The Organized Life, April Paint Bucket

There always seems to be more recipes than time, so a monthly recipe “bucket list” is how I try to sort out what I want to make.  I hope to share some delicious Springy concoctions with you as April rolls along~

  1. Everything looks so good, Jenna. A delicious bucket list.

  2. It all sounds good! The grilled cheese nuggets are an instant “yes” and I want to see your recipe for carrot soup! Panini Pete’s here in Fairhope had it on their menu for a while and the whole town was abuzz with praise. But every time I went by and tried to order it, they were sold out! Isn’t that the saddest carrot soup story you’ve ever heard?
    I’ll watch for your version!

  3. Ha, Thanks Leslie Anne, I will be sure to make some carrot soup just for you!

    While I’ve made tons of soups, carrot isn’t one of them-sounds good! Not sure what I’ll be making but I am determined to fire up the grill at some point:@)

    Love it! What a clever way to organize recipe ideas….Everything looks so delicious. I agree I have more ideas than time (sigh).

    Oops, I thought I commented but I don’t see it here. Everything looks delicious Jenna, I’m not nearly as organized. I need to whip up a batch of your Green Goddess dressing 🙂
