Salsa

This salsa with made with Kraft Italian Dressing.  It is a keeper for me.  My Daughter ate this so fast, it didn't even stand a chance to sit and savor.

Here is where you can find the recipe.

Yesterday, my Daughter and I took a trip to Ikea.  I found the cutest little bowls that hold a couple of tablespoons of spices, butters, oils...........I just had to have them.  They will be perfect for holding my smaller ingredients until my meats or batters are ready for their arrival.

My Daughter has only a couple of weeks to teach me how to take better pictures.  I think she is doing a great job.  She lectured me big time about the photograph with the toilet paper roll in it and insisted that I take it out.  I refuse to remove it, it shows my progress and lets her know that someday she will be a great teacher in her field.

Linen Spray

My Daughter and I went to Target yesterday and I just can't resist the $1.00 bins as you walk in.  I know they do that on purpose and it pulls me in every time.  I found hand towels for $1.00.  They are not of the highest of quality but for a buck they work for me.  Perfect for my kitchen crafts.

I had to put together a batch of linen spray.

My recipe for linen spray is:

Lavender essence oil 40 drops
Vodka 1/4 cup
3 cups of filtered water

In a spray bottle, pour in the vodka and lavender, mix really well.  Add the three cups of water and shake it up.

You can use linen spray to spritz your linens before you iron them, or you can just spray it directly on your bedding and curtains and upholstery.  Might want to colorfast check first with your upholstery.  I even use it as a body spray. Just shake it up each time, before use.

Lavender has a lot of uses and I am sure if you google you can find all types of effective uses for lavender.

Now I just need to figure out which applique to use.
