Progress

I'm not making much of it, but here are some updates.

More squares for top secret project.

Neck of shirt...needs to be seam-ripped and restarted as well. This shirt will never end. And the sad part is that if I dedicated a night to it, I could get really far, I just have too many things to do.

Amazing finds at Wal-Mart: Floral Ikat - 2.5 yards for $11 and 3 yards of wacky, VERY stretchy knit for something like $6. I can't wait to start on these...I must stop buying fabric until I finish that stupid plaid shirt though. That shirt should have just been a pair of shorts. Boo.

I also made this Brown Butter Banana Bread only I used blueberries instead of strawberries and it turned out very nicely.

Oh Blessed Friday

I'm not sure why I care so much about Friday today. I haven't worked very hard this week on anything besides staying sane. I won't really be kicking back this Friday because I've sort of done that all week.

Truth is, I haven't felt too creative this week outside of my freelance work. I'm hoping I had a good break to start in and get a few projects done this weekend.

I did bake though. I made these Cheddar and Black Pepper Biscuits and served my husband breakfast for dinner. Huzzah!

Don't forget about my giveaway either...

I also turned one of my husband's old shirts into a cute tank top that I then promptly wore out to meet friends. But not before I also whipped up a prototype for a wallet. (photo of shirt "before" is after I cut the neckline. oops.)

Simple, not super great but I love the stripes.

Have a great weekend!!!

Recipe: Mushroom Sauce

It's not the most attractive sauce, but it is delicious on rice, chicken, noodles, whatever.

2 cups mushrooms
1 cup spinach
1/2 tbl. worcestershire sauce
1 tbl agave nectar
salt/pepper/garlic to taste

Puree and enjoy! Can be cold or hot.

Recipe: Sauteed Cabbage with Bacon and Peppers

This is the way my man likes his veggies: cooked with bacon. Got this one from my 20-minute recipe cookbook and added the peppers. All you do is all all the ingredients and saute until the cabbage is tender.

2 cups chopped cabbage

1 yellow bell pepper

4 strips of turkey bacon -chopped

garlic, salt, pepper to taste

Recipe: Vodka Red Pepper Pasta Sauce

I haven't bought pasta sauce from the store in a long time. I like to make my own but sometimes even that gets boring. So this time I went wild.

This recipe will make between 3 and 3.5 cups.

10 oz tomato sauce

1 red bell pepper - chopped

half tomato - chopped

3 tsp garlic

2 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

3 tsp italian spice medley

1 tsp rosemary

1 shot vodka

1 tbsp agave

Add everything together and blend. You can heat it up (which will also cook out the alcohol) or just pour right over your slimy little noodles.

Hooray!
