Here’s what I made last month from the September Paint Bucket. I didn’t get some of these posted yet since I’ve been so busy crafting, but they will be coming up very soon!
Apricot Gorgonzola Cheese Spread turned into APRICOT PINEAPPLE GORGONZOLA CHEESE SPREAD
Hissy Fit Dip~this will be posting soon and let me just say that now I know what all the fuss is about!
Caramelized onion, apple and gruyere bites turned into APPLE PEAR & WALNUT GORGONZOLA GALETTE
Corn and Zucchini Tacos turned into Not Guilty! Quesadillas, posting soon, these mile high, veggie filled quesadillas are guilt free!
Lavender Chicken from a quiet life. Do yourself a big favor and pop over to visit Jain for the recipe. She is a very talented cook and fabulous photographer. I was lucky enough to win the culinary lavender used in this recipe from Mary at a recent giveaway on her amazing blog, homeiswheretheboatis. Pop over and see all of Mary’s wonderful creations too! Thank you Mary!!
Applesauce Pecan Bread turned into CARAMEL APPLE PECAN PIE CAKE
Rolo Cake Mix Bars from Chef in Training, 4 ingredient cookies that you can make with ease~
Every month I try to cook something a little out of my comfort zone, just to keep things interesting~and some months I cook more than others, but making this list really pushes me to try different recipes.
Thanks for visiting, I hope I’ve given you some menu ideas for October!

Oh to be that organized…*sigh*… my method of dogeared and torn out pages and sticky notes is a little sad 🙂 Everything looks delicious Jenna, and I see several recipes above that I pinned to make too…so much food, so little time! Thanks for the reminder of Jain’s lavender chicken, I need to try it!
I love the way you have everything so organized, could you come over to my house and do a little of that, people think I am organized, but no, it does not come naturally…love your colorful fun blog…it’s a happy place…Phyllis
Well now, what a sweet thing to say!! I will confess, it is a daily struggle for me to stay organized, I have to resort to extremes or I veer off in all kind of crazy directions! Thanks, Phyllis~
Wow your pumpkin walnut spirals look amazing! Happy October-enjoy:@)
I can not wait till you post Hissy Fit Dip. I never heard of it, but it looks delicious. Thank you for sharing on our Four Seasons Blog Hop
Hi Jenna I’m sure Sally told you about last night! Here I come with the Apricot Pineapple spread(thinking I would impress her) and she had made that recipe also plus many more of yours! We loved them all-delicious! Love your website-hope all is well. Thanks and have a great weekend. Carol
Thanks so much Carol! I wish I could have joined the party! That is so funny that you both made the same thing! I am beyond flattered! Have fun on your trip to Mexico!!
