Darlene’s Tips:  You can line your brownie pan with foil so you can lift the entire slab so it’s easier to cut into squares.  You can use any crushed cookies or you can skip that part. Top with instead! You could try adding about a teaspoon of baking cocoa to the cream cheese mixture for a chocolate topping. Add more if needed.

My Top 10 Highest Earning Videos for Last Week (7/6/20 – 7/12/20)

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.

Below is a list of my Top 10 highest earning videos for the week of 7/6/20 – 7/12/20.  If you have not seen these videos, now is a great time to binge watch!

See previous Top 10 posts here (then scroll down)

You can now see the Previous Weeks Earnings below!

Top 10 highest earners.  Remember, the earnings are for just the one week, not for the life of the video.

  1. Making a Considered Crumb Block – Crumb Chat – $63.68
  2. How I Turn Narrow Fabric Scraps Into New Fabric – $55.29
  3.  Disappearing 9 Patch Black & White Quilt Tutorial – $44.09
  4.  Watch Me Deconstruct This Christmas Fabric Panel – $31.24
  5. How to Quilt As You Go (QAYG) with Sashing and Self Binding – Sewing Tutorial – $23.48
  6. Easy Crocheted Tote Bag – How to Crochet Tutorial for Beginners – $20.97
  7. Watch What I Do With These Fabric Shreds – $20.14
  8. Homemade 3-Ingredient Neapolitan Ice Cream – Vanilla, Chocolate & Strawberry – $17.75

  10. My Review of the Genie Bra!!! – $15.05 (I can’t believe this 4.5 year old video made the Top 10… WTF?)

Total earned from these 10 videos in one week is $306.77. Up by a bit from last week, but still very low.  I’m convinced that July is just going to suck. In a way, I’m relieved about that.  I don’t feel the pressure to try and beat my June earnings. There is no way I could at this point unless I end up with one hell of a viral video. lol 

As it stands, I’m on target to earn $1,200 LESS in July than in June.  That’s how much things can fluctuate.  I still have time to lessen that gap, but again, I’m good with whatever. I will just focus on recording what I feel like recording for July and not what I think youtube wants me to record. 

Thank you to everyone who watches my videos!  Subscribe to this blog so you can follow this series and see how I do!

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.


Please remember that I don’t eat this stuff so I did not make this recipe. I’m just posting so you can try it!

INGREDIENTS:
1 lb ground sausage (, italian, , your choice)
2 cups (8 oz)
1 can (8 oz)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

DIRECTIONS:

1:  Heat oven to 375°F. Line 15x10x1-inch baking sheet with foil.  Spray foil with cooking spray.

2:  Mix sausage and cheese in a large bowl using hands or spoon.

3:  Unroll crescent dough on work surface.  Coat each side of dough with 1 tablespoon flour. Cut dough into very small pieces, about 1/4-inches each, using a pizza cutter or knife. Tip: cut 1/4 inch strips in one direction then 1/4 in pieces by cutting in the other direction.

4:  Mix crescent dough pieces into bowl of sausage mixture in small amounts until well blended.

Darlene’s Tips:  You can add seasonings of your choice or buy seasoned sausage. Add as much flour as needed to dust the crescent dough so the pieces you cut do not stick together. You could also use .  If some stick, no biggie. Try serving these with spaghetti for a different kind of spaghetti and meatball dinner! You can also use any shredded cheese. Ground beef instead of sausage or a mix of both would work too.
