Recipes for the month of June:
Goal # 16

We went to Salt Lake on June 12th to get together with

Lorin's kids.  Sean was up from Arizona with

his family, so everyone got together that Sunday.

We had a delicious lunch and I think this Grape Salad was my

very favorite of all the food.  Yummy !!!

Anyway I decided it should be the recipe to try for June. 

Excellent decision.  It even turned out wonderful

when Lorin and I made it.

Trust me, it tastes so much better than it looks.

Strawberry Crumb Cake

I believe I saw this on one of Tish's pinterest pages.

Thanks Tish.  It really does taste delicious!  We will try

this one again for sure. 

We had it warm with ice cream on it.  So good.

GOAL # 45

Make a book of inspiring quotes and sayings.

I have been saving quotes and sayings on my computer

since I made this goal and finally accumulated enough

to make a book.  I went online to a site called

Bookemon.  I liked the easy way they had to put the book

together, and it was relatively inexpensive (much less than

the site I used for Grandma & Grandpa's anniversary book).  Anyway I

worked for a couple of days putting it together using 9 different

categories, got it finished, and found out it is a site that other people

can go to and buy the book.  Who would want to buy a book

called JaNele's book of quotes and sayings?!?!?!?  I just

wanted to make a simple book for my collection.  Out of curiosity

I looked it up and they want people to pay something like

50 something dollars for it.  Ya right!!!!!  My cost is much much less. 

I really do like making books online.  I think it is going to be

a hobby of mine.  That will be goal # 53-finished.

I for sure have to get much better at proof-reading though.

You can look at it at www.bookeman.com anyway I think you

can look at it.  If not I can give you my password if you are interested.

Goal # 82

Eat Smores

After we got back from Salt Lake, Sean called and wanted

to bring his family here and stay for a few days.   One day

we barbecued for supper and they bought some cookies

that had chocolate on them.  We toasted marshmallows

and put them between two of the cookies and that was their

idea of smores.  Although I counted this as my goal

I feel cheated and will definitely have to have the

real thing later this year.



A couple more goals complete

                                           Continuing on goal #16
                                     Try 2 recipes a month for 6 months

                                          Chicken and Citrus Salad
This is the best salad ever!!!!  It is definetly my new all time favorite-Mmmmmm.
It called for raspberry vinaigerette dressing, so to be safe on the taste we ordered it from BYUI.  I had eaten some from them and knew it was delicious. It is absolutely wonderful.  We have made it 3 times so far.  We will be making it again.

                                             2nd recipe for the month of May

                                                    Cashew Chicken

I really enjoyed this recipe also.  It is a recipe that Lorin had in the cupboard and apparently he and Linda had made it, but I had never made it so I'm counting it for a new recipe. It was really very good, but the second time we made only half a batch. We had a lot of left overs the first time.

This is how it looked in the pan

On the plate

It called for Chinese noodles on the top for a delicious taste treat.

It's very refreshing to find two recipes in the same month that are delicious.

Definetly two thumbs up

Goal #35

Go through my shoes

Lorin decided to make me some shoe holders for my birthday present this year.  So in a sense I had to go through my shoes.  We measured all my shoes to see how big to make the bins for them.  This was a much bigger project than we anticipated, and we had to take a break in the middle for him to have hernia surgery.  He couldn't lift anything heavier that 15 pounds for 6 weeks, so needless to say it wasn't done on my birthday.  They turned out wonderful and I love them.

                                            I have 2 closets-this is in one of them

                                    

                                                       These are in the other

                      As you can see by the empty shoe bins I need to go shopping

                                                        Excellent !!!!!

                                                         Goal #36

                                                  Go through my socks

I mentioned this goal to Lorin and while I was gone to lunch on monday with my friends he made me some seperators for the stocking drawer.  Well that made  it pretty easy to organize them.  It's much easier to find the color I want now  Thanks Lorin-you are awesome!!!

                      Before organization-messy-couldn't find the the one I wanted.

                             After organization-love it.  All color co-ordinated

Yes, I do have a lot of socks
