A New Look
You may have noticed a few changes around here. We’re not done yet! We still have lots of good improvements coming in the next few days. We’ll give you a tour next week. 
I love the new look, and I am REALLY excited about Scrap Busters month.
Very cool design! So easy to move around in. WHoo-hoo!
Great new look! I’m planning on pancakes with fresh strawberies!
On sunday we are making carne asada. The best type of meat out there. I’m so excited.
It’s fall and the weather is already getting quite chilly here. We’ll be enjoying some roasted rosemary beets to help warm us up this weekend!
Really liking all the newness so far – can’t wait to see it all!
The new look is fab and it’s easier to find things. Curious as to what everybody is going to make with their scraps too.
I’m going to make something called an impossible pie. When it’s baked the mixture forms a pastry shell, egg custard filling and coconut topping but it’s all mixed up together in the same bowl! It’s a recipe that my mum found. Neither of us has cooked it yet. It might be nice or it might be a flop-who knows? I will show it, and the recipe on my blog when it’s made;-) Happy cooking/eating everybody. x
Ooooh!! Scrapbusters month! I’m loving it! Maybe I can get my act together and post something fabulous…
And I plan to make delicious Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. mmm…no better way to kick off the fall season.
Love the new look.
Chorizo sausage sliced, tin of 4 bean mix, red onion, tin of tomatoes, crushed garlic to taste. Cook onion, garlic and sausage, add beans and tomato and cook until liquid reduces.
Serve with crusty bread, a great Saturday lunch.
I plan on using up the last of my courgettes in a wonderful cake. Sounds weird tastes fantastic!
I would love to do a scrap busters tutorial, but as I Am very much at the beginning stages it is a case of watching everyone elses while I build up my scraps!
Jen
I plan on eating tri-tip sandwiches this weekend. Yum.
Sadly I don’t have enough scraps to make anything yet. So I’ll have to pass on the tutorial.
I do plan on baking a yummy lemon “1-2-3″ yogurt spongecake, and of course eat some of it!
It’s my boyfriend’s birthday on Saturday, and I asked him what he wanted to have for dinner – so we’ll be eating tofu chilli burritos with sour cream, followed by birthday lemon drizzle cake!
Cooking? Sweet potato and chickpea curry. Eating? Whatever delight my eight year old boy decides he will be creating this weekend.
So excited about Scrap Busters month too!
I’m going to be staying at a B&B this weekend so I’m looking forward to a nice, relaxing breakfast cooked by someone else!
I will be making wheat tortillas. We love homemade ones!! Now we just have to figure out what to put in them
I so need to think of something to get shot of these bags of scraps. and we are having left-overs (food scraps!) for dinner, last nights pasta mixed with some spinach and onion, then add to 6 eggs and a dash of milk, bake like a quiche until cooked all through – don’t knock it until you try it.
I made a fruit cake last night. I am looking forward to spending the weekend in Snowdonia walking and eating fruit cake – perfect for cold wet walks in Wales. It’s got all kinds of good things in it: almonds, raisins, currants, sultanas and best of all, glace cherries.
I’m going to be making chocolate muffins with feta cheese in them this weekend! Divine!
Mmmm. I plan on making chocolate caramel crackers – simple ingredients: saltine crackers, butter, brown sugar, and chocolate… AWESOME taste!!!
We are headed to the beach for a week so I don’t plan to cook much, but to eat some really good seafood.
This week-end I am making a batch of mustard pickles to use up some of the cucumbers that are growing profusely in my garden. I am sure I will also be eating a lot of cucumber salads & sandwiches – we’ve had frost the past two mornings so I need to enjoy them while I can. Can’t wait to hear all the scrap-busting ideas!
I’ve just gotten the hummingbird bakery cook book and it klooks fantastic – can’t wait to try the raspberry cheesecake brownie recipe – it looks so good!
Love Love Love the new look! and YEY cause I voted for scrap busters! In preparation for said month, I plan on cleaning up my studio this weekend so I can get to the sewing machine… many little things to make…And a quilt to bind… and an outfit for a wedding in 3 weeks… I need to stay home from work so I can get all this play done!
Well, since I just recently moved to France there are an endless number of delicious things I may eat this weekend! I love the fresh baguettes everyday and the delectable tarts. I may try reading my new French cookies cookbook and make something sweet! Or, I may just walk to the patisserie!
Zucanoes! Baked zucchini with bread crumbs and cheese!
Oooooh scraps, my scrap bin is overflowing, I can’t wait!
This weekend I’m wrapping pear slices in proscuitto and broiling then serving on a bed of baby greens with dried cranberries, walnuts, herbed feta, and thinly sliced red bell peppers. Yum!
I’m really bad about buying tofu, meaning to eat it, and then it sits in my fridge for ages and I eventually have to toss it. I’m on a quest to actually use it this weekend- I think I’ll prepare it with eggplant and attempt an Asian-garlic sauce to go with. Great new look!
The new look threw me off at first, I had to check that I really was on sew mama sew! I was going to make a delicious roast beef dinner this weekend, but I forgot to buy roast beef so….we are having hot dogs tomorrow night! Probably frozen pizza on Sunday. Oh, I know, I am making Cream Cheese Potato Soup on Saturday.
MMMMM, it’s fall festival weekend here in northern VT, so we’ll be eating LOTS of fresh apples, cider donuts and cider. I can’t get enough! (Oh, and apple pie made with our pickings!)

Oh yay! I really really really NEED to do something about the 3 totes I have of scraps! I even have Ideas. (whew!)
This whole week has been delicious cooking, Monday it was peanut butter fudge in my mother in law’s recipe. Tues was Tapioca Pudding. Wednesday was homemade cheese enchilada’s, Thursday was 2 kinds of bread, my normal GF bread and GF raisin bread (in which I accidentally added orange essence instead of vanilla and it was a delicious mistake). This weekend we’re having a cookout at a friends house and they’ve requested my egg rolls. This means I need to get to dicing and chopping and get about 150 egg rolls made for them to fry up!
I love the new look, especially the fabric background image!
I’m planning on making homemade, wholewheat pizza this weekend – yum!
My husband (the cook of the family) made homemade marinara sauce from our home grown tomatoes. Can’t wait to taste it!
Sunday Supper chez Houston this weekend will consist of Texas Chili (with fresh ingredients from the organic Sunday market) and crusty bread. If we can’t watch football over here, at least we can channel the spirit of it!!
The blog looks great! Excited to see what else is in store.
I love to make more blueberry bread this weekend! I like the new look!
Mmmm… since it’s started to rain here in Lisbon, I guess I’m stay home and bake (and sew of course). maybe some cookies from the M.S. Baking book?
Happy weekend to you!

