Boo!

Halloween approaches.... Get motivated!!! Here's a special apron made by San-dee!

She's got this apron just right. :)


Now I hope you plan on answering the door for trick-or-treater's wearing something like this!

Good Bye, Farewell! Happy Aproning!

Well Apron Goddesses, I can not tell a lie. I can not find the time to keep posting on The Apron Goddesses with my busy life schedule.

While I won't be posting any new material, I will leave the blog up for folks to find aprons made by all the fabulous hand made, sewn in the USA, women owned businesses who I want to support. If an apron maker wants to request an ad with a link, I'd be happy to post. Just send an email with your request. (I am amazed at how many visits The Apron Goddesses garnishes even with very limited posting...)

The biggest overall time constraint for me has been my need to market my newly published children's book called Bingo's Big Adventure and make time for writing the next book in the series. Reviews for Bingo's Big Adventure have been very positive and can be viewed HERE on Amazon.

I am running a book promotion at the Bingo's Big Adventure site too.

Books are discounted through purchase on Paypal. Hardback copies are $2 dollars off cover price at $13.99 and softbacks are $1 dollar off cover price at $7.99. Your purchase supports a women owned business right here in the US. Buy a book for your kids, grand kids or as gifts for the holidays! I will personally sign any books ordered and customize as requested.

Since I find my self trying to balance on that narrow fence that life has provided me.... I thought Bingo's balancing act was an appropriate allusion to my current place in life.

Part of balancing is knowing just when to jump off without hurting one's self....

So that's the end of my tail...

I've Been Busy!

Sweet Pepper Salsa

7 c. chopped tomatoes (about 5 lbs)
3 c. chopped peppers (1 red, 1 yellow, 1 green)
1/2 c. chopped onion
2 cloves garlic
2 tbs. cilantro
1/2 c. vinegar (5% acidity)
2 drops hot pepper sauce

Combine all ingredients in a saucepot. Stir and bring to a boil; then reduce heat and simmer for 10 min. Prepare canning jars as usual. Then ladle salsa into hot jars. Process in a boiling water canner for 15 min. (covering the tops of jars with approximately 1" of water. Yields 3 pints. I double the recipe to can more at a time.

So far I have canned about 7 pints and 10 1/2 pints. It is not at all hot, so if you want hot you will need to add some sort of hot pepper either before or after the processing. Enjoy!

You Too Can Look This Good In An Apron: Apron Goddess Mira

Well especially if you are the winner of the Cupcake Provocateur apron... see post below this one. :)

This is Mira! She sent in this picture for extra credit in the Cupcake Provocateur giveaway. I am sorry she did not win but we can agree she looks awesome wearing her apron.


Mira wrote, "Here's a pic of me in my "cupcake cutie" apron. Huge fan of Cupcake Provocateur - getting to wear that apron is pretty much the only reason I cook at all!"

There are definitely days that I commiserate with her on this sentiment. Mostly I just don't cook on those days.

The Winner of the Cupcake Provocateur Apron

Good Monday Apron Goddesses!

It's been quite a month and busyness is a disease which I can't seem to cure.

However, good news is that I did the drawing for the apron from Cynthia's Cupcake Provocateur store and,

Drum roll please.......

Ta da!!

Number 6 is Sue at Country Pleasures!

Congrats Sue! Just send me an email with your shipping information and apron preference from the hostess style and we'll get it off to CP in a jiffy!

Quite a Set UP

Good Thursday Morning Apron Goddesses!
I feel as if I have been MIA.....I guess I have, it's been about 2 weeks since I have graced you all with a picture and some words to follow.

Suzi here to bring you some men in aprons.

I think they have the right idea. It is quite the set-up. A small toaster oven with what appears to be pots on top for cooking. If only kitchen/dining areas were this simple. These men look thrilled to be preparing a meal for someone special. I even love the fact that they are taking great care by putting on their aprons in order to keep their attire nice and clean.

Boys, you can come cook for me anytime!

Winner of the Hostess with the Mostest Apron

Good day Apron Goddesses everywhere in Bloggville!

Some how during my bout with viral meningitis and walking pneumonia last month I forgot to do the drawing for the apron giveaway for the Hostess with the Mostest apron pictured below.

How could I forget this beauty? It must have been the feverish haze that was consuming my brain but oh goodness looking at this apron again makes me a little envious of the winner.


The random number generator produced No. 42 which makes Sally the winner of this apron. She blogs at Sally's Spot.

Congrats to Sally! Please email me with your address and I will forward to the Hostess with the Mostest!
