Six Word Saturday

Ah, Saturday!  Unexpected company, unexpected joy!

Six Word Saturday

Practical things done!  Cookies baking!  Ahhhhh!

Okay, confession time.  Wrote the above yesterday.

If truth be told today would be:

Sipping coffee . . . still in nightie . . . raining . . . 

Seven Word Sunday

Fresh Eating

Katie:  After realizing how many artificial ingredients and how much sugar (8 grams per serving!) were in the low-fat salad dressing I’d been using, I decided to make my own dressing.  I used this recipe from Cooking Light, which was super quick to make.  I ended up with a delicious and healthier dressing that tastes great, especially with spinach.  Since it was so easy to make, I think I’ll definitely experiment with other homemade dressing in the future!

Strawberry Salad Dressing  (from Cooking Light)

• 2 cups whole strawberries
• 1/3 cup champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Blend everything in a blender or food processor.  It’s that simple!

Memory making!

Somebody Pour The Milk

Okay, we have tree cookies every Christmas.  I can’t remember one without.  This year rather than a standard butter cookie I made them from the familiar sugar cookie dough – as you would make it for cut out cookies – not the “drop” cookie version.  I can now say my home has many trees.  I also have oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, am about to make lemon cookies, and will be making pumpkin muffin/cupcakes and likely a ginger bread . . . don’t know what else.  Wish y’all were here!
