The Organized Life, the July Paint Bucket

Posted by the Painted Apron on July 1, 2013 · 6 Comments 

My bucket list is a list of recipes I compile every month to use for inspiration and easy menu planning.  I collect them from my Pinterest boards, books  and magazines.  It’s just an easy way to manage the ideas whirling around in my head.  I don’t stick to it rigidly, just as a source of inspiration.  I might start out making one thing and it usually turns into something else entirely.  Here’s what I’m thinking about this month:
