Good morning everyone!  Sorry it's been a while since I had a post.  Life gets busy busy sometimes (especially around Mother's Day)!

So this morning I came across this photo on HGTV's Facebook page and I absolutely loved it.  I love gardening and I just loved the use of the can's they reused and it got me thinking about recycling.  Personally, I try to recycle whenever possible, but I am far from perfect.  This picture definitely gave me a great idea, actually two great ideas.  First, what a great re-use of food cans and then my personal touch/suggestion is to let your kid(s), or yourself, decorate the cans.  You know how I love to include the kids in everything and my Daughter, she'll be 10 next month, is extremely artistically talented so this is right up her alley.

My other idea for recycling...reusing old pots and pans.  We all have those pots and pans that have seen their better days, so instead of just tossing them to the trash, drill a small hole or two in them for drainage, and plant those favorite herbs of yours into them.  If you have a larger skillet, plant 2 or 3 of your favorite herbs for easy access  while cooking.

Readers...have any other suggestions for us?  Post a comment below or at JBistro Style Food Blog to share!  I love new ideas and encourage you to share them with everyone!
