Toilet Paper Roll Rocket

I found this project here along with 14 other fun projects to make using recycled toilet paper rolls.  Davin loved making the rocket, it was easy and not too messy.  You could even add some glitter or stickers to it to for something a little different, enjoy!

Cauliflower Pizza Crust

I have made this a few times now and used this recipe to make my cauliflower pizza crust.  This time I made this crust it turned our really great and tasted just like a pizza with a regular crust.  The pizza I made here is just topped with tomato, mozzarella and basil (Margarita pizza).  My Husband who hates cauliflower even loved this pizza!  I recommend that you add the exact amount of cauliflower the recipe calls for (I added more the first time so I wasn't "wasteful" since this is pretty much the only thing I use cauliflower for) and don't forget to pre-bake the crust! I've done both of these things before and the result was less than satisfactory.   The crust just ended up being somewhat soft and not like a regular pizza crust, it throws the flavor off a bit when you add too much cauliflower too. 

Bloody Cupcakes

I made these for Halloween a couple of years ago and I'm not sure what recipe I used for the blood, but they  were pretty cool!  Here is a recipe I found that sounds like the one I used or pretty close.  I used the liquid food coloring in the little plastic bottle that comes in a four pack.  I would really recommend using the gel food coloring instead so it's not as runny.    I made the cupcakes out of a red velvet cake mix for the full effect.

How to Play:

1.  The alligator "chomps" the color that matches the one on his head, that simple!
