Whether alone or with friends and family, a perfect time involves a delicious recipe. Apartment living at 98th Avenue requires an injection of creative cooking and dining to create a wholesome experience. Below are five easy recipes for a delicious picnic this season.

Easy Recipes to try in Your Kitchen

• Honey Garlic Glazed Salmon

This is a simple dish if you want to spice up your salmon. The garlic and honey inject more flavor into the fish. Glazing the salmon with honey creates a sticky coating on the salmon to intensify your dining experience further.

• Coconut Curry Salmon

Including coconut milk in your curry ingredient is an excellent way of taking your cooking to the next level without complicating the process. It thickens the sauce besides combines well with the rest of the spices.

• Shrimp Fried Rice

Don't throw away leftover rice. Instead, fry the rice to improve its aroma and ensure it stays fresh. Adding shrimp to the fry recreates the entire meal, and now you have a completely new dish.

• Air Fryer Pork Chops

Preparing pork chops with the air fryer makes your work easier. The Parmesan coating gives the dish an explosive taste.

• Garlicky Spaghetti

This is one of the most straightforward spring season recipes because you already have the required ingredients. The garlic taste is an easy way to spice up pasta.

Enjoying the Weather Outdoors

Armed with your prepared recipes, you need a serene place to have your picnic. The Volunteer Park, a walking distance away, is an excellent choice for exciting picnic ideas. You can sit down and enjoy the weather as the children play in the park. Alternatively, you might enjoy the Bothell Landing Park. It has amusement sections for children with swings and slides.

How to Prepare Delicious Picnic this Season

Once you have chosen your picnic spot, it's time to head outdoors. You will need a simple rolling mat to sit on to avoid getting grass stains on your clothes. Use a basket to carry the food. And don't forget to carry napkins. It gets messy sometimes.

Winter is here, which means that carols, snow, and decorations of all kinds are everywhere. You don't need to be a creative genius to decorate your 98th Avenue apartment; there are plenty of ways to bring a winter wonderland into your home. There are some appealing trending Christmas items you can purchase for your studio apartment, even if you can't fit a large tree.

No Christmas would be complete without a tree, and artificial trees are the preferred option for safety and easy cleanup. You can choose from a variety of gorgeous trees that will make your apartment look unique while also fitting in your space perfectly. To get even more green, consider draping live garlands around your curtains and doors. Just like having a real tree, this will fill your home with the scent of pine.

Decorations That Transition From Christmas & Into the New Year

With just a few tricks, you can make your apartment party-ready in no time. You can create the atmosphere of a memorable celebration by keeping your festive decoration through the New Year, and you can save a lot of time by just taking down the red decorations instead of taking down everything! Keep your silver and gold decorations up to capture the glamorous party spirit. For an extra flash of color, you can leave the garland up to contrast with the glitz and glam of the metals. Keeping some decorations up instead of buying new ones will save you enough money to treat yourself at The Cottage on NE 183rd Street, right here in Bothell.

A Checklist for Creating a Winter Wonderland In Your Apartment

• Get a beautiful artificial tree that fits into your space but doesn't take up a lot of room when it comes time to put it away.
• Live garland helps add some green to your apartment, and you can support local businesses, too.
• Find some tremendous sparkling lights to set the atmosphere.
• Find some cost-effective but fancy New Years' decorations. 

What to Keep in Mind For Holiday Decorations

Make sure the items you used to decorate take up the least amount of area possible. When packing for your apartment, keep in mind that items must fit into tight places. Choose decorations that will not stain or damage the walls or surfaces of your home.