This week I’m making a spinach and feta frittata with roasted, herb crusted tomatoes on the side.
My MIL is a GREAT cook and this weekend we’re planning on making “carnes en su jugo” translated: Meats in their juices (sounds awful but its sooooo tasty!). Its basically thinly sliced meat sauteed, with the addition of carmelized pearl onions, crispy bacon, pinto beans and cilantro. I don’t know why but I’m already salivating! Can’t wait!!

It will be a great meal! Have a great weekend and thank you for all your hard work! Blessings!
I’ve got a few blueberries and a couple bananas in the freezer, so I will be making this blueberry-banana bread recipe again. http://theneatery.wordpress.com/2009/07/17/berries-of-the-blue-black-and-straw-varieties/
Pretty soon I’ll be up to my elbows in apples, so this might be my last chance to use fresh blueberries!
Now I am off to think about new scrap ideas!!
Fair food! Our town is having the local agricultural fair and I can’t wait! Also, there’ll be mustard greens and a roast on Sunday! MMMMM……

It is getting fall like here in New England. I think I will make a yummy chicken pot pie tonight and order sushi for saturday.

tonight I’m making overnight cinnamon rolls…yum
Since tomorrow is Rosh Hashanah there will be lots of good things to eat. I am not Jewish, but my boyfriend is and so we’re heading to his parents place for some good eats! I am planning on try out Martha’s recipe for honey and apple challah which was in last months issue of Martha Stewart Living. Alex’s Mum is also a great cook and while I don’t know what we’re having for dinner, I know that it will be great!
This weekend, we’re likely to eat a lot of take-out, as we’ll be cooking all weekend, but not to eat now–we’re canning corn relish, tomato sauce, salsa, ketchup, and pears. It’s crunch time, for those of us who eat locally.
I’m going to the BigE so I’m very excited about eating the funnel cake, baked potatoes and all the fair food!!!! Don’t know what BigE is? http://www.bige.com

Everything’s looking very smart round here! This weekend I’ll be making pork and apple casserole with potato-and-swede mash for me, my husband and our baby. She loves the sweet and savoury tastes in this meal, just like her mum! That reminds me to go get the pork out of the freezer…

I will also find time to finish the new sheets for the cradle (only 5 weeks to go!) and some early Christmas gifts…pajama pants, of course!
I’m so excited for Scrap Busters month. I haven’t created too many tutorials, but I’m really hoping I can come up with one. First I have to think of something!

My girls have been asking for broccoli soup so that’s what I’m planning on making.

I’m so excited about scrap busters month. I seem to have more scraps hanging about than I used to!
This weekend will probably see us having some yummy chicken quesadillas – making the shells at home makes them extra good. For dessert, it will probably be peach cobbler or brownies. It depends on how much I’m craving chocolate that day.
this is such a great idea! Who doesn’t have a million scraps laying around!?!
Well, this weekend I’m sworn to my diet, but last weekend, we munched on mini tacos while watching the True Blood finale, followed up by “Not Yo Mama’s Banana Pudding” (Paula Deen recipe) for dessert. It was pretty fantastic.

Jane
Yay! It’s FFF again!
This weekend I plan to go to a local all-vegan restaurant. I’m not vegan, only vegetarian, but it is sooo good! I will, for sure, have a chocolate cupcake there.
I really like the new look (ready for the tour!), and can’t wait to see everyone’s tutorials.
We are having a lot of eggplant in the garden ripen up..finally. I’m going to roast some and make a quiche with some of it.

I cant wait to take this scraptastic challenge! Anyways, We plan on cooking our family’s recipe for enchiladas this weekend.

Hi. We’re going to eat an oven pancake with blackberries and bananas or peaches on it for Saturday breakfast. Then we’re heading out to the farmer’s market to bag some veggies to grill, and I’m going to put basil butter on those. On Sunday, I’ll probably make chicken and dumplings. Have a lovely weekend!
This weekend our family will be feasting on an Ultimate Chocolate Layered Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Birthday Cake (recipe found on Picky Palate blog) I made for my stepson’s birthday today. Cream cheese icing, peanut butter, chocolate cake (lots of chocolate!), peanut butter cups. It looks delicious and everyone in the family is ready to have a slice this afternoon!
White Chocolate Ice Cream from “The Perfect Scoop.” Mmmmmmmm….
Pear Strudel! I have a basket of pears picked from a friend’s tree waiting at home to be turned into a delicious strudel and maybe while I’m at it I can can a few jars as well.
Oh, I can’t wait to see all the tutorials! I may even have to try my hand at doing one.
Love the new digs!
First off–LOVE the new look! I came over yesterday to post something in the forums and thought WOW!!! As far as delicious eating goes–I got some peaches and apples on sale (gotta love that in between season time) and was thinking about making some fried pies of each!
This weekend we will be eating some homemade chili with rice and cheddar cheese sprinkled on top (if i remember to get the meat out of the freezer!) Maybe homemade buttermilk biscuits if I have the time. Since our BBQ/Grilling days are probably numbered a couple of steaks sauteed mushrooms, roasted potatoes & a veggie will be consumed too! umm umm!
look forward to readying the stash buster ideas, i could use a few.
It’s gotten a bit cooler here, so I plan on making black bean soup for this evening with a tortilla pie. Something warm, cozy, simple & yummy!
I’ll probably be finishing up the ripe peaches. I just rejoined weight watchers to lose those pesky 10 pounds that just won’t go away. So this is about as delicious as it gets for me right now.
I’m excited for scrapbusters! Maybe i can clean out my craft closet!!! I’m making stuffed peppers this weekend – Paula Deen style. yum!!
Ooo, cooking for this weekend? My favorite activity on fall days. My plan is to fire up the wood cook stove (no pun intended), and make some chicken ‘n rice soup and bake bread. Once the stove it hot, all sorts of other goodies will be prepared for the upcoming week.
Love me some warm stove on a cool day!
The new look is great. We’re having some BBQ this weekend!

this weekend, i plan on cooking up something yummy for my household with whatever veggies and cheeses i buy tomorrow from the farmer’s market. maybe a chunky soup and a crusty bread for sunday’s supper. next weekend…i’m cooking up a storm for my son’s birthday party to include sea life shaped tea sandwiches and a cake that looks like a sand castle to as a goodbye to summer.
new look?
what’s more important is content…
keep up the good work!
Love the new look, and I love the patterns that I just got in the mail yesterday! This weekend I am planning on baking apple cake and apple challah – the apples around here in PA are FABULOUS!
It is getting chilly here in Minnesota, so I’m thinking soup. Chicken wild rice soup, homemade bread and maybe some pumpkin cookies?
I’m excited about scrap buster month! As for FFF, I’ve been baking for several hours for a bake sale tomorrow, so I’ve made several tasty things. I’m most looking forward to the sweet potato bread. Of course, I have to sample it before the bake sale.
I’m planning on making smitten kitchen’s snicker doodles, some white batter bread and some yummy walnut and parsley pasta this weekend!
I like the spiffy new blog look.
Scrap Busters month sounds so great! I have to admit that I have pretty much given up on cooking lately, but I plan on eating lots of fresh fruits from the farmers’ market this weekend!
Sounds like lots of great stuff coming up! This weekend Chicken Tortilla Soup in on the menu (my favorite!). If you’re interested, I posted the recipe on my blog (mid-August)!

