Have you ever grown bell peppers in your garden? We love to drop them in breakfast bowls, use them in fajitas or cook them down with sausage and onions. This is one of those vegetables that we hate to buy in the store because they’re so easy to grow and freeze. If your green peppers are…
Here’s my reminder that it is ok to cut up old quilts that are too torn and ripped to use as blankets and create something brand new. Here’s a crazy quilt tote bag that I created using an old family quilt that is no longer usable as a quilt. Now when I take my snacks…
