Menu Planning Monday - 11 Sh'vat

 Last week, I over planned our food and we ended up eating many leftovers and not cooking as much as I had thought.  The stuffed squash was a lose and will not be repeated.  The peppermint patties were fun to make and delicious to eat.  We did not get to the sesame chicken so it is on our menu again.  It is a short week for us as we head out of town early Thursday morning. 

Sunday -  Tacos, yellow rice and beans and carrot sticks.
Monday - Pizza and salad (sauce is already in the fridge)
Tuesday - Honey Sesame Chicken, Rice and Broccoli
Wednesday - leftovers (clean out the fridge)

Food for the road-
Cinnamon Rolls
Truffles
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Cheese and crackers
pretzels
trail mix (need to make more)

WFMW - Sewing Machine

Image
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
