A Keurig Coffee makeover...

I love my new Keurig Coffe Maker...

We bought it for ourselves for Christmas!

 

But the holders they make for the K-cups can be very pricey and quite frankly

 they don't hold many of the cups...

 

So I found this...

 

 It's a rotating spice rack!  Great solution right?

 I came across it at the Goodwilll...

It was missing the spice jars...which was perfect for me..

 

The K-cups fit perfectly...

and it holds 40 at one time!

 

I love it...

I am still considering painting it...maybe red...

but the wood is in great condition and it actually matches my kitchen cabinets...

 

What do you think???

 

Staying Cozy with my coffee,

Carrie



A tiny valentine creation....

Some days you just have to make a little

"Cottage Cutie"...

 ...to put a smile on your face!

Stay Cozy,

Carrie



Missing Mary...

Oh how I miss going to the mailbox to find my

"Home Companion" magazine

Just look at this February issue...complete with valentines...

...and of course a signature "Mary" paper doll! 



I am so happy to have my "collection" to browse through for

 ideas, inspiration and good old

 Mary Engelbreit frivolity!



You are loved and missed and always welcomed back...

sweet "Home Companion"! 

STAY COZY,

Carrie



Dress it Up...

Forget about the bottled dressings at the supermarket....

Making your own vinaigrette is so easy!

Just blend together...

3 parts olive oil ~ 2 parts vinegar ~ 1 part mustard (any flavor)

and add one of these extras:

1 part sriracha ~ 1 part grapefruit or pineapple juice ~ 1 chopped hard cooked egg

Voila!

Of course once you have the basics ~ go ahead and experiment!

It's healthier, it's cheaper and it tastes delicious!

And don't sweat over the fat in the olive oil...it is so good for you!

A salad a day keeps the "flu bugs" away!

Stay Well, Carrie
