Kid friendly sloppy joes

Normally kids are the picky eaters, well in my family I am the picky eater.  I have never been a huge fan of meat, but I love this recipe.  The flavors that develop so quickly are yummy and I love that a home cooked dinner can be ready in 30 minutes


Home made sloppy joes

Hamburger buns (8)
1 lb Hamburger
1 14 oz can of chicken gumbo soup
1 cup ketchup
2 tbs mustard
2 tbs brown sugar
1/8 tsp worcestershire sauce

Brown and drain the hamburger.  Add the remaining ingredients and let simmer on med-low for 15 minutes to develop flavors.  Serve with homemade baked french fries or coleslaw.

Band wagon

So I decided to join the band wagon blog and didn't have to think hard about what I am passionate about-sewing, specifically quilting.  A few years ago I received a baby quilt for my second child.  I looked at it in amazement and thought, "I can do that."  So I convinced my amazing husband that I needed a sewing machine.  He then surprised me several months later with a great machine, it isn't fancy, but it has met all my needs so far.  Through trial and error I have gained a lot of quilting knowledge and skills.  I love learning new techniques and new patterns, but what I love best is the expression on someones face when they receive a quilt and love it as much as I do.
