It’s an all newborn stocking tonight!  These teeny tiny diapers are sewn & ready to ship, so if you’re expecting any time soon & haven’t rounded out your stash of newborn cloth diapers here’s your chance!

I get so many emails from moms with brand new bubs, begging for more newborn fitteds because they  love the fit on their itty bitty baby so much and need more.  These diapers fit tiny newborn babies perfectly, not too big, not too bulky, not too overwhelming.  And they fit long enough for you to get good use of them before tucking them away for your next baby, trading them, or selling them (often for nearly what you paid!).

Lots of sweet newborn fluff stocking tonight at 9pm eastern time!   www.orangediaperco.com  ♥

BEAN & CHEESE ROLL UPS

• 1 can vegetarian refried beans
• shredded cheddar cheese
• salsa
• soft taco size whole wheat or flour tortillas

Lay one tortilla flat on a microwave safe plate & spread with a layer of beans & then a layer of salsa.  Top with shredded cheese.  Microwave for 30 seconds – 1 minute, until cheese is melted.  It’s hot!  Let cool slightly, then roll it up & cut in half.

Eat & enjoy!

Other optional fillings:  sliced olives; scallions; whole beans such as black beans, pinto beans, kidney beans; rice; corn; cilantro; and/or sour cream (put it on after microwaving).

I hope to get some terry squares made & stocked as ready to ship somewhere near the end of the month, stay tuned to Facebook for more info on that.

As we continue to smooth out the kinks of  being back in our home studio, & with the end of the school year rapidly approaching, stocking times may shift a bit.

Need an instant fluff fix?  Check out our group page, we have an active & friendly buy/sell/trade community.

BUT I have all these one-size leftovers hanging around here, taking up space.  To get rid of them I’m packing them up as grab bags!  Join us on our buy/sell/trade Facebook page tonight at 9pm eastern time, I’ll do these lotto style & use random.org to pick the winning buyers.  This helps eliminate the risk of oversells & makes it a little fairer for those with a slower internet connection.

Here’s how it’ll work:

–I’ll post on the buy/sell/trade page something like this:

One-Size Boyish Grab Bag – $69 shipped within the US / $79 to Canada / $82 to Europe – 4 available

–If you’re interested, you leave a comment.  Any comment will do.  One comment per person please!

–I’ll leave the post open for 15 minutes, then close it & use random.org to pick 4 numbers

–Your comment is your number — if you leave the 7th comment, you’re number 7 — if number 7 is one of the numbers picked by random.org, you are a winning buyer!   Yippee!  You’ll email me your PayPal email address, I’ll email you an invoice, you pay, I ship, you get Oranges in your mailbox!

A couple of notes:

Please don’t comment if you’re not really interested in buying.  You might win & then you’ll have to tell me you don’t really want it, & that’s sort of embarrassing.

A Grab Bag = 2 one-size diapers, normally priced $35-$38 each + shipping.  Grab Bag prices include shipping.

These diapers are made & already packed up.  I’ll just be grabbing a package & sticking a mailing label on it.  That means I won’t know what you’re getting & you might get a duplicate of a print you already have (usually during grab bag fulfillment, I try my best to avoid doing that).

SPLIT PEA SOUP w/ a touch of curry

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 yellow onion, chopped
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 4 large carrots, diced
• 4 stalks celery, chopped
• 3 new potatoes, chopped into 1/2 pieces
• 1 box (32oz) vegetable broth
• 36 oz water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 2 teaspoons curry powder
• 1 pound dried split peas, throughly rinsed
• plain yogurt for serving (optional)

In a large stockpot, heat the oil over medium heat.  Add the onions & garlic and sauté for several minutes while you chop the carrots & celery.  Add the carrots & celery and sauté the mixture while you chop and then add the potatoes.

Add the veggie broth, water, salt, pepper, curry, and split peas and bring to a boil.  Reduce the heat & simmer, partially covered, for 45ish minutes until the peas are very soft.

Using an immersion blender, blend the soup.  Blend well for a more pureed texture, or just briefly for a chunkier texture.

Serve it hot, stirring in a spoonful of yogurt if desired.

Notes:

I like to use a few handfuls of crinkle cut or shredded carrots to save time.

Oh, and we have two amazing giveaways going on!  Go, right now, & enter!

Sugar High Giveaway

Dirty Diaper Laundry Giveaway

BEAN TACOS w/ guacamole

tacos…

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 red onion, diced
• 2 cans pinto beans, drained & rinsed
• 1 16oz bag frozen corn
• 1/4 cup chunky fresh salsa (+extra for serving)
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 12 taco shells (hard, soft , or both)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cups chopped lettuce

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Heat the oil over medium heat in a large skillet.  Add the onion & cook, stirring occasionally, until it starts to brown, about 5 minutes.  Add the beans, corn, salsa, and cilantro and stir the mixture.  Lower the heat & allow to cook for 10-15 minutes.

Heat the taco shells on a baking sheet in the oven for about 5 minutes.

Assemble at the table.

guacamole…

• 2 ripe avocados
• 1/4 red onion, diced
• handful of fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
• lime
• salt & pepper

Cut each avocado in half length-wise, pop out the pit, scoop out the avocado into a medium sized bowl.  Smash the avocado until the desired consistency is reached.  If you have a mortal & pestle, this is the perfect time to use it!  I like my guac chunky, keep smashing until it looks good to you.  Add the onion & cilantro and stir.  Squeeze half a lime into the mixture.  Don’t squeeze the lime dry, too much lime will make the guac taste bitter.  Squeeze & taste, squeeze & taste.  Add salt & pepper to taste.  Stir.

A few notes:

• Black beans can be used instead of pinto.  Or use one of each.  Really just about any bean will taste delicious.  Pinto is my fave in this recipe.
• I don’t usually use the whole bag of corn, more like 3/4 of a bag.  Use as much or as little as you like.  1 can of corn can be used instead of frozen.
• The cilantro is key.  Don’t skip it in the bean mixture or the guacamole.
• Sometimes we have a few packets of Taco Bell sauce hanging around & I’ll add those to the bean mixture.
• This is a very forgiving recipe, it can take lots of modifications & still taste fantastic.  Use up what’s in your pantry & enjoy!
