A Little "Kitchy" Idea

I've seen this somewhere and finally managed to do it myself. My spice cabinet is the perfect spot to use this handy reference board and it only costs about $10 or less to do. After constantly pulling out my cookbook for the same three recipes, I decided to try this.

All you need is:
1. Cork--you can get small tiles, large tiles, or rolls. I got the large tiles so I can use some for other projects
2. Dry Erase Board--this one was about $3.50 and is magnetic- you can keep a list of things you need- especially handy if you have it in the spice cabinet where it's easy to forget when you use one up.
3. Tacks--the small ones if you have thin cork


Use this to hang frequently used recipes for easy reference, grocery list, cooking notes, menus, you name it!

Monday Meals

So, this week, I will have a couple things on the menu from last week since we ate leftovers an extra night and had change of plans for Friday night foosball bonanza....my dear husband bought a foosball table from his cousin and I must admit, it's pretty fun to play! Anyway, back to the subject...here is my menu for the week. I am also going to challenge myself to take a cooler with me with sandwiches for lunch when we are out and about so we don't have to eat out (and we can enjoy the nice weather at a park). I am also including links to recipes that I make that I found online.

Monday-Chicken Pot Pie
Tuesday-Cheesy Chicken Simmer
Wednesday-Spaghetti, salad

Thursday-Lemon Pepper Chicken, veggies, baked potatoes (EASY...and can be done in crockpot!)- All you need is lemon pepper, butter, chicken breasts, lemons (optional)....place chicken in pan or crockpot, put butter on top (add water too if you do in crock), sprinkle lemon pepper on top, slice lemons and place on top, cover with foil if you do in oven, and cook til done!

Friday/ Saturday/ Sunday- Leftovers or a stand-by meal...birthday party and family gathering to attend!