Also love next months theme! So, i’m going to a BBQ this weekend and I’m thinking about making a carmel apple cake because it reminds me of fall.

Pie! Grape pie, specifically, because I am completely intrigued by the idea of cooking grape into a pie.
I’m heading down to San Antonio for the quilt show and I’m planning on eating one of San Antonio’s famous ginormous Cinnamon rolls for breakfast before the show. They’re usually about 8″ around, I’m not sure if I’ll finish it all
I like the new look, I’m looking forward to the scrap challenge!
I’m making my next week’s supply of whole wheat bread, granola, and 4 freezer meal versions of Chicken Broccoli casserole for a swap. Yum!
beer can chicken on the grill. Thanks for the chance!
I’m making a roast! The first one of this upcoming fall/winter season. Yum!
My friend posted about a dutch baby last Sunday. It looked so good I have to make one for us this Sunday.
Making pasta with shrimp & pesto (using last of basil in my herb garden pots). New look is quite the change—look forward to the tour when finished.
My family’s favorite easy meal will be on our table this weekend!
Baked spinach tortellini! I cook the tortellini until almost done and mix it with a jar of the super chunky garden vegetable spaghetti sauce.
I also mix in chopped broccoli and frozen vegetarian crumbles which resemble hamburger. Top with 6 cheese Italian blend and bake it til the cheese is brown. It’s all one pot, easy, fast and gives my family a load of vegetables!
I’m making a cookie dough cheesecake for a good friends birthday today! I’ve never made a cheesecake before though so I hope it turns out o.k.!
I dig the new look! Tonight I have a date and I’m making shrimp scampi over pesto angel hair pasta, garlic bread, and white wine. Yummy!
This weekend my dear husband and I will be purchasing our annual bushel of Hatch green chile! We will bag them and freeze them for the coming year. With some of them I will be making green chile chicken enchiladas for consumption this weekend as well as using them in scrambled eggs for breakfast on Sunday!
For some reason I have been so hungry for a pot of pinto beans, so I am making homemade tacos to wrap around them–and probably some salsa from a few glorious red garden tomatoes!
I’m going to try drying some of the delicious peaches I’ve received from generous friends–maybe even some peach leather? Mmmm mmmm!
I am surrendering to cool nights & roasting my first chicken of the season with root vegetables & rosemary. I could wish for more summer except that I’ve been missing soups, roasts & pumpkin anything.
Cook? Who has time to cook? I have scraps to make into something FABULOUS!!!
I’m thinking about making chicken enchiladas or chipotle chicken and rice.
I’m cooking a big ham and making green beans seasoned with bacon, and macaroni and cheese, per husband’s request. I plan on using ham leftover for some money-saving meals in the fall months to come.
I plan on making some guacamole. We’re planning on watching some football at my sisters house & I’m bringing the dips & chips.
I’m making chocolate cupcakes, because I love them and I deserve a special treat. Vanilla bean butter-cream frosting too. Yummy.
love the new look… super excited about the scraps month and this weekend i am going to try and tackle mrs julia child’s boeuf bourguignon. wish me luck!
I’m planning on eating take-out …. again! We are renovating our kitchen, and we’re now going on 5 weeks without water. Yikes. There’s no end in sight, either, so I’m going to have to start getting used to the take-out!
(If you could see my kitchen, you would see how silly this is, by the way. It’s about 4 feet by 8 feet. Tiny! I don’t know what it taking so long!)
Love the new design! And am so excited about the Scrap Buster Contest…really looking forward to that one.
Also looking forward to eating some excellent local pizza tonight with some new friends. Yum!
this weekend, i plan on eating apples with honey! delicious. l’shana tovah everybody!
I plan on making huckleberry chocolate chip muffins to munch on all weekend! Love the new look!
I am planning to make some stuffed red peppers (stuffed with some ground meat, rice and veggies – baked in tomato sauce, then before it’s done, some sour cream drizzled over it and baked to perfection). I have roasted, peeled, cleaned and frozen two large bags of red peppers, but I still look forward to the stuffed ones tommorrow =).
Herb and lemon roasted chicken with rice and a tossed green salad. Homemade dressing for the salad.
Really LIKE the new look – the colors are great. Fall seems like a great time for scrap busters … have to come up with a good one.

I’m on a major white pizza kick: wheat crust and squash/red onions/tomatos.
I’m really looking forward to October, I’ve really been wondering what on earth I will do with all my scraps.
These comments are making me so hungry! This sunday we are having a brunch so I was going to make some yummy quiches– one will be a classic broccoli with swiss cheese, but the other I’m making with smoked sausage, red and green peppers, red onion and a little cheddar cheese. Can I “yum” my own recipe?
I’m definately planning on making a big batch of pancakes tomorrow morning. Yum!
I may spend time on Sunday making some fig jam. My huge fig tree is still (even with the birds feasting daily) full of ripe fruit. I just need to get up on the ladder and get my share!
Roast chicken, creamy mashed potatoes, and delightfully yummy french style green beans. Yumm!
I’m planning on going to a local winery tonight. They have the best champagne and cheese platters. I might even indulge in some seared ahi. YUMMM!

quinoa with squash and other fresh veggies from the garden
and a really yummy gluten-dairy free dark chocolate brownie
I plan on making Apple Cake in an Iron Skillet this weekend. I just came across the recipe and it sounds like a wonder fall dessert!
Pupusas and Apples!!
We picked apples last weekend, and I have about half a bushel left. I have a crock pot of applesauce simmering, and my daughter and I will make apple cake with cream cheese frosting tomorrow morning.
Mmmmm…Beer and BBQ. Give me time to think of a new project while Hubby is cooking.
We’ve had a little splash of cooler weather here in Houston. To celebrate fall coming (soon hopefully) I’m making ginger pumpkin muffins.

We’re making the last cobbler of the season! I’m thinking a mix of cherry and black-berry. It’s our favorite!!!!!
I baked a large ham. Since it’s just the hubby and me, there will be ham for days and days. So I guess there will be some potato cakes with ham very soon.
Great to hear about your new changes! I look forward to hearing about new ways to use scraps.
This weekend, I’ll be baking cupcakes for my daughter’s third birthday party.
Tina
Enjoying the new look!

