Here’s what I made from the January Paint Bucket
Cheddar Spritz Crackers from Happier than a Pig in Mud turned into Cheddar Cheese Cookies in a Painted Jar and was featured on The Style Sisters, Centerpiece Wednesday
Roasted Grapes, Smoked Cheddar and Walnut Salad from Nibbles by Nic turned into Winter Roasted Grape Salad
Honey Stung Carrots from French Gardener Dishes turned into Honey Roasted Carrots with Green Beans and Sesame Seeds and was chosen for a dish on Miz Helen’s Country Cottage, Full Plate Thursday
Deep Dish Spinach Quiche with Toasted Sesame Crust from Half Baked Harvest turned into Sesame Crusted Spinach and Prosciutto Pizza
Noodles with Ginger Peanut Dressing from Food Network turned into Zucchini Noodles with Pesto, Pistachio and Pine Nuts
Mini Cannoli Cups from Love Bakes Good Cakes turned into Italian Cream Tarts
I can’t really pick a favorite from January’s dishes, they were sooo very good… I hope you’ll give some of these a try!
Enjoy!

Your posts are so creative and fun. I would love for you to try a new camera. I think your outstanding posts would show to their best images with a better camera and lighting. Don’t take this as a criticism but as a suggestion to really up your game as a terrific blogger
Thanks Bama, your comments are much appreciated! My goal for 2015 is to become a better photographer…My posts are real however, the food I photograph is moments away from being served and eaten, and so many times the conditions for capturing it aren’t ideal. My main goal as a life style blogger is to give my readers informative posts that teach or inspire them to cook or create. I really value your feedback, the kind words, and taking time to make suggestions~ I hope you’ll stop back by and check my progress…
Jenna, you always have some of the best recipes…the food looks delicious, too! I see a couple here that I think I will be trying.
Have a great weekend!
Thanks Marigene, so appreciated! Happy cooking!
Sounds like a super delicious month! Everything looks AMAZING!!
Thanks Chris! Now I just have to cook it 🙂
That creamy orange dressing sure sounds good Jenna! Looks like you’ll be eating well in February-have fun:@)
Yum! You amaze me Jenna with all your creativity in the kitchen! I wonder sometimes if folks realize how challenging food photography is. For me it’s a chore and I have to be in the right frame of mind for the lighting and plating. I just don’t have the energy or the time to photograph just a handful of recipes each month. Bravo to you 🙂
Thanks so much Mary, you are incredibly nice…and much appreciated~
Stopping by from Full Plate Thursday. What a clever idea! I love this post. It is truly inspiring. I hope that you will come by and share at my party which starts every Monday at Midnight mountain time and runs until Friday at 6.
So many yummy ideas – they all sound so good, but I’m eyeing that mushroom stroganoff suggestion! Thanks for sharing at Talented Tuesdays – I know I’m not the only one always in need of delicious meal ideas!
