Bacon Wrapped Cranberry Schnitzel

One thing I love about my friend Joni May is her inventive savoury food!

This recipe is one she shared with me and it is sensational!

Savour the blend of tastes.

The thin pre-crumbed (available from the butcher or supermarket) succulent schnitzel meat and the cranberry.

The stuffing. (I used a dry premix in a packet brand)

Rolled together and secured by a bacon wrapping.

Oven Baked.

Left to rest.

Then slice and served warm with a salad of your choice.

.

You can make several adaptions to this recipe by adding chopped cashew nuts to the stuffing mix.

And if you love cream cheese, a layer of that over the cranberry jelly.

This recipe will serve two people.

Easy Cork Plant Labels

Are you like me, and always have a pot or more of fresh herbs growing in the kitchen?

There is nothing like having them directly on hand to add to your culinary dishes as you create.

That's great if you are a herb enthusiast because you will have a grasp on what herb is what.

But then again, you might have another cook or Chefs assistant in the house who doesn't!

These simple cork labels are the answer.

Just five minutes to make.

And the perfect solution to that 'What is this herb again?' question.

Currently, in my small kitchen, I have two herbs.

Because they are the ones I use the most in my savory cooking.

Parsley and thyme.

To make the labels I used Dollar Store Craft corks, and bamboo kitchen skewers.

(Total cost  - $4.50, with excess to create more 'Cork Plant Labels' if desired to put aside for other craft projects).

You will also need a fine-point black Sharpie pen.

Pot your plants using a high-quality indoor potting mix that contains added slow-release fertilizer.

Water pots and set aside.

Take your cork and write from the smaller end to the thicker end your herb name.

I find craft store corks are a lot harder than wine bottle cork, so pushing skewers into these is difficult.

So you will need a nail and a small hammer to make a pilot hole first.

Then push the wooden skewer into the hole.

And that is it.

Place into your pre-planted pots for cute and corky

'at a glance' herb labels for the inside kitchen garden.

You could even use these DIY cork plant labels in a greenhouse or glasshouse environment too.

BOLD BRIGHTS - Interior Art Print Ideas...

Castles In The Sky

Change up your decor with BOLD and BRIGHT art prints.

Angel Flowers

I love colour and the transformation it gives to an interior. 

If you do too, here are some ideas for wall art and tips on colour usage.

            Beauty Of The Rose

Bring in the focal colour into the room decor with a matching or pattern contrasting rug, throw or matching pillows.

Don't be scared of using texture.

A Moment In Time

If you are trying to create a specific mood in a room, colours in bold colours will set the tone and make a statement.

Fire Lily

If you fear using bold colours in the decor, mix colours that are complementary to each other.

Purple Pansy

The print images shown can be placed in a frame of your choice and printed from small to large in size via Fineart America.

Wings Of Angels

Or printed on a block-style canvas.

Like An Echo

Large size artwork suits large rooms.

Placing a large scale artwork on a wall in a smaller room may cause an 'overcrowded' look.

If you want to, create a gallery wall of various artworks, use a selection of smaller sized framed prints in contrasting colours and frames for the best effect.

You can choose a theme of subject matter for the collection such as oceanic, abstracts, flowers, landscapes, birds or animals.

Kingfisher & Rust

In a room that is quite neutral, you can introduce colour into the space with the art and also with accents in decor pieces.

When you update the room at a later date, all you need to do is change up the accessories.

A much cheaper option than changing the wall colour and furniture.
