What's for dinner: Shrimp Gnocchi

I'm a lucky gal because Mr. PD likes to dabble in the kitchen. He loves to cook for me on special occasions such as birthday's and anniversaries. I don't recall the occasion when he first made this dish for me but it was sometime this year. It was Divine! The caramelized onions were my favorite part but it all went well together. You can find the recipe for this delicious dish here. Oh and in case you are wondering what gnocchi is they are potato dumplings and can be found at most grocery stores in the Italian section.

Cutest Swiffer on the Block

A while ago (at least a month or two ago) I ran across this ingenious tutorial on Sew Much Ado which resulted in this overly cute Swiffer duster:

I've made 2 and have plans to make more because yes, they are easy to make, yes they work, and yes, they're cute. Plus I don't feel bad since I don't have to throw away one of the store bought replacements every few days since I can throw these in the wash. One word of caution, don't wash these in the same load as anything microfiber. I found out the hard way that said microfiber item will attract every bit of loose thread.

Back again

I had a great time during our vacation to California and Nevada. My grand plans of posting from the airport and at night quickly went out the window as fun and fatigue took center stage. I'm glad it did because there is nothing more refreshing than being unplugged for a week and a half. I've got plenty to share but first I will publish all those posts I had saved as drafts before I left {see I had good intentions!}

I hope you are all having awesome summers!
