Cute Flower Pots.......

Love this idea, perfect for outdoor tables or indoor decor.  The floral possibilities are endless and the pots could be painted any color you wanted.  A candle ring with silk flowers would be so cute!

On My Needles....

On my needles, a cowl for Mr. Outdoors and a chevron baby blanket. The blanket is grey and light yellow, shows up off white in the picture.  I have been making and putting away several baby blankets, looking forward to the day we could become Great-Grandparents.... Our weather has been beautiful for a couple of days, 55 degrees today.  I was able to hang out all the laundry and with the breeze they all got dry, folded, ironed and put away. Big weather change coming tomorrow, a high of 24 degrees and a chance of rain/snow for the next five days.  Keep warm, till next time.

Impossible Pie.....

I haven't made this for quite awhile but so easy and yummy....great if you need a dessert in a hurry   Impossible Pie...

All the ingredients are mixed together and poured into a pie tin, but when it cooks it forms its own crust with filling This has a coconut vanilla taste like a coconut cream pie.

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all purpose flour
8 Tablespoon butter
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

We have snow coming down for the second day in a row.  Temperatures in the teens and quite windy....keep warm!

Beautiful Shawl.....

Ralph Lauren 2015.....isn't this a beautiful and simple shawl?  I know the fringe would get in the way but there are times you just have to forget about stuff like that..LOL.  This is on my bucket list to knit, so beautiful in every way.......

Cheeseburger Pie......

I would say I have been making this recipe for over 30 years.  A family favorite and so quick and easy to make for a quick supper or bake a bunch and freeze them. Be sure and pre-bake your crust before adding hamburger mixture, if you don't the crust won't be done.  Enjoy!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentines Day!  I hope you are spending some time with the ones you love.  Mr. Outdoors and I are celebrating a nephews Birthday today and the weather is on our side....going to be 55 degrees today!  Enjoy!

Knitted Cowl.....

Off my needles, a cowl for me......I make them for my hubby and son, up till now I haven't had one.  Lots of moisture headed our way today, I may get to try it out!  Happy Wednesday!

Sauerkraut Soup.....

Sauerkraut soup
1 pound polish sausage, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
5 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 medium onions, chopped
3 carrots, cut into 1/4 inch slices
3 cans (14.5 ounces each) chicken broth
1 can (32 oz) sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, combine sausage, potatoes, onions, carrots and chicken broth, bring to a boil.
Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Add sauerkraut and tomato paste; mix well. Return to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 30 minutes longer.
If a thinner soup is desired, add additional water or chicken broth.
Makes 8 - 10 servings     Given to me by a friend, such a good recipe!  Will warm your bones on a cold day/night.   I was hesitant on adding the sauerkraut as we don't eat a lot of it,  totally makes the soup, just be sure to rinse it 3 or 4 times before adding.  Enjoy!

Football Cupcakes.........

Football night in America.....our Family loves football and cooking and eating!  I always enjoy trying out new recipes, my Family actually expects it of me I think.  Mr. Outdoors found a new cupcake recipe he wanted us to try, so try we did.  Chocolate cupcakes with a filling of peanut butter and marshmallow cream, topped with chocolate frosting.  Hot wings with a twist were on the menu, breading the wings then dipping in the sauce before baking......they were soooo good.  #2 son cooked a brisket and it was melt in your mouth tender, delish!  Add all of the sides and we had a great meal.  Baked a loaf of bread in my new dutch oven, you just can't beat fresh baked bread can you?  Happy Tuesday!
