Day 308: Dirt Party

Mom and Dad bought 140-some bags of dirt to put in flower beds (etc) around the yard, so Ash and I went over to help. We unloaded 56 bags today and will do more another weekend.

Day 307: Harvey's

The perfect meal at Harvey's: crab cakes and ultimate mac and cheese. Yes, that is bacon on top.

Day 306: Backyard Flowers

Day 305: Friends

Day 304: Monsters!!

I had a message on Etsy from a lady asking if she could order 8 felt monsters from me. I told her yes and am waiting for her reply. In the mean time, I thought I should get a head start on them.

Day 303: Fried Raviolis for Dinner

Sooooo delicious!!

Toasted Ravioli with Marinara Sauce

2 tablespoons whole milk

1 egg

3/4 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
salt & pepper to taste

1/2 (25 ounce) package frozen cheese ravioli, thawed

2 cups vegetable oil for frying

Marinara sauce for dipping

 

Combine milk and egg in a small bowl. Combine breadcrumbs and seasonings in a shallow bowl. Dip ravioli in milk mixture, and coat with breadcrumbs.

In a large saucepan, heat marinara sauce over medium heat until bubbling. Reduce the heat to simmer.

In a large heavy pan, pour oil to depth of 2 inches. Heat oil over medium heat until a small amount of breading sizzles and turns brown. Fry ravioli, a few at a time, 1 minute on each side or until golden. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with hot marinara sauce. 

 

Day 302: Easter

Ashley, Carrie, Mom, and I colored eggs for Easter. We used a method I found on Pinterest, but ours didn't turn out as cool. Still, we had fun and that's really the important thing, right?
