minutes, until the crumble is golden brown.
