Best Ever Sloppy Joes
I have made Sloppy Joes numerous times AND ways. Finally, my husband had to concede that yes, my mom’s recipe really is the best. If you don’t eat so much meat or want to be frugal, you can use lentils to stretch it further or substitute ground turkey and it is still excellent! You need: […] Read more…

Finished Objects Friday – August edition
Nope, my sewing list hasn’t been worked on at all. I still haven’t gotten my sewing machine working yet. I got the thread to stop snapping by replacing the needle (which I’ve never done), but I screwed with the tension before trying that and now I think I have to get that piece working again.
