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!

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

Enjoy your day!

My Imaginary Snow Day and Sunday Scraps

What do you do on a Snow Day?

I work at home, so I never get a Snow Day.
Sometimes I pretend it is a Snow Day and I bake Mini Banana Muffins in the morning and then I go to work.

Since it snowed, I took photos in the snow!

It is a perfect morning snack for me. Cheese, apples, and mini muffins.

I made Banana Strawberry Chocolate Chip  Muffins. I found the recipe at Food.com.  I substituted strawberry yogurt.

I made a few mini muffins and the rest went into a loaf pan. That way, I could get done faster and get back to work.

I made the round crocheted place mat from cotton scrap strips.

I tore 3/4" strips of fabric. I tied the strips together with a knot.

Using a size K metal crochet hook, I started with a circle of single crochets in the center. 

I worked my way around increasing a single crochet every so often. That way it will not curl up. 

I made the crocheted place mat on Sunday for "Sunday Scraps" and the muffins on Monday for my "Imaginary Snow Day" --- Well it did snow!

Enjoy!

Do You Need a Dish to Pass for a Pot Luck this Weekend?

How about a refreshing Cherry Coke Jello!

 Yes, I ate the first serving of jello!

 Here's the Recipe!

I had to adapt mine a little.  I had a bottle of Cherry Coke instead of a can, so I added less water and the whole bottle.  I didn't have a large Jello, so I used two small boxes.

 I stirred the coke and the jello - it bubbles up and then I added the cherry pie filling.

 Love the way it foamed and bubbled up!

The foam settles down after being chilled in the refrigerator.

Then add the cool whip.  It looks like I used the whole container, but I didn't - just a little over half of it.

This would make a great dish to pass at a potluck this weekend and it was fun and easy to make!

In addition to eating, I plan to sew a Red, White, and Blue Zig Zag Quilt this weekend! The quilt will look great with my jello!

Are you making a Zig Zag Quilt for the Challenge? It is fun and easy to make!

This is a recipe from my Mom.  Thanks Mom!

Enjoy your weekend!
