Fun Recipes




Organization

With spring in the air and the warm weather here at last I'm drawn outside to work and play. Weeding my flower bed, filling the bird feeders, and enjoying the nice
weather. The cleaning/organizing bug hits me once and a while, usually springtime and so I'm organizing my sewing things. Moving to a new room for the summer so there's no progress in the sewing area, but...... my kitchen actually looks like a kitchen. Table cleared with tablecloth and flowers. Oh yeah, and food I've made with a little more time to focus on baking.

I will also add these to my recipes. They would both be great for a pot luck or cook out. The second once especially would make a great "bake and take".
