4 ingredient Orange Chicken. Crowd pleaser with my kids. Can be 3 ingredients if you just get the Orange Chicken sauce, but one of my kids thinks it's too spicy.
*I air fry the chicken for a few mins longer than the package says to get them a little crispier.
*For this entire bag of chicken, I mixed approximately 1C of the teriyaki sauce with about 1/2 cup of the marmalade. This made it saucy so they could mix some of the sauce with the rice.
*I dump the chicken in a Tupperware with a cover and shake it all around with the sauce to coat
Takes about 12-15 minutes to throw this all together.

DIY Firework Suncatcher
Ingredients:
- Clear plastic sheet or transparent contact paper
- Colored tissue paper (various colors)
- Glue stick or liquid glue
- Scissors
- Black construction paper or cardstock
- Hole punch
- String or ribbon

Step-by-step Directions:

1. Prepare the Base: Start by cutting the clear plastic sheet or the transparent contact paper into your desired suncatcher shape, such as a circle, star, or square.

2. Cut Tissue Paper: Tear or cut the colored tissue paper into small pieces. You can use various colors to create a more vibrant design, reminiscent of fireworks in the sky.

3. Glue Tissue Pieces: Apply glue evenly on the plastic base. Begin sticking the tissue paper pieces onto the glued area in a firework pattern or choose a random technique for a more abstract look. Be sure to leave some spaces for light to shine through.

4. Create Frame: Take the black construction paper or cardstock and cut a frame to border the suncatcher. The frame should be slightly larger than the plastic sheet. Glue it around the edges of the suncatcher to give it a polished look.

5. Punch Hole: Use a hole punch to make a hole at the top of the suncatcher for hanging later.

6. Attach String: Cut a piece of string or ribbon and thread it through the hole you just punched. You can tie a knot to ensure the string stays secure.

7. Display: Hang your firework suncatcher in a sunny window. The sunlight will shine through the colored tissue paper, creating beautiful patterns and a festive atmosphere.

Tips & Variations:
- Experiment with different shapes and sizes for your suncatcher. You can create a series of small suncatchers and hang them together for an eye-catching display.
- For added texture, consider layering different shades of tissue paper to create depth and dimension in your design.

Swirl Glowing Bounce Ball
Ingredients:

- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon borax
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons white school glue (PVA glue)
- Food coloring or glow pigment (optional)
- Glitter or mica powder (optional for sparkle)
- Disposable cups
- Spoons
- Gloves

Directions:

1. Mix Borax Solution: In a small cup, stir the borax into the warm water until it is completely dissolved. Set this mixture aside.

2. Make Glue Base: In another disposable cup, mix together the glue, cornstarch, and a few drops of food coloring and glitter (if desired). Stir well to ensure that everything is combined thoroughly.

3. Combine & Stir: Gradually pour the glue mixture into the dissolved borax solution. Stir the mixture with a spoon or stick as it begins to clump together and form a slime-like ball.

4. Shape & Dry: Once the mixture has clumped, remove it from the liquid and roll it between your hands to shape it into a smooth ball. Allow the ball to sit for about 5 to 10 minutes to firm up properly.

5. Bounce Away! Your bouncy ball is now ready to use! Store it in an airtight container or bag to prevent it from drying out.

Tips & Variations:

- For a more vibrant glow, consider using glow-in-the-dark pigment instead of regular food coloring. This will make your ball glow in the dark after being exposed to light.

- Experiment with different colors and glitter combinations to create unique bouncy balls for special occasions or gifts!

This Cheesy Western Macaroni is pure comfort food and makes a BIG batch — perfect for feeding a crowd or having leftovers 😋
Works great with ground deer meat, but ground beef is just as good.

In a large pot over medium heat, brown 2–3 pounds of ground deer meat or ground beef. Once cooked, add two cans of mild Rotel and two cans of drained corn straight into the pot. Season generously with whatever you love — salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, taco seasoning, or a mix of all of it 🤌 Let everything cook together until heated through and the flavors come together.

While that’s going, cook two boxes of elbow macaroni in a separate pot according to package directions. Drain well, then add the pasta directly into the meat mixture.

Stir in 2–3 jars of Tostitos Medium Cheese Dip, depending on just how cheesy you want it. Keep the heat on low and mix until everything is hot, creamy, and fully combined 🧀🔥
