Nuts and bolts

The much requested nuts and bolts recipe of reconstituted crappy foods that taste really good in this combination.

COMBINE in a large roasting pan:
675g cereal combination of nutrigrain, cheerios and honey chex
500g unsalted nuts ( I did use salted but I thought it was a bit too salty)
1 pack French onion soup
1pack Cream of chicken soup
1tblsp curry powder
2tspn dry mustard
POUR OVER AND MIX WELL
2/3 cup warmed oil of your choice ( I used peanut)
BAKE IN 150C OVEN
for about an hour maybe longer. Before the onions brown too much but all the oil has absorbed.
Turn regularly to coat the cereal.

altered tin


I had this Glorious Green out and the Cameo Coral not far away from something the girls were doing. I liked the combination and even though the colour isn't in the paper I still liked it. Anyway, it was for the Just add ink challenge of "wild Card" do anything you like so I just kind of went OUT there. Not sure if I'll actually submit it.
I did like how the So Saffron label took the Life Definitions stamp perfectly. I then rolled out two more labels, in Coral and layered them behind, overlapping to make a larger one to mat the label on to.
Supplies: Washington Apple DSP. Vellum So Saffron, Cameo Coral and Glorious Green Cardstock.
Life Definitions Stamp set.
Tools: Big Shot, Sizzlits Lots of Tags, Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.
Butterfly, scallop edge and Wide oval Punches
