Spring Fresh Green Beans from your freezer

Ahh...spring.  I just love that smell of fresh air.  I also love garden fresh vegetables.  Obviously it's too early for vegetables in the back yard, but I made these green beans the other day, and they hit the spot.

Ingredients:
8 Oz Frozen Green beans
Bacon Drippings
3 Tsp Brown Sugar
Pinch of Salt

Directions:
Add frozen green beans to a tbsp or so of bacon drippings.  Cover and let it heat up for 5 Minutes.  Then add sugar and salt.  Pepper is optional.  Uncover and saute until cooked through.

Spring starts Tomorrow!
I've already been to a garage sale, I can't believe they were already ready.  I got a purse for $1.  Super cute.  I went about transferring my things over, only to find 7 Pens & 3 Pencils, not to mention old receipts and bags of snacks for the little one.  Anyone else collect so many of one thing? and not even know it?

Happy Spring to you!

Reversible Pinafore Shirt for a Toddler

I saw this cute Pinafore dress made for 6-12 month babes.  The lady made the pattern but was using the dress as a shirt for her toddler girl.

I tried it, and it is an easy pattern.  However I do wonder if it printed at 111% instead of 100%.  She said there was an issue with it, and this fits my almost 2 year old perfect, even almost as a dress.  Matched with some cute leggings this thing is super cute.

I used fabric I had on hand.  I think I will make a pattern for a regular top without the pinafore back to save on fabric and extra long stitching. 

You can find the pattern here.

Dinner tonight?

Honey Roasted Potatoes

Do you have a vice? or something you adore to do? If I had to name a couple, it would be cooking + sewing.  I don't mind the dunkin donuts run either.  That place just smells like happiness. You?


Ingredients:
4 Medium Potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 Tbsp Honey
Pepper, to taste
1 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
2 Tbsp Olive Oil

Directions: 
Preheat oven to 375 F Degrees.  Mix honey, pepper, Dijon mustard and Olive oil in a bowl.  Using a whisk works well.  Then add potatoes and mix all together.  Spray non stick spray on your baking pan, and add potatoes.  Bake for 30-35 Minutes, until fork tender. We had it with fish sandwiches and corn.  Very nice flavor.

Enjoy your weekend!
