What's cooking?: Meatballs in a Tangy Plum Sauce.

I felt like making meatballs for tonight's dinner and according to my son it was the best dinner ever.
You can also serve these as an appetizer on their own.
I mixed organic ground beef with chopped onions , garlic and green peppers, I also added a mix of spices to the meat to give it more flavor, the sauce was a combination of soy sauce, plum sauce, honey, fresh ginger and Korean barbecue sauce. I sauteed broccoli cause the kids seems to eat it better than when I cook it.

Since I have been practicing with my new sewing machine I thought I will make myself a Maxi dress for my trip to the Caribbean.
The tutorial was very easy, and if I can make it you can make it too.

I bought my fabric at Hancock fabric, it's a knit fabric and I paid 20 dollars for 2 yards and half.
I still have leftover fabric that I will put to use for another diy project.
The Tutorial for this maxi dress can be found here thank you Mimi.

What's cooking? Pasta and Shrimp with homemade Pesto.

I tried to make dinner from scratch every single day during the week, the weekends are for my husband to cook. There are day's I want to cook something delicious but have not a lot of time.

So tonight's dinner is easy, quick and yummy.

We had tons of basil in our herb garden so my husband made pesto and we froze some it.

For this dish seasoned my shrimp and then sauteed it  (you can use chicken too) with chopped onions, then I added the pesto to it. Later on I added pasta I used Fettuccine and garnished it with toasted pine nuts, and fresh chopped basil.
