Give It a Whirl

Storm Clouds steadily advances toward completion!

With the quilting nearly finished, sewing

the binding (the icing on the cake!) comes next.

From the very beginning, I've so enjoyed 

the creative process for this particular (Project Linus) quilt 

that for anyone interested in using scraps  

in a beautiful & fun way, I'll provide a free "recipe" 

rather than a precise pattern.

"Recipe" will make more sense once it all comes together,

which will be within the next few weeks - stay tuned!

(Squeal!)

Over the holidays, my dear friend Chris gifted me this 

festively adorned bottle of blood orange olive oil 

from a shop she loves, F. Olivers.  

The fragrance is delicious and delightful. 

The olive oil came with a recipe for Harvest Hummus

which I just had to try!

Throw everything in the food processor & give it a whirl! 

(Thank you for the fresh pumpkin Ellen!)

F. Oliver's Harvest Hummus

  

1-15oz. can pumpkin puree

2 Tbsp. tahini

1 clove minced garlic

1 Tbsp. fresh, finely chopped parsley

1/2 tsp. salt

1 Tbsp. F. Oliver's Fresh Pressed 

Blood Orange EVOO

1/2 tsp. cumin

1 Tbsp. lemon juice

Combine all ingredients in a food processor 

and puree until smooth and creamy.

Serve with pita chips, veggies, 

or use as a sandwich spread.

Optional: sprinkle with paprika, cinnamon 

or toasted pumpkin seeds.

Are you trying new recipes or whipping up cool projects?

I'd love to see and/or hear!
