Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Unless you live under a rock or on another planet, you know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. You see the famous Pink Ribbon and the color pink everywhere and all for a great cause ... breast cancer research and to honor those who are fighting the battle, the survivors and those who have lost their battle.

I have been busy creating pendants and just finished creating earring for the cause. For each one I sell, I am donating a portion of the sale to Breast Cancer Research. I have them in my Etsy shop and on eBay.
Here are the designs offered and I will also do custom work if requested.

Inital with Pink Ribbon ~ All Initials Available

I also have a Display Cube specifically for Breast Cancer.

Top can be left plain or personalized.


AND, please make sure all the women in your life are getting their mammograms! If you haven't had yours yet, call right now and schedule your appointment, talk with your friends and schedule a buddy appointment.

Boo Bugs with Spider Web Dip

This is a great appetizer for a children's Halloween Party!

For the Bugs
  • 1 can (11 oz.) Pillsbury® refrigerated breadsticks
  • 24 cocktail-size smoked link sausages (14 oz. package)
  • 3.4 cup shoestring potatoes or chow mein noodles
  • Ketchup, barbecue sauce and/or mustard for decorating
For the Spider Web Dip
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup or 1 tablespoon marinara sauce
Directions

  1. Heat oven to 375°. Unroll dough and separate at perforation into 12 breadsticks. With knife or kitchen scissors, cut each breadstick in half crosswise, making 24 pieces.
  2. Wrap each piece of dough around center of each sausage, pinching to seal and leaving each end of sausage showing.
  3. Place seam side down and 1/2" apart on large ungreased cookie sheet.
  4. Bake 11 to 14 minutes or until golden brown. Immediate remove from cookie sheet and place on serving tray. Cool 2 minutes.
  5. Insert shoestring potatoes into baked dough to resemble legs and antennae. Decorate "bugs" with dots or stripes of ketchup and mustard.
  6. Spread ranch dressing in a 9" glass pie plate or dinner plate. 
  7. Spoon ketchup into a small resealable food-storage plastic bag. Seal and cut a tiny hole in one of the bottom corners. Squeeze bag to draw a coil of ketchup or marinara sauce over ranch dressing.
  8.  Drag toothpick through coil from center out, created a web. Serve dip with "bugs."
Enjoy!


This is not my original recipe but from Pillsbury's Halloween, October 2006 cookbook.
