I almost started last year's On Ringo Lake, but after having fun picking fabric, I was simply unable to get started and lost track of the whole thing. This year, I had </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">half</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> of </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">the fabric ready and I am a go for 'Good fortune'....so excited, and so far, I am having so much fun seeing the first clue come together. It's addicting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Go here to check out the full instructions from Bonnie's website.</span><br />

<div>

<div>

I have made some yummy banana bread before, and I've gotten a fair knack of replacing the wheat in a recipe, but this one is my all time favorite, so far. Moist, fresh, and doesn't 'taste' gluten free.<br />

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray your loaf pan, I used the longer version, seen above, and love how it heated it through, perfectly. It is a Norpro and it is approx 11.5" x 4.5".<br />
Insert metal blade of your processor, pulse to combine the flour, baking powder and soda, salt, and nuts, about 5 times. You can use a 5x9.<br />
Reserve in bowl.<br />
Process banana until pureed, about 30 seconds. Scrape work bowl and process another 10 seconds. Add eggs, sugar, yogurt, butter and vanilla extract. Process until well combined, about 10-15 secs. Add dry ingredients. Pulse until flour is just mixed, about 5 to 6 times.<br />
Pour into prepared pan. Bake until golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. (50 approx for 5x 9 pan)<br />

The very best gluten free cookie cookie that I have ever made, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that tastes just like a real gluten filled cookie!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seriously! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a big hit, even with the non-gluten eating folks around here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

As I have stated before, when I am making homemade gf goodies, I prefer to use ingredients without the use of starchy fillers to replace the flour portion of the cookie. I also LOVE almond flour, but like to use it in small doses for the sake of taste AND for the sake of cost effectiveness!</div>

Tonya's Tastes Just Like Gluten Filled Chocolate Chip Cookies!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 cup butter unsalted softened</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3/4 c granulated sugar (just under)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3/4 c packed brown sugar (just under)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 egg</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 1/4 c flour mixture see below</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 1/2 c buckwheat flour ( I use fresh ground from hulless berries)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1/2 c almond flour </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1/4 c brown rice flour</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 tsp baking soda</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 tsp salt</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2/3 bag of chocolate chips (use however many you want)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 cup of chopped nuts (optional)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Heat oven to 375 degrees. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bake for 10-12 minutes, which will vary according to you oven, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
however, watch for some browning around the edge, then after</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
removing from oven, let sit for 2-3 minutes, then </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
transfer to a cooling rack.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These were soooo good.</div>
Buckwheat is my new favorite gluten free replacement option. It is sooo good for you and very affordable. I love the combo of almond flour, which is a bit pricey for our budget, so we will often use that in combination with buckwheat, which adds to taste and nutrition, but uses less at a time.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you enjoy our recipe creations!!</div>

<br />
I will admit, I did rush through this week a bit. I have trouble getting a chance to work on the quilting every single day, but I had fun practicing each one here. I did not do any that required my walking foot. I will save that for another day.<br />

Much of week 1 and then some was covered for week 1 with my nieces quilt. Pics coming soon of the entire quilt.<br />
I found some fun panels for only .88 at thrift store last week, and they are perfect for creating practice sandwiches. I love getting to go through the many new quilty patterns. Some styles I have literally never quilted before! This is a great experience for me.<br />
Here is what I have done so far this week.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #204764; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.15px;">I will be honest. I forgot, so when it came time to start quilting my nieces quilt that I am trying to finish in time for graduation, I simply dug in with curvy floral triangles and swirls for the white portion of my churn dash block quilt.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #204764; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.15px;"> I am starting sashing now, so I will be working on the week #1 Plumb line </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #204764; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.15px;">I have always and still do LOVE machine quilting. I hadn't actually done it in quite some time, so although I have some experience, I am starting over a bit, and hoping to get better and better each day.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I love to keep track of my reading, and the reading of my children, which for the littles, is pretty out of my control now, since they are so grown up and independent. I only have two of my four little precious gifts home with me and they are now a Sophmore and Junior!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Where does the time go??</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So, here is a picture of my sweet kitties for you to enjoy. We were so blessed by God to get these two little snickers of sweetness. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Our first cat, Houdini (changed from Skittles due to her amazing ability to get out of any type of contraption to keep her contained), is our tabby orphan kitty. She has brought us such joy after our big loss of our Brave boy. We fed her and since my allergies seemed to have become 'outgrown', we kept her. She however, is not a 'cuddly or lap cat', so soon we found ourselves able to get our kitty loving hands on a second cat, we were so thankful!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Introducing our little Misumi. It is Japanese, named by our daughter, meaning 'pure beauty'. She was from a litter of a friend, whose cat was a good mama, nursed her babies, she purrs easily and loves to cuddle!!<br />Above is another spot she loves to stretch out upon, in the evenings, as we are settling down. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We are in love!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now, stay tuned for more fiber n' fabric adventures as I share what I am doing.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I will update my list starting in 2017 just to start somewhere and not worry about back tracking too much, although I would love to get 2016 listed as well.</span></div>

I watched an entire family of titmice came to the feeder today. I am sure there were at least 2-3 babies. They were just playing away. After the feeder, they moved up to another tree and played around. I am so thankful for how the Lord blesses us with our bird population around here.</div>

I know it's been awhile, but it has been raining, raining, and raining some more. Ugh. No time for projects that are fun, just organizing the house...maybe a much needed family vacation. Hoping for some mundane, house stuff for a few weeks. There is years worth to do. Seriously.<br />
<br />
Here is my garden update. The weeds have taken over...again, but I am trying to keep it in check. I will revamp the garden next Spring, but for now, the zinnias are blooming and I am getting some zucchini, although I have to dress in a haz mat suit each time I step into said garden, due to the overwhelming amount of mosquitoes living there..I hope I don't get West Nile..<br />
Long pants and jacket seem to help.<br />

This is a striped roma. It sits there all perty, teasing me, but it won't ripen up. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally getting some broccoli. Trying to decide when to harvest this very small head.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is Janpanese Popcorn. We grew, harvested, and popped this for Damsel's bday party, many years ago. You can find that right here on this blog. I planted what was left, just for fun, and look! Some actually came up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
None of my kids get very excited about gardening though...sad face...maybe someday it will kick in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How is your garden? Please share.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Blessings to you and live life with Heaven in mind...</div>

I ordered a variety pack of basil. I thought that was fun, but was hoping for more than two varieties. It appears to be only two from what I can tell thus far. Either way, I have planted them and enjoyed them tremendously.<br />
Well, that is where we are in the garden as of a week or so ago. I am late posting this. I have now had two whole salads from the garden.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">Here is some lovely seedlings I purchased from Azure Standard last month. These are all in the ground now.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">I love getting these from AZ, because they come fresh, organic and beautiful. I have been very pleased. I can't imagine doing it any other way now.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">I am trying to garden without tilling, so I do have many weeds, but it could be worse. The soil is quite workable in most areas, but I do regret throwing a few piles of dirt from the memorial garden in there...WHAT WAS I THINKING?? SERIOUSLY!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">Can we say rocks??</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">I have my plank boards laid out and I planted seeds while it was still cold outside in April. I love seeing the sprouting results, which includes spinach...yes...I have horrible luck with that one. I have quite a few coming up!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">Spinach, radishes, beets, lettuce, sweet peas.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">I will update soon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">More seedlings coming.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">I also grow a ton of creeping charlie..yuck! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">I actually felt like I could get this yard/ garden into shape one day and dreamed about building a very clean, lovely chicken coop, for my 3 I am allowed to have here in Silvis.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span></div>
