Don't these colors just scream summertime?
I visited the little quilt store in our town today and couldn't resist picking up these fabrics.
I've got a few ideas of what I could use them for but haven't decide which idea I like best. I guess I'll ponder over it a little more this weekend and maybe get a plan going.
We are supposed to get a few inches of snow tonight.
Everyone is off work for the weekend so it would be a great time for us to really get "dumped" on. (Wishful thinking huh?)
We just need one *big* snow this season and then I will be more than ready for springtime to arrive. :0)
The other "happening" this weekend is my oldest son's 16th birthday so we'll be enjoying a little cake and ice cream.
Hope you all have a great weekend!
This is one of those recipes that just got tossed together using what ingredients I had on hand. To my surprise it got thumbs up from everyone sitting at the dinner table that night.
Gotta love when that happens!
Chicken & Gravy over Noodles
1 large onion, diced
olive oil
3 lb. chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces
salt & pepper
1 tsp. Cajun seasoning
2/3 cup Sherry cooking wine
2 cups chicken broth
1 can evaporated milk
1 envelope brown gravy mix
any ol' noodles, cooked
Saute onion in a splash of olive oil and then remove them from the pan.
Next brown chicken bites in the same pan that you just sauteed the onions in.
While they are browning sprinkle a little salt & pepper along with the Cajun seasoning.
Once chicken is browned go ahead and toss the onions back into the pan.
Add the Sherry and then using a flat edged spatula or wooden spoon begin scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen any bits that have stuck on.
Add chicken broth and let simmer until chicken is cooked through.
Add evaporated milk and gravy packet.
Stir and cook until thickened.
Serve over hot noodles.
Enjoy!
This is what my kitchen counter has looked like for the past month. A sea of over the counter cold medications, fever reducers, tissues and a few humidifiers that run from morning till night.
I am so sick of the constant hacking cough and snot filled noses that I could just scream. Mine began on New Years Eve as a cold and has turned into a dandy sinus infection. I finally broke down last Monday and called the Dr. to get a prescription to help.
It's working! The pain and sinus pressure that has filled my head for the past month is finally gone. Now if I could only get rid of the nagging cough.
The kids are now passing around a head cold to each other and as of this morning the start of a stomach bug I think.
At this rate I am more than ready for summer to get here.
But I would really like to have just one (at least) *good* snowstorm of the season.
Something like this would be nice.
However with temps. running in the high 40's to low 50's I don't think that's gonna happen anytime soon.
Yesterday we had rain and snow flurries ~ today nothing but sunshine.
It was so nice I figured we'd better go out and take advantage of it so we took a walk around town.
We walked along the main street and window shopped. I tried to take a few pictures but the glare from the sun on the store front windows didn't do so well.
Now we're back and going to spend the rest of a lazy Sunday sewing and watching a little tv.
No doubt the Super Bowl if hubby has the remote.
Have a great Super Bowl Sunday!
