Sink Skirt and a Recipe

 

Hey friends! I sure hope you are doing great!

It feels like fall here in Louisiana, finally…so

we enjoyed roasting marshmallows around a bonfire today :)

I thought, just for fun, I would share my burlap sink skirt with you.

It’s just a coffee bean burlap sack cut to fit over

the opening.

If you have been around awhile, you may remember

our recent kitchen remodel HERE.

 

 

I was using an antique grainsack as the sink skirt…

however, for Fall I wanted a little warmer look.

So, I put the burlap skirt back on.

And because I love changing things often, having the

cabinet left open under our sink gives me several options.

I just have a simple spring-rod in place…and I can

switch out different fabrics for different seasons.

Can you believe our basil is still growing strong in our garden?

I like keeping some near the sink for salads and cooking.

Not to mention the aroma :)

This is how our kitchen looks most of the time, if

I’m not cooking a meal. Just plain and simple.

Speaking of cooking…

I made up my own chicken salad recipe!

Can you believe it? I can’t either.

I am calling it my “Rustic Chicken Salad”

(I don’t why, I just like the word rustic :)

 Here’s the recipe, in case you want to try it:

6 organic chicken breast fillets, boiled & shredded

2 hard boiled fresh chicken eggs, boiled & chopped

2 small dill pickles, chopped

2 sweet baby whole pickles, chopped

1/2 jalapeno pepper, chopped

3 slices peppered-bacon, fried crispy & chopped

8-10 black seedless grapes, chopped

1/2 cup or more mayo

2 or 3 tablespoons spicy mustard

salt & pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients together and enjoy on wheat bread,

with chips & crackers, or on a bed of greens.

I added fresh baby spinach & tomato to my sandwich.

(You could add or delete whatever you choose to

make this recipe your own)

Celery, pears, apples…but of course,

I think the bacon made this delicious :)

And before I’m off…let me ask if you are enrolled in

the Creatively Made Home E-Course?

The first week has been very inspirational! Go check it out!

Thanks for visiting me today :)

Have a lovely week!

Blessings,
