It occurs to me that weekend reading should be on Saturdays so you’ll get a chance to actually read it during the weekend. It also occurs to me that I must have been hungry this week since most of these are food related. :)

Food/Kitchen

Guide to Wrapping and Pan Frying Dumplings by Appetite for China – These look so good I can almost taste them. These would be fabulous at a cocktail party as they’re pretty hearty yet small and easily eaten.

Chocolate Dipped Tuxedo/Wedding Dress Strawberries by My Sweet and Saucy – So cute and great for a bridal shower or wedding favors.

Super Mario Mushroom Cookies by Snack or Die – As a geek, I feel obligated to make these at least once.

Sleepin’ In Omelette by Pioneer Woman Cooks – Everything that the Pioneer Woman cooks looks amazing, but I’m a sucker for breakfast casseroles. This would be great for a brunch.

Strawberry Freezer Jam by Make and Takes – I love homemade jam, but I’m afraid of all the equipment necessary to make it. Freezer jam is pretty easy and tasty. Look around farmer’s markets for good deals on strawberries.

Green Vegetarian Diet and Lifestyle. – While I may not necessarily agree with all their ideas, this is a great site for healthy vegetarian recipes for people looking to cut down the amount of meat in their diet (and budget.)

No Bake Strawberry Cream Pie by Domino – Easy, quick and elegant. This makes me want to host a tea party. :)

15 Tips for Leftovers by TipNut – Some fairly uncommon tips for dealing with leftovers. The frozen grapes are especially nice on a hot day and healthier than a big bowl of ice cream.

Crafting/Sewing

Recess Zipper, How To by My Spare Time – I LOVE making tote bags and purses (and it’s a hell of a lot cheaper than buying them.) Here’s a great tutorial on how to put in a recessed zipper.

College Care Package From Extra Samples by Handprints on the Wall – I usually skip these posts because I don’t like the whole working over CVS/Walgreens thing, but this is a really good idea. You could also throw in make-up samples you would never use, a paperback you’re done reading or some tips on how you survived college.

50 Freeware Money Management Tools by Smart Credit Shopper – I’m not a fan of the rest of the site, but this is a very useful list if you don’t want to spend money on budgeting tools.
