I use a galvanized tub for my big tree every year......if you want to do this keep a look out at farm auctions this summer!!!!!! 

or what about this idea........

this summer you can put up your produce in vintage jars and have them ready for CHRISTmas gifts. Tie a ribbon around the top and hang a sweet tag......Cuuutteee!

I am going to be having a breakfast this week out in the Potter's Shed......today I am trying out one of the new recipes from The CHRISTmas Table (buy HERE if you would like). I had the chicken, fresh asparagus (from a sweet friend), EGGS from my "Girlies" and cheese on hand! So I couldn't wait to make this recipe.........

Chicken & Asparagus Quiche

from the kitchen of Melissa Knight

2 9-inch pie crusts

2 T. butter

2 T. olive oil

1 T. garlic, minced

1 onion, chopped

1 bunch asparagus trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced

3 eggs, beaten

1 c. half and half

1 t. dry mustard

salt and pepper to taste

2 c. shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided

Place pie crusts in two 9" pie plates; bake at 450 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly golden. Meanwhile in a large skillet, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat. Saute garlic, onion and asparagus for 5 to 7 minutes, until asparagus is crisp-tender. With a slotted spoon remove vegetables from skillet, leaving as much of the butter mixture as possible. Add chicken to skillet; saute for 7 to 8 minutes, until fully cooked. Remove skillet from heat. In a bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients except cheese. Sprinkle 1/2 cup cheese in each pie crust. Layer half the chicken in each crust, followed by half the veggies and half the egg mixture. Top with remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes. Makes 2 quiches; each serves 4 to 6.

MADE IT........DELICIOUS! So so good! We ate the whole quiche for lunch.......there was 4 of us! 

Now..... you know how I always make a little something to go with the Cookbook? Well I have used a piece from a fabric line I designed some years back and made a little tea towel......but do you notice there is not a stitchery on the bottom of the towel? I need some ideas....from YOU....so that is the comment I want you to leave for vote #1!  If you could design it what would you put there. Words.......picture(describe to me what you would want).......whatever!!!!

Can't wait to see what you all say! I will pick one in this next week and have it designed and on the towel when we do the drawing!

This is going to be so fun......for me!

The party will start today and end 

MAY 22 at noon
