Here’s what I made for the January Paint Bucket
the flavor/theme of the month was Lighten Up
This Football Watching Menu for the Super Bowl
is lightened up from an Easy Appetizer Menu
from the holidays
Cheddar Bacon Ranch Celery Sticks from This Silly Girl’s Kitchen
inspired this Amazing Stuffed Celery
a wonderful low carb snack, lunch or app
Loaded Chicken & Asparagus Braid
was the result of using up some leftovers
that were in the refrigerator
It can be a meal or an appetizer
Southwestern Egg Rolls are baked not fried
and can be served for an appetizer, side dish or main course
BBQ Pork Tacos with Pineapple Cucumber Salad
are a great way to use leftover BBQ pulled pork
I also shared Themed Charcuterie Boards,
so much fun for gatherings!
The Best Winter Salad from Our Tiny Nest inspired me to make
Roasted Broccoli & Asparagus Salad,
a delicious dinner in a bowl any time of year
No Bake Lemon Berry Cups from SkinnyMs turned into
Lemon Shooters, an easy mini no bake dessert
Looking forward to February fun!

Valentine’s Day is also MY daughter’s birthday!!! (She waited arrived 20 minutes after midnight and narrowly avoided being born on Fri 13th)
Oh wow, wasn’t a baby on Valentine’s Day truly a gift of love?!
Reading these posts with roundups of your fabulous recipes always makes me hungry. Making a list for Super Bowl weekend snacking!
Thank you Carole!
Jenna, these recipes look scrumptious! I can’t wait to see all the delicious dishes you will cook up in February. Wishing you a wonderful week ahead!
Thank you Shannon, I can’t believe it’s almost February!
Jenna, you always share the best mouthwatering recipes! I am looking forward to your February art shares!
Thanks so much Mary 🙂
What a delicious month of Love you are going to have! Happy birthday to your son! And can’t wait to see what you share!
LOVE it all!
Love it all Jenna. Just pinned the celery appetizer! YUM! Happy Week to you dear Jenna. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Thanks Cindy, I hope you enjoy, it’s a good one!
Thanks so much Nancy, have a great week!
Jenna, you always share amazing recipes. I also love charcuterie boards. Happy early birthday to your son and also an amazing chef!
Oh Pam, thank you so much!
Your January food shares were awesome. I’m looking forward to your February posts (although I can’t believe February is almost here!).
Your celery looks good Jenna! Also would love to try the butternut squash pot pie… I have a squash on the counter right now:@)
Thanks Lynn, the celery is a new favorite and I love butternut squash {not the cutting part though 😂}
I saved a lot of yours last month. I do have to remember about the celery and the braid!
Thanks Jeanie, the celery and the braid are favorites!
I do see many good things to eat in your bucket. There are several that will appear here in future weeks.
Oh good, thanks Lulu!
I don’t know how I missed the lemon shooters….it’s fun to look back at all your January recipes and see what’s ahead for February.
I love stuffed celery, but unfortunately for my waistline, I like pimento and cheese stuffed celery ;P but I think I like your idea of adding bacon even more!
I love pimiento cheese too and peanut butter stuffed celery–at least there’s no bread 😂
Lots to love on your list Jenna! February will be a fun month of celebration at your house. 🙂 ♥
Thanks Mary 🙂
So many delicious treats here Jenna that I hardly know where to start. I guess with my faves which would be anything with bacon or cheese lol. I hope you have a great month with all your celebrations to look forward to!
Thanks Kim, Happy February!
