Originals by Lauren Giveaway

Hi Apronistas! I have a super fun giveaway for you this week! Lauren makes the most adorable aprons, and the best part is that she makes aprons for “curvy girls” – here is the description of her “plus size” aprons:

I designed this style, and it is the most popular. I saw alot of aprons out there, but not alot of cute plus size aprons. Alot of really good cooks enjoy eating, and might not be a size 6. The cutest aprons were for smaller women. This style fits a larger misses size through plus sizes. I also custom make them to you measurements. They have extra long ties at the waist and long adjustable ties at the neck, to accomadate taller or shorter women.

I have been sewing as a business for over 20 years. I have done different things, but always in the sewwing field. I now do it fulltime. I do dressmaking and alterations out of my home, and alter gowns for a bridal shop ( in my home).

Lauren also makes cute bags, bibs, and quilts! She is one talented lady!

So this week’s giveaway is for the winner’s choice of apron (yay!). To enter, just go to Lauren’s Etsy shop, and choose your favorite Apron, and comment back here. If your comment is chosen by the lucky random number generator, you win your choice! You can also get an extra entry by blogging about this giveaway on your own site and linking back here!

Since we got a late start, this giveaway will run until Sunday night at 9pm Pacific, and the winner will be chosen Monday. Good luck!

Top Secret!

I am about to share with you one of my most coveted and asked for recipes. But ONLY if you PINKY SWEAR not to tell anyone, ok? (looks around)

Ok, here it is. This is my Top Secret Turkey Marinade:

1 stick of butter, melted (1/2 cup)
1/4 C Orange Marmalade
1/4 C Soy Sauce
1/4 C Dijon Mustard

Whisk well, and pour over turkey. Bake as usual.

That’s it! It’s So simple, but SOO yummy. No one flavor predominates, so you get just plain YUMMY.

THe best part is it makes the MOST amazing gravy. After you remove the turkey, drain off the drippings (a little of the fat is ok, but not too much) transfer to a saucepan, and whisk a bit of flour in over medium heat. Keep it moving, and allow to thicken. Ta-Da!

But just don’t tell anyone – it’s our secret, ok? ;-)

Edited to add – It’s great on Chicken or Pork too!!
