100th POST!!! and a Giveaway
I can't beleive I'm already at 100 posts in this blog adventure. I actually had another post I was going to do today about the quilting bee that I'm in, but then I realized it was going to be #100 - so I'll do that post tomorrow.
Having this blog has been so much fun for me. I've met so many awesome and talented people along the way. I feel like I could just sit down and enjoy lunch with each of you.
In case you weren't with me for the first 50 posts.. you missed that one. It was a list of 50 things about me.
Anyway.. I'll stop babbling and get to the giveaway. I wasn't sure what I would giveaway - since I just realized this last night. After consulting with my sewing buddy (cousin/best friend) this is what I came up with - there will be TWO WINNERS!!!
Prize #1

Recipe and a Giveaway Winner
But in the mean time, I will share a recipe.. and the winner of our Sew-In Giveaway.
First, the recipe. This is something that we make on a regular basis.. and they are sooooooo good.
Hopefully you have a Trader Joe's by you.. cuz if you don't.. I'm so sorry!
Honestly, I don't measure.. I just dump it all into the bag.
4 Chicken Breast (Cut into large chunks)
5 Garlic Cloves.. chopped
1 bunch of Cilantro (washed and chopped)
Salt / Pepper to taste
1/4 cup Olive Oil
1/2 cup Lemon Juice
1/4 cup Rice Vinegar
Place all ingredients in a large ziploc bag and marinate for at least 2 hours.
Put all chicken on skewers and grill.
Another variation would be to leave chicken breasts whole and grill. Then serve with your favorite side dish. Trust me.. it's GOOD!!
Now.. for the Giveaway Winner!!! Drum Roll please.... Bev C. Congratulations Bev.
Please send your address to my email - [email protected] and I will get your package in the mail!
Thanks to everyone who joined us on Friday night! I know a lot of us got quite a bit done.. and that's what Friday Night Sew-In's are all about.

Dear Santa
I've sewn so many pretty things for myself and others. I've kept my family fed.. ok, I know it hasn't always been something healthy - but sometimes that sewing machine just won't let me go and quick meals are needed.
I've kept my house clean.. yeah, ok.. this is a lie. But come on Big Guy.. I've got two boys, a husband, a dog and a cat. There is only so much I can do and still get time to sew.
