Update and recipes

-
WW meeting this a.m. was good. I didn't WI - for some reason the scale took a very big jump yesterday (although I didn't overeat at all). So - I skipped WI instead of getting myself down. Next week I'll weigh in no matter what !!

Ramadan is coming - so I'll be cooking. The kids sometimes go out to eat with dh at the mosque - so I'll stock up on Lean Cuisene. I usually don't go - as the food tends to be much heavier then I like to eat.

I posted a new recipe - Chocolate Cake with Banana Cream - taken from the new WW dessert cookbook. I'll post a review after we try it (today)

Also will try something with dates - just not sure what yet !!

Menu -

Saturday - Tilapia with coconut panko, rice and corn on the cob

Sunday - Steaks and mashed taters, bbq'd egg plant and salads

Monday - bbq'd chicken thighs, baked taters, string bean casserole

Tuesday - shrimp and pasta with salads

Wednesday - 40 clove chicken in the crock and fresh bread

Thursday - some kind of fish - depending on whats on sale. LOL

Friday - leftovers

Will post more recipes as I come across them, but I wanted to get the week planned out. I seem to do so much better if I have the menu planned. Like I've already figured out my entire food for the day - and I have 3 pts leftover - more if I cut the grass and trim and swim (gotta get those AP's!)

Have a great week all !!!

Design Wall Monday

I am so happy to have something to share this week.  About a month ago, I received some inspiration from another blogger on Design Wall Monday - hosted by Judy at Patchwork Times .  I immediately fell in love with the star quilt that Kate from Life in Pieces   had put together using the pattern from Country Junktion .  I knew immediately that I could use it as the center of a quilt, and finally use those garden maze blocks that were sitting in my UFO pile.  What do you think ? This is the quilt made from the BOM pattern alone This is that same quilt surrounded by my garden maze blocks I started sewing the garden maze blocks together to see how big of a border I will be needing around the star blocks.  Now to figure out if I should border around each block, or just around the outside of the stars - what do you think?

Thanks to Judy at Patchwork Times , I'm encouraged each week to have something new to show on my design floor (most people have a design wall ..... one day when I grow up, I'll have one too !) This week I'm taking out some UFO's from 2 years ago - I love these blocks, I made plenty of them for a wall hanging, but then I just kept making more and more, until I knew I wanted a bed size quilt.  I was going to lay them out in a 5 by 7 blocks, but since these are 9" blocks - and since the blocks I want to make as a border block are 13" blocks - I thought maybe it'd be easier to do 6 by 6 - so I need to make one more of these.  Gotta figure out how to get this block into my EQ program, because this is the block I want to use as a border I was going to make a bunch of these, all with blue star middles, but with different batiks on the outside color.  Of course, I could do THESE blocks for the main part of the quilt and use the others as a border ....  eit...

  A few weeks ago, Judy from Patchwork Times told her readers that there is NO EXCUSE not to learn how to make socks - with You Tube and the internet, it's almost like having someone sitting next to you teaching you. I've tried socks before - no luck. Maybe because I started with sock weight yarn, and it was too fine for my extra large hands?  Either way, my daughter asked me for a pair of warm sock slippers. Why not? Should be easy. I checked what I hand I on hand, found a pattern that seemed doable, and made these - Now of course, pinks/blues are definately not her colors, so after proving to myself that I could do it, I bought a more "her" color (as close to black as I could find) and whipped up these, in just two nights ! So, don't ever give up - cause if I can figure it out, anyone can !  Next week - back to quilting !  To see what others are working on, check out Judy's blog at Patchwork Times !
