Savory Meat Pie


I think I found this recipe in an old Food Network Magazine and it has gotten rave reviews from my family every time I make it. 
In fact, my husband asked me to never ever share this recipe. He doesn't know that thousands of people have already seen it in that magazine, haha. 

This is an absolutely delicious savory beef, veggie, and cheddar cheese pie. I use store-bought puff pastry or pie crust but you can use your favorite pie crust recipe.


Making a Patchwork Quilt

I've been sewing various crafts, curtains, pillows, kid's clothes, and Halloween Costumes through the years, but never a full-size quilt.  

Recently I did a Camper Remodel and wanted to use the leftover fabrics from reupholstering the cushions and sewing new curtains in the camper to make a camper quilt to match.

One of the easiest quilts to make and one of my favorites is a patchwork-style quilt.


Camper Remodel, Part 2


This is the second post about remodeling our little camper. 
The first post you can find here: Camper Remodel, Part One.

We purchased our used little camper a couple years ago. We love to tent camp and will continue to do so but I always wanted a little camper. 
I'm in love with small vintage campers and although our camper is not vintage, just older, it works great as our first. 
Our camper box is only 16 feet long but very cozy and just right for us for now.






Jamaican Jerk Pork Tenderloin


I asked for this wonderful recipe from our friends, David and Beth in 2010 after attending a dinner party they hosted. We just love this recipe and it's a hit each time I serve it. 

Jamaican Pork Tenderloin was the main course I served at our Women's Only Dinner Party and it's also great for a romantic dinner or holidays like Valentine's Day or other occasions.
The recipe was created by Lori Welander and won the first place prize in McCormick's 2002 Cook-Off Contest.



Camper Remodel, Part One


We purchased our used little camper a couple years ago. My husband Bill and I love to tent camp and have even tent camped all the way around Lake Superior while doing the Lake Superior Circle Tour.  
But I've always wanted a little camper. 
And I just love all the remodeled vintage campers I see, they're so romantic!
Our first little camper is not vintage, just older, but we did get it at a fantastic price, especially for being in like-new condition.
