What's for Dinner Tonight?

It's the second day of May and it's still cold in Wisconsin.  I have the heat up and I am turning the oven on!

I want time to play in May. I want to sew for more than 5 minutes at the end of my day, so I am roasting some Dilly Beef.  

It's a simple recipe and I will serve it on hamburger buns tonight with a side salad. 

I say I don't cook, but I really do cook, but it has to be easy!

The recipe can be found on my Lunch looks like a quilt to me Blog.

You can use any kind of pickles.  Today, I used the end of 2 jars of pickles.  One was a sweet dill pickle with the dill, onion, and garlic pieces and the other one was hamburger pickles. Lots of juice and not very many pickles, but that is ok. It's the juice that we need anyway!

You can season it with your favorite seasonings. I add Mrs. Dash Garlic seasoning and a little salt and pepper.

The recipe I shared over on my food blog was a full jar of pickles!

Check it out here: Dilly Beef

What do you fix, that is quick and easy for dinner, on a cold day?

Enjoy your day!

May for Me!

Starting today, I will be sporadically sharing posts about the May for Me Celebration and how I find 5 minutes a day or more to take time to create and make you smile.  

I will be sharing here and on Instagram and on facebook and on Twitter and on Pinterest! Join in the fun of sharing about creating 5 minutes or more a day for a whole month!

Creating with fabric (simple sewing and quilting), creating with paper, making healthy food choices and displaying it on your plate, creating with plants, and more....

Several years ago, I teamed up with a few bloggers and hosted a May for Me Celebration on my blog, but after hosting it for a couple years, I decided to discontinue hosting as it was a lot of work for me and I wasn't enjoying it.

This is the logo I used for it.

I was sharing how to take time for yourself and not feel guilty about enjoying the moments or smelling the roses, or just taking time to play each day - just for 5 minutes or longer. 

I will be doing it again, but on a smaller scale and I might share every day and I might share several posts a day and I may skip a day or too! #mayforme2017

I would like to invite you to join in on the fun, please hashtag your posts on social media with this:  #mayforme2017

It is so important to me, to take time to create a little each day....makes me smile.

I love to smile each day and to feel good, so join in the fun and take time to create and share a post about what you are doing.

Let's start off the May for Me Celebration with a FREE PDF Downloadable Pattern for you!  If you are regular follower you may already have this pattern. It's not just for Valentine's Day!

I scaled it down on my printer and made a mini quilt for a loved one and included it with a sympathy card. I selected some hand dyed velvet pieces to add in with a few embroidery stitches to top it off.

Enjoy your day --- the first day in May!
