Apron



I have had this apron around for a while and just decided on the design - a simple monogram and bow. I used Siser HTV and my NEW heat press! I thought these would make great Mother's Day gifts!

Coasters



I was able to find these mouse-pad like coasters at Dollar Tree. (They came in packages 6 for $1.00) They came in multiple colors. I used my HTV on them and they came out great. These would make great gifts huh?!

Irish Soda Bread


Ilove making irish Soda Bread this time of year. This recipe is a WINNER:
Irish Soda Bread


3 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
3/4 stick melted butter
1 cup raisins
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp baking powder
caraway seeds (optional)

Put all dry ingredients in a bowl including sugar and raisins, make a well and put in buttermilk and melted butter. Mix only until dry ingredients are incorporated. Split into 2 balls. Place on a greased baking sheet. Bake @ 350 50-60 minutes.

I add turbinado (cane sugar) on the top before baking I have also added cranberries and pecans instead of the raisins I do not use caraway seeds because it is more kid-friendly.

Mini Hamburgers?


Here is what my son and a freind made a few days ago - mini "hamburgers". I've seen these several places on the web and I had the items on hand.

They are made from:
vanilla wafers (like Nilla Wafers) for the bun
fruit roll ups yellow and red for the tomato and cheese
mint patty (like York Peppermint pattie) for the burger
coconut with green food coloring for the lettuce
real sesame seeds
a small amount of caramel sauce on top of the bun so the seeds stick
