Stuffed sweet potato. Not only is this recipe good, it’s easy. We quite often have beans and corn in our fridge, so this recipe doesn’t even require a special trip to the grocery store. Total bonus.

Ingredients 1 large cooked sweet potato 1/2 cup of black…

Recipe: Beet and Bean Wrap
Beet and bean wrap. I love beets, especially the beet stacks. Have you tried those yet? You need do after you make these wraps.

Okay…time to get our wrap on…let us get to it! Ingredients 3/4 cup of cooked quinoa 2 tablespoons of canola oil 3/4 cup of red onion 2 1/2 cups of…

Sewing: Simplicity 1429 Pattern Review Part Two
Simplicity 1429 pattern review part two. Last week I did a review of this pattern, the pants version. This time, the shorter wavy skirt. Time to sew up and get ready for summer. Pattern Review First thing, be sure you cut your pattern correctly. I was so absent minded when I was cutting and cut the two front pieces the same way. Luckily, the fabric is quite similar on both sides, so you can’t tell that one side is the wrong side and the other…

Sewing: Simplicity 1429 Pattern Review
Simplicity 1429 pattern review. This one is a fun one. Tricky, yes…but fun. Why tricky? The pants are so baggy (and that’s the way I want them) yet that makes it difficult to see the shape. Simply put, there is a massive amount of fabric! Pattern Review I made pattern D. For the pants I selected a rayon jersey. It’s light (so light) and airy for summer. The best part, it kind of feels like I’m wearing pjs. haha. Okay – first, my suggestion is…

Sewing: McCall’s 6752 Pattern Review
McCall’s 6752 pattern review. I’ve done a couple of reviews recently, McCall’s 6751 and McCall’s 6751 part two, and all I keep doing is learning. Pattern Review For this project I used pattern D and for the fabric I used a jersey knit. One draw back – it’s a bit sheer (you can see my white tank top through the fabric)…next time, I’d use a double knit or something a bit less sheer. Second tip – I made this dress huge! Don’t do that. I…
