Kitchenry

The kitchen is the heartbeat of our home.  There is always something going on here.  Always a gathering of bodies, food and projects.  Here are some of the things we've been up to during the week...

*                      *                         *                          *                     *                       *                       *


:: Basted turkey with oven roasted vegetables.  Very Thanksgiving-y.  :)  



:: Just loving being able to sit down with this machine.  Such a treat.  My mom and I went out to fabricland together and I got my hands on some polar fleece to line the hats.  I also couldn't resist the gorgeous blue gingham I found at the end.  It was begging to be made into a summer dress...



:: It feels like we went overboard with sweets this week.  Maybe not overboard, but certainly more than usual.  First try for these yeast donuts.  They were good - even better when filled with Nutella.  :)  The chocolate chip cookies were, of course, a hit with the kids.  What better way to use up leftover white chocolate chips!  I must say though, they are even better with M&Ms.  Just saying.  



:: Lego is his passion. He made that battleship all by himself.  Including the catapult.  Amazing.

  1. I am so impressed! Sewing, my nemesis! Doughnuts, oh my goodness! And your sweet Lego fan -- my grandchildren are so into them, as was (is, actually) their daddy. And I like your writing style. : )

    1. Thank you for your encouragement! I don't think anyone grows out of lego - it is genius to have developed a toy that spans generations. :) Sewing does have it's frustrations, I'll admit. But it is so wonderful to be able to make beautiful things all on your own and just the way you envision. For me, it outweighs the frustrations. :)

    1. I might as well mention that they didn't last a day. I do love the idea of apple cider donuts. Might have to try them out this fall...

    1. My daughter is all about taking the legs and hands and arms and heads apart of each lego man. Must be a 3 year old thing? I swear half our men are handicapped in some way. She does love playing with her big bro though, so I imagine that will change somewhat. :)

  4. Between those donuts an that cookie dough, I would be the happiest girl ever! Would you share some recipes?
