Five months ago, I started uploading a quilt video every Saturday night. I didn’t miss a beat, even when I traveled. There are two reasons I wanted to do this.
- I would be encouraged to make a new quilt (or continue a quilt series) so I’d have steady content every weekend.
- I wanted to test that weekend schedule to see how those videos would perform in youtube’s analytics.
After five months, I feel I’ve done enough to satisfy both my reasons for why I put that task on my schedule (I’m practicing enoughability, which I talk about in this post).
Yes, I’ve proven over and over again that I can provide content on a regular basis. I think over 2,000 videos in 5.5 years speaks for itself. lol
I’ve also discovered that those videos are not performing as well as I’d like inside the youtube analytics. I honestly think that uploading on a Saturday night is not the best time to upload. I seem to do better with random uploads during the week… except for fabric unboxings.
Fabric unboxings seem to suck for me no matter what. They simply don’t pay well at all. It might be time to pull the plug on those for the overall health of my channel. Still thinking about that.
I will still be making the quilts along with designing quilt patterns. I simply will not have a scheduled night. It’s going to be whenever I want and as often as I want. I gave it 5 months to learn if it would work for me… and that is enough.

INGREDIENTS
1 roll Pillsbury refrigerated sugar cookies
2 tablespoons liquid (any flavor juice or water)
2 eggs
(see my tips below)
DIRECTIONS:
1: Heat oven to 350°F. Place paper baking cup in each of 12 regular-size muffin cups. Let cookie dough stand at room temperature for 10 minutes.
2: Break up cookie dough in large bowl. Add the liquid of your choice and eggs. Beat mixture with electric mixer on medium speed just until blended. Spoon into baking cups.
3: Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cupcake comes out clean. Remove cupcakes from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes. Frost as desired.
Darlene’s Tips: If you want more flavor, add a few drops of extract to the liquid of your choice, especially if using water. I bet you could make this with other cookie dough flavors too, so experiment!

Below is a list of my Top 10 most viewed videos for the week of 3/16/20 – 3/22/20. If you have not seen them all, now is a great time to binge watch!
I’m in a youtube slump. And what I mean by slump is that it’s looking like I might earn less for March than I did in February. I like to grow, not take steps back! But that’s just how it goes sometimes. There will be plenty of new steps forward.

INGREDIENTS
1 carton (32 oz) chicken broth (4 cups)
1 1/2 cups chopped onions
5 cups diced peeled russet potatoes (about 5 medium)
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups shredded American cheese (8 oz)
optional: green onions for garnish
(see my tips below)
DIRECTIONS:
1: Spray 3 1/2 to 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray.
2: Reserve 1/4 cup broth in small bowl, cover and refrigerate. Mix onions, potatoes and remaining broth in slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low heat setting 8 hours.
3: Increase heat setting to High. In small bowl, beat cornstarch and reserved broth until smooth. Add to cooker and stir. Cover and heat to simmering and cook an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until thickened.
4: Stir in cheese until well melted. Sprinkle servings of soup with green onions if desired.
Darlene’s Tips: You can add a cup of any canned or frozen vegetables to this soup. You do not have to shred the american cheese. Just buy slices and rip them into pieces when adding to the soup. You can also try topping with bacon bits and/or croutons before serving. No croutons? Pieces of toasted bread will work.

INGREDIENTS
1 refrigerated pie crust, softened as directed on box (see my tips below)
1 box (4-serving size) strawberry-flavored gelatin
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup boiling water
1 container (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
optional: 8 fresh strawberry halves for garnish
(see my tips below)
DIRECTIONS:
1: Heat oven to 450°F. Make pie crust as directed on box for One-Crust Baked Shell using 9-inch glass pie pan. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
2: Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mix gelatin, sugar and 1/2 cup boiling water until gelatin is dissolved. Refrigerate until mixture just begins to thicken and get syrupy, 10 to 15 minutes.
3: Stir whipped topping into gelatin mixture until well blended. Fold in sliced strawberries. Spoon into cooled baked shell. Arrange strawberry halves around outer edge of pie of desired.
4: Refrigerate at least 2 hours or until serving time. Store in refrigerator.
Darlene’s Tips: You can make this super easy by using a ready-made graham cracker crusts. You can even skip the crusts and just scoop this creamy gelatin mix into individual bowls. Try this with different flavors of gelatin and various berries or fruit. You could also skip the fruit and just make the creamy gelatin. You probably don’t even need that extra sugar. Gelatin is sweet enough.
