BASIL PESTO - inspiration

How to Make Fresh Pesto? It is not so difficult, when I made Pesto for the first time, it was delicious. Actually, every time I make different pesto, sometimes I add garlic, and sometimes sunflower seeds instead of pine nuts. This time, my pesto was created with walnuts and basil from my garden on the window. I do not know how it will have to traditional pesto, but I know one thing is delicious.

0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
0.5 teaspoon ground cloves

0.5 cup canned corn

0.5 cup canned carrots

black pepper, parsley and sea salt to taste

Quick, tasty and left time for pleasant reading - very inspiring.

Guest Post: Making Creating Sharing a Recipe & Diy

Thank you Joanna for having me on your blog to guest post here at Be Creative Mommy. Hello, Theresa here from DearCreatives.com I am excited to share some sewing for baby, a few projects and a recipe I've been worked on. Then I'll leave you with a diy project. I hope everyone enjoys this post today! First up a little sewing for baby; 





My latest sewing project were these little baby booties. They are called Moon booties. The project was an easy to sew one from a book called Sweet Booties. I will be sharing a step by step tutorial on how to make them from the pattern in the book on my blog soon. This will include tips on different use of fabrics for the pattern to sewing tips.




From the same baby book I made these lovely burping towels. They are the easiest project to do. All straight stitching, leave one side open, trim up corners and turn inside out. You can find this on the blog right now. 

 

My favorite recipe I have made recently was this Slow baked Salmon recipe. It is easily prepared and would make a wonderful Valentines Dinner if you stay home with your family or just for two! Lastly I am leaving you with this easy Diy for your place settings! A project you can make yourself!

 

Supplies you will need for this diy:

• burlap (woven or any type will do) Cut to: Total Size: 6 inches wide x 13 3/4" for each one
• thread (wheat or light color)
• scissors
• cardboard or poster board to make template (optional)
• ruler
• straight pins
• lace (size about 1-1/2")

#1. First thing is either make out a template or just measure & cut one using it as a template for the rest. The measurements I used leave enough room to add a napkin into them. Total Size: 6 inches wide x 13 3/4" for each one you want to make. I made 8 so I cut this size 8 times. #2. Next cut your lace pieces about 6 1/2" for each one. (OR) You can put lace into place folding lace across then tuck under edge pin & cut to size.To find placement just fold up your burlap fabric about 4-3/4" (but, do not sew it yet) I placed mine exactly one inch from where bottom was going to be & a little over 1-1/2 inch from where #2 is in the photograph & opening of utensil holder pocket is. As you see you fold up your 6 x 12- 3/4 " fabric 4-1/2" to create the pocket. All sewing prior to third step is done without folding for the pocket as shown in image below. (envision your total size burlap flat unfolded to do first steps, hope that makes sense)




#3. Once you do steps one & two you fold up burlap & pin at each side in place start at one corner & go the entire way around. It isn't necessary to sew across the bottom, sew along one side, across top & down the other side like it's a u shape. I did this so the burlap edges wouldn't unravel & to make the fold of pocket. 





When your sewing the lace onto burlap you sew across the side edges (on each side) where you will sew around a final time. If you have questions just ask & I'll try to answer them. 




Enjoy making them!
