Tasty Tuesday- Paleo Pastelon

 Inspiration came from this post/recipe on The Paleo Mom, added to the fact that my husband is Puerto Rican, born & raised on the Island, this is a dish he grew up with.
Well not a clean paleo version......
I did modify the recipe
My modifications were~
used only 1lb beef, 6 eggs, 8x8 pan.
no wine, I subbed olive oil for coconut oil
added chopped green olives, oregano, turmeric, paprika.
I layered plantain,beef,plantain,beef,plantain.
I did not precook my bottom layer of eggs.
I only had to bake for 30mins, if I would have gone longer it would have been burnt.
We served with fresh chimichurro sauce on top and side was garlic green beans.

We ate half and got 4 squares from the other half for lunches this week.
It was delicious!

adding to this blog.....

I've realized I don't write or keep up my personal blog as much as I'd like to.
When I do post it's a recipe, so I'll be adding Tasty Tuesday (when I post for it) to here. I hope this doesn't detour any followers.

Happy New Year! and Jan. Goal

Happy New Year to you & yours!
Here's to a prosperous, joyful & full of love 2014.

A goal of ours here at home for 2014 is less eating out, its only allowed on a Birhday, Holiday, Anniversary if we (or birthday person) so chooses.

One goal of mine here at Noguchi Designs is to link up monthly to A Lovely Year of Finishes with a goal & finish.
Second goal is an item a week. Its not set in stone as life seems to always through me curve balls but a goal is something in the right direction, an item can be a toy, dress, bag, swap piece etc.

Now for my January Goal-

Get the top done on my Penny Patch from last years QAL at Stitched in Color.

Whipped cream would be to sandwich it and the cherry on top would be to start quilting it.

Dec Goal-Finished!

I'm DONE! I finished! I set out a goal and actually got it done! All 3 dresses are complete :)

3x6 blocks

Just received my final block from this quarter of 3x6 on Flickr.
I choose blue (sky/baby) green (grass) yellow (sun/bee) on black
the top is my tester block and the 6 below are the ones I received.

 My vision is a baby boy quilt, I want it to speak of the sky, grass, and bumblebee.
I may just sew the 6 up together as a mini and use mine as the back..... or sew up two more blocks and make it almost crib sized.....


These are the blocks I sent out in my hive mates colors.

Dec Goal

December!?! Already!?!
Time sure did fly by this year, as I get older I notice the days weeks months go by much quicker.
I didn't set a goal each month and on some that I did I didn't finish. Life!
Well today I am setting a goal for the final Link Up at ALYOF.
With these lovely fabric sets I am going to make a few Kyoko Dresses.
