Roasted Garlic Butternut Squash

I wasn't sure what to do with Butternut Squash.  I had never bought any.  This recipe makes a tasty side to lots of dishes.

Ingredients:
2 Tbsp. parsley
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 Cups butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes  

Directions: 
Combine Parsley through Pepper in a bowl and add squash to coat.  Put on a non stick pan and bake for 35-45 Min. at 400 F degrees.  Halfway through toss with a spatula, so they brown evenly.  Pierce with a fork to make sure their done.

Chevron Pillow Covers Tutorial

I Really like the chevron pattern.  I've been trying to find something to make with it. 

I downloaded my pattern from google and traced it onto freezer paper.  I cut it out with an Exacto knife, and ironed it onto my material. 

I used gray acrylic paint on my fabric, and applied it with a foam brush.  I let it dry and then carefully peeled it off so I could do the other pillow. 

I placed a cloth over top the fabric and ironed it for a few seconds to make sure the paint stays when I wash it.  I sewed them up and viola!

I really like how these turned out, and they really add to my living room. 

Here is one of my other painted pillows

I saw it on The Nest and thought I'd make my own.  What design would you copy?

Best Chocolate Chip Cookies I've Ever Made

 

I've made many cookies in my time, though I don't consider myself a baker.  My passion is cooking.  But these cookies were amazing.  I couldn't believe they came out.  You can get the recipe here.  I just made a half batch.  In this recipe you add water to the baking soda, and then add it to your mixture. 

What are your plans for the holidays?  Are you making food or desserts?
