Ingredients

1 2/3 cups white sugar
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter 
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (6 ounce) packages milk chocolate chips
16 large marshmallows
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup chopped nuts

Direction
1.Combine sugar, milk, butter and salt in a medium sized saucepan. Bring to a boil, cook 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
2.Add in chocolate chips; cook until melted.
3.Remove from heat; stir in marshmallows, vanilla and nuts. Mix well.
4.Pour into a 8-inch pan.

Cool cut into squares.

Prep Time: 5 mins

Total Time: 15 mins

{Cake Mix + Soda} Peach Cobbler

• 1 box cake mix {I used yellow... white or butter also work. Cake mixes without pudding work better}
• 1 12-oz can of lemon lime soda
• about 5-6 cups fresh peaches {fresh or canned} Use about two 24-oz cans drained peaches
• 2 TBSP cinnamon

Peel and slice fresh peaches into chunks. Drain canned peaches. Place into a 9x13 pan that's been sprayed with non-stick spray.

Sprinkle cake mix directly on top of peaches. Use a spoon {or your hand like me!} to gently press the cake mix down into the peaches.

Pour the can of soda on top. Make sure you pour it all over the cake mix, attempting to cover it completely. It will bubble up like in the picture below.

Now preheat your oven to 350 degrees. The cobbler will just sit and bubble around for a few minutes while the oven is preheating. This is good!

Sprinkle the cinnamon on top of the soda. It will pop some of the bubbles, but it will still be very liquidy on top.

Bake cobber for 1 hour. Remove from oven and let cool for about 5 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream or top with whipped topping! ENJOY!

Take a moment to meditate on the crystals below. note the number of the stone that you the most drawn to and scroll below to determine its soul meaning.

1. Koroit Opal

You are naturally gifted, yet few ever recognize the treausres that you contain within. A lightworker, You often struggle to adapt to Earth changes, and strive for inner balance and being accepted for your advanced beliefs. Your sense of wellbeing is often affected by stressful circumstances and negative people - you are cautioned to use protection through the form of your guides or crystals, and to be conscious of others influences. If you often feel misunderstood, know that your purpose on this earth is to understand and have compassion, and that the more you open your awareness, the more self-acceptance you will develop.

2. Rutilated Quartz

Ever perceptive and philosophical, you are the deep thinker, the one whose waters run clear to the core. Often the sparkling spirit, too much negative energy can easily displace your goals and purpose, here you should refocus and redetermine your efforts in both the physical and spiritual worlds. Your unique soul is one of a kind, and you have ties to the ancient civilization of Atlantis, you are intuitive and a bit quirky. Your sensitivity often finds you looking too deeply into what other people mean and while you are empathic, often you overestimate the depth or intention of others who are simply having a bad day.

3. Malachite

An intelligent and thoughtful person, you are a great thinker who spends a lot of time thinking about what is right, even if the majority of society does not agree with you. You know for yourself what you need to do and not do, and you want to create a life in accordance with your own ideaology. You are trying to establish an independent sphere of your own. You are an old soul who has come here to learn a specific lesson that likely has to do with a karmic relationship. Trust your instincts and your heart, and watch for patterns which repeat themselves over and over again on this timeline.

4. Rose Quartz

You are romantic and an eternal optimist who believes that life is a gift and you try to achieve as much as possible and put this gift to the best use possible. As an advanced soul, you are loyal to those that you care about through thick and thin, and use every opportunity to forgive, learn, and grow because you believe that life is too short to do otherwise. You are being asked to open your heart and spirit to the energy of unconditional love in all forms - self-love, platonic love, spiritual love and romantic love. Take time to reflect on the abundance that the universe has bestowed upon you. You are here to teach and to love, look for a sign from your guides to help show you the way.

5. Herkimer Diamond

You are mysterious and possess the gift of natural magick, and unafraid to explore the deeper meaning and mysteries of life. Your ideal is to be free of the repression of limited and uninspired thinking, and to help others to do the same. You have a link to the lost continent of Lemuria, and should consider a trip to Mt. Shasta at least once in your lifetime. Avoid contact with people who would dissuade you from your natural proclivity towards the mystical, while allowing them to learn their own lessons in this existence.

6. Rhodochrosite

Again and again, you are drawn towards love and relationships, but have not always had success in these areas. This is a karmic agreement which you entered into willingly prior to this incarnation, which will enable ultimately your soul's growth and potential. You have a natural ability to heal, although this may have been largely untapped in you up to this point. Search for ways and means which allow you to enjoy life without care and spend more time devoting yourself to the things that bring you a sense of joy.

