Lunches for Quilters & Tots

]]> Do you scurry around making school lunches, getting snacks ready, or checking the hot lunch menu if you have youngsters at home?  If you’re working outside the home at quilting or other employment, do you wonder what to take?

I’ve written about this topic at my Mary Emma’s Country Kitchen blog, under School Lunch Variations, covering school lunches from my mom’s day to the present when my grandchildren take lunch and snacks to school.  There certainly have been changes over the years. 

You’ll also find a recipe for Mayonnaise Cake, something we made often during my childhood for dessert at home and a lunch box special.

What do you do so lunch box time isn’t so mundane and a frantic rush? 

 Incidentally, do you make quilted or patchwork lunch boxes or carriers?

Another “Yum Yum” Recipe for Quilters to Try

]]> QuiltingAndPatchwork.com

I’ve discovered Cyndi’s Busy Family Meals blog (another b5media blog) and enjoy her quick recipes.  I’ve written a “Country Kitchen” cooking column for years and have explored various types of foods and cooking.  I find now I search for recipes and meal ideas that are quick to prepare and lend themselves to a very busy lifestyle.

Since blueberries also are very good for us, according to recent research, in addition to being tasty, my attention was caught by “Jean’s Blueberry Quickbread” recipe at Busy Family Meals [for busy quilters].

What quick meal preparation tips have you found in your busy quilting and fabric art world?

Recipes for Quilters from the Food Bloggers

]]> QuiltingAndPatchwork.com

Since quilters usually enjoy cooking, too, I’ll share with you some food information and recipes contributed by the Food Bloggers.  This group combines their talents and shares their food blogs. 

 I thought it would be interesting to join the group since I often include recipes at Quilting and Patchwork and write a print and online newspaper column, “Country Kitchen.” In addition, I have a Mary Emma’s Country Kitchen blog and Tea Time News & Notes.

Bake Tsoureki for Orthodox Easter (April 27) and learn at All Holiday Cafe 
how to prepare this traditional bread.

What’s In Season Now! One way to assure your family of tasty meals is to pay attention to what’s in season now, a post from Busy Family Meals. 

Recipes for Quilters to Share at Quilting and Patchwork.  Quilters throughout the ages have enjoyed exchanging recipes as well as patterns.

ENJOY!
