NEW RECIPES TO TRY

I also tried several other successful new recipes recently and they will be popping up a little here and a little there over the next few weeks.

I’m back to trying recipes from my experimentation file this month so am hopeful that there will be many to pass on to you soon.

Nothing this week.

FAVORITE PHOTO OF THE WEEK
We went out to dinner and then to the Bullriding event Saturday night at the fairgrounds and I snapped this picture as we were heading into the restaurant.  It just doesn’t so justice to how beautiful it really was.
 

HOMEMAKING TIP OF THE WEEK

Start your spring cleaning in January and do a different room each month so it isn’t so overwhelming.  See this post and chart for help eliminating clutter.

ON MY MIND LATELY

Trying to understand why someone who asks for advice, ignores it and then gets mad at you for giving it thinks.

INSPIRATIONAL

YUMMY sounding recipes!! I love your tip for Spring cleaning! Great idea on not getting so overwhelming. Your inspirational quote & picture is beautiful. Love it. 😉

Another week of delicious dinners. Love the homemaking tip – I've pinned several plans on Pinterest for tackling cleaning a little bit every day and a different room each month is a great plan for spring cleaning. Must figure out which daily plan works best for me and start using it! Have a great week.

Your menu is reminding me of some dishes I would like to try. Started my spring cleaning in January with 34 weeks to clean. Great meme 🙂 off to check it out.Thanks for the link!