7. Apatite

A sensitive spirit, you can be determined and motivated towards anything which benefits mankind. You were trained in the classical mysteries in an earlier incarnation, possibly having something to do with Egyptian or Native American magic. Thanks to your determination and force of will, you often achieve what you plan to do, but you also run the risk of paying too little attention to the needs of other people and to isolate yourself from them. You want to be able to fulfill your dreams even when they seem unrealistic to others. Realize that you fully need to apply thought and energy if you wish to reach your goal.

8. Red Tiger's Eye

An inner urge drives you to obtain the sensual pleasures of life. You are charming and magnetic, and love to make people laugh, but strive to maintain harmony with the cosmos.Spontaneous and enthusiastic, you never say no to an adventure and have unexplored gifts in shamanism. Often, you end up surprising and even shocking people. Your past life has an impact on your present, and you were sent here to perform a specific task which you may even now not be wholly aware of, although there are clues in your life which underscore its existence. You have many interests and if something proves of interest to you, you will not rest until you acquire a profound knowledge of this area.

9. Chrysocolla

A natural healer, you prefer to retreat to a quiet place undisturbed by problems and worries when things and people upset you. Others do not often understand your need for reflection and solitude, but these attributes and aspects are necessary for you to fulfill your purpose here. When you are in a more social mode, you are charming, given to deep emotions and have a highly-developed sense of intuition. Trust your instincts more, and your thoughts and purpose will follow.

Ingredients:

3 tbsp milk

3 tbsp boiling water

1 tsp dry active yeast

8 oz all purpose flour (a little under 2 cups - I recommend you measure and weigh. See my note above)

1 1/2 oz sugar (about 3 tablespoons)

1 egg

1 oz butter, cold to room temperature (just don't melt it, okay?)

dash of salt

Enough oil to cover the bottom few inches of a wok, or a deep fryer.

Directions:

In a large measuring jug, combine the milk and boiling water. Add a teaspoon of the sugar and the yeast. Stir it gently, then leave it in a warm place for the yeast to activate (aka foam).

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, the rest of the sugar, and the salt. Cut in the butter using your fingers or a pastry blender, until it resembles crumbs.

Add the egg (give it a quick beat) and yeast mixture to the flour mix, and mix into a smooth dough. This usually takes about 5 minutes of mixing.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly-floured counter and knead for about 5 to 10 minutes—it should feel springy and little bubbles should form under the surface. Place it back in the bowl, cover with a cloth or plastic wrap, and let rise for about an hour until double in size.

Once risen, place the dough onto the counter and cut it into 4 pieces. One piece at a time, stretch it into a long rope about an inch to an inch and a half wide. Cut strips about an inch long, ball em up with your hands, and place them on a baking tray or wire rack to wait.

Cover the doughnuts holes with a cloth to rise while you heat the oil to 375F.

Place the doughnuts into the oil and fry until golden brown on each side, about 2 minutes. Be sure to fry only a few at a time so they don’t overcrowd and stick together.

Drain on a paper towel or wire rack over a cloth, before glazing them. Be sure to glaze them warm, or else they won’t get that delicious coverage!

Glaze:

1/3 cup butter

2 cups confectioners' sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

4 tablespoons hot water or as needed

A brief note: I recommend a scale, as not all flours (and cup measurements) are made equal.

2 cups of my Canadian flour in my Canadian cups on my scale might be more or less than yours. 

If you don't have a scale, start at 1 1/2 cups and work your way up from there.

 Depends what you need it for. To ward them away from you personally, carry it in your wallet or pocket- I'll sometimes draw it on my hand if I really feel a need for it. To keep them away from your house, you can post it on the wall, or if you'd rather not have it visible, draw it in chalk on your door (white-on-white), tape it behind a picture frame on your wall, or draw it on the underside of a rug. I've had trouble with them while dreaming or astral projecting, so I have one under my mattress. *Nim*

 DOG
The Dog is a symbol of faithfulness and protection. You are very blessed if you have this spirit animal guiding you. You must have a great spirit and the ability to love. People with a dog spirit guide are usually helping others or serving humanity in some way. Dog teaches us about the loving gentleness of best friend and the fierce energy of protector. Dog guides us to have a deep understanding and compassion of humanity. We know that people are to be loved unconditionally, not because of what they do or don’t do but because they are human beings. Dog teaches us to be forgiving and you don’t get caught up in pettiness. You are being guided to be a faithful, loving and gentle person but one who protects friends and family to the very end ~ Lisa Cherie
