The Organized Life, January Paint Bucket
Posted by the Painted Apron on December 31, 2017 · 15 Comments

🥂 Cheers to 2018!
Everyone likes to eat lighter after the holidays so the flavor of the month for January is Broccoli
Although broccoli is not a favorite vegetable of mine it is so healthy and versatile, I want to try using it in some new ways
If you’re not a fan of broccoli, don’t worry, there are plenty of tempting recipes on this month’s list without it!

Here’s what I made from the December Paint Bucket
The flavor of the month was holiday, so everything from basic fries and mac and cheese got a little “fancied up”
Warm Fig & Prosciutto Goat Cheese Dip from Iowa Girl Eats became Figgy Bleu Spread
Cranberry White Cheddar Spirals can be assembled in minutes
Fancy Skinny Nibbling Fries are acutally Potato Peel Fries
Jack Daniels Smoky Bacon Mac & Cheese from the Slow Roasted Italian turned into
Iron Skillet Smokey Mac & Cheese on the Grill
Sheet Pan Shrimp was adapted from New Orleans Style BBQ Shrimp from Dream Home Cooking Girl
I made a Snowy cookie tree inspired by Table top Christmas Cookie Trees from BHG,
Good for decoration or eating!
Cranberry Lemon Pie from Traeger Grills is such a pretty holiday dessert
We had it for Thanksgiving but it would be wonderful anytime during the holidays
I combined elements from Peppermint Mocha Cheesecake Dip from Mom on Time Out, Oreo Peppermint Crunch Cookies from Inside Bru Crew Life, and Red Velvet Cake into
These cookies can be enjoyed 3 different ways and they make up in minutes
Cheers to a New Year and lots of great recipes!

Jenna, the Panettone Bread Pudding sounds fabulous! Broccoli is not my favorite either, but I am sure you have chosen some good recipes to share! Happy New Year and it is going to be a very cold start!
Glad to know I’m not the only one in the not favorite Broccoli camp! It’s freezing on the coast too, I hope you stay safe and warm over New Years~
Oh, now I am hungry, what a wonderful array of yumminess!
Thanks Carole!
Some really great pics from some great food blogs. I’ve thought about making those ritz cracker but afraid I’ll eat them all. I am like that with Chex mix. Cannot stay away from it. I have also seen those enchiladas on damn delicious and want to make. That million dollar whit spaghetti sounds amazing too. Tons of yumminess this month!
