Here’s what I made from the December Paint Bucket
Ham and Cheese Hash Brown Waffles from Damn Delicious took a turn and became Ham & Swiss Swirls with Mustard Poppy Seed Butter
Mixed Nut Tarts from Plain Chicken turned into Rosemary Mixed Nut Tartlettes
Sweet Potato Chip Nachos with Brussels Bacon & Bleu were inspired by Smashed Sweet Potato Toast with Caramelized Onion and Pomegranate from French Gardener Dishes
Loaded Mashed Potato Balls from Damn Delicious turned into Panko Potato Balls
Sausage & Tortellini Soup from Tracy’s Culinary Adventures turned into Deli Sandwich Ravioli Bake
I tweaked one of my own recipes, Asparagus in a Cloud, and turned it into Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus Alfredo Pizza
Honey Garlic Crockpot Chicken from Diethood turned into Slow Cook Sticky Chicken
Maple Bacon Butter from Grandbaby Cakes combined with Sticky Bun Breakfast Ring from the Jones Way to make Sticky Bun Biscuit Wreath
Black & White Bailey’s Truffles from the Barefoot Contessa combined with White Chocolate Cranberry Pistachio Bark with Sea Salt from Coastal Living November Magazine into Sweet & Salty White Trash Bark
It is extremely tasty, but I had some technical difficulties which need fixing before I can share it with you 😳
My favorite recipe this month was, hands down, Sweet Potato Chip Nachos with Brussels Bacon & Bleu…if you can’t stand the idea of Brussels sprouts, leave them off, but you’ll be missing the best part, I promise!
Thanks for cooking with me this month, and remember you can always see the current Paint Bucket here
