Candy Hogan (#8283, Tigger9777) has received a certificate of achievement in Farm Kitchen for earning a Beginner Classy Casseroles badge!
"I had fun looking on the Internet and through my recipes and cook books for casserole recipes to try.
I made the Taco Casserole out of the new MJF magazine and the grandkids came over so we could try it and talked about the recipes.
It was fun."

"After we had our family tasting party with the taco casserole, the family thought it would be nice to try another recipe from the MJF magazine. The next night, I made the twice baked potato casserole.
We liked the added bacon to this recipe."

"I posted on the merit badge chit chat room, but it went to the top of the page.
I made a breakfast casserole of home made hash browns and pork sausages.
Next I made a lunch casserole of 3 cheese macaroni and split beef hot dogs.
Dinner was a ham and noodles casserole (recipe on the chit chat room).
My dessert casserole was a peach dump cake casserole with cinnamon.
I really liked this new badge. I have continued making casseroles such as a chicken mushroom soup noodle bake."

"I looked on the Internet for ideas, but decided to try the Focaccia bread in the new MJF magazine because it looked so colorful and pretty.
I have never made focaccia before. It was an easy recipe; mine is not as pretty, but it turned out well.
It was good."

"I looked online and in my kid recipie books for ideas.
Since we had 3 of the grandkids for the weekend, we started off with a decorate your own breakfast pancake. Lots of different fresh fruit toppings and, of course, sugar options like chocolate chips, whipped cream and maple sugar. My sharing of the recipe was with our grandkids.
It was fun to see what everyone created."

Candy Hogan (#8283, Tigger9777) has received a certificate of achievement in Each Other for earning a Beginner Swap It Up! badge!
"I have participated and hosted several swaps before, so I am excited to do this again.
I am going to do my April Showers bring May Flowers swap, but instead of just flower seeds, add flower bulbs this year.
Locally, we had our April Brentwood Farmgirl meeting and I suggested we all bring a swap so all the ladies can do this beginner level at our meeting.
It was fun."

"I went to the swaps chat room and signed up to participate in the "Recipe Card Swap In Honor Of Jubilee"
We just needed to mail 6 blank recipe cards to our partner. I was paired with Debbie, from Oregon. We have swapped in the past, so it was fun to partner with her again.
The swap closed on 4/20 and I mailed my swaps 4/22. I sent her 6 blank recipe cards, 2 blank stationary cards, some seeds and a letter.
I like doing swaps."

Candy Hogan (#8283, Tigger9777) has received a certificate of achievement in Farm Kitchen for earning a Beginner Mrs. Potato Head badge!
"I researched some potato recipes such as: potato pancakes, bread, soup, patties, boxty and farls.
I decided to make the boxty and farls. Both recipes are from Ireland.
I researched how to grow organic potatoes online at organicgardening.com and on YouTube I researched potato growing secrets.
I have to say, this was pretty fun."

"I hosted a potato recipe party while I had 3 of the grandkids this past weekend. We made mashed potatoes, garlic roasted potatoes, and had the boxty and farls I made for the Beginner level.
My new recipe I created for the Expert level was their favorite, and I will post that next.
I have started growing my organic russet potatoes. Last spring I had a big potato patch. This time I am trying to grow them in crates.
It was fun."

"I created a new recipe by using the Farl recipe as my base. Note that recipe does not say how much salt to use, so my recipe I used 1 tsp.
Then, because it was a bland cake/bread, I decided to add cinnamon and chocolate chips, turn it over like a french crepe and fry it in a pan.
I shared it while I had the family this past weekend and three of the grandkids. Out of all the potato recipes and Casseroles, this was their favorite.
It turned out tasty."

Candy Hogan (#8283, Tigger9777) has received a certificate of achievement in Garden Gate for earning a Beginner Terrarium Glass Gardening badge!
"I researched what plants to put in terrariums and they recommend plants that will do well with humidity such as:
Nerve plant, ferns, mosses, peperomia, pilea, mini orchids and bromeliads.
The size I want to do is table top centerpiece and small glass containers. Maybe a geo dome container. I will put it in my sunny kitchen.
Excited to start making some terrariums."
