In the kitchen:
I have been addicted to the spice CUMIN lately. Today I am making chicken taco salad for dinner. I made homemade corn tortillas and baked them at 350 for 15 minutes to make chips. Then I made this awesome and healthy dressing!
Taco Salad Dressing
1/2 cup low fat sour cream
1/4 cup salsa
1/2 ts cumin
Whisk all ingredients together and eat!!! A 1/4 cup of this dressing only has about 70 calories!!! Yum!
I am also making homemade carrot baby food today! Stay tuned for a tutorial and save a fortune!
On the craft table:
The beginnings of a string quilt! My husband's grandmother showed me a new way of quilting called String Quilting. It is SOOOOO easy. I need to make a tutorial, anyone can do this!!!
The color on the pictures is not great as I am a horrible photographer and pretty much use me iPhone to take all the pictures for me blog... I know, I know.... SORRY!
Anyway, I am naming this quilt "As My Garden Grows". It is a "string" of green with a few dark and lights pinks intermingled! I am making this quilt for my baby girl Kynlee. She is 6 months and growing like a weed. When I saw how the colors were coming out and the name wouldn't leave my head, I couldn't help but to think of her. I love you Kynlee.
And Yes, I am STILL working on Brooky's quilt. I have gotten the rows of squares together, but am having a hard time trimming it square.... a twin sized quilt is HUGE when you aren't used to working with so much fabric!
Love the string quilt idea! And you totally need to put up a tutorial for those of us less experienced quilters.
