The Organized Life, May Paint Bucket
Happy May!
Finally Spring has truly arrived everywhere and we can all dance around the Maypole!
I was truly torn choosing the Flavor of the Month, but finally decided to embrace Cinco de Mayo and the Flavor of the Month is Healthier Mexican, and see if we can lighten up some traditional Mexican favorites

Here’s what I made from the April Paint Bucket
The flavor of the month was Strawberry 🍓
I only made two strawberry dishes, but you can visit a round-up of my best strawberry recipes here
Last Minute Warm Figgy Bleu Cheese Dip with Sweet Potato Chips, original recipe
Jiffy Jiffy Cornbread is an easy and delicious moist cornbread full of corn and cheese
Spring Vegetables with Parmesan Cream from the Proud Italian Cook and Sesame Zoodles from Cookies & Cups combined into a wonderful sheet pan dish, Spring Sheet Pan Zoodles & Pasta
I got the idea for Strawberry, Apple & Pear Spinach Salad with Strawberry Vinaigrette from Natasha’s Kitchen, but ended up making a different Fresh Strawberry Dressing from Cooktoria
Spaghetti Pie from Julie’s Creative Lifestyle turned into Creamy Asparagus & Spaghetti Pie
No Bake Strawberry Lemonade Pie from Bread Booze Bacon turned into Sarah’s Luscious Lemon Pie
2 ingredient Weight Watchers Bagels from Mess for Less are unbelievably easy to make!
I really can’t pick a favorite recipe from the April list, we enjoyed them all!

Jenna, I enjoyed all the April recipes that you shared. Thre triple lemon blueberry bunds sounds delicious! Happy Sunday!
Thanks Pam, that will be coming up on Tuesday!
I love Mexican food, and it is much better when the fat is reduced. Nice roundup of recipes!
Me too, I am going to see what I can do to make them less guilty!
How can you out do yourself for May…can’t wait to see what you come up with.
Thanks Sharon!
Such a great collection of recipes and I do love the lighter versions. Love the Maypole, just beautiful! Happy Sunday…….
Thanks Emily, I am looking forward to lightening up some favorites!
Oh Jenna…. that warm figgy blue dip sounds so darn good. Have a great week!
I always enjoy seeing what you cook up for each month! A delight to my eyes! 😊💕👍
There’s always something happening in our kitchen, HH love to cook too so it can be a busy place!
I am so glad that I looked at your blog today. I was just looking at a package of asparagus in the fridge, wondering how much longer it would last. Then I saw your asparagus spaghetti pie. How interesting! I love both, so I’m going to give it a try.
Oh good! I think you’ll love it!
Everything looks delicious Jenna! I’m with Pam on the Triple Lemon Blueberry Bundt. Happy Monday. ♥
I’ll have a pulled pork Quesadilla please! Sounds like you’ll be eating well this month Jenna-enjoy the nicer weather:@)
May will be a delicious and healthier month for sure! We love Mexican food. I love your little maypole centerpiece. It’s adorable!
xo,
RJ
Thanks RJ, we eat Mexican at least once a week 🙂
I have both the pie and bagels printed out to make soon. They look so good!
