Made & Making

 

No active knitting projects at the moment, although theoretically I'm knitting R a cardigan. I should...figure out where the yarn is...Clove & cinnamon chocolate chip cookies

I set up my spinning wheel on Saturday! It's exciting to have that actually ready to go now. It's an unfinished Ashford Traditional, if there's anyone who's into spinning details! 

Cooking hits (sources linked or noted where available):

• spicy labneh--we had a snacky dinner with this + pita + chickpea salad + veggies
• slow cooker salsa chicken thighs--literally just a good green salsa dumped into the slow cooker and cooked on low 6-8 hours. Delicious as taco filling!
• grilled sausages with peppers & garlic aioli
• clove & cinnamon chocolate chip cookies (The Cardamom Trail)
• strawberry buttermilk shortcakes
• blackberry coconut macaroon tart (Super Natural Every Day)
• turkey black bean chili 
• Infused water and fruit syrup with seltzer water have been in a regular rotation this month—very refreshing and not too much trouble to make!

April was mostly about house stuff, but I'm excited to get back to making postcards and birthday cards for friends this month!