I can’t wait for Scrap Busters Month! I’ve got an idea I’ve been playing around with! Maybe I can finally get it done!
I am going to make parmesan crusted chicken with a shallot wine sauce. Well, I’m planning on that, but if I get lazy, I’m thinking Olive Garden might hit the spot!
The fall produce started showing up in my Farmer’s Market this week, so I plan to have my first baked winter squash one day and brussels sprouts another.
I am having friends over for oven-fried green tomato BLT’s, tomato basil pie, and lemon-orange pound cake. Together, we are saying goodbye to summer and making our wishes for fall.
I’m looking forward to getting fresh handpicked raspberries at the farmer’s market this weekend. After eating far too many straight from the pint, we’ll probably make muffins, yum!
Salsa, salsa, and more salsa! Although I am getting some great ideas!
This weekend I’m going to try my hand at granola – from this recipe at allrecipes – http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Peanut-Butter-Granola-2/Detail.aspx?src=etaf Can’t wait to see some scrap ideas, i have so many scraps!
I thought this was a new look! (i usually just read the RSS feed which is text only). LOVE IT!
I feel challeged to do a scap thingy!
On Sunday, we’re going to a football get together and I am taking macaroni & cheese and chocolate chip cookies. As for the meals, not sure yet!
*HUGS*
Jackie
I love the new look! I’m not too creative to think of something original for my scraps, but I’ll give it a whirl. I’m 40+ weeks pregnant, just waiting for this kid to arrive, so my plan is to make a big batch of spaghetti sauce and some freezer meals from that – lasagna, stuffed shells, etc.
I loved the old look and I love the new look! And I am looking forward to a lot of new things to do with scraps, there are always so many of them
Tonight I will make a quiche, only it won’t be with meat but with a lot of vegetables (so that everyone arround here including vegetarians can enjoy it!)
How fun! I’m planning to make some fresh pizza dough, to be topped by my husband’s wonderful concoctions of homegrown veggies and homemade pesto!
My mom is visiting to help with my new baby, and she always cooks us up some deliciousness. Hopefully she’ll be making us some pesto salmon – yummy!
I plan to make homemade potato bread, and possibly some cinnamon rolls since this dough makes a huge amount. Yummy!
I’m liking the new look… wtg!
And can’t wait for scrap month, too.
I’m making creme brulee tomorrow, and some roasted yam soup. Oh, how I love fall cooking!
We are taking our little ones to a local amusement park this weekend and will be having delicious cheese covered fries and probably funnel cakes as well! Yum! I like the new look, lovely!
I plan on making two dishes. One is Apple Cider Brussels Sprouts and the other is Crispy Sesame Kale. I have decided to try these new recipes on veggies I would otherwise not eat.
Tomorrow is my birthday so I plan on having some chocolate peanut butter cake with chocolate peanut butter frosting–cupcakes would be good, too! I left the recipe out on the counter……
Looking forward to scrap busting! Boy, do I have scraps!!
tacos are always a big hit in our house!
I am taking a baking class, and we will be learning to make the perfect pie!
It’s green chile night at our house!! I have so many good scrap buster projects but my camera is missing its cord so posting pictures would be pretty difficult. Maybe I can get my husband to post them with his blackberry.
I’ll be making chicken divan, my hubby’s favorite.
we always love tacos in our house!
We’re having a dinner party with some old friends! Spaghetti squash noodles and alfredo sauce is on the menu!
This weekend, like most weekends, I’ll be roasting a chicken for my husband. I like to cut the chicken in half (since he’s the only family member who eats fowl) and freeze half for later in the week. I heat the oven to 425-450 with my big cast iron skillet on the rack. While that’s happening I rub the chicken with sea salt, black pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice, and place rosemary on top. When the oven’s hot, the bird goes into the pan along with some peeled cloves of garlic. 20-30 minutes (about 45 for a whole bird) and dinner is ready. Just add a vegetable and/or potatoes.
Pear Cake! There is a chill in the air here and that means fall! So from now until Winter we will be eating apples, pears, squash, and pumpkins! I can’t wait
I’ll be making some hearty lentil soup and a loaf of bread to serve alongside. Its really yummy!
So looking forward to scrap busters month!
I’m going to pull out the slow cooker and have some shredded beef chimis loaded with all the toppings. Yum!
We plan to make stuff from the lovely Fall apples that we have! Maybe a rustic tart. We also plan to celebrate Rosh Hashanah this weekend and make some challah bread http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Challah Oh so yummy!
Jenny
I’ll be making apple pie with a gingerbread crust, with apples from our yard.
I want to have a breakfast feast: biscuits and gravy, bacon, pancakes, hashbrowns. Ok, I might have to cut a thing or two from the feast list.
My mom and I are heading up to the apple orchards in Oak Glen this weekend and will be canning away on Saturday the idea is Apple Butter and Apple Sauce. I love homemade Apple Sauce… I love that there are still actual chunks of apple and that you can add in all the cinnamon your little heart desires… but most of all I love how when you add it to a little puff pastry you have an instant apple turnover. YUM.
mmm…ribs…for my daughter’s favorite…and I like them a lot too!
What I meant to say is they’re my daughter’s favorite…we’re having them for her birthday.
Man, you’d think it was Monday or something
I’m getting Thai takeout to nosh on with my mom!
Scrap buster tutorials…..hmmm…….I wonder what I can come up with.
I am making blueberry pie this weekend! I meant to make it last weekend, but that didn’t happen with birthday celebrations and other things. I’m using the recipe that Cook’s Illustrated had in one of their mags last year. It uses vodka in the crust! And partial fresh fruit, and partially jam that you make which cuts down on that watery quality that blueberry pie can tend to have. I can’t wait. Yummy!
Well, corn came in the CSA box yesterday so we will have that tonight while it is fresh. Then, who knows, a little Spanakopita with our apples and honey this weekend.
Hmm, all of my scrap uses are so conventional…maybe I’ll think of a new one this month.
I’m on the don’t-eat-anything-exciting diet, so this weekend it’s hardboiled eggs, Wasa crackers, and sliced apples for pretty much every meal. Might make an apple pie for the family, though!
My hubby is taking me out to dinner at a fabulous Asian Bistro tomorrow night. I can.not. wait to fill up on sushi!
Tonight’s menu is nachos with a tomato/onion/avocado salad and a cold glass of limeade. Tomorrow night looks like a good night for grilling… chicken breast with roasted potatoes? Sunday we’ll be eating “fair food” and riding the carousel.
Thanks for the giveaway! Can’t wait to see what the scrap busters are!
We’re going apple-picking this weekend, with many friends and a big potluck dinner afterward. I’m looking forward to making apple cobblers, cake baked with apple slices, and baby apple puree. Yay for apple harvest season!
Love the new look! This morning I made brownies that I expect will be gone by the time I get home from work. This weekend I’m going to make banana cake with brown sugar icing. I think I’ll also make scalloped potatoes since the weather is turning cooler here.
We have a new baby due in early November so I’ll be prep cooking most of the weekend: pumpkin sage pasta, garlic pasta, sweet potato black bean enchiladas, carrot soup, samosas, etc… All the good things that come from the freezer when there isn’t a spare hand or a spare minute. And I’ll be roasting tomatoes from the garden with balsamic vinegar and olive oil to put in the freezer as well. Better get started!
I am going to make Tamale Pie and continue to eat on the pecan pie I made!
I’m planning to bake and eat some chocolate chip cookies-DD’s favorite. Perfect activity for a toddler on a rainy day!
Hurray! I can’t wait to see all the scrap buster ideas. We are making Orange Zucchini Bread today and then Pumpkin Patch Muffins tomorrow. Yum!
I dunno if it counts as this weekend, but at work we have a pool of people who rotate bringing in a baked treat on Friday morning to celebrate the end of the work week. This morning we are having blueberry coffee cake. Yum!
Salsa Verde enchiladas with Spanish-style brown rice and homemade tortilla chips. Penguin is on this weekend’s sewing menu.
A rainy weekend is saying Apple Crisp ala mode! Can’t wait to see all the scrapbusting ideas!

