Herb-Crusted Rack of Lamb

I'm kind of on a lamb kick these days. It took me awhile to learn to like lamb, but now it's one of my favorite things.

So, naturally when I (and about 20 other gals) was asked to design a custom baby onesie for Brian's cousin's baby shower, my mysterious mind went straight to lamb -- specifically herb-crusted rack of lamb (so obvious, right? I know.).

I have a tried and true, finger-licking good recipe that I love dearly. I printed it on an iron-on transfer, added some ribbon,  sequins, and voila! My fictional baby clothes line "Baby Food" was born. My mother-in-law thinks I could make a great living selling these recipe onesies in 5-packs (an appetizer, entree, two sides, and dessert). Not a bad idea!

The front.

The back.

  1. OMG, not going to lie, that is an amazing idea! The name is great, the concept is kind of cool, but I would also include a printed recipe card so that you don't have a onesie on the counter while you are cooking!

  2. Great idea, Leslie! I was thinking the baby would be on the counter wearing the recipe onesie (kidding!), but a recipe card would be way more convenient...and sanitary! Haha!
