1st Sewing Project

It might not come to a surprise to some of you

that Micah and I are in the process

of adopting and infant!

We still don't know when it will happen;

we have been told that it could take

anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 years...

(we are in month 3 of waiting)...

but during this time

I have been slowly creating a nursery.

And one thing

I can now cross off my list

is getting a bassinet.

I found this one

at a consignment store.

But when I found it,

it had a very ugly

white ruffle bib on it.

That would not do at all,

so I bought some fabric that I liked

and made a new one.

And it was my first time sewin

...anything!!!

I'm proud of myself.

Cozy Socks

Even though it has been
especially warm
for January,
the snow barely began
to flutter today.

Oh how I wish I had these
on my feet right now.

dinner recipe!

Beef Short Ribs in a Tomato Sauce

Adapted from: The Pioneer Woman

8 whole Beef Short Ribs1
2 tbsp Olive Oil
Salt And Pepper, to taste
1 tbsp Sugar
8 cloves Garlic, Crushed
1 whole Onion, Diced
1 cup Red Wine
1 can (28 Ounce) Whole Tomatoes
1 can (14 Ounce) Tomato Sauce
1 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
1/4 tsp Thyme
1 pound Spaghetti
Grated Parmesan Cheese

1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees.

2. Heat olive oil in a heavy pot over medium-high to high heat. Sprinkle short ribs with salt and pepper. Brown short ribs in oil, about 1 1/2 or 2 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.

3. Pour off excess oil. Throw garlic and onions into pot. Stir to cook for a minute or two, then add tomatoes, tomato sauce, wine, salt, red pepper flakes, and thyme. Stir to combine.

4. Set short ribs back into the pot, submerging as much as possible in the sauce. Cover pot and place into the oven.

5. Cook for 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Short ribs should be tender and falling off the bone.
