Well, I finally bought myself a pre-made cork board,
I brought it home painted the sides a dark bronze color with a bit of metallic!
Then I bought a pretty metal flower for the top center to add a bit of color!
The color of the flower went well with my yellow, wild Mediterranean colors!
I placed this just under my calendar and I now have a little message area!
I was going to make up my own board, but after finding this one,
Already with the cork and a chalkboard!
Less work and all I needed was a small bottle of craft paint and a metal flower...
Ta- Daaa!
Okay, this is what I have been thinking about!
This is about the time of year when you get a bit weary with what to
Prepare for dinner...
So if you want Chic and Easy for a Dinner idea;
It is so tasty and very satisfying!
Try Roasted vegetables in the oven;
Wash your choice of vegetables, then just slice them in the same size
Try using some
Potatoes, regular and a sweet and some cauliflower,
Add those root veggies you like
Some squash like butternut, Brussel sprouts.
Eggplant...
Check below for your suggestions to roast!
Check below for your suggestions to roast!
Drizzle with olive oil, add whole sprigs of rosemary herb,
Cover with some foil for a little while, 20 minutes or so,
Bake in a 350 degree oven till a fork goes into them and they are tender!
You can sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on them
After they cook through completely and you are ready to serve them!
Sometimes we just need a small project that is affordable and yet is very useful!
Being able to jazz up something plain-jane
May we all see our kitchens as a place to be a blessing and nutritious too!
What are some veggies that you think would work well in this
Roasted Veggies Dinner?

Thank you for your input Ladies!
Love your message board Roxy! It turned out really cute. We love roasted veggies. Asparagus is a favorite here, but we will eat almost any vegetable. Broccoli is really good roasted too. Have a lovely Friday.

Love you jazzed up message center, Roxy. That works out perfectly.
ReplyDeleteRoasted veggies sound good to me! I have done a lot of comfort foods this winter. xo Diana
What a sweet message board, dear Roxy! Such a charming way to share a little love and a few smiles with others and perfect to write a bit of inspiration or encouragement for oneself...:). And how I love roasted veggies!!
ReplyDeleteHmmm...those veggies look so delicious!
Sometimes I add two or three whole garlic cloves which give the dish an amazing flavour... Hope you're having a delightful week thus far! Hugs and much love! Kelly
I love the metal flower on the board Roxy. Nice touch! Also some bell peppers would be tasty in your dish. They won't amount to much but do add flavor ;)
ReplyDeleteI do like that cork message board. That gives me inspiration. All my notes etc go on the fridge with magnets. Your idea is so cute!
ReplyDeleteHi Roxy, sometimes it's nice to just add a little touch to things instead of jumping in to a big project. The little flower dressed it up nicely. I love winter squash, but hubby doesn't. Still, I cook a piece now and then for me. I do oven roasted veggies, with sweet potatoes, beets, carrots, red potatoes, even onions and parsnips now and then. Anything is just delicious!

Hi Roxy, love your jazzed up message board. I too love roasted veggies and I would probably add baby bella mushrooms to mine.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration.
Now you made me hungry!!
Hugs and Blessings, CM
I do think you did an amazing job on your cork board. It just made that one lonely wall POP!
ReplyDeleteI like almost any veggie roasted, but I would say my favorites are asparagus,green beans with a little bacon and garlic roasted taters. Yum!
I hope you are staying warm and cozy!
Hugs,
Amy
I like your message board! I still have a Blue Hubbard Squash that really does need to be used. I've been thinking so for weeks!
ReplyDeleteI bought a lovely blackboard to write messages on, its pretty and adds something extra in the kitchen. Plus its useful too!!
ReplyDeleteI have a spot in my kitchen that I was thinking this weekend needed to change. Now I'm inspired! Wonderful idea Roxy... and the roasted veggies sound perfect for cold dreary weather!
ReplyDeleteI love your cork board message board. I was just thinking of trying to find one as well. I am wanting another chalk board like I had in Colorado, so I can write scriptures on it; and notes of what ever is happening or grocery lists. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteLove ya,
Pam
