My Inner Martha Stewart

I have definitely picked up a few homemaker-type hobbies over the last couple of years. I dont know if it a result of becoming a Mom or of living in Montana with not much to do. Either way, sewing and cooking are two things I love doing! Poor Sal has to put up with being my guinea pig as far as cooking goes. I love to get new recipes off the internet or from magazines and try them. He has had to try a variety of new foods. Some are a success (miso salmon or butternut squash pasta were both really yummy). Some not so much (there was once a sweet potato gnocchi disaster).
This last week I had to cook for some guests, and wanted to try a new dessert, so I went on the internet and came up with this recipe for Lemon Meringue Cakes. They are so easy to make! I mean, if you can make a box mix cake, you can make these. Plus they taste great.
My other new hobby is sewing. I just finished making my second quilt. I took a baby quilt class when I was pregnant with Beckam. When the class started, I hadn't found out what I was having, so I didn't know if I should make a baby girl or boy quilt. So I made a baby girl quilt (mainly because there are very cute girl fabrics out there). Well once I found out I was having a boy, I still wanted to make a baby quilt for him.

 I started it in December. I JUST finished. Did I mention how little free time you have with a newborn?
