Yummy Goodies on HIH



Welcome to the Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #582 - this is Katie from Love My Messy Messy Mess and it's my last party to host.  I hope you've enjoyed all of my features this month, it's always so hard to narrow it down to just four or five but when I finally figure it out, those posts are certainly deserving.

This Week's Features


One of my favorite desserts is is the Italian dessert tiramisu so when I saw this recipe for Tiramisu Dip I had to feature it.  Another great recipe from Cindy's On-Line Recipe Box - bravo!




I have heard of bang bang shrimp but I had never heard of Bang Bang Salmon - this sounds so yummy and a fun twist on that popular recipe.  



I am really getting into decluttering as I continue to tidy up the house.  However sometimes motivation is needed,  so I found this list with a  May Declutter Calendar to help keep me going and stay on track.





Over our spring break, I was able to take the kids to Crumbl for the first time while visiting my family in Buffalo.  We enjoyed such delicious cookies and loved the whole experience at the store.  Check out this post with a Crumbl Cotton Candy Cookie Recipe the Fat Dad Foodie blog - this looks like a good one!

I used to love an old fashioned banana split dessert, but unfortunately I could never eat one these days (too big!).  How fun would this No Bake Banana Split Dessert be to make in the summer time for a cool treat?

Creating A Memory

Creating A Memory

As many of you know, my Mom passed away in February. On April 28th, she would have been a hundred. She was an amzing woman. I miss her so much.

After the funeral, I pulled two roses from one of the baskets. When I brought them home, I just placed them on a table. I kept moving them around, trying to decided what to do with them. 

I was arranging some pieces on my shelf when it came to me - put them in a frame.

I already had this frame with no backing, so I cut a piece of cardboard to fit in the frame and them wrapped it with this jute ribbon. I am not sure where I got it, I think at a sale.

I just glued it on the back of the cardboard and then hot glued it in the corners on the back of the frame.

Since they had been lying on my table, they were flat on one side. So I placed them together and wrapped a piece of fabric around them. The leaves had dried nicely too, so I added one at the top. I hot glued it all in place.

I placed the frame on top of this cabinet near a picture of my Mom when she was little. You can see her picture in the background.

This is my Mom when she was 3 years old.

I am so pleased with how this turned out and a great way to preserve the roses. You could do this with any flowers that might be sentimental to you.
