Broccoli and Chicken Braid: a pinterest inspired dinner part 1

Image
A friend asked me, "So, what happened to last week's blog?"  fabric, diy snaps, and snap tool It failed. Simple as that. By now it is quite apparent that I don't like posting the failures. That doesn't mean that I won't try again and I still have to figure out what to do with the fabric...bet that got somebody's attention.   What did I attempt? Another round for the pinterest chronicles: the Bina multi-purpose wrap. I think my gray knit will become a skirt. Or a shirt. Or a pillow...anybody else see where I'm going with this?

Potatoes: a pinterest inspired dinner part 2

Potatoes Just simply potatoes. <-this inspiration.="" is="" my="" p=""> Fresh out of the oven.                                   This is the my result. -> There is quite a difference between the two, but this is what happens when you are given limited instructions (I could only find the ingredients). My oven was busy with the broccoli and chicken bread (previous post - tonight's part 1) so I thought I'd do some stove top cooking and then put it in the oven. The desired results might not have occurred, but they were good regardless. Ingredients: 2 tablespoons butter Garlic (I used garlic powder) 2 cups Chicken broth (enough to cover the potatoes) New potatoes (I used 2 cans, drained) The steps: 1. Bring butter, garlic, and broth to a boil 2. Add potatoes and let cook 3. Remove liquid (save it...it's flavored broth. Use it to make soup or something. Nothing raw was cooked in it.) 4
