Dry Erase To-Do List

I have been seeing picture frame dry erase boards all over blogland lately and I decided to expand on that idea and create a dry erase checklist! I started out with this document sized frame from dollar tree:

Cherry Tomato Sauce with Pasta

This recipe is a great way to use some of the fresh cherry tomatoes that are in season. The balsamic vinegar was a little too much for my son though. I told him he had to at least try it and he hated it so much he started crying because he was afraid I was going to make him eat more of it! Maybe your kid's have a more sophisticated palette than my son but if not, I would suggest having something else on hand for them. :)

Blackberry Muffins

Blackberries are in season now and this muffin recipe is a great way to use some of them. YUM!

Organizing Fabric

I don't about you, but my fabric stash is always a mess. I finally decided it was time to do something about it because for awhile now it has looked like this:

Hot/Cold Pack

These rice packs are great for aches and pains. Keep it in the freezer if you want to cool down or pop it in the microwave for a couple of minutes to relieve the pain with heat.

Teriyaki Chicken

This chicken is super easy to make and always comes out juicy with great flavor.

Candy Box Magnets

My latest creation: super cute candy box refrigerator magnets!

Seriously, how often do you get to use crafting as an excuse to eat candy?!

Bulletin Board Jewelry Organizer

My jewelry box doesn't work very well for necklaces so today I decided to make my own jewelry organizer using a bulletin board from Dollar Tree!

Chicken Fajitas, Cilantro Lime Rice & Fresh Tomato Salsa

I made these delicious Chicken Fajitas by combining a few recipes that I adapted from the awesome cookbook: Jamie's Food Revolution.

Getting Rid of Porcelain Sink Stains

BEFORE:

My porcelain sink has acquired some really nasty stains, a problem I'm sure many of you have faced. I tried scrubbing at the stains and used all kinds of cleansers (some I'm sure you should never use on a porcelain sink) but nothing worked. So I looked online and everything required filling up the sink and letting it soak for a couple of hours. Well, not only is it a pain to find a time when you for sure won't need your sink for that long, but I also didn't have a plug that would work for the garbage disposal side. So I put it off.
