New recipes made this weekend fun!  First taco salad Friday and Sunday balsamic honey bacon chicken.  Both turned out delicious.

For the chicken I made a marinade with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, brown sugar, and steak seasoning.  I let it sit in the fridge for about 30 min- 1 hour.  

Next I made the glaze with honey, Worcestershire sauce bacon, and hot sauce.  

Oh man it was so good!  Recipe in the Dinners section.  

Friday night we made taco salads!  I got ground beef with taco seasoning, avocados, cheese, tortilla strips, fried jalapenos, shredded cheese, guacamole ranch dressing, green onions, tomato, olives, sour cream, and southwest salad mix.

You can also use grilled chicken, but we liked the ground beef best.  Recipe is posted in the Mexican food section.

It was so good we ate one Saturday and Sunday!  

I've cut out all of the squares and after several layout options ( with the help of David) I have decided on the diagonal layout for Grandma's quilt.  I think it helps to have a design.  If you missed the first post, I'm making a quilt for my Grandma out of my Granddad's old shirts who recently just passed away.  I'm so excited to finish it so I can see her face when I surprise her!  💕

Here are the pieces layed out on another blanket.  I'm starting to sew them together now!  There will be an inner and outer boarder as well and music notes with roses on the back!  

I finished Francesca's quilt earlier this week and shipped to her.  She received her surprise today!  She was so excited and absolutely loved it.  I just love making her day.  I had so much fun quilting this blanket for her new baby Cristian.  It turned out so well!  

The first completed square! 

Here I am putting it all together! 

The finished quilt! 💕
