Our November Diva of the Month is a very active and supportive member at CSDivas! Since Audrey joined CSDivas she has been a faithful player and very diligent in following the Divas Getting Organized challenge. She is a very creative and fun Diva! Please help me welcome Audrey as our Diva of the Month for November!!!
WOW!!! What a surprise thank you Diva’s for selecting me. I was born and raised in Sunny Southern California and have been scrapbooking for over 12 years now. Starting off with my grandchildren’s photos, after having them sitting for years with few people to share them with. I have been a stay at home wife/grandmother since 1994 after quitting my job of 29 years to adopt and raise my 5 grandchildren. This changed my job to picking up and delivering kids from school and their many respective sporting events through out the years. The job of a grandmother is never finished as I now pick up and deliver my great-granddaughters to and from preschools, kindergarten, and dance classes. In addition to scrapbooking I love to cook for crowds, creating or trying new recopies’ keeps my creative mind busy in all I do. Yes, I am a Scrapbooking Diva I found enjoyment in using photos to share the stories of our lives in hopes to inspire many live long after I gone.
There are lots of holiday’s traditions that are practiced this time of the year, so let’s start this season of with a holiday layout page. My challenge for you is to create a layout page sharing one of your family traditions. Include a journal box telling about your tradition.
Here is my sample:

ORIGINAL SPICY BUFFALO WINGS
This is the original spicy Buffalo chicken wings recipe from the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY. You can adjust the heat by adding more or less cayenne and Tabasco.
There are many Buffalo chicken wing recipes out there, but if you want to taste the "real" thing give this a try. The chicken wings are deep-fried in the original recipe, but the hot oven works fine for the home version.
Makes 6 Servings of Buffalo Chicken Wings (6 per person)
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
* 36 chicken wing pieces (one wing makes 2 pieces - the "flat" and the "drum")
* 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
* 1 tsp salt
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar
* 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
* 1/8 teaspoon garlic salt
* 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
* 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 6 tablespoons Louisiana hot sauce (Frank's is the brand used in Buffalo)
* 6 tablespoons unsalted butter or margarine
* celery sticks
* blue cheese dressing
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
1. If necessary, cut whole wings into two pieces. In a bowl toss the wings with the oil, and salt. Place into a large plastic shopping bag, and add the flour. Shake to coat evenly. Remove wings from the bag, shaking off excess flour, and spread out evenly on oiled foil-lined baking pan(s). Do not crowd. Bake for about 20 minutes, turn the wings over, and cook another 20 minutes, or until the wings are cooked through and browned.
2. While the wings are baking, mix all the ingredients for the sauce in a pan, and over low heat bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and then turn off.
3. After the wings are cooked, transfer to a large mixing bowl. Pour the sauce over the hot wings and toss with a spoon or spatula to completely coat.
These are always served with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing on the side.
