May Giveaway Day

**Giveaway closed. Thank you for all the comments!**


I'm participating in the Sew Mama Sew May Giveaway Day. Up for grabs is this super cute apron.  Half aprons come in handy, especially in time for BBQ weather.

I love the colors. So summery!

Apron with my little herb garden

I love to cook comfort foods... mac and cheese, lasagna, meatloaf, pot pies... but, I'm experimenting all of the time with lightening them up a bit so that I don't give my diners a heart attack. I love it! :) It is fun to challenge myself.

How fun! Thanks for the chance to win.

My specialty seems to be "leftover/pantry" cooking. As my kids say, my best meals are when I clean out the fridge or try to use the remaining pantry contents.

My worse, breads... I kill all breads. lol

Quiche. I love to make quiche in every flavor combination (my favorite will always be tomato, feta, and spinach). Making the crust is a little messy though and I think your apron would be a great addition to that process.

Thank you for the chance and great work.

Anonymous said...

I want to wear this apron just because! Do I have to be in the kitchen? My true love is baking, but I have to not bake unless it's for something specific, or I will eat it all. Everyday cooking sometimes gets in the way too.
