43. Clean out office closet

I have wanted to clean out my office closet for awhile now. Today my husband has spent his whole Sunday working so I figured I might as well do something productive. I decided to tackle the office closet. Here are two before pictures and one after picture.

Before:



After:


Part of me wants something other than boxes and a blue crate on the top shelf and more of the white scrapbook units but I was trying to not spend $$.

May Update!!! #2, 42, 75

I've really been trying to work on #2. Try 30 new recipes so far I have completed 6 out of the 30.

Here's what I've made:

I made chocolate lava cakes. The recipe is from Ghirardelli Chocolate; http://www.ghirardelli.com/bake/recipe.aspx?id=1085

They were excellent and even reheated well in the microwave.

The chicken piccata recipe is from the Pioneer Woman: http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2010/03/monday-night-dinner-my-chicken-piccata/
I would make the chicken piccata again but change the sauce a little. It was not thick enough.

Rotini and Sweet Pepper Primavera from the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook:
Forgot to take a picture when I finished this dish. It did have alfredo sauce on it. Great easy meal and reheats well.

Lentil and Veggie Tostadas also from the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook:
Yummy but we are going to try black beans instead of lentils next time.
Blueberry muffins (March update) and banana bread (no picture)

42. Start a garden. We have planted 3 of our 5 raised beds!!

Herbs
Veggies

75. Go to a Padres game with friends. We went to a Padres game with Colette and Shawn. We had the best seats in the Omni Premier Club Section!!!
