the Organized life, the January Paint Bucket
The “Paint Bucket” is my bucket list of recipes that I want to try. I compile this list near the 1st of every month, browsing my Pinterest boards, looking at virtual recipe boxes I have on allrecipes.com, the Food network, and Ziplist. I also keep a master file of categorized recipes on my computer, that I have gotten from blogs, magazines, etc. I spend some time thinking about what’s on the upcoming monthly calendar and then I put together a bucket list of recipes to try or to go to for inspiration. It’s NOT a to do list, just an IDEA INSPIRATION page.
Here’s what I made in December off the December Paint Bucket,
Seasonal Sipper, the ALABAMA FROSTY
Seasonal Sipper, the NORTH POLE
WHITE PIZZA DIP with roasted tomatoes, posting soon
Upside Down Potatoes, turned into MAGIC POTATOES
Ham & Cheese Slab Pies turned into ITALIAN PUFF PASTRY BITES
SLOW COOKER MONGOLIAN BEEF, posting soon!
Cheesy Corn Chowder, turned into MERRY MERRY CHOWDER
Raspberry & White Chocolate Mini Cupcakes turned into RASPBERRY WHITE CHOCOLATE ANGEL WINGS
Gingerbread Cheesecake Bites, A BIG FLOP! I found this on Pinterest, followed directions but the filling was overcooked, the crust undercooked and it was a mess!
I don’t think I can pick a favorite this month, I LOVED them all! If forced to choose, it would have to be MERRY MERRY CHOWDER
THE JANUARY PAINT BUCKET, a fresh start for 2013! No rollovers, no recipes that have been getting stale, all new inspirations for the New Year!
