GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. -- Donna Erickson, host of "Donna's Day" on TPTLife, stopped by the KARE Barn with her fun projects and craft ideas for families this fall.
Here are the projects Donna mentioned:
Summer Memory Story Blocks
1. Decorate milk cartons with summer souvenirs, photos, etc.
2. Toss on the floor to be a story starter for telling past summer adventures including fun at the State Fair.
Corny Stuff
For kids with missing front teeth, here's how to quickly remove corn from cob:
1. Soak corn on the cob in water and bbq husk and all
2. Use a damp paper towel to remove silks
Corn Dip is a Snack-Attack Hit
by Donna Erickson
2 (15-ounce) cans Southwest Mexicorn with sweet peppers, drained
1 (4-ounce) can diced roasted green chilies, drained
1 (4-ounce) can diced jalapenos, drained
2 green onions (scallions), finely chopped
3/4 cup light mayonnaise
2/3 cup light sour cream
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Chill, covered, for several hours or overnight to allow flavors to intensify.
Serve with corn chips in scoop shapes. Or, use it as a dip for raw vegetables, or as a tasty filling with coarsely shredded carrots and sliced sugar snap peas in flour tortilla wraps.
Keeps well in the refrigerator (covered) for four to five days. Stir before serving. Yields 4 cups.
"Donna's Day" airs Fridays at 7:30 a.m. on TPTLife, channels 13 & 17. Check your local listings for more information, or visit www.donnasday.com.
