May Round-up!

Well... The month of May came and went. I can hardly believe it. 


My first month as a "Martha-be" was overall successful. I almost, kind of, feel like a cook now... Well, maybe. Perhaps, I just learned how to follow recipes better, so I'm not sure if that counts. I also made more time for home projects which was completely rewarding. So, wherever you are, thank you Martha!


Since my last post, I completed a few more (but not all!) recipes in the May MS Living - including the Lentil Arugula Salad, which was amazing! I would definitely give it a 9 on the rating scale. 


Additionally, my fiance and I took on a few home projects in the month of May, including the repainting (staining?) of our small-ish back deck and potting some greenery and herbs in our urban concrete jungle. This is now one of my favorite spaces in our city-home, even though when we were painting we absolutely despised the shockingly terracotta paint color. By adding some plants and our furniture, it changed the space significantly and we both love the change. I think Martha would be proud... Enjoy!


Woo hoo! Herb garden :)

Mapping Out May

This weekend I spent some time going through the May MS Living and I tried to figured out the best way to tackle the projects and recipes. Luckily for me, this months MS Living is "lighter" than some of the other issues. 


The breakdown is as follows:
26 Food Recipes
5 Drink Recipes
3 Home Projects
3 Craft Projects
By spending a few minutes sorting the issue, highlighting and "halving" the recipes, I have a better sense of my shopping list for the month. This truly is a "good thing" because I have a frequent habit of wandering through grocery (and craft) store like a lost child. Not any longer! I finally have a plan and I can't wait to execute it. 


The fun begins tomorrow!
