Last week’s goals were a breeze! I didn’t have a chance to get my Red Velvet perfected but I must say it was a wonderful week wishing hubby bye for another departure. Being a military wife can, at times, be so romantic! Distance makes the heart grow fonder.

Onto goals. I had an easy list this past week. I am going to rev it up this week.

1. QUILT!  The challenge of continuing to work on my first quilt is huge. I take it out whenever the mood strikes so I am dedicating 30 minutes a day to sewing to teach myself greater discipline!

2. Red velvet cake.

3. Hand print art. Pictures to follow soon!

(there catching up to take priority)

4.  Purchase new crock pot  I adore this invention! I made crockpot BBQ chicken in it for shredded BBQ sandwiches that were a huge hit. The hubs devoured three!

Crock pot BBQ Chicken recipe:

chicken pieces, I used 3 boneless, skinless breasts

bottle of any flavor BBQ sauce

10 oz coke

Place ingredients in pot on low setting until chicken is cooked through. I did 6 hours. Then shred chicken in pot with forks. Continue to cook about 45 minutes. Serve on buns. This would be delicious on potato bread but I used Hawaiian buns and it was wonderful.

I think I might add pineapple and Hawaiian BBQ sauce next time to make a Hawaiian BBQ.  Mmmmm…

5. finish purging the house for new baby  We made it really far in this realm. Still much to do!

6. go on a date with hubby! We had a wonderful Japanese dinner outing. New baby loves Mochi!