I’m planning on cooking steaks with my husband!
I’m making chicken enchiladas with homeade enchilada sauce and Flan. Yummy!
I’m right in the middle of baking an apple tart with merengues lid – my mum came by earlier today with a huge bag of apples, so tart, chutney and jam it is
Happy weekend to everyone…
We will be happily eating whatever darling son-in-law cooks, he grills a lot so maybe we will be lucky and have sweet Italian sausage.Does making gift wrapping out of fat quarters count as scrap busting?
October will be a great month! I can’t wait to see what Stash Buster projects arise!
This weekend I’m planning on making gyoza and possibly a cake… I can’t wait!
I just made the first banana bread of the Fall season – we’re gonna make sure it’s gone by Monday!
Mmmmmmmmmm so homemade pumpkin bread sounds fabulous for breakfast with a steaming hot cup of coffee.
It’s fall here in Michigan so time for apple dumplings! Yum

I’m making tin foil dinners, we’re going camping! Woohoo!
I’ll be smoking a nice pork tenderloin on the grill. We’ll cook it low and slow for several hours. Also, I’ll be making some apple crisp, from the recipe I’ve been using since I was a kid, but now with apples from my own trees. Have a great weekend!
love the new look! I’m going to be baking a banana cake with cream cheese frosting…just because that sounds SO yummy!
loving the new background!
making our usual Fri dinner…homemade pizza with toppings from the garden. Also looking forward to our usual Sun dinner…homemade burritos, salsa, guac, and homemade chips! yum! Weekends are our time to slow down and enjoy good food, good cooking, and good time with family and friends.
also looking forward to “scrap busters”! This weekend plan on making crockpot chili, chocolate muffins (or something like that), and a pot of marinara sauce for the freezer.
I really like the linen look, and thanks for the push to get off my rear and make that tutorial I’ve been thinking of doing for months and months now…
Oh, and what I’ll be cooking? Maybe napa cabbage chicken salad, since it’s going to be 103 degrees all weekend! No oven or stove for me!
There are some frozen bananas that are waiting to be made into banana nut bread. Yum.
I can’t wait to see al of the new ideas for October!
This weekend I need to make at least 1 pair of pajamas for birthday gifts. We have plans to go out for Italian on Saturday night so far.
Looking forward to seeing all the scrappy projects! This weekend I’m making apple pie squares. YUM!!!!

Planning to make some cheesy zucchini bread with the zucchini straight from the garden!
This weekend I’m making CrockPot Hoisin Chicken Wings. Very delicious and very easy. You can find the recipe if you do a Google search.
mmm, I love to cook, and weekends are a great time for me to cook up something wonderful. My weekend cooking plans are homemade deep dish pizza tonight. Saturday, homemade gnocchi with fresh pesto (utilizing that basil from my garden!) with a delicious caprese salad (you gotta LOVE fresh mozzarella, home grown tomatoes and fresh basil layered together and seasoned with balsamic, olive oil and s+p! YUM!) Then Sunday I am cooking up a new recipe for my celiac sis-in-law GLUTEN FREE Vanilla Cupcakes! (it’s been so long since she’s had a baked good!) I am so excited! Here’s to a yummy weekend!
Scrap busting? I let my daughter use them to make baby toys/plushes/gifts!
This Sunday is my birthday and i’ve been wanting to make some rice pudding with dried apricots and ginger thrown in…non-desserty? maybe a grilled salmon pasta bowl type thing
Thank you for the heads up on the contest! I am putting on my thinking hat now.
This weekend I am making a pot roast (stew) with potatoes, onions. carrots, peas, celery, and a ton of spices. My mom’s recipe for baking soda biscuits. And a homemade apple pie to end the dinner. It is getting so chilly here that I thought I needed to break out a hearty fall recipe.
I plan on eating chicken tortilla soup this weekend! Yum!
And I could totally use some suggestions to bust my scraps.
Scraps
I’ll see what I can come up with. You know, scraps, like leftovers can oftentimes be better when revisited. Mixed into a nice smorgasbord of flavors and aromas that have had time to infuse the food. In my fridge I have some ham and black eye peas. With a little broth and some carrots, this will become a wonderful ham and bean soup. Too bad the heat came back full force 
I’ve pad thai on the brain. So many delicious recipes floating around blogs and recipe sites…
Gonna get hubbie to take me out for some Italian. Am thinking about cooking chicken cream cheese puffs.
Spaghetti and meatballs with homemade garlic bread of course! And if I don’t stop eating them, everyone else will have coconut macaroons for dessert!
Love the new look of the site too – seems a lot easier to find things.
I’ll be baking a decadent fudge cake for my mother’s birthday. Several different kinds of chocolate. Heaven!
Yay, so excited about Scrap Busting Month! We’re having my sisters wedding this weekend so were having slow roasted pork (yup the entire pig) tonight for the rehersal dinner. Yum!
Oh how I LOVE food. I am most looking forward to going to the nearby crepe place on Saturday morning and getting a Nutella filled crepe.

I’m not necessarily making anything great this weekend, but a friend and I are going to drive to Temecula tomorrow and hit the farmers market. We’re going to pick up some bread, cheese and fruit then head to one of the wineries and buy a bottle of champagne. Ooh la la! It may not be real cooking, but it’s what I’m looking forward to most this weekend!
Grilled salmon. Maybe this recipe: http://thepioneerwoman.com/tasty-kitchen/recipes/main-courses/honey-lime-grilled-salmon/

Weekends usually mean soccer games and this weeks games will take us out of town. The treat for the non-soccer playing family members is at least one decent meal. The choice for tonight will be PF Chang—not bad for a soccer mom!
We are having homemade salsa. The garden peppers really started kicking them out this week! So fun!
canning salsa this weekend!
Love the new site–pretty!
I’m hoping to make a few loaves of banana bread this evening.

My 8-year-old daughter wants to do baking this weekend, so we’re going to make brownies. We bought two kinds of chocolate morsels to put in them — white chocolate and milk chocolate. Now if we can just keep from eating up all the chocolate chips before we put them in the mix!

