I like the idea of Inspiration Monday.
Monday’s often get the short end of the stick
But they are fraught with potential!

Not only do I love Suzanne’s beautiful Ruffled Dropcloth Wreath
But I love the Spring Wreath that inspired her!
Mary Sullivan Frasier at Go Ahead…Take A Bite!
Project: Pork Chops Pizziola
Have you ever wondered if there’s any truth to the old adage
“The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach”?
Prince Charming – our recipe picker for the week – says yes!
He fell head over heels for Mary’s Pork Chops Pizziola recipe,
Saying, “It has all of the makings for a fabulous dish!”
Well done Mary – Prince Charming does not dole out praise lightly!
Adrienne at Happy Hour Projects

If you love books and unique, one-of-a-kind jewelry
Be sure to share your passions with the world
By making your own Book Page Bracelet
Following Adrienne’s instructions!
Kaylee at Couponing And Cooking

Cupcakes – Yum!

Combine the two and what do you get?

I don’t think my SO loves me for my cooking, but he definitely benefits. He eats like a king, because I love to cook, and I like to eat great food. I have no problem spending money on food, but material things -yes. Except for plants. I would say I spend more money on my garden every year than I spend on myself in three years. Yup…Do you see a psycho pattern of some kind here? lol Just teasing. Let’s see if I can think up something inspiring and link up. Hope you have a great Monday.

Gosh! Thanks Ramona! & Thanks to Mr. Ramona too! I’m so glad that your hubby thought my Pizziola looked like a keeper. If you do try it, please let me know if it lives up to the pictures. LOL I brought a quick and easy comfort food recipe this week. I suppose you could call it Tuna Casserole with a twist. :~) Thanks again for the feature and thanks, as always, for hosting such a lovely party! ~Mary
