Spice Rack

Well I have been hard at work on my pantry.  It is looking good and I hope to be done by Friday!  I am excited to reveal it to everyone.  My arm is sore from painting.  Yikes, I am out of shape.

Anyway, I wanted to post something that I meant to last week but forgot about it.  I have a spice rack that my Grandma gave me years ago.  It belonged to her mother, my Great-Grandma McClure.  It is nothing fancy or not worth a lot of money but I have always liked it.  I do not really have a lot of heirlooms, so I cherish this little spice rack.  I like to think of my Grandma McClure using it in her kitchen and cooking up some wonderful dishes for her family.  My Grandma McClure was a fantastic cook and she passed everything down to my Grandma(her only daughter and child).  We all love my Grandma's cooking and she is still making us wonderful home-cooked meals at 82 years!  Now, I am not such a great cook even though I do try.  However, I think my Great Grandma's organizing skills must have been passed down to me.  I always have my spices organized just like she must have years ago.

Sprucing Up the Pantry

So my next project that I will be working on is the pantry.  I am going to repaint the shelves, add ribbon to the trim and use baskets to organize.  I also need to make labels and tags for the baskets.  I will post before pics  as I go along and after pics when it is all finished.  Wish me luck!

Valentine's Cookies

So I wanted to do something different for my son's class party, but I wanted it to be quick and easy.  I have seen on Pinterest so many yummy pictures of food dipped in chocolate.  So, I got some Oreos, Bakers Chocolate and pink sprinkles.

I heated the chocolate in a microwave safe dish, dipped in the cookies and placed them on wax paper.  I then sprinkled on the pink sprinkles and put into the fridge to cool and harden.

That is it!  Wow!  Super easy and so yummy!  I hope the kids like them as much as I do.
