Before
who does this messy kitchen belong to? That can't be Rhonda's kitchen, can it?
Well, yes it was my kitchen this morning.
 |
another shot of my messy kitchen.
I have had a few days alone and I mostly just rested for a week.
I did the stuff that had to be done and a few little projects but mostly I just rested.
2011 was a busy year |
AFTER
I was slow getting around this morning but then I got busy in that messy kitchen.
All the dishes got washed and put away.
Supper is cooking in the crockpot -smothered pork chops.
Potatoes are peeled and waiting in a saucepan to cook for supper.
Every surface got wiped off including all the appliances and counter tops.
The floor was swept and mopped
The big pantry needed some organizing and got it
Trash taken out
awwww
it makes me smile just seeing my kitchen clean and organized again.

homemade croutons
I made croutons with some bread that just starting to be quite fresh enough - it is really easy .
We are having salad for supper but the croutons taste so good,
so I had a salad for lunch as I did not wait so long to eat them. |

Kitchen trash can lined with a brown grocery sack.
I try to remember to use those cloth bags when I shop but have not been too good about it lately.
We got a stack of these brown sacks in December when we bought groceries in Oklahoma City.
One big brown sack is just the right size for our kitchen trash can. |
an announcement and a frugal recipe
This is a photo of some things on my fridge.
edited !!!! This recipe also calls for 2 1/4 cups of milk
One is the Christmas card from my stepson Clint and his wife Amanda. The picture is her torso by their Christmas tree. If you click on the picture, you can read the message better.
The other is a recipe Amanda asked for months ago and I just got around to writing it out for her.
This baby will be a sibling for Gavin.
Our son Bobby and Sheena will also be having a baby
due the end of March.
We will have 4 grandbabies come next Christmas,
won't that be fun!!!!
So, I think 2012 is going to be a busy year too.
Good thing I've been resting for a week!
