Crochet headbands

Crocheted flower headbands

I have been thinking about what quick fun projects I could do with crochet because blankets take such a long time to finish. I saw some cute headbands and thought I would give it a try. So here is my first attempt at making one. Also thinking about all my nieces or any friends with little girls that might want some I could make some up and ship them out to ya! I am still adding to the headband and plan on making more tomorrow so I will update my blog when I get them done.

Sorry not the best pictures and I can't figure out how to rotate my pictures yet (new computer) and I am impatient.

Spinach Salad

I recently rediscovered this super delicious salad that my mom makes. I made it over Easter weekend up in Utah while visiting the Tucker family and totally loved it! Some people were wanting the recipe so here it is...

2 bunches of spinach washed and stems removed
1 head of red leaf lettuce ripped into bite size pieces
3/4 lb. grated swiss cheese (I substitute mozzarella)
1 lb. bacon fried and crumbled
1 1/2 table spoon poppy seeds
3/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup white sugar
1 1/2 table spoon white onion minced
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon wet or dry yellow mustard
1 red onion sliced into rings
1 lb. fresh mushrooms (the whiter the better)

To make the dressing:

Combine: sliced mushrooms, minced white onion, sliced red onion rings combine with poppy seeds, red wine vinegar, veg. oil, sugar, salt and mustard. Mix in Ziploc bag and let marinate in for at least 4 hours.

When ready to serve:

Combine spinach, red leaf lettuce pieces, fried and crumbled bacon and cheese with the wet dressing ingredients. Toss and serve.

Serves 15
