After seeing all the creative menu boards on Pinterest, I decided it would be fun to have one in our kitchen. However, I needed a tall, narrow version to fit the best spot for it, so I decided to go with a pin-up board. I made it out of cardboard, quilt batting, and fabric like the memo boards here, here, here, and here. The adorable fabric is left over from my “Mix Things Up Apron” and purchased from Laura at LC’s Cottage. (Click here for a post with links to her lovely shop!) Then I found a bit of khaki-colored knit from my polo shirt upcycle and embroidered the word “Menus” to affix to the top, finishing it off with a small length of ric-rac trim. Since I had everything on hand, the cost was $0 . . . my kind of project! š And the two recipes are perfect complements to your favorite enchiladas! The “Corn Bake” has been in my husband’s family for a long time, and the dip is from a magazine ad. I’ll write an easier-to-read copy below!Ā ā„
Salsa and Sour Cream Dip
- One 16-ounce jar of salsa
- One 16-ounce container of sour cream
- 1 envelope of taco seasoning mix
Combine all ingredients; mix well, and chill. Serve with tortilla chips.

So Cute!
Thank you! š
I’ll have to try your salsa and sour cream dip! Sounds delicious!
It is . . . and so easy, as you can see! š It’s great to put on the enchiladas, too! š
Love it and can’t wait to try those recipes:)
Yay! I hope you like them, Pam! š
I think I want to come to your house for dinner.
Come right on over!!! š
What a creative idea great for upgrading Memo Board, Bulletin Boards, etc. A great way for a new look in the kitchen. Very nice, and thank you for sharing Katherine. Be Blessed, Mtetar
Thank you, Mtetar! š
You’re Welcome, Katherine! Be Blessed, Mtetar
Sweet little memo board! And bonus recipes too! Thank you Katherine!
You’re very welcome, Laura! I just LOVE that fabric! š I have a couple more small pieces left, so I’m sure I’ll put them to good use! š
Salsa & sour cream dip sounds lovely!
It’s rather addictive! š
Looks cute! Also funny: I never heard of biscuit mix or creamed corn before! Never seen it in a Dutch supermarket! Learning new things every day, hahaha š
I wish I could come visit YOUR supermarket . . . I’d probably see some “new-to-me” items there, too! š
Pretty and practical-I love it! And great recipes too!
Thank you, Sarah! š
This is lovely! The best kind of projects are the ones that don’t cost you anything…plus they cut down your stash too!
I agree! I was really happy that I had the right size remnant for this since I LOVE the kitcheny print! š
It is lovely š it was obviously destined to become the menu board!
This is so cute and I can see it will be used a lot! Thanks for sharing another creative item. Enjoy your day! ~~Vickie
Thank you, Vickie! We’re having LOTS of company in June so I plan to post the menus and recipes to keep myself organized! š
very pretty Katherine, I love how colorful the fabric you choose is! perfect for a kitchen š your recipe sounds delicious!!!
Thank you, Ingrid! I DO love that fabric! š
Now, that’s an awesome menu (and the “board” aint bad, either!)! I/we love that dip!! The ‘Corn Bake’ would be a hit in my house…for sure! Thanks for the share!!!!!! Hugs, D
You’re very welcome! I hope you get a chance to try the corn bake . . . it always disappears rapidly around here! š
very cute…and another recipe…
I fixed the Coconut Pie for my Bunco Gals and it went over great!…thanks!
Oh, I’m so glad!!! Can you believe I’ve never played Bunco??? It’s on my bucket list! š
you could join us if you lived close…we’re a pretty loud bunch at times…
Where do you live??? (And loud is good!) š
Louisville, KY
southend…
Wichita, KS here . . . so no visits soon . . . but maybe someday! š
I had picked up you were in Kansas…
a little far …but, would be nice …
OK… this is so creative. It makes menu planning not only organized but also fun. Well done! ~Thea
Thank you, Thea! š
Cute idea! I’m not sure where I’d put up a menu board in my kitchen, though. I really don’t have a lot of wall space.
As for the recipes, that dip sounds delicious. š
Reading the list of ingredients for the corn bake, however, made my stomach twist a little. My mom ruined cream corn for me when she tried to make soup out of it by adding milk. It really turned my stomach and sitting at the table one noon-time made me late for school because mom wouldn’t let me go until I ate it. By that time it was cold and really revolting! I haven’t eaten it since! Perhaps mixed with the tomatoes and cheese, I might be able to push past the fact there is cream corn in it! lol
Yikes!!! Maybe you should just stick with the dip, dear friend! š
That is a great idea!!
Thank you! It’s fun seeing it hanging in my kitchen now! š
Ha! I need to make myself one!! I really loves the one in binder with colorful post-it notes š someday… I’ll have time… *sigh!
I know! There are so MANY wonderful ways to do this! But I’m sure your family is quite well-fed without it, Josee! š
aha! with big appetites as my kids have I do hope so!!! š just sometimes i wish i could just flick a wand and dinner will be yummy and served with me doing nothing… ah! someone can wish right?!
I love your embroidered letters! I remember thinking that when we got the Bag O’ Bunnies too. š
š
I love this idea! And thanks for the recipe! Will have to give it a try! Nice post!
Thank you! We’re having LOTS of company in June so it will be nice to post the menus for everyone and have the recipes handy! š
I need one of these! So cute! š
~Jen
Thank you, Jen! I’m loving it! š
