My 2 year old...

Harvest Dinner pt. 2

Ok, here is the pillowcase dollhouse to go with the dolls from pt. 1. I'll be sending it north this weekend. Now I have to make one for my own kids. I should have made a pattern as I went.

Harvest Dinner pt.1

My hometown annual fundraiser to benefit the local ambulance (thanks, mom!) is coming up. Here is part one of my contribution. I have yet to come up with a name for them, but they are cute, nonetheless. Riley loves them, and the boys want me to make some male counterparts.

Gentry Belle

Isn't she sweet?!

Tulle, an elastic waistband and a 3 month old. cute.

Little witch

This is what I did today with one black t-shirt, 1/2 yard fun fabric, and 1/2 hour. I am quite pleased.

Confetti zucchini bread

I altered a recipe that my cool big sis recommended from Paula Deen

Ingredients:
2 c all-purpose flour
1 1/4 c. whole wheat flour
1 t salt
2 1/2 t. baking soda
1 t cinnamon
1 t nutmeg
2 1/3 c sugar
1/2 c veg oil
1/2 c applesauce
4 eggs, beaten
1/3 c. drained zucchini juice (from zucchini below, or just use water)
1 c. grated zucchini
1 c. grated yellow summer squash
1/2 c. grated carrot
1 t. vanilla
Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine oil, applesauce, eggs, zucchini juice/water, vanilla, zucchini, squash, and carrot. Mix wet ingredients into dry. Add 1 c chopped nuts if desired (i didn't). Bake in 3 standard loaf pans, sprayed with nonstick spray, for 30-40 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean (my oven bakes fast, so the time may vary).

Everyone loved it, although the kids wanted to know what the orange stuff was. I avoided the question. I doubled the recipe with no problem, and froze a bunch of it sliced for school lunches.
