Painting apparently is so much more time-consuming than I remember. Of course maybe that’s because we have few additional rooms we didn’t have before (hopefully, I’ll have lot’s of pics to post soon). Our garage is home to boxes and furniture, someday my car will have his own bedroom. Until then, here are some projects I would like to create once we’re moved in enough. A few of these have been on my to-do list for quite some time…

In My Oven:
Homemade Goldfish Crackers look so delicious and a fun project for Pumpkin and me. I already have a cookie cutter shaped like a fish, so I don’t need to make her homemade cut soda can version (yikes!)

Copycat Outback bread recipe, with homemade butter of course.

And these Scallops in Lemon Beurre Blanc Sauce.

Under My Needle
These cute throw pillows have been on my to-do list since they were posted! They add some great texture, although I’d want them to be a bit more washable and would use fleece instead of felt.

I’ve also had a soft spot for this hedgehog softie, I may have already linked to him.

In My Garden:
Super cute antique spoon plant markers with flare!

Landscaping is a far way off, but I can’t wait to make these classic stepping stones.

Last week started with me having a small medical procedure (don’t worry, nothing is wrong), Hubster hosting a stomach bug and Pumpkin with a fever. I only cooked two actual meals last week! Half-way through the week, Hubster and I both have both been extra busy with the extra-curricular activities we advisor. So last week my posts were sparse, hopefully this week I’ll be back on track…

The only meat we both eat is chicken and I’m sick of it. I’ve really been enjoying keeping fresh shrimp in my freezer. I made Mediterranean Seafood Crêpes for myself and Mediterranean Chicken Crêpes for Hubster. I made my basic savory crêpes recipe and substituted garlic powder for the nutmeg.

Mediterranean Crêpes

Mediterranean Crêpes

Ingredients:
6 crêpes, olive oil, shrimp, scallops, 1 Tbsp. minced onions, 1/2 c. sun-dried tomatoes, 1/2 quartered artichoke hearts, 1/4 c. sliced hearts of palm, 1/2 c. kalamata olives, 1/8 c. capers, 1 tsp. oregano, Feta cheese, 1 c. heavy cream, fresh cracked pepper (I used a four peppercorn blend)

Directions:
Warm olive oil and add onions. Saute shrimp and scallops until almost cooked. Add cream and tomatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Add artichokes, hearts of palm, olives and capers and simmer. Remove food from sauce and keep warm. Add Feta and pepper to cream, stirring constantly until well combined. Allow sauce to thicken. Add filling to crêpes and pour sauce over top. Serve immediately.

*For Mediterranean Chicken Crêpes, substitute chicken breast for shrimp and scallops. You could marinate chicken breast in Italian or Greek dressing before hand.

What’s for dinner tonight?
