I just finished reupholstering some old dining room chairs. It was time consuming but easy and came out great! It really brightened up the whole room! Wish I could upload a pic but I don't have a website.

Thanks for a fun post! I enjoyed getting inspired by all of these great DIY ideas...

Joe2 in Baltimore has a greek salad with tons of roasted mushrooms, roasted red peppers, red onions, olives and feta cheese that is amazing! I recreated it at home and added smoked tofu and avocado, which was even more amazing! mmm craving hat salad now!

I was just offered a wooden drafting table and am trying to figure out if I could use it as a kitchen table. I'm not really familiar with drafting tables so I'm doing a little research and will be going to look at it in the next month. I'm wondering if it is sturdy enough to serve as a table.

We have a year-round farmer's market and a co-op nearby. However, they both have some produce that is not local. I try to stick to what I know is local and seasonal but I do indulge in some lovely citrus fruit. While I miss the variety of summer vegetables I find myself leaning towards dark greens, squash, and roots during the winter. This warm winter weather is really throwing me off!

Good ideas all around! I feed the man in my house lots of full fat greek yogurt, a glass of milk with dinner, eggs, hummus, and nuts! They are good ideas for snacks between meals too.

My grandmother's recipe for butter cookies using our vintage cookie press decorated with colored sugar, sprinkles, candies, and chocolate.

We always make butter cookies, 7 layer bars, raspberry crumb bars, and pumpkin cranberry bread!

French onion soup and kale chips for dinner tonight. Have to start making pie dough and do my pre-Thanksgiving shopping!

I just did this last night, I just added more water and added a little more of the other seasonings it was fine. Made more soup :)
