What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I've had to crack a window in the living area this morning. This at the risk of letting in the below freezing air outside that put frost on my pumpkin this morning. 

 I also enjoy picking up sticks on my walks, ones just right for stage two of layering up the perfect fire. This is about the only thing I ...

 Hello again, we are finishing off another busy week. I like to take care of maintenance things- for the car, the house and us, before winter sets in and weather and driving becomes an issue. We both were out of the house every day which seems to make the time fly by extra fast. It always feels good to have checkups behind us.

As a result of all that I didn't get in any daytime stitching, but my nights are still my stitching in front of the tv time.

A few more rows have been crocheted onto my Granny ...

I don’t use the app TikTok. Well, that’s not completely accurate. If my adult kiddos send me something, I will look at or watch it but I don’t seek anything out on my own and don’t even have the app. Recently my son Buck sent me a really good, healthy, and super easy-to-make recipe. I …

I was trying to compile a different cookie post and realized I haven't shared this favorite. I don't know where I found this one - I just have a note on my recipe card that says 2006. It's not from a friend or I would have noted that so it's probably from Taste of Home.We've got a farrier / friend coming by today to shoe a few horses so he gets these today. Least I can do is treat him to cookies

I found this recipe online a few years ago HERE and it became an instant favorite. I bake a lot of cookies around here. When you're on the go, portable snacks come in handy and even though we live 25 miles from town (in fact this is the closest we've lived to town since we married in 1987), seems like a lot of folks end up at the end of the dirt road.

Welcome to another post where I share more of the tiny bits that make up my days.

 I was delighted to capture these two juvenile robins taking a bath...perhaps their very  first, in our little pond. First week in October

Kelli had a family get-together not too long ago and had to make a dish to share. Kelli and I both love salads but don’t make them that often at home because we end up being the only people who are eating them. The problem is that so many salads get mushy or don’t last …

Kelli was in a putzy kind of baking mood so she made a batch of Gingerbread Cake Balls. I think this time of year rolls around and many of us are looking for something that is pumpkin spice flavored and this hit the the spot for Kelli. Kelli writes:“Cook 2 boxes of spiced cake mix …

I haven’t posted a recipe in a while! This is not traditional Texas-style chili, but it’s good! I had a package of HEB turkey chili in the freezer that I decided I needed to use, so I thawed it out with no clue what I was going to do with it. I had canned tomatoes, and a yellow bell pepper I wanted to use, so I decided on chili.

The best part? It’s low fat and weight watcher friendly. I calculated it to be about 3 points for a fairly generous serving. Maybe even lower considering the ...

Oh, my word…if you’re ready for the best eating ever, I have the recipe…well kind of a recipe…for you!! This is my usual recipe with no real recipe kind of post but let that worry you. It always is AMAZING! Everyone in the family who has had it loves it and asks for it often …

I think I might have written this recipe out for all of you before but if I did, it was years ago and these are SO-SO good that they deserve to be spotlighted again. The recipe is called German Apple Rolls. I’ve been making them for years. If you are local to my area, the …

I’ve told you in previous blog posts that Carla of Longarm Quilting Inspirations and I are friends. We often walk our dogs here in town. Carla has a beautiful Australian Shepherd named Luna. I have my two, my beagle Gracie and my Aussiedoodle Izzy. Carla and I often share garden produce, quilt books, canning equipment, …

I only had 4 extras to feed the other day so I poured some chips into a bowl, made salsa, guacamole, queso, and this Taco Pizza. I've made this for us before, but never for a crew. They went back for seconds and still had room for apple pie and ice cream for dessert before they rolled back out the door. I guess pizza is always a hit and this is a fun variation on traditional pizza. I made 2

I haven't been doing a lot of baking lately. In fact, truth be told, I haven't been doing ANY baking lately. It's been over 100° every single day, for months now and  heating up the kitchen has been at the top of my daily not-to-do list. We've grilled and smoked A LOT. I did make Buckaroo Bundles when we had company, but that was an exception. But on Saturday, at 5 a.m., I caved. I made these

The other day I was sitting at the computer and Kelli sent me a reel for Dump and Bake Manicotti. It looked interesting. I am going to try to link it HERE. It’s a quick reel that shows how the gal made the recipe. I was excited about the recipe. It looked so easy with… Read More »What Kelli is Making: Dump and Bake Manicotti

If you are like me, you have zucchini coming out of your ears…and all of your sources to give zucchini away to have dried up. Have no fear…I have rounded up all the recipes on the blog that use zucchini so hopefully you find one…or two to try. I am listing them in no particular… Read More »Zucchini Round Up

My zucchini plants are very busy. Try as I might to hand them out to unsuspecting soles, I still have an abundance. I’ve been eating zucchini most days for quite some time now. There just comes a time that a person had to become creative and come up with other ways to eat it rather… Read More »Mexican Fried Zucchini

Hi, it's me, Augie. I'm growing up fast, I'll be ten months old on Sunday. I'm having good success in Mom Training classes, she thinks that she's the one in charge and that she's training me but we all know who's the boss. She and Dad are still very busy in the kitchen every day. He with getting the cabinetry all fitted and Mom with trying out the new appliances and testing new (to her) recipes;

Our family has a message group on Messenger. We use it a lot. We send goofy pictures of the kids, and dogs, and videos of them too. We write about something we’re getting rid of offering to anyone who wants it. We write about workplace woes, happy news, and just about everything else. Recently there… Read More »Instant Pot Mac and Cheese
