How-To: Knit a Rag Rug

Crazy Mom Quilts is known for her great tutorials, like this crocheted rug made from old T-shirts a few years back. Her latest tutorial shows us how to knit a rag rug using fabric scraps. I'm guessing more than a few of you have a pretty hefty scrap stash at home that would be perfect for something like this!

How To: Make a Decadent Meringue

As the last warm days of summer draw to a close and our palettes shift from light and airy to warm and spiced I have the most difficult time trying to plan what I'm going to make for dinners and desserts. Summer is full of fruit pies and meringues in my family but personally I prefer a heavier, more chocolate filled dessert. But I think I may have just found the perfect dessert for our family gatherings, a meringue cookie from Tickled Red called creole kisses with cocoa-coffee glaze. The decadent flavor of roasted pecans in a light and airy texture of the meringue, just top that off with a little cocoa-coffee glaze and call it a good day.
