Simple Asian Inspired Dinners

The weather is California is been very warm.  Spring temperature days and slightly cooler nights has made me want to eat lighter meals as oppose to the typical winters stews.

Like a light lettuce wrap - with a little bit of chicken, sprouts, garlic and typical Asian spices make for a quick little dinner.  This turned out yummy and quickly :).

I had some oil left over from frying up some fries the previous day, so I also whipped a batch of crab & cream cheese stuffed wontons.  The crab was a lump crab meat I froze from the holidays.  Great way to use up little bits of food.  Only took a few tablespoons of lump crab and cream cheese and we had a HUGE batch - enough for the family.

Hopefully we see a real winter here soon.  The hills are looking very dry and water is getting scarce.  Bring out the rain sticks!

WIP & A little Visitor

I've been busy trying to finish up some new quilts - this has been going on for....months??  It's a log cabin version of all jewel tones.  Totally need a break from some of the softer tones I've been using lately.  A nice welcome with some of these keep pretty tones.

I'm making several of these quilts - all in different sizes. So, about 20 blocks done and 100 more to go??? ;)

Good thing quilting is such a relaxing activity :).  I love how the colors are all working together even though they are all from different manufacturers and collections - a lot of colors I don't usually work with like purples and mustards.

On a side note, here a little visitor I found in the shop the other day:

Love my little princess :)

Have a great weekend everyone!

Made By ME #109 Linky Party and Features

Back to our regularly scheduled posting!  I don't know about you but I am a little glad that the holidays are behind us.  After months of planning, gatherings, presents, food (YUM!) and funky schedules, I am very happy to have the old routine back.  My older son is back in school, younger one resumes preschool in a few days and the baby is finally able to nap again in the of the day.  Blissful :).

Like I said - back to our regularly scheduled LINKY PARTY :)!  Here's some highlights from a couple of weeks back and link up at the end of this post with your fabulous creations.

AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
