Menu Monday Jan31-Feb 6 and a giveaway

I love exploring in the kitchen. It is amazing stress relief to me. I have found lots of clever fun ways to help me explore without overwhelming my family or my budget. My latest adventure is claypot cooking. I have been pulling recipes from my new favorite, ClayPot Cookbook, and testing them out. The only problem is I don't have a clay (stoneware) pot to really make the best test. Cookware.com has kindly offered to correct that problem by send me and one lucky winner this looker. I cannot wait to give a good test drive. They have another division that sells stool. Take a look at both and tell me your favorite item to be entered. The drawing will be Sunday Feb 7th at 7pm.

Now for our menu.

Sunday - Frittata and salad
Monday- Froggy/Daddy Date night - Dinner out
Tuesday- Grilled Marinated Venison - This is our experiment for the week. A friend gave us some venison so we are being brave.
Wednesday - Mom and Dad eat at class - Mac and Cheese for Froggy
Thursday- Homemade Pasta Sauce, noodles, garlic bread and salad.
Erev Shabbat - Challah, Roast Chicken, broccoli ( I know we had it last Shabbat but it is Froggy's favorite) Roasted root veggies, peach crisp.
Saturday - Salmon Burgers

    I love the Corningware Creations 4 Piece Casserole Set! It would make a great addition to my adventures in the kitchen! Thanks for the giveaway!
    Your menu sound great. I've been wanting to try Salmon Burgers but I'm not that brave yet. Have a great week!

    I've always wanted some le creuset, so the 7 piece set in cherry would be awesome, but, then, I'd like to buy out the whole store! BTW, the stools link didn't work for me, which is kind of a bummer as I'm actually in the market for a good set of barstools

    I agree with Keli - the Corningware Creations does look interesting. I could always use some servingware that will go from oven to table for Shabbos!

    Enjoy the venison. I had some a long time ago at a fancy NYC restaurant and it was good!!

WFMW - Sewing Machine

What works for me this week is my sewing machine. I am in love with my sewing machine. I have missed it. I have been so busy with my classwork that I have not pulled it out since I finished Froggy's Halloween costume. This week has been a return to normalacy and for me normalcy means sewing. I finished finding m y c raft room on Monday. So yesterday I sewed. I made a skirt for me testing out a new pattern. The pattern is basic and easy with very little fitting. It is not the most flattering of patterns but it supposed to be a plain backdrop for embellishments. I may add a bit of shaping so it is not so full through the hips when I make it again with the embellishments. As soon as the weather dries out, I can go outside and spread out and sandwich together the baby quilts I need to finish up for the new arrivals that are almost here. Come see what works for others at Rocks In My Dryer