Love the new layout. It looks great. As for cooking, we will be noshing on homemade lasagana. I make my own tomato sauce with tomato, onions, and basil from my greenhouse. I will be attempting homemade pasta noddles as well, but that may be a bust and so we have store bought on hand. I am also attemting low cal cannolis from this months issue of cooking light. Served with some delish red wine, this will round out a great Italiain dinner.

peach cobbler and homemade basil pesto are on the lineup
but I’m more excited about what I can make with my scraps! Can’t wait to see what’s posted next.
I love the scrapbuster idea – I need a few tips to shrink the mountain! This weekend we will be finding new and exciting ways of eating the glut of courgettes, especially since we’ve run out of people to give them to. Frittata anyone?
I’m not sure what I’ll be cooking, but I’ll definitely be eating some leftover homemade German Chocolate Cake I made for my husband’s birthday. It’s the recipe right out of the German’s chocolate box. Super moist and tasty cake, with rich coconut pecan filling. Yum.
Corned beef hash and corn bread though not together.
Pizza with wheat crust! Oh so good.
Lot’s of eating out this weekend! Tonight we’re attending a wedding rehearsal; the dinner afterwards will be at our favorite Mexican restaurant. Tomorrow is a friend’s surprise birthday party at Buca di Beppo, and I’m excited because I’ve never been to one. Sunday is the wedding, and I really don’t know what they’re serving. Worries me a little, because I’m in the middle of a 21-day vegan challenge
Hmmm…I’ll have to think on the scrapbusters contest. I plan on making winter squash pancakes, YUM!
I’m planning on roasting the beets I got from my CSA with rosemary and olive oil. Yum!

Sangria. Does that qualify if I make it myself? : >
We’re going out to a Bohemian restaurant tonight. They serve Czech food. I love their goulash and unique soups.

I love this time of year… nice and cool for baking (I’ll be making muffins this weekend, too!) and a HUGE abundance of healthy fresh food…
Scraps are my theme for next year. I am excited to see what ideas everyone comes up with.
This weekend we have a 1st birthday so, some lemon layer cake. Then tailgating so, bean salad, pasta salad and some Naniamo bars. If the rain holds off heading to the farmers market Saturday.

This week everything I eat will be so wonderful! I am from Australia, visiting my parents. My mom is the best cook and baker. So I am in for some of her classics, potatoe pancakes, homemade apple butter and her pickles to name a few. As well as the Missouri BBQ and custard ice cream that we love! Oh its good to be home!
I’ll be eating whatever they serve at the restaurant that serves their giant tropical drinks in containers shaped like carved coconuts! …Pineapple, probably!
Can’t wait for scrapbuster month!

Some pumpkin chocolate cookies to celebrate fall weather!

Mmmm…I am going to make simple baked custard with nutmeg for my mom who just had surgery. The hospital no longer offers custard (her favourite part of the hospital stay), so I’m stepping in.

I like the new look. I’m thinking about making oatmeal cookies this weekend.

Tibetan red lentil soup with naan, because it’s nice and cool here on the coast!

Scrap busters sounds fun, making plans

Tomorrow is my day to journey to the local farmer’s market. I am hoping to find eggplant and zucchini to go with my home grown tomatoes so that I can make ratatouille to have with pasta. Oh, and lots of garlic!
The new look is great!

Fun ideas! I never know what to do with all of those odds and ends.
I plan to make frozen pizza this weekend! Busy work schedules for the hubby and lots of errands outside the home will make for slim cooking opportunities. Not cutsie or fall-ish or creative this weekend, but hey, just being honest.
Love the way the site is looking!
Since my family is recovering from the H1N1 virus – this weekend we will be cooking my Grandmother’s “No Fail-Get Better” Soup. (It beter work)

I’m planning to eat yummy, nostalgic treats prepared by the sweet mother of a college roommate. My friends are having a long-overdue reunion this weekend, and I cannot wait!
I am getting a cold so I made homemade chicken soup tonight–I hope it works!
The scrapbusters contest sounds like so much fun. I’ll have to put my thinking cap on and see if I can come up with something to enter. I made apple pie today. We had company this past week so I’m really hoping that we will have enough leftovers so that I don’t have to cook much this weekend.
We’re looking to whip up another batch of this new granola recipe that I found – it only take 7 minutes in the oven and a few minutes on the stove and is super yummy!
oooh i wonder if i can figure out something good to sew with scraps! as for something good to eat, it’s going to be soooooo hot we won’t feel like eating. perhaps gazpacho?
I am making bite size brownies for my mom. My mom has NEVER asked me to make something specific for her, but she is in love with these silly bite size brownies I made on a whim that turned out wonderful. So tomorrow morning I will be making mint, peanut butter, and caramel (not all together!!) bite size brownies for my mom to take with her to a game night with her friends.
I’m making Millionaire’s Shortbread for my husband’s birthday. It is a chocolate-y, shortbread-y, caramel delight!
Love the scrap contest idea!
Finally, we’ve found a turkey small enough to fit in our tiny fridge…so we’re cooking that this weekend, with stuffing and fresh vegetables that I’ll pick up at the farmer’s market tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow night we are having a family dinner which will consist of spaghetti, salad and bread. The dessert will be a b-day cake for my great nephew who is turning 1.
i’m looking forward to navajo tacos! love the new site…
Tomatoes and basil, perhaps with a little fresh french bread and/or mozzarella. Seems like all I’m eating lately, and I don’t mind a bit!
Add me to the list of people excited for stashbusters!
This weekend’s menu – I have plans to make turkey breast with feta & spinach stuffing. My daughter and I have been talking about making some kind of new cake so I’m thinking about a recipe that’s lying around in an old MS Living magazine for dark chocolate grand marnier bundt cake. Sounds tempting!
This weekend is autumn/apple themed. Apple cider brined pork roast, apple stuffing, applesauce, roasted root vegetables, I am still trying to decide on a dessert. Maybe an apple tart?
i haven’t yet collected much in the way of scraps, but I am excited to get some new ideas on what to do with what I have
Yay srap-Busters!
I know it’s no where near winter, but I plan on enjoying a fabulous warm winter lemon cake. I got the recipe from a Kraft foods magazine and it’s been a favorite ever since!
Carrot cake with penuche frosting for my husband’s birthday
I am making buttermilk pancakes and smoothies!

