Not Sewing - Just a Whole Lot of Cooking

It's been a slow slow sewing season around here.  It's been eerie taking a long leave from sewing ... between keeping up with the shops and having the kids around during the summer months, sewing is on the very very (almost) very bottom of the list.  However, there has been some yummy cooking around here - take a peak :) ... I miss summer cooking already!

We live in California and when it's salmon season, you get whole salmon EVERYWHERE.  Here's a beauty we picked up.  It was a pretty good sized salmon that I stuffed with lemons, onions, cilantro, green onions then seasoned with salt/pepper.  Popped it in the oven for about half an hour.  And YUM.  Perfection :).  Maybe next year I'll try it on the grill too.

 We even brought back the lettuce wrap - haven't had these in ages.  It's a great way to use up random things in the fridge. Here's this one with a little bit of chicken, carrots, sprouts and ginger.  I think the hardest part was just making sure we didn't tear the lettuce.

Stir Fry :)!  One of the (many) favorites around our household.  It's a great way to sneak in a lot of veggies too for the kids ;)  Take a look at the veggies!

Now on to fall cooking :) - I'm dreaming of stews, slow cooker ANYTHING and some yummy fall drinks.  Oh yeah, and maybe even back to my sewing table for a new quilt or two before winter...here's to hoping!
