Kitchen Herb Garden and Vine Fence are two of the project's that we have on our spring garden bucket list. We like to get most of our special garden project's finished in the spring, so we can enjoy them as the garden season moves along. This year we had two projects on our bucket list for completion. The first project is a Kitchen Herb Garden just outside my kitchen door and the other a smaller project for climbing vines that is located in one of the larger garden area's. This post gives complete instructions for building both of these projects.

This is the most delicious breakfast bake and it taste just like Apple Pie. Who wouldn't want Apple Pie for breakfast? When I made this for my family recently they all just loved it and there was not a bite left. This is a real easy breakfast bake to make and in no time it is ready to be served. I hope that you enjoy this recipe as much as we have.

Only 3 days of February and then on to March and the beginning of spring. We have been real busy here at the cottage, my husband and son are finishing out a screen porch for us, I am so excited to get the porch screened, so we can enjoy the outdoors "bug free". We are also doing some spring garden projects that I will be sharing with you in a post this coming week. When we are busy like this it is even more important for us to have a meal plan to follow, it really does save time and money.

Welcome to Full Plate Thursday, come on in the house it is pouring rain outside. We are beginning to get our spring rains here and just in time for garden season. It is the last Thursday of the month so we are featuring our Top Ten Viewed Post from last week. This is always a fun time to see what you are viewing the most. We have some of the greatest cooks on the planet that share their wonderful recipes with us every week and I can't wait to see what you are bringing today.

When we have a ladies luncheon at our church, there is just about always a Chicken Salad of some kind. This recipe for Baked Chicken Salad Casserole is one of my favorites to take. The dish is full of great flavor and I have never brought any of it back home.I took this recipe to a luncheon recently and promised the ladies that I would post the recipe, so enjoy!

One of our families favorite bowl of beans is Cajun Red Beans and Rice. This is a full meal in a bowl just packed with great flavor. I have been making this recipe for many years and it was printed first in my cookbook, Miz Helen's Kitchen Table, the cookbook is out of print now so I will share the recipe with you here. One thing I really love about this recipe is the slow cooker, and the delicious flavors at the end of the day.

I actually had a request for the meal plan this week, my husband said can you please make that Italian Roast again, well of course I will. It is always so much fun to get a food request or to make someones favorite. We will be going to the city for a market run, so my meal plan will sure help me to make that list for the market. I won't have to buy meat this week I have it all in the freezer. Sure glad to see you this morning, so help yourself to a cup of coffee and lets get this meal plan finished.

Hope you had a great Valentine Day, I am such a romatic and just love the sweetheart days. We had a covered dish supper for a group of friends and family recently and I served some of the wonderful dishes from Full Plate Thursday. You bring some of the greatest recipes every week to share. You are a very special group of friends and I sure appreciate you sharing your talent with us every week! I can't wait to see what you are sharing today so lets get this party started!

One of my Christmas Gifts this year was some new donut tins.I gave mine to one of my Granddaughters sometime ago, but have really missed enjoying baked donuts.My husband must have missed them because the new tins were from him.We love these little mini donuts, they are just the perfect little treat, just a couple of bites, well of course you can have more than one donut, (I sure did)!

This Italian flavored pot roast has the best flavor of any pot roast that we have had in a very long time. I have a little secret ingredient that you would never guess would be in an Italian blend. A slow cooker pot roast is always so tender it will just fall apart when serving not to mention the smell begins to make the whole kitchen so inviting.

I love the special time of Valentine's and Sweethearts, I am such a romantic. I am planning a very special dinner for my sweetheart this valentine day. I also have some busy days coming up so I will sure take all that into consideration when making my meal plan for the week.Are you planning a special dinner for your sweetheart this week? Let me know what your plans are, it is always fun to see what others are planning.

The Super Bowl is over and now it is on to Valentine Day. How many of you are making very special dinners for the sweetheart day? I had so much fun looking at all the food you shared last week. Each week I actually cook some of your recipes and it is always on my Whats For Dinner Next Week that post out every Saturday, you can check it out to see what I made from this party. Hope each of you are having a great week and we can't wait to enjoy the wonderful recipes that you will be sharing today.

This is a very different Fudge with a spicy kick.  I love to serve this fudge it is so creamy and really has fabulous flavor.  When my husband ask for Fudge this is his favorite recipe.  This recipe is so easy to put together and it is ready to serve in a short time.  This fudge is great for dessert or a special treat!

This is a very special recipe that my Mother would make for her bridge club, all of her friends just loved this cake. In her later years she lived with me and my husband so I would make it for her and some of her friends when they would get together. This is a very dense cake and very rich, I have updated the recipe just a bit and use a different frosting that cuts down on the time.Today I am presenting the cake on my husbands Mothers "everyday" cake plate. She called it her everyday cake plate and then had a crystal plate for more special occasions. We love and enjoy the special family recipes and heirlooms that have been passed down to us, very special memories.

It is finally here, for all the sports lovers in our family Super Bowl Weekend. We will be having a nice buffet on Sunday for the big game day.  On Tuesday we will be having a great casserole that I hope you enjoy as much as we do. I have had my weekend buffet planned for sometime and have actually already done some of the cooking and have it in the freezer ready to go. That is one of the awesome reasons that I enjoy meal planning, so many times we can get it done ahead of time.

It is great to kick off February with all of you! We are having fun here at the cottage actually doing some spring planting in our garden and getting seeds ready for more planting. I love some of the ethnic post we had last week and can't wait to try them.  I wonder what some of you are working on this time of the year when for the most part we are confined due to weather.  I am sure you are bringing some fantastic recipes to share with us today so lets get this party started!
