This is another super simple summer dinner that we had recently. It took no time at all and was delicious. The dish is called Caprese Chicken and I found it on the Delish website. Here's what you need to make it:Two boneless chicken breasts, cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil, balsamic vinegar, and some garlic. Making […]
As I have mentioned, it has been dreadfully hot where I live. Consequently, we have been eating a lot lighter lately. This week I tried out a dish for Chicken in Lettuce Wraps, which was delicious. It is a copycat recipe of the amazing dish served at PF Changs. It is made with ground chicken […]
This one quilt block is the only one I have managed to make this week. But here it is. The block is Butter Churn from Lori Holt's Farm Girl Vintage book. It is the 12-inch block from Week Six of Lori's Red Sampler Sew Along. I didn't have her exact fabrics but came as close […]
Hope you all had a lovely weekend. Mine started last Thursday and lasted through Sunday. It was my birthday yesterday and I seemed to have started the celebration early. My daughter and her husband came over yesterday for a barbeque and I rounded out the meal with a mushroom leek tart. It was so easy […]
With all I have going on at the moment, I have been trying to think of something, anything, that would make things a bit easier. Ten years ago, when my daughter Sara was pregnant with Eva, we got together a couple of times and made freezer meals. The idea was, she would stock up her […]
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 […]
