More t-shirt yarn

Just raided the t-shirt drawer to make more yarn. Any ideas for what I should make?

Here’s my list of projects so far:

1. Tote
2. set of multi-colored coasters

I guess you could say it’s a short list?

Meal of the Week 15: P.F. Changs Knock off Chicken Lettuce Wraps with Sauces

We found a great recipe a couple of weeks ago on theculinarylife.com for knock off P.F. Changs Chicken Lettuce wraps. The sauces have a lot of sugar in them but they were well worth the extra time and effort because they were SOOoooo scrumptious! This is my favorite thing to order when we go to P.F. Changs so it makes me super excited that we can make it at home now… And did I mention that my Mr. is a super sauce fan? Oh yes. This one saturates you with sauce, leaves your belly happy and tantalizes your tongue with that fabulous eat out taste right at home. Enjoy!

T-shirt yarn experiment

This is my first time trying to make t-shirt yarn to crochet with! I found this lovely tutorial HERE and it was perfect!

Now if I could only find my crochet hooks I would be able to get to work! AHHh! Where could they be?

Meal of the Week 14: One of a kind Pancakes

Here’s a recipe that I got from a local friend of mine here in Seattle:

Nan’s Protein packed Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 16oz Cottage Cheese
• 6 eggs
• 6 heaping table spoons of flour
• 1/4 cup oil

Method:

• Mix all the ingredients in the blender. Then cook like regular pancakes.

Tips: This recipe is actually best if you let the pancakes cool before eating them. If you eat them right off the pan they tend to be a bit gooey from the cottage cheese. So make the recipe and then share them for a nice family breakfast. This recipe makes enough to serve 3 people.

Café con leche

I swear that two years ago when I looked online for free crochet tutorials/patterns there were like 4. Literally – a lady bug, an octopus, and um… yeah. AND there were no pictures! Well ladies and gents, the internet is providing more and more interesting and free awesomeness right at your fingertips. Here’s my latest creation, courtesy of Ana Paula’s free pattern.


Oh and there’s more fun projects and links in crochet on the way – including the first pattern I’m writing! Stayed tuned for more yarn-o-licious fun!

Meal of the Week 13: Kale Chips

Snack Attack!!! How am I so late in discovering this vitamin filled amazingness??

So I totally burned my first batch and I undercooked the second, but I think the third time will be the charm.... if I can eat any more? (and I haven't even had dinner yet ooops).

Here's a link to the recipe I used:




 
I also used the pre-washed pre-cut ready to cook Kale from Trader Joe's so the time to make is LITERALLY cook time plus 1 min.

Yum. Just Yum. Thanks internet for another great recipe.
