The Organized Life, March Paint Bucket
Can you believe it’s March already? Yea Spring is almost here! Time for a new bucket list of recipes~
I never make everything on the list and try to leave lots of room for variation and adaptation depending on what’s going on. The February list really helped me make some wonderful things and pushed me to try new recipes even during very busy days. Sometimes I just don’t have time to think or plan so I go to the list and just choose something~
Here’s some things I might try this month
Appetizers
Green Goddess Dip
Vegetable Pot Stickers [brought over from the February List]
Bite Size Gourmet Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
Pineapple Empanaditas
Sides
Stacked Salad
Mexican Rice from Happier than a Pig in Mud
Cucumber Salad
Lime and Creamy Cashew Fettucini from Half Baked Harvest
Main Dish
Black Bean & Corn Burrito with Guacamole
Slow Cooker Tomato Basil Soup from the Girl who Ate Everything
Friday Night Pasta from Half Baked Harvest
Creamy Chicken Quinoa and Broccoli Casserole from pinch of yum
Desserts and Miscellaneous
Bailey’s Pound Cake
Thousand Island Dressing
Homemade Pretzel Bread from Caitlin over at the Siren’s Tale
Almond & Oat Granola Bars from Anne at From My Sweet Heart

We enjoyed this easy dip for the Olympics and the Super Bowl~I didn’t make the pretzels, maybe next time
Roasted Green Beans with Parmesan Crust, which I am calling simply Roasted Green Beans Parmesan are so easy and sooo good
Grilled Fennel Salad from the Proud Italian Cook and Brussels Sprouts Salad with Maple Vinaigrette from Mary at Home is Where the Boat is combined to form a new family favorite, Roasted Fennel and Brussels Sprouts with Bacon Salt
Warm Romaine & Bleu Cheese Salad with Orange Shallot Dressing is a favorite from the archives, just click on the title to see the original post
Caramelized Pear and Gorgonzola Quiche from Closet Cooking was a real winner, this dish was featured three times last month, at the 4 Seasons Blog Hop at Easy Life and Party Planning and the Super Saturday Link Party at It All Started with Paint and Show Stopper Saturday at Will Cook for Smiles!
I can’t wait to make this again, leftovers freeze like a dream too!

The pear and gorgonzola quiche is definitely on my list of things to make. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
Ooh it’s so hard to choose from you list but the Green Goddess dip and cucumber salad sound yummy. As do the gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches…but it’s almost swimsuit season, so I’m thinking that may not be such a good idea…
as for the grilled cheese, I plan on making them REALLY little! That should help right?
Oh yes. That will most definitely help and now you can count my vote toward those as well! 🙂
Everything sounds really good Jenna and I think you’ll like the rice if you try it. Your green beans look great, I wouldn’t mind a few to munch on now:@)
I like your idea of writing down the things you want to try each month – maybe if I did this I would actually get to some of the things I look at and say I should try that! It all looks and sounds good!
Great to have you at Seasonal Sundays!

The QUICHE and the pizza, are on my must try list Jenna! Thanks for the delicious inspiration 🙂
