Not really, but aren't these little cookies festive? The recipe was in a magazine I picked up at the grocery store. "America's Test Kitchen's Best Ever Christmas Cookies". I must add these to my repetoire, they are delicious. If you already make this kind of chocolate cookie with a Hershey's Kiss in it, you can […]
I have made a few more Flowering Snowball blocks for the quilt I am making for Eva's Big Girl Bed. Aren't those blocks cool? I love the effect those wild Kaffe Fassett fabrics make. The blocks take very little time to make, maybe 15 minutes or so for each one. I sat down for an […]
Pot Roast and Cherry Pie We had one of those lazy Sundays that hardly ever seem to roll around. Usually I am either packing up the car for a two and half hour drive to see my father, or scheduled to work all day at the shop. This weekend we were all still recovering from […]
Nothing sewing related this week, but I do want to share with you one of my favorite fall dinners. The weather is finally starting to feel nippy and I have regretted not grabbing a sweater or jacket once I have dashed out the door on one errand or another. These two dishes, plus a veggie […]
I saw my sister T this past weekend. We are a bit of a bad influence on one another, I have to say. If I have something new, she wants it and if she has something new, I think I need to have it too. One of her new acquisitions is the cookbook you see […]
I am still tweeking the table scape elements, but I have completed a centerpiece I am pretty excited about. The hardest thing about making this floral arrangment was finding a store that still had good sized pumpkins on hand! I bought two bunches of mixed chrysanthemums and a block of green florist's foam. I used […]
It took no time at all to finish up the Nantucket nine patches. I was all set for hours of stitching, and was pleasantly surprised to get 90 blocks done in a couple of hours. I am going to do what several others are doing, and that is to add eight little star blocks in […]
I totally channeled the Pioneer Woman this weekend. Mother's Day and Sara's birthday fell on the same day, so we did a dual celebration. I have both of Ree Drummond's cookbooks, and have had pretty good success with her recipes. The celebration dinner was at my house, so I elected to make Ree's recipe for […]
I made an awesome potato casserole dish for dinner and wanted to share the recipe, which is from one of the Taste of Home cookbooks. When we were at Buggy Barn this summer for our quilting classes, a local woman who had her own catering company fed us the most incredible lunches each day, and […]
Here is an easy recipe you might enjoy–especially if you have a garden full of zucchini! It is a pretty basic zucchini bread recipe with the addition of blueberries. No nuts in this one, but don't see why you couldn't add them. I ended up with five mini loaf pans, not the four the […]
