I could have sworn I posted Tuesday. But when I got up in the morning to read my comments from you all, there weren't any. What? Well, I hadn't posted anything for anyone to comment on. I am losing it I tell you. Our governor has issued another strict stay at home order for our […]
Happy Thanksgiving friends. I hope you are all feeling as thankful and blessed as I am. Even though we may not be together this year, I am so grateful for my wonderful family.
I am trying to replicate my son in law's recipe for Butternut Squash Soup. Which is the most delicious soup on the planet. Of course, he doesn't have a recipe. Basically, he told me to roast a halved butternut squash in the oven at 400 until it is soft. First, brush it liberally with butter […]
Every Friday the Fatquarter Shop introduces a new block of the week in their Sewcialites Sew Along. Kimberly Jolly, the force behind FQS has a YouTube tutorial/video every Friday morning. I enjoy watching them because she often mentions items the shop carries, projects that are coming up, new fabric lines to look forward to etc. […]
My Take It Easy jelly roll blocks are coming along. They are pretty mindless to make. All the strips are cut out and I just have to sit there and sew three together. I love listening to audiobooks while I do sewing that doesn't call for much concentration. My current book is quite gothic in […]
There has not been much recipe sharing around here, so I thought I'd show you something I made recently. I thoroughly enjoyed making this Cheesy Leek Galette. It is a Pioneer Woman recipe called Cheesy Asparagus Tart. I don't eat asparagus, so I made some necessary changes to the recipe. It seems pretty forgiving, so […]
I had a great visit with my dad on Saturday and Sunday. I made him soup, his favorite thing to eat. It was so rewarding to see him eat every last bite of it. He has gotten so thin and frail. I suppose that is to be expected at the age of 94. All in […]
I made the most amazing brownie dessert this past weekend. Cherries are in season here, and this recipe for Cherry Garcia Brownies is reason enough to buy a bag of cherries and make these for yourself at home. First of all, the recipe is by Delish and can be found here. One major change I […]
I was struggling a bit with content ideas for today's blog post, and ended up going with exactly what is going on at my house at this point in time. In between reading, a token effort at homeschooling, washing my hair, shopping for leopard print sandals and looking up cherry brownie recipes, I came up […]
This book is everything. It is Slow Cooker: The Best Cookbook Ever by Diane Phillips. And it truly is the best slow cooker cookbook I have ever used. Without a doubt. This slow cooker book has over 400 recipes and I have yet to make one that hasn't been raved about. You won't find many […]
