With yesterday being a holiday I got a bit busy and did not get to post my usual Make-It Monday. Since I am a day late, I thought I would share 2!
My first share is my new Scrabble game.
I have always loved word games (I think it has something to do with all of those years that I spent teaching reading, English, and writing.) Anyway, while going through Pinterest one day I saw a GREAT wall version of Scrabble. Unfortunately when I investigated a bit further, I found that it was WAY above my budget.
I did, however, find THIS magnetic version on Amazon. I really liked the fact that it had hooks to hang the player’s pieces from and included a message board on the side where we could keep score. I ordered it and waited patiently for its delivery.
When the game arrived I really liked everything about it except the fact that it did not really fit in with our “farmhouse” decor. A quick trip to Hobby Lobby fixed that! I purchased a wooden pallet sign on which I could mount the game board. I am SO happy with the end result!
The game hangs in the hallway just outside Hubby’s office. Each day we make our move and update our scores. Some days we can even fit in 2 moves each!
The second “Make It” was some stuffed chicken that I made tonight for supper. I found the recipe online at the “I Wash, You Dry” blog.
I changed one thing when I made it: I used a steam bag of broccoli florets from the freezer section rather than fresh broccoli.
It was SO YUMMY!!!!!!!! I actually had enough of the filling to stuff 4 chicken breasts. These things were huge, so Hubby and I split one for supper tonight. I split a second one and prepared two plates for us each to have tomorrow for lunch, and I have the other two tucked away to send to my daughter and son-in-law for supper tomorrow.
I definitely recommend this recipe! You will not regret it!
