Exotic DIY Miniature Plant Terrarium

Back in the day Terrariums used to be popular and my sister and I made plenty of them. They were fun and we loved going to the 5 & Dime store to pick out little animal porcelain figurines for the terrarium (that's correct they weren't plastic or cheap looking).

The Making of American Flag Pallets - DIY How to Make the American Flag Using Wood Pallets

A tutorial on how to make four styles of the American Flag Using Wood Pallets.

This summer I set out to make an American Flag out of wood pallets. One turned into four after friends and family saw the first one.

My first charge was to find pallet boards that were in really good shape. I am lucky because my husband has a lot of them at work so he is able to bring home the ones that are in the best condition and have the best wood.

Flavored Smoked Sea Salts

I always try to come up with new flavorings for my proteins and lately I have been playing around with a different array of seasonings. Its kind of amazing the prices you pay for these and as I was picking up a small bag of salt for a big price, I thought to myself, why am I paying $10 for this!
So the experiments began and I must say, I had a few learning experiences, like don't put the salt on when your grill is still 400 degrees, but all in all it went really smooth and the aromas and flavorings are wonderful.
