Project idea....actually worked!

I love cooking for the creativity and design behind a recipe, but I also love crafts and designing projects for the very same reason.  Re-purposing is where its at! 

When I began blogging again I added "Top Notch Eats and Beats" so I can add craft projects or general projects from time to time to spice up the blog a bit.  

I don't pretend to be the best sewer/crafter in the world, but once in awhile a  project idea comes to mind and it actually works.  It actually works without a pattern and just a general idea in my head.  

I recently ordered some Toms for a wedding I was in a few weeks back and I was so happy with them I wanted to commemorate that wedding and purchase with another item I could make. 

You can see the beautiful Toms a little bit in the picture below with my husband. 

 

So I had the great fabric from a project awhile back and a really wanted a new bag, but didn't want to spend any money.  So made a new bag and smacked that Toms flag right on it.  It worked out beautifully!  Making bags is really the easiest sewing project you can get.  If you can sew a straight line or kind of a straight line you can do it! 

Back with more recipes soon !

All time favorite dessert

My all time favorite dessert is mixed fruit cherries, bananas, peaches, plums, kiwis, nectarines, any type of fruit will do with whipped cream and fresh nutmeg grated on top.  That is it.  As we approach summer ending (sniffle, sniffle) give this a shot.  It is a wonderful summer dessert. 

I love it and you should try it.....that is all !

Pot Sticker Burgers with Spicy Asian Slaw

Adapted from: Iowa Girl Eats

I have found an amazing new food blog.  It's called Iowa Girl Eats.  Every single recipe I have made from this site has been incredible.  

I just recently got a new job.  I started on today so things will steadily get back to normal I promise.  It was tremendously difficult even to check my email during the time I was looking for a new job let alone get on here and do new posts.  This recipe is delicious and fairly low-carb....Get to cooking !

 For the burgers:

• 1 package 99% fat-free ground turkey breast 
• 1 egg
• 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 1 clove garlic
• 1/2″ knob fresh ginger
• 1 1/2 cups coleslaw mix

For the Spicy Asian Slaw:

• 3 Tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 Tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 Tablespoon water
• 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or more)
• 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/8 teaspoon ginger powder
• 1 green onion, sliced
• 4 cups coleslaw mix

First mix up the burgers and grill them up in the fry pan, grill, or they can even be broiled in the oven.

 Then mix up the "slaw" ingredients and place it  up.  Add in the burgers and top with sriracha, or hot sauce of your choosing, or none at all!

 

This is a wonderfully quick, delicious, and healthy meal.  Get to cooking! 

Enjoy !!!