love the new look! We are having a birthday party, with all sorts of yummy goodness: caramel corn, homemade clam chowder, and homemade rolls!
I have no idea what we’ll be eating this weekend and I’m ok with that.
Fried Green Tomatoes! Our tomato plants gave and gave the most delicious red tomatoes all summer. And they still loaded with green tomatoes now, which seem to have no interest in ripening. So, dredged in egg and breadcrumbs and then fried, topped with Gorgonzola dressing, they are mouthwateringly perfect!
I am going to be visiting my parents this weekend, so my dad will be doing the cooking. There’s no telling what yummy concoction he’ll make!
I plan to cook a desert –from a new to me cookbook I bought at the Library book sale 99% fat free appetizers and deserts. And sew a new quilt top using a fruit of the spirit “crossword” style pattern. Hope I get to do what I plan & win FFF. Angie
This weekend will be all about chicken enchiladas and lots and lots (I mean LOTS) of watermelon.
I plan on spending the morning with a White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha…my mouth waters just thinking about it!! hehehe
Chocolate cake! Yummy ^^
I am so excited about Scrap Busters Month. I have a huge toy box full of scraps of all sizes.
Sunday I think I will make a yummy Pork Roast and fried apples on the side. Yum Yum.
I plan on making a Greek Salad — kalamata olives and tomatoes — mmmm.
I am planning on making some simple aprons and decorating some towels for my sister to put in her shop.
Elise
French Toast! Yummm!
A yummy tomatoe tart with philo dough, butter and parmesan.
and chicken pot pie with veges from farmers market. and fresh peaches.
I made Manicotti with homemade garlic bread last night. We will be eating the leftovers on Sunday, too. It’s awesome fresh, but it is also one of those dishes that is great reheated.
I love the idea of Scrap Busters month! Meanwhile, though, I am making Italian meatloaf today for my family–I bought a little more meat than I thought, so it will be a BIG meatloaf that should last:-)
Zucchini, zucchini, zucchini. (Noticing a pattern here?) We’ll be trying out a recipe for a chocolate cake with zucchini that I am assured is delicious and we’ll be indulging in a fave from my teen years: fried zucchini. This will reduce the guilt about the zucchini I am afraid will go to waste and inspire guilt about my cholesterol levels.
Italian sausage with onions and chard. Yum!
I think I am going to make a nice big pot of chili since the air is getting crisp.
I really have to put my thinking cap on now. Need to come up with another scrappy project!
We are having Chili Lime chicken tonight! Yummy!!!
AWESOME new look…..Looking forward to scrap busters!!!
We had some delicious biscuits last night, AND I got all of my scraps organized so I can try out all of the great new ideas you all have! I am not a very experienced sew/crafter but I love trying!
It has gotten cold so quickly around here! I plan on making a crockpot full of homemade baked beans…I have perfected my recipe over many years and have one that we finally think is perfect! A side of coleslaw, hotdogs, and ployes (acadian buckwheat crepes). A yummy dinner for a chilly day….
I love the site’s new flow. It’s easier on the eyes and easier to navigate. Unfortunately, it makes it easier to shop, too!
I’m baking pecan chocolate chip cookies to send to my sister-in-law as a thank-you for her donation to my American Cancer Society Relay for Life team–THE CANCER KICKIN’ ANGELS.
http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR/RelayForLife/RFLFY09CA?px=8284014&pg=personal&fr_id=13739
Ooh, Scrapbusters, what fun! I might even try and post something, why not! I plan on making La Fuji Mama’s peanut butter and chocolate patty cakes, I’m havng some girlfriends for morning tea and have been looking for an excuse to indulge in these – YUM!
Sushi and maybe even some green tea ice cream, yum!
I plan on having a “at home date” with my hubby after the kids go to bed tomorrow night – french onion soup, mozza sticks, and sausage rolls. Yummy throw-in the oven appy’s
I love the new design of the site, I miss the links to the photo pools on the right though! We started our weekend off with homemade butter and baking powder biscuits. Yum!
I plan on making raw fudge cookies… so good for you but every bite causes a moan of pleasure… makes you feel like it must be sinful.
I’m thinking about making some oatmeal raisin cookies.
I am savoring the last warm days that I get by eating my mom’s “poor man’s pie.” Basically jello and cool whip mix together in a graham cracker crust. Yummmmmm! And refreshing. I’m sad to see summer go…
There is a whole lot of birthday cake and cake baking in general this weekend. Hope everyone has great parties (a cake always means a party in your mouth).
YAY for scraps!! I have a basket full of them and now this will give me the motivation I need to actually DO something with them.
This weekend I’m baking Downeast Maine Pumpkin Bread…mmmmmm…..
I can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with for scrap busters.
I plan on making chocolate fondant. I would love to say that I made the recipe up myself, but sadly I did not. It is from a Gordon Ramsay cook book. It is a personal sized chocolate desert that is warm cake on the outside and gooey chocolate on the inside!
I am making some home made sausage!
Oh i’m so looking forward to scrap busters month! I have a whole bucket full of scraps and some serious lack of motivation lately, that needs to be kicked into over drive!
We are heading to a local farm tomorrow for some apple picking – I forsee pies and apple crisp in my future tomorrow afternoon!!
I am totally looking forward to October now!
For dinner I plan on fixing fresh asparagus, corn on the cob and roasted tomatoes for a really fun veggie meal…
I just put together a batch of Calico Beans and tomorrow I will be making a big kettle of Broccoli and Cheese Soup. I will freeze some for later. When the Fall weather starts there is nothing better than a bowl of homemade soup. While the soup is simmering I plan to make a pan of apple crisp to share with my neighbor. It goes great with vanilla ice cream……..yum!
P.S. I love the “New Look”
It has done nothing but rain here for over a week, and the temp has started dropping. I’m going to fix ratatouillie (sp?) and serve it with jasmine rice. Yummy. I recently moved, and haven’t got my sewing machine set up yet, so no tutorials are in my future for a month or so.
dmj53(at)hotmail(dot)com
I love the new look! I will have to take a good look at my scrap bin… We’re going in to Boston today and getting canolis from the world’s best Italian bakery!
My sister is coming home for her birthday and we are doing turkey breast the first night and turkey stew the second, some of our favorite meals. To top it off, our all-time favorite cake that no one else in the world makes or likes: Chocolate Chip Cake from the Betty Crocker Cookbook. Mmm, drooling a little. Thanks for the chance at the giveaway, and looking forward to the scrap busting!
Mmmmmm ‘mexican pizza’ from La Casita down the street. Authentic ingredients, though the assembly might not be as authentic… nothing beats it!
My better half is going to make tilapia with ginger and chile. I love it! I don’t cook–I do the dishes! I’m banned from cooking-lol. I’m a chronic burner…I call it charbroiling!!!
I’m going to make Banana Walnut muffins with caramel flavored frosting.
Well it’s still incredibly hot here in the South East, and a trip to the zoo resulted in Krispy Kreme’s for breakfast Sunday. Yum yum
Gianduia, cherry granola, and roasted tomatoes.

