New Beginnings Entry & A little Cleaning

Bacon, Gravy & Biscuits

Even Canned biscuits!

Today. I am adding : "MEALS" to my New Beginnings Journal.

I am reserving several pages for this.

Yum! Homemade Bread! 

I will add the video soon!

So back to MEALS!

We all get in a rut and can't figure out what to cook.

I am listing my normal everyday meals in my journal

just as a reminder.  When I am at a loss, I can always

go to my journal to help me when I can't think of anything.

When I cook something good, I will add it to the list.

This journal is something I will use all year long.

Look at my new sign!

My Mom bought me that!

I love it.

We also started a cleaning series on Facebook like

get their homes in order.

Today I shared my Basic Weekly Plan.

I use index cards. I learned this method back in the 80's!

Cleaning Mood - The Pantry

BEFORE

AFTER

You would not want to see this drawer before I cleaned it out.

It was a mess!

And so was this one.

And this one. I conveniently forgot to take BEFORE pictures of the drawers.

Boy I have got messy!

Cabinet #2 BEFORE

Hope hubby doesn't see this one!

Both are empty and clean.

This is what the room looks like now.

My pantry room is all clean and organized.

One room at a time.

I think this deserves something yummy!

This is one of my favorite things!

Crescent Rolls with a twist.

Roll up and place on pan. Drizzle olive oil over rolls. Sprinkle with freshly ground pepper and sea salt. Then sprinkle with basil and oregano.I add Parmesan cheese too! Bake as directed.

Worth every calorie!!!

One Room At A Time!!!!

This And That

I realized that I haven't shown you my new bed.

We have always wanted a king size bed but thought our bedroom was too small.
Well, we found out if you don't have a lot in your room you can make it work.
We used to have a dresser, chest, entertainment center, night stands and a queen size bed that we had for 22 years. It was still in great condition but I was determined that I was going for "less is more" in my bedroom and I did. We love our king size bed.

Sorry about the glare but I wanted to show you the new t.v. we have also.

It is a 42 inch flat screen. So all we have in our bedroom now is this t.v. on the wall, my king size bed ( I call it my cloud because it is so comfy), and 2 night stands.
Believe it or not it makes our bedroom look bigger. I think sweet hubby likes it too since he wants to stay in the bedroom more to watch this t.v. because the picture (HD) is wonderful.

Have you really ever thought about how important the kitchen sink is?
When I started learning about Flylady the kitchen sink is where you get started.
The kitchen sink is more important than we think.

There is always something to do in my house but I try to limit it to 15 -30 minutes a day like flylady teaches. I used to wait until I had a full load to do my laundry but now I just do small loads when needed. I raised 4 children so I was used to a lot of laundry but now it just being the 2 of us it seems like a breeze.

I may have already given you this recipe so if I did here it is again.

The Easiest & Best Peanut Butter Cookies

1 cup of sugar

1 cup of peanut butter

1 egg

Mix together and spoon onto cookie sheet.

Bake @ 350 degrees for 9-11 minutes.

(Don't overcook)

I have been practicing how to do embroidery stitches and cross stitching.

As you can see I have nothing to show you.

I am just having the hardest time but I will keep practicing until I get better.

This is a desire of my heart so I am determined.
