Cranberry Yogurt Facial Mask for Dry Dull Skin

One of my favorite homemade facial masks to make for brightening up my dry dull skin is my cranberry yogurt facial mask. This homemade facial mask really helps make my skin look brighter and feel a whole lot softer with just one use. 

The ingredients you will need to make my facial mask are ½ cup of cranberry sauce, ½ cup of plain yogurt, ¼ cup of honey, and 3 tablespoons of olive oil. If you do not of these ingredients at home you can find them in your local grocery store for under $10 or less. The materials you will need to help you make the mask are 1 wire whisk and 1 small spoon.

The way you make my cranberry yogurt mask is by pouring in your ½ cup of cranberry sauce and yogurt into your small bowl along with your ¼ cup of honey and 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Once you have all the ingredients inside your small bowl you will want to take your wire whisk and mix all these ingredients together until they form a creamy pink slightly thick mask. 

The way I like to apply the mask to my face is by first making sure my face is very cleaned by making sure all the dirt and makeup are removed from it completely. After I like to take a handful of the homemade facial mask and lather it all over my face in a nice thick even layer. Then once the face mask is on my face I like to allow it to stay on for about 20 minutes or longer if you have time to allow this mask to help brighten and soften your dull skin. After I am done with the mask I than like to rinse my face off with warm water and pat it dry and apply my favorite daily facial lotion to help adds some moisture and protection to my face. You will notice after using this facial mask how much brighter your skin looks because of all the vitamins and minerals it received from the cranberry sauce, yogurt, honey, and olive oil.

I do hope those of you who try making my homemade cranberry yogurt facial mask have a very easy time making it. I also hope you have a wonderful time using this homemade facial mask as well as it helps brighten and soften your skin.

Cranberry Orange Meatballs

Cranberry orange marmalade meatballs are sweet tangy and full of juiciness. These meatballs taste delightful over a bed of white rice and fill that hungry tummy of yours right up. Follow the steps below and you can enjoy this dish too. 

Step # 1 Making the Meatballs 

Ingredients for Turkey Meatballs

• 1 Pound of 85% Lean Ground Turkey Burger
• 2 Slices of White Bread Crumbled Up 
• 1 Egg
• ½ Teaspoon of each of these spices Salt, Black Pepper, Garlic Powder and Onion Powder
• Pinch of each of these spices Nutmeg, Cinnamon and Allspice
• Teaspoon of Dried Parsley 

Instruction 

Place the ground turkey burger into a mixing bowl. Crack the egg into it as well. Add in the crumbled up white bread and spices. Mix ingredients together using a mixing machine or with your hands well until you get meatball dough. 

Grease a deep casserole dish with butter and begin making good-sized meatballs with your hands. Make sure all the meatballs are even in size. Place them into the casserole dish two inches apart. You should get about 12 meatballs per pound of ground turkey burger. 

Place a sheet of aluminum foil over the top of the casserole dish to help keep the moisture in so the meatballs stay tender and poke holes through the top so the steam can escape a bit. Bake the meatballs at 350-degrees for 30-minutes. After, remove them from the oven and set them aside. It is time for the next step. 

Step #2 Making the Cranberry Marmalade Glaze 

Ingredients for Glaze 

1 Can of Cranberry Sauce without Whole Cranberries
1 Can of Cranberry Sauce with Whole Cranberries
1 Cup of Orange Marmalade
1 Cup of Pineapple Juice
2 Cups of Chicken Broth
3 Tablespoons of Flour
3 Tablespoons of Butter
Instructions 
Place all the ingredients into a medium sized saucepan and turn the stove burner on medium heat. Allow the cranberry sauces and marmalade to melt down into the broth. You will need to use a whisk and stir the ingredients together to help the cranberry sauce; marmalade and flour dissolve into the broth evenly. You will want to keep stirring the glaze with the whisk until you get a deep pinkish colored glaze with cranberry and orange marmalade bits throughout. As you cook the glaze, it should begin to thicken. As soon as it does remove, it from the stove and it will be ready to pour over the meatballs. You may adjust the ingredients, as you desire. You may also add in a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and salt to help add more flavors, but that is totally up to you. Be creative. 

Step #3 Glazing the Meatballs 

Take the aluminum foil off the meatballs and pour the glaze you just made over them. Then, pop the meatballs into a 350-degree oven for 15-minutes to help the meatballs soak in some of the flavor from the glaze. After, serve the dish up over a bed of white rice. You choose what kind of white rice you so desire. I prefer using the Minute Rice.
