Hey you all!  How is Monday treating ya?  Well…just don’t let it beat you up…that is all I have to say.  It’s hours are numbered.

So…pretty kitchen faces on mmmMonday!  Just a few shots of some things that abide in our kitchen.  Maybe a little foodie talk and of course junking convo thrown in there?  Okay.  Let’s hit it.

Did you make a huge feast for the fam this weekend?  Let’s see…Friday night I made the nachos that I was telling you about here.  They were really good.  All of the credit goes to Jess…the Mr.’s cousin.  It’s her brain child.

On Saturday we had a birthday celebration with my dad.  We partied hearty with pizza.  (What is my deal with pizza?  The older I get…the more I love it.)  Then last night after church we had grilled burgers at the fellowship hall.  Um…I think that we had junk food…ALL WEEKEND.  It’s time to pull out the spinach guys.  Seriously.

You know…I did make a new recipe.  I took it to church last night.  It’s called Cherries in the Snow Trifle.  It was pretty good…if you are a cherry pie filling kind of person.  I found the recipe on Pinterest here. Isn’t trifle fun?  I think that this would also be good with blueberry pie filling.   I might have to try that next time.

I  thought that it would be fun to show you a few of the constant “faces” in our kitchen.  Last Friday I decided to take down any décor that I did not absolutely love.  I kept my favorites out.  I can do that.  I am the boss of my own kitchen.  😉

Want the low down on some of  the junk in my kitchen?  Okay. Here goes.  That little mug holding chalk?  It’s an old shaving mug that I found at a yard sale.  It actually says “Father” in gold.  Yeah…I turned that around.   Um….the bundt cake pan (Quit laughing MIL.) was from…my MIL.  It has been hanging there since our home was built.  The old locker basket was picked up at a yard sale.  I love those.  I am on the look out for more. The hobnail glass lamp came from…wait for it……..ReStore!

If you have any questions about junk that I didn’t cover…PLEASE ASK!  I love your comments.  Don’t be shy about calling it “junk” either.  To a true junker…that is a loving word.

Don’t let Monday get you down, Dirt Roaders.  Take time to breathe deep and think about the good things.  God loves you.  It’s true.  I promise.
