Food Links
Posted in RamblingI am not going to put up a whole long post this morning but thought I'd share a couple of excellent food blogs that I have been frequenting of late. Then y'all can share in the tasty goodness.
First off, we had this for breakfast this morning and everyone enjoyed it. It does require a bit of advanced planning but then it's all hands off and just enjoy it in the morning when your brain is perhaps not at its best. Kimi's blog is great and full of practical ideas and recipes for getting nourishing food into your diet on a regular basis.
Then there's this scrumptious little number, which I made last night. Honey and I ate two each, in the name of not dirtying a plate and fork for just one little lemon bar. That would be wasteful. I haven't checked out the rest of that blog yet but the recipe was too good not to share. The only change I made was the type of oil used in the crust. I don't use canola oil so I used olive oil but in the future will probably go with melted butter.
Finally, I have been greatly benefited from this gem: Crunchy Procrastinating Perfectionist Keep going through her pages further back. The front page is full of recipes today but there's much more than recipes here! I can't wait to serve up her teriyaki salmon cakes since teriyaki and salmon are two of this family's favorite words. Also check out her weekly menu plans (for all 3 meals!) and stay tuned for a 3 week newborn-baby-in-the-house menu plan. I hope we'll need that at some point in the future.
And now I am off to put together the last of my quilt blocks for the swap over at Teresa's place. Ok, who am I kidding? I am off to make all of the quilt blocks. But I do have the fabrics all picked out. They're not ironed or anything but they're all on the cutting table. That's a start, right? I have the added advantage of living less than 5 miles from Teresa and Chas :D
Once the quilt blocks are done I get to move on to the project I am really looking forward to- cleaning out the big shed. I know that sounds crazy but I am really itching to get that thing straightened up. I think it's because of all the work I did yesterday in front of the house- like the FlyLady's shiny sink theory, now I want the whole outside to sparkle like those mums and that pumpkin :D
Have a blessed day!!

I can't wait to see your quilt blocks, since I am in the swap as well. Mine are done. I chose something super simple, but changed my plans about 6 times before finally finishing them. LMSO
Thanks for all the links to some wonderful pages!!
God's Blessings,

So you'd rather clean a shed than make the blocks? lol. It seems we all would! Quilters are just a bunch of procrastinaters, that's all there is to it! lol. Jamey's working in WV, so I'm leaving for WV for a month this weekend, so I have to finish my blocks by this weekend! Have fun. I look forward to seeing your finished blocks!
