Swag!

My husband and his aunt are saints.

First off, hubby got me a Kitchenaid stand mixer. LOVE LOVE LOVE. I haven't used it yet but I think the first thing I'll make in it will be butter tart dough. A neat little way of thanking him ;)

I think I really want the pasta attachment. My breadmaker makes pasta dough and I've always wanted to make my own pasta.


As I mentioned, hubby's aunt Lucy is awesome.  She gave me a mandoline. I've always wanted a mandoline.  Here is the mandoline she bought me. 

I used it on Giftmas day to make salads for my family. Works like a charm.  Here are a couple pictures.

First salad is a spring greens salad with cherry tomatoes, rainbow peppers, cucumbers, and red onion.

Second salad is baby spinach with strawberry, craisins, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and cashews.   I forgot the feta at home. BAD JUPE. But still, tasted good.  I now have a sweet block of feta in my fridge to enjoy in my salads so it's not all for naught.
