What’s a comfort food that’s quick and easy to put together, filled with melted, cheesy goodness, and slides onto your plate in more variations that you ever imagined? Grilled cheese sandwiches! (Classic grilled cheese photo courtesy of Food Network.) There’s nothing like the nostalgic classic grilled cheese, made with white sandwich bread and American cheese….

Quilting Fuel: Rabbit Season
I first made these salads when my kids were small. They’re all grown up, but as far as they’re concerned, it’s not Easter if these bunnies don’t make an appearance. And our favorite thing? They’re quick and easy to put together! The photo and the recipe come to us from our tried-and-true stand-by, Betty Crocker!…
Quilting Fuel: Tuscan-Style Roasted Asparagus
Spring winds have arrived in New Mexico, and when we’re not being blown away, we’re enjoying the sunshine and warmer temperatures. Fresh spring vegetables are making their way to the grocery store: asparagus, peas, fava beans, and greens of all kinds. If you’d like a list of what’s in season you can peek at lists…
Quilting Fuel: I Say Chowder, You Say Chowdah.
Are you still recovering from all the holiday eating and sewing? All the lovely, calorie-laden dishes and special treats are gone, or waiting to be thrown out when you’re tired of looking at them. It’s the beginning of a new year, and our thoughts turn to healthy living. But winter’s still here, with its grey…
Quilting Fuel: Give it a Swirl!
We’ve just finished Thanksgiving, but the season of baked goodies is not over yet. While we were looking at recipes on the web, we came across this pie crust with a real “Wow!” factor. And even better? You make it using a refrigerated pie crust from the grocery store! It seems like a shame to…
Quilting Fuel: Easy Thanksgiving Appetizers
We’ve checked our calendars twice, and Thanksgiving really is next week. We don’t know how that happened! If you’re really on top of your meal planning, you’ve got the main dishes and sides sorted out. (And if you haven’t even bought a turkey yet, we feel your pain.) We thought we’d give you some links to…
Quilting Fuel: Easy as Pot Pie
We know that you’re sitting there with a frown on your face, wondering how a pot pie can be easy, and leave you any time for sewing? Okay, it may not as simple as buying a frozen one and throwing it into the oven, but it’s not as hard as spending all day making one…
Quilting Fuel: It’s Roasting in Here
We’re still falling for fall here at Your Needle & Me. Blame it on the pumpkin spice, or Halloween, or the holidays which are coming faster and faster. (We saw Christmas displays going up in stores before the end of September!) Fall is harvest time, and the turning of the seasons, and falling leaves, and…
Quilting Fuel: Upside Down
The weather here in Southern NM has been rainy and cloudy for a change, and it’s starting to feel like fall. Fall makes us think of lots of things, like turning leaves, cooler weather, and how many foods and drinks can they make in pumpkin spice flavor? But it also makes us think of birthdays-several Bernina…
