For Dinner Try: HulaJoes

I was inspired by Rachael Ray's turn on "Sloppy Joe". Here is a link to her recipe for Hula Joes. It's a pretty laid back dinner, I used paper plates too.
I alternated the recipe by adding some veggies: onions, carrots and celery. I saute them and put aside.
Brown the beef or I used Meatloaf mix. I used Manwich sauce, but Rachael Ray make her own by combining tomato sauce, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar.
Add some cubed pineapple. Combine everything and heat it through. I served it over toasted rolls.
Works great for leftovers, too!
Bon Apetit!

Block # 4



This is the first block I finished for my Purple and Green Star Quilt.
It is Judy L - two block a month pattern! I am very excited to get sewing and make the next two, so I will be up to date :)

Purple and Green Star Quilt

I am participating in Judy Laquidara Star BOM. I like that she gives you the two blocks a month. It is a very cute pattern! I actually missed the first 3 blocks, but I think I can figure them out. These are the fabrics I am using... :) It started with a small bundle of fat quarters I got from my mother in law and I really loved it. I am going to make scrappy looking stars and using the same white background. Most of the fabrics are from Timeless Treasures, Fleur collection.
I am going to post the first block I finished! Stay tuned.......

Progress...



This is the progress Scot and I made this weekend on our Guest Bedroom....we install almost half of the floor. Before that we had to prime and paint the ceiling, walls and all the trimmings. The painting was a pain since we were painting over wood panels and they had all these grooves.
The paint color is called Blueberries and Cream, it reminds me of a candy! Now I have to make a quilt.......wait I think I have been collecting the perfect fabrics for that :)
To be continued...

Homemade Pizza For Dinner!



I was gonna make spaghetti for super and I wanted garlic bread sticks to go with. After cleaning all day I did not feel like going to the store so Scot offer to make some! Am I not the luckiest girl in the world? He made the dough and then decided to make pizza too. It was so delicious! We have a pizza stone and the pizza gets nice brick oven like crust! YUM!!!
