What's for Dinner Wednesday Guest Post

As K1 gets older, she has been learning to do more in the kitchen and with crafting. Today she's sharing with you her dinner creation.

Hi, guys! This is Kassidy, the oldest daughter. I’m here to bring you a tasty dinner that I made while in Georgia. My grandma had some fish lying around and told me find a recipe and cook dinner. And so I did.

My entire family is big fans of fish and I enjoy cooking it. It’s quite nice because 1) my sister will (usually) enjoy it and 2) it is like chicken: everything tastes good on it.

So, tonight’s dinner is: Baked Whiting! I found the recipe on Meals Matter.

Total Preparation Time: Less than 15 minutes

Ingredients: Fish

Actual Cooking Time: 15 to 30 minutes

Number of Servings: 4

Meal Type: Entrée

Ingredients:

4 Whiting, cleaned and trimmed

1/2 stick (2 oz) 50 g butter

Salt and pepper

1/2 cup (75 g) dry white breadcrumbs

Lemon twists

Preparation:

1. Use a little of the butter to grease an ovenproof baking dish. Melt the remaining butter in a small saucepan. Set the oven at 190°C/375°F/gas 5.

2. Brush the whiting all over with melted butter, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle liberally with breadcrumbs. Place in the prepared dish and bake for 20 minutes. Garnish with lemon twists and serve.

I also added a bit of parsley to it and instead of breadcrumbs, I used Ritz crackers.

In the end, I believe it was a success. It had a nice, buttery taste. It leaves room for any herbs or spices you want to add to it, if you so desire.

I hope you enjoy it if you try it out!

Easy Baby Sweater and Hat

After searching and attempting to create the perfect - and quick/easy - baby sweater to give as a gift, I finally just combined a few to make the one I wanted. This particular one is more what I would envision for a girl (regardless of color) because of the lacy pattern created with the shells. My next step to find/create one for a boy. This one is simple enough to work up quickly. I only have a few hours of crochet time at night and I completed the set within 3 days. I imagine if you had half a day you could easily finish it in one setting, depending on your skill level. Sweater Materials: 3-4 ounces 3 ply baby yarn Hook - size F for newborn size G for 3 to 6 months size H (and 4 ply soft yarn) for 6 to 9 months 2-3 button for closure Pattern: (Shell = 2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) Starting at neckline, loosely ch 38. Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook & in each ch to end. (37 stitches) Row 2: ch 2, turn (counts as 1st dc throughout) 1 dc in each of t

Crocheted Adventure Time Fiona Hat

Well, my cosplaying kid asked for another crocheted creation, but I don't watch Adventure Time. I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into, but this was easy enough and I get to share a free pattern with you. It straps around the chin with a crocheted button and I had the yarn stashed away. I love projects that use up leftover yarn, don't you? I started out with Lilana Wofsey Dohnert's Finn hat pattern on Ravelry. She's brilliant. Then I made adjustments to make it Fiona and fit a bit more snugly.

Organize It - Shoe Rack Grips

Do we really need all these shoes? You can only wear one pair at a time. I guess it's a necessary evil. Shoes aren't my thing. I have more flip-flops and athletic shoes than anything else. I'm happy with that. My favorite shoes are actually my slippers. I could wear them all day and would wear them out if I thought I could get away with it. My hubby, on the other hand, can't have enough shoes. Our youngest K takes after him. We have a fairly large rack for our shoes in the closet to accommodate all those shoes. It's nothing fancy and fulfills my two requirements. It's functional and doesn't take up a lot of space. But there is one huge flaw. Our shoes don't stay put! It ok for shoes that have heels on them because they hang on the back bar. Shoes like this: But if they are flat, like tennis shoes or flip flops (like most my shoes) then they slip right off and I trip over them trying to get to my clothes. What's a girl to do? I
