...Over the Weekend....

...another random weekend post...just a bunch of things that got done...in addition to wedding things...haha...
...I hate to throw away those last few slices of bread when I buy a new loaf each Saturday...so I've been using them up by making croutons...

...I just oil the pan...and lay the slices out...then turn them over so that both sides have a light coating...then I sprinkle on some Italian seasoning, garlic salt and paper...
...then I cut them into cubes...
...this time...while they were baking I prepped some collards for the Instant Pot...and these were baby collards...unlike the large leaves I usually get...this bunch was all little tender baby greens...so...so good...
...then the croutons were ready...

...we love these croutons so much...they are nice and crisp without being hard like the ones in the bags...
...speaking so shopping...my local grocery store now carries this vegan sugar...when we lived in North Dakota...beet sugar was easy to come by and not 'spendy'...but here in the South...most sugar is cane sugar and is processed with bone char...
...and this bag specifically states that it is not...
...months ago...Mom had given me some linens that belonged to my Great-Grandma (Momaw)...and I finally got around to treating some of the spots...
...just made a paste of oxy-clean...and scrubbed the spots with the paste and then left them soaking...I'll let you know how the turn out...
...I thought this was a funny photo as it looks like I'm making chocolate chip muffins...but it's actually lima beans and kidney beans soup that the Man made and I'm putting it into the freezer in the muffin tin so that it's easier to portion out when we take it out of the freezer...
...and finally I made a plate of microwave potato chips again...so easy...crisp and good...

...what randomness did you get up to over the weekend...

~Wishing you a lovely start to your week!

  1. I didn't realize that about the sugar cane process. Slightly related, I just finished a book Sugar in the Blood - a true ancestry history about the Barbados sugar cane industry. Mostly about the slaves and politics of the 17 and 1800's. Interesting reading and totally different than what I normally read.

    1. Hey K,
      That sounds like a good book...I'll have to see if my library has it...
