Johnette's Cornbread Salad

I taught second grade with a lovely lady
named Johnette Knudson.

She invited our team to her cozy and welcoming home 
and served cornbread salad.
Everyone brought something to eat but the 
cornbread salad was the star of the meal to me!

I want to share the recipe for this yummy salad
with you.

Begin by making a recipe of regular 
cornbread.

I use the little box mix.  

Sometimes I add a can 
of whole kernel corn....
or chopped pimentos....
or some chunky salsa.....
or chopped cilantro and onions.

But for this recipe just use a 
plain ol' recipe of cornbread!

Bake it and let it cool off.

Crumble it into a mixing bowl.



Chop up 3 large roma tomatoes.....



......and half a large red onion.
Yellow or white onions are fine, but I 
like the added color.


Add these chopped items to the crumbled 
cornbread.



Stir, stir, stir.



Now add about half a cup of mayonnaise.


Stir, stir again!


Add in a cup of shredded cheese....
I use colby jack cheese but use the cheese you 
like best!

You can also add some chopped, cooked bacon.


Stir, stir.....and then add salt and pepper 
to taste.


Tah Dah!

Your cornbread salad is ready to eat!

Eating this recipe is my favorite part, Glitterinas!

For this meal I served cornbread salad
with chicken salad.

Double yum!


Add your favorite crackers and a drink....
nice meal!


Store any leftover salad covered in 
the refrigerator.

It will be even better the second day!

Thank you so much for taking some time to let 
me share a yummy and easy recipe today.

I'm so glad you stopped by
Pink Glitter!

Leave me a comment and let me know if 
you've ever had cornbread salad....
is your recipe the same as this one?

I enjoy your comments!

You are the best, Glitterinas!


Hugs and glitter,
Tammy

Bunnies and Roses

I found the prettiest bunnies with 
rose head bands on a blog 
I enjoy reading.

Kerry Anne is the talented lady who draws and
shares her lovely animals.

Shabby Art Boutique is a great site,
pop over and check out all the "pretties" there.

How pretty is that bunny face?!

I printed out the four bunny faces and one rose,
and then I trimmed them up.


I decided to mount them on white doilies 
with small, round, crepe paper rosettes.

The round crepe paper rosettes can be used 
for many projects.....and they are quick to make.

Begin gathering and folding the crepe paper 
into a circle....


......fold and gather....


....I usually fold about 11-12 gathers 
to make a complete circle.

When the circle is complete, a 
staple in the center will hold it together.



Now, isn't that pretty?


Dots of hot glue hold each piece onto 
the next piece....

.....next I added the bunny.


How pretty!

Do you like these 
little bunny ornaments, Glitterinas?

One more touch.....


....a tiny, pink bow!



Here's a look at all the completed ornaments.


I'm not sure where these will live this 
Easter.

Should I hang them on the Easter tree
or make them into a banner?

What do you think, Glitterinas?



I'm so glad you took a moment to open this
post of Pink Glitter!  Thanks!


Until next time, you lovelies,
Tammy

Lucky!

St. Patrick's Day is approaching and 
our fireplace is just the place for a touch of green!

Thanks so much, Glitterinas, for taking time to open this 
post of 
Pink Glitter! 

I usually pin on a little shamrock 
(so I don't get pinched)
to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.....

....instead of decorating our house with green.

This year I made a banner with some 
green, shamrock shaped doilies.

I used silver stick on letters, too.





When I use a letter from the package,
I mark it off the list and 
this way I know what letters the 
package still contains.


These letters have a sticky backing but I also 
use a dot of hot glue to hold them.



L  U  C  K  Y


Well, that was simple!

I also had some white, shamrock doilies.....and I 
thought one of these on each end of the banner would look nice.

Each white doily needed something....


.......snip, snip with my fringing scissors.....



.....a green, crepe paper circle....



....topped off with a small, gingham bow.


One for each end of the banner.


Quick and easy!


Clipped up by the fireplace!


Are you going to make a fun, green banner 
for your house?

Leave me a comment and let me know.

I hope you have 
The Luck of the Irish 
on 
St. Patrick's Day, Glitterinas!


Until next time,
Tammy
