The Organized Life, June Paint Bucket
Happy June!
Summer has officially arrived in my corner of the world
and that means it’s grilling season!

either on the BBQ or picnic style!
The flavor/theme of the month is Outdoor Eating

Here’s what I made from the May Paint Bucket
the flavor of the month was Celebration
Our Kentucky Derby celebration was impromptu
so I didn’t get to make the Derby food
from the May bucket list
but we did nibble on Everything Mushroom Pockets
while we watched the most exciting 2 minutes in sports
Fig & Pear Prosciutto Tart was
inspired by Pear & Prosciutto Puff Pastry Tarte from Freut Cake
This is a delightful combination of flavors
Make this for brunch, appetizers, or as a side with salad
for a tasty warm weather meal
Grilled Romaine Salad with Oranges from The Painted Apron Archives
inspired me to share a round up of my favorite unusual summer salads
Honey Mustard Chicken Kebabs from Real Housemoms
was the inspiration for
Honey Mustard Chicken and Vegetable Kebabs
which was a big hit and a new grill favorite
You can use any vegetables you like
and be sure to make the delicious sauce
to drizzle over the cooked kebabs 😋
Summer Breeze Ravioli is full of the colors of summer
with bright green snow peas, yellow corn, and flavorful ham
It’s dump and go, assemble early in the day
and pop it in the oven at dinner time
One day I wanted to make Croque Monsieur Pie from Simply Suzanne’s At Home
or Chicken Bacon Ranch Crescent Ring from Pillsbury
but I didn’t have all the ingredients and didn’t want to go to the store
I took a quick inventory and came up with quite a list of possibilities
using the ingredients I did have…
I included several printables if you want to keep them for future reference
Download the Endless Possibilities printable here
I didn’t make any desserts on the May bucket list
but I did make Key Lime Cookie Cups from My Suburban Kitchen
{which were on the April Paint Bucket}
These Key Lime Pie Minis are the perfect summer dessert bite!
I also posted a round up of
Easy Food for Relaxing Summer Weekends
be sure to keep these in mind for the lazy days ahead!
Happy June!
