"When life gives you scraps, make a quilt."
"Quilting is a scrap of happiness."
We learned several different methods of making scrappy quilts at quilt guild last week. I am so inspired to try one of these techniques.
We're in the middle of painting a bedroom and I was motivated to redo one of our old kitchen chairs to match the new bedroom. Here are the before and after photos.
April is winding down and May is on it's way. Here are two recipes that could be used for Cinco de Mayo. Crystal brought this salsa recipe to quilt guild in March. It's so good!
Cowboy Caviar Salsa
2 cans diced tomatoes with green chilies
1 can black eyed peas
1 can black beans
1 can corn
(Drain all cans.)
green onions
cilantro, diced
2 avocados, chunked
8 oz. Italian dressing
Mix and enjoy with chips.
(Place one avocado pit in mixture and they won't turn brown.)
Pork Tacos
4-5 boneless pork loin chops 8 small corn or whole grain tortillas
2 Tbsp. olive oil 1
cup shredded romaine lettuce
1 Tbsp. lime juice red
onions, thinly sliced
½ tsp. oregano cilantro
1 Tbsp. soy sauce pico
de gallo or salsa
½ tsp. smoky paprika sour
cream
½ tsp. chili powder sliced
olives
½ tsp. garlic powder sliced
radishes
¼ tsp. salt grated cheese
Thinly
slice pork chops into strips. Whisk next
8 ingredients together and add pork strips to marinate for 20 minutes. Spray frying pan with non-stick cooking spray
and saute pork for 4 or 5 minutes or until no longer pink. Fill warm tortillas with pork mixture,
romaine lettuce, red onions, pico de gallo, sour cream, sliced olives,
sliced radishes and grated cheese. Serves 4.
