-A small nest of fresh greens.
They look OK from a distance, but they really bugged us.Also, white houses with dark green shutters are really popular around here and we didn’t want to be “one of the green houses” on our street anymore.. And now here’s how that window looks with new, slightly less fake-looking DIY shutters!.
Just so much nicer, right?.Here’s how we made them in like 5 minutes flat!.Chris picked up some 1×12 rough cut pine.
The roughness of it gives it extra farmhousey appeal!We cut it down into 5″ strips.
You can do any size you like, we just went with a size that would cover up our existing shutters.
We made our shutters 3 boards wide and then put one board across the top and the bottom for a classic look.. Then we clamped them all together and secured it all with a few screws.. We cut a couple of little measury pieces to put up against the top and bottom cross pieces so we could make sure they were the same distance from the ends on both sides.Combine everything except for the last 2 ingredients in your crock pot and turn it on low all day.
Enjoy the delicious scent that reminds you what a great job you’re doing with dinner tonight.About 30 minutes before you’re ready to eat, whisk the 2 tbsp of corn starch into the 1/2 cup of warm water and pour it into your crock pot with the rest of the ingredients.
Serve it with buns, bread, or croissants so you don’t miss out on any of the delicious broth!.Something about the combination or fresh, dried, sweet, salty, and tangy ingredients really make this recipe work out perfectly and keep it from entering into bland, boring, flavorless mush territory.
