night off from cooking!



Last night my darling husband made ME dinner!!  Normally I cook and he cleans up behind me, but what a wonderful treat last night!  Even more shocking the kids were home with us!!  As they have grown we have started seeing less and less of them, so it was nice having a full house.  It was also nice when they all left and we had peace and quiet again!  LOL!

cookies and collars oh my!

It was another crazy DIY evening last night!  But first I was in need of some vegan yumminess!!  I love making these cookies as they are so quick and easy to do so.  It is also a great way to use up those bananas before they go bad!

 

Vegan Banana Chocolate Chip Coconut Cookies

loving my diy time!

What a weekend!  I'm not sure how many smoky black bean tamales I made, but it's a LOT!!  We have been enjoying them non stop, sending some to my mother-in-law and have some in the freezer for another day!  They really are easy to make, the slow part was waiting on them to steam and cook as I could only do about a dozen at a time.

Looking forward to dinner Wednesday night - the husband is cooking!  Watch for what the vegan husband can cook up!!

As promised photos from my DIY 3XL tee to cute skirt project!!  Here are the before and after photos:

what's cooking in your kitchen this weekend?

I am ready to make tamales this weekend!  My vegan Smokey Fiesta Black Bean Tamales were so amazing that I plan on making about four batches of them and freezing them up.  My darling husband has even volunteered to help - he'll be helping clean dishes and filling up beers!  I look forward to sharing photos on Monday!  Just hoping we don't eat them all this weekend.  LOL!

What are you cooking this weekend?

Update on my to do list:

Dog Room (this is a long to do list, but need to get started). We have cleaned out the room that use to be my den (scrapbook room) and will be our kick butt dog room soon! My goal just this week is to finish cleaning everything up, box it up and this weekend pull out the carpet.

Finish up End Table to Dog Bed project. Still have lots of painting, putting on the hardware and make the inside dog cushion.

Make Steelers tee-shirt (from Rome, but way too big) into a cool skirt for football season!

Learn how to make cool dog collars for my pups!

Finish Avery's Memory Box to hang up.

what day is it? what day is it??

Yes, it is hump day!!  I'm ready for the weekend already!!  LOL!  I have been in such a DIY mood that all I can think about is the craft store and ideas that are spinning around in my head!!

Last night I did FINISH my End Table to Dog Bed project!!  The cushion did not take me long at all to make and I must say that I am really happy with it!!

italian (vegan) sausage sandwiches - for those days when you need "naughty" food!

A couple of weeks ago my husband eyeballed some vegan Italian sausages at Sprouts and was dying to try them out.  We had planned on making pizza for last nights preseason football game and thought they would be a yummy topping, but we couldn't make it through the weekend without getting into them and trying them out.  We felt like we were being naughty bad with these sandwiches!!  They were beyond amazing!  And great with some vegan chipotle mayo and sweet potatoes fries.

Italian Sausage Sandwiches

Ingredients

2 Tofurky Italian Sausages
1 Red Pepper, sliced
1 Onion, sliced
1 Cup Mushrooms, sliced
Whole Wheat buns
Chipotle Mayo (optional)

In frying pan using a tablespoon of vegetable broth sauté onion, red pepper and mushrooms for 5-7 minutes.  I cooked my sausages right along side, but you could also grill.  Place cooked sausage into bun and top with veggies.  Add chipotle mayo or condiment of your choice. Enjoy!