I’m planning on making pumpkin scones with maple icing
And I love the new site design!!
there is a fair in my town and I plan on eating my fair share of fried dough and then some.
Oooh, apple crisp from Grandma Kitty’s apple crisp recipe! And my family had a picnic in the living room floor tonight with various fruits and veggies and an assortment of dipping sauces: natural PB mixed w/ honey and cream, baby food peaches, baby food apple-cherry sauce, and chocolate syrup! Plus, as always tons of sunsweet cherry tomatoes from our garden and the last two cukes from our little summer garden!
Ground turkey and lentil meatloaf loaded with caramelized onions, grated yellow squash, and wilted swiss chard!
I am just getting ready to make blueberry muffins from scratch. Love ‘em and blueberry season around these parts is just about over… so gotta make ‘em while I can.
Then I think I’ll go play around in the scrap bin!
This weekend I made a big pot of good old chicken noodle soup in the slow cooker. And, since organic apples were on sale, I made a batch of applesauce. Although most of it is in the freezer right now, I predict it will be gone by the end of the week. My kids love it.
Mmmmm I made the warmest, comfiest casserole last night since we’re firmly into autumn in the UK. Simple but comforting – chicken, carrots, new potatoes, aubergine, butter beans and lots of herbs from the garden.
Loving the scrap challenge too – gonna go rack my brains and raid the scrap stash.
I made a revised version of a new (to me) ham & fettucine alfredo dish Saturday for lunch. Instead of fettucine, I used penne pasta. I also added mozzerella cheese to complete the cup of parmesan cheese that was only half full. It seemed to be a winner in our family. We ate some of the leftovers last night.
i made a curried couscous salad with pecans and dried cranberries… delish!
I love your new design! I had to pop in here and say that.
I just noticed that I have ketchup on my keyboard, but I don’t think it is related.
um. i’ll admit i had a five guys burger over the weekend. i did, however, make some ratatouille before that with some farmer’s market produce – delicious!
I will be making tempura and a soy, ginger salmon. Also, apple pie, zucchini bread, potato bread and maybe some granola bars.
Love the redesign! So chic! I’m making lemon-blueberry muffins. Perfect for fall mornings.
In order to embrace the change in season, I will be cooking a delicious, winey, garlicky potroast.
I feel inspired to make a scrap quilt. How fun! Living in CA we have yet to feel the change of the season – it has been over 100 degrees this past week! Not feeling inspired for any cold weather food yet. I’m thinking a homemade chicken pot pie for tonight.
Roast lamb with rosemary and loads of garlic, a New Zealand classic with a Mediterranean twist…lol!
A friend just brought me six corn on the cobs! That’s going to be the delicious part of my dinner!
I have fallen in love with this site!! I look forward to looking through every last inch of it.. As for whats cooking in my house, LOTS.. I love to cook, and my dinner , on Friday night because I am one of those cooks who write out recipes for a month, buy ingredients, and then cook it for a week usually.. But, Fridays calendar shows I am having Chicken Fried CHICKEN, garlic green beans from our garden, mashed potatoes with garlic and horseradish mixed in.. and for dessert.. well this is bad, but NOTHING but our mountian huckleberries mixed in with vanilla yogurt and drizzle of honey.. Thanks again for a fun website… I am glad to have found it today!
I plan on hitting the farmer’s market and picking out pumpkins. I’ll proably make roasted seeds and make my husband’s award winning pumpkin bread. Sorry I’m not at liberty to disclose the recipie. The funny thing is that hubby hates baking but can write awsome baking recipies.
It is chili weather here – and maybe cornbread? Yum.
This weekend I’ll be making apple pie, dried apples and freezing apples…
Like the look of your new updates, but its not working right now in Firefox…
It’s chilly in the mornings here in NC, but warm in the afternoons. I’m making a big pot of Rachel Ray’s Chicken Mug Pie – saw her make it on her show early this year, and my family loves it!
I have recently been going through old hand written recipe cards of my grandmothers and found a recipe for a brown sugar pound cake! Yum!
yeah I feel inspired to make scrap bags.
Didn’t recognize your website! Hope you will pick me for a free yard of fabric. I will be working on my tutorial for the scrap project!
The weather is cold and rainy here in MI so I will be making curried butternut squash and apple soup with a homemade loaf of bread and a salad with maple-roasted pumpkin pieces, pumpkin seeds, red onion, sheep’s milk feta and a maple-dijon vinegrette. My all-time favorite fall meal!!!
I really like the Scrap Busters Month contest. I NEED to “bust” my stash; how else can I justify buying more fabric?
It has been raining in Michigan for the last 4 days, and the leaves have started to turn red. It’s ideal weather for Belgian Beef Stew. Maybe I will make pumpkin pancakes for breakfast. The pumpkin colored mums that I planted last week have inspired me to think fall!
I can’t wait to see all the creative ideas to use up my scraps.
I plan on cooking some of eggplant from my Dad’s garden. I am thinking fried eggplant strips with coconut soup
I’m planning to make weight watcher potato soup … hmmmm good and only takes 20min. AND black bean brownies … yes black bean. Recipe here
http://sandyquilts.blogspot.com/2008/02/best-brownies-in-world.html
Scrapbusters sounds like a great idea. I have a ‘few’ scraps laying around. LOL
Cooking? Hmmm tonight we had a yummy lasagna recipe made in the crockpot with a few of my tweaks done to the recipe. Not sure yet tomorrow but it looks like possibly a hamburgery & macaroni recipe I found recently. Then I think Sunday I’m making a yummy big pot of Homemade chicken & dumplings since I just got whole chickens on sale for $.88/lb yesterday. YUM
I’m planning on learning how to make champarrado, which is a Mexican drink made of chocolate, milk, cinnamon and masa (or another grain as a thickener). I’m souring different websites to see some of the variations. This is a good way to learn something new and realize that there isn’t a wrong way to do it, or pick up those little tips that mamacita never shared with you when she made it.
first I have to make the Scalloped Fabric Garland in Christmas fabrics and then the leftovers can make patchwork gift bags.
I made some pumpkin, oatmeal, choc.chips cookies today. I posted the recipe on my blog and hope to eat them ALL week!
I’ve found an easy way to use up my scraps…I donate them to my granddaughter’s classroom for craft time. They love them.
As for what’s on the menu this weekend…homemade bread and chicken soup.
Once I finish my daughters costume on Friday I am going to make this wonderful slow cooker lemon chicken that I found on allrecipes.com. I made it today, and it was so good I am going to make a bigger batch of it and freeze some. Am also going to make some pumpkin raisin bread. Then I want to pull out my scraps and start making Barbie and Ken a wardrobe for my daughter’s Christmas present.
I’m so glad to have found this group. It’s like a cool breeze on a muggy, grimy day.
Football plus cooler weather equals chili! I finally perfected my recipe and can’t wait to make it for the first time this season!
we are planning on making chili this weekend! should good good with the cool weather we’re going to be having!
I can’t believe I missed out on this challenge by ONE day. I only work with scraps, off cuts and recycled fabrics…boohoo. Super happy to find this site though so now I can see what other do with their scraps…
xo Steph
Pear crisp from Pioneer Woman Cooks. It looks delish.
