Simple Garlic Honey Pork Chops

It occurred to me a couple of days ago that I haven’t posted a RECIPE for quite awhile. I’m not exactly sure why, but I figured it was time to remedy that!  We had these delicious pork chops Sunday afternoon and even though it turned out too chilly to eat them outdoors, they were thoroughly enjoyed indoors. I’ll just have to make them again soon so we can enjoy them al fresco as well, because this is a perfect summertime meal!

There are a couple of things I really LOVE about this recipe. First of all, I love a recipe that I almost always have all the ingredients on hand for, without having to make a special trip to the store!  This is one of those recipes.

How To Give A Room A Color Makeover Pt. 2 – The Big Reveal! Plus A Sherwin-Williams Giveaway!

What a difference a day AND a coat of paint can make! A little over two weeks ago, I told you a little bit about the basement apartment my son and daughter-in-law live in that needed a little home decor love. It was especially in need of a shot of COLOR to breathe some life into a very WHITE space.

With the help of the Sherwin-Williams ColorSnap® mobile app, Kaitlyn and Erik were able to find “the perfect yellow” they were hoping for to bring some “sunshine” into their sterile kitchen/dining area.

Organizing Your Essential Oils {Or Any Other Collection of Small Items}!

Someone asked me last week how I organized my essential oils and essential oils supplies. It was then I realized that I really DON’T organize them….until NOW! :-)  I wish I could remember who posed the question…because I owe that person a big THANK YOU for the motivation I needed to get my growing “Fragrant Pharmacy” in order.

My Favorite Cafe Rio Copycat Recipes!

WELCOME to “Save My Sanity Saturday” at One Good Thing By Jillee….where I attempt to avoid having a nervous breakdown by actually giving myself a day off from blogging once a week!

So pull up a snack and a beverage and sit back and enjoy an “oldie but goodie” from the One Good Thing By Jillee archives.

Friday was a CRAZY day around here! I won’t bore you with all the details…because none of it was really all that exciting…there was just a LOT of it!

DIY Self-Tanner Fail….A Cautionary Tale

I know you might find this hard to believe….but not every post I do for this blog turns out perfectly. :-)  Witness the great potato crash of August, 2011 and the hard boiled eggs disaster of January, 2012!

But most of the time, when I have a “fail”…I don’t waste your time and mine sharing it on the blog. I just move onto the next idea. For example, a few months ago I attempted to make my own version of gluten-free top ramen noodles for my son Kell because he used to LOVE to eat those pre-celiacs. I worked so long and hard on them…and they were AWFUL! :-( But I just chalked it up to experience, dried my tears, and moved on.
