i love to cook with panko japanese bread crumbs!
my favorite is to oven “fry” fish or chicken, to get that nice crisp fried taste, but without the deep frying.
today i am sharing a great recipe for panko crusted tilapia over on my zupas blog post.

do you use panko?
my next project i did for the lifestyle crafts design team using the items from the love release was this “love” banner. {inspired by this bethany lowe one}
i’ll be honest, i was skeptical about the whole die cutting machine since i am not a scrapbooker at all, but i have found a lot of ways to use it, like with this banner.
i used the nesting heart dies for the banner, card board from a cheerio box, vintage music sheets, modge podge, glitter, chip board letters, tinsel, a hot glue gun, and red glittery pipe cleaners.
i just used the modge podge glue to glue on the music sheet hearts to the cardboard ones i made with the die cuts. then glued on the rest.
this was a great little project, and a banner that i have been wanting to make for valentine’s day for a while.

ever since i did my last review of some products for the csn stores, i have really become a fan! and, have done a lot of online shopping on their site! csn has over 200 online stores and sell everything from swingsets, to cute wallpaper, or even le creuset pots and pans!
i’ll let you know what i end up getting! last time i got toys for my children, and a bigger car seat for ezra, so this time, it’s all about me baby!
