Free Pattern: Bubble Washcloth

Originally, when I started yarn crafting, I only knew how to crochet. As I started searching for things to make, I started seeing so many great hats, and sweater patterns that were knit. This led me on a journey to learn how to do both. After completing my first knit project (a winter hat), I realized how much I enjoyed both crocheting and knitting. They each have their positives and negatives. Knitting brings a cleanness to things. Crochet has a different look and feel. It also offers different heights in its stitches. Both can bring great texture to a design.

Recipe: Summertime Pasta Salad

I’m excited to share my latest take on pasta salad. This version is a simple and easy pasta salad that can be changed up to what you have on hand, making it a recipe for “Whatcha’ got in Your Fridge/Pantry”. This one I made to go with our BLTs. My eldest is not a pasta salad fan and even she ate this one (even the next day for lunch). This one can be changed a million ways, you can change the type of pasta, the meat, and the veggies. this is just what I wanted to use because I have leftover ham and broccoli.

Pizza Pasta Bake

I don’t know about you, but I have 2 major loves (other than Chinese food), Pizza and Pasta. So today I’m sharing my perfect mash-up, a pizza-inspired pasta bake, perfect for meal planning and great for those of you that need to make things ahead of time and then shove it into the oven while homework is being done, and boots are being cleaned off! I actually made this recipe back in 2016 when my blog was a side thought and I had recently had my third child, MJ as a way to sneak veggies into my son’s diet. Back in 2016, he was PICKY. Thankfully, that is no longer the case.

Canning things I’ve learned… so Far

There are some many website with different ways to can, what is OK and what is not and it gets a bit over whelming. Thankfully, I have friends who can, so I was able to ask them and weed out some of the ridiculous things from the internet. At this point, all I have really canned is tomatoes and jam but I’m hoping to do more now that I have a pressure cooker. Until then… Here are some things I have learned so far about canning:

Peach Cobbler

This is the ONLY recipe I was able to get from my grandmother (my mom’s mom) herself. This is the very recipe she used for my mother every year for her birthday. The only issue… when I talked to my grandmother and got all the ingredients, but she didn’t give me measurements. She told me what she used, and what to look for as I was slowly adding in things. So this was interesting to figure out to say the least. I like to have at least an idea of what the measurements are.
