| Spaghetti Pie |
Hello everyone. I hope you are all having a good week. Are you all getting prepared and ready to celebrate Easter?
Well, when Easter time arrives I love making Spaghetti Pie for our family.
I usually make this spaghetti pie each year as it was a tradition to eat in my husbands family. My husband's mom and dad used to make this pie and other foods for a traditional Italian Easter dinner.
Many years ago when Easter time would arrive we would go visit my husband's Aunt who loved to make this pie for family and friends. She would be in her kitchen making so many pies and would always save us spaghetti pie and a meat pie to bring home to eat with our Easter dinner.
I was so interested in making this pie myself and happy when my husband's aunt decided to share the recipe with me. This recipe makes a large pan and enough to serve at least 12 people.
I hope you all enjoy this pie as much as my family does.

| Knit Cowl |
Hello blog friends. I am happy to say that I finally finished knitting the cowl that I started making back in the fall. I finished this in the middle of January but I did not get a chance to share it on the blog until now.
I originally wanted to knit this into a large scarf for myself but I got a little bored knitting it. I figured out the solution and I decided to make it into a cowl. Does that ever happen to you where you get bored making something? I find for myself the seed stitch a little tedious. I will have to find a knit stitch that I like better for my next scarf I make.
You might remember me mentioning about this scarf and this yarn from this post I did HERE.
 |
I knitted this cowl in the seed stitch and cast on 21 stitches. I used 9 US or 5.5 mm needles. The cowl is 25 inches long and 6 1/2 inches wide.
I folded the cowl in half and then sewed up the two sides together to form a cowl.

This is what the knit cowl looks like. I am so happy I finished knitting the cowl and I enjoy wearing it with my outfits and different coats.

I still have two more skeins of this yarn left and at some point I will probably make myself crocheted handwarmers.
Do you have any finished projects on your needles?
Thanks for stopping by and have a nice week and weekend.

Hello blog friends. I love celebrating St. Patrick's Day and for the past few years I've posted this recipe for Irish Soda Bread on the blog.
Irish Soda Bread is one of my favorite breads and I was so happy when this recipe was given to me by our friend and his mom was from Ireland.
This recipe is so simple and easy to make and tastes best made warm right out of the oven and smothered with some butter.
I bake this bread every year and I hope you will enjoy this Irish Soda Bread recipe.
IRISH SODA BREAD RECIPE
INGREDIENTS:
3 cups regular flour
1 egg
1 1/3 cups buttermilk
1/2 stick margarine
1 cup raisins
1/4 box caraway seeds
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
(Dash of nutmeg or cinnamon - if desired)
DIRECTIONS:
All ingredients at room temperature
Use shallow greased 9" baking tin. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Bring raisins to boiling point only. Drain and cool. Sift together all dry ingredients. Rub in margarine. Beat egg and buttermilk together. Add to mixture using a wooden spoon. Fold in raisins. Mixture will be on the dry side- light dough. Roll into baking tin. Smooth top with spoon. Bake 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes. Cool on rack thoroughly. Glaze with melted sugar (2 tablespoons) in 1/2 oz. boiling water. Top of cake only, sprinkle top with cinnamon sugar. Slice and serve with butter.
Enjoy!
** NOTE: I did not use the caraway seeds or the sugar glaze on top of bread that the recipe calls for, and it still tasted amazing.
WISHING YOU A HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!
Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a wonderful end of the week and weekend.
