Fun Find Friday

Hello and happy Friday beauties!

I know I have been a bad bloggie friend for not updating in days weeks but here is what my life has consisted of lately- work, sleep, work, sleep, work, sleep (repeat).

I know, I know, I'm still a MAJOR slacker, but that just means that I am back with more exciting posts, right? (Just go with it.)

So this week's Fun Find Friday is a little different (okay, a lot). It's not a cute bag, or a fab accessory or the latest makeup must-have. But it is something equally as exciting!

I hope everyone is sitting down, cuz this is MAJOR.

Wait. For. It:

This week's fun find are a couple RECIPES!

(please stop laughing)

Yes, I've been COOKING.WITH FOOD. AND UTENSILS. And I am still here to talk about it!

(waits for applause to subside)

I know you are excited and I can't wait to share these recipes with you all. Because let's face it, if I can make it and it turns out delish, so can a small child you!

So here they are:

1 (15 ounce) can of corn
1 (15 ounce) jar of salsa (we used Medium)
1 (8 ounce) package of cream cheese

Directions
Take your frozen, boneless chicken breasts and put them in the crock pot.
Add 1 can of black beans, drained, 1 jar of salsa, 1 can of corn drained.
Cook on medium for about 6-7 hours or until chicken is cooked.
Add 1 package of cream cheese (just throw it on top!) and let sit for about 1/2 hour.
*We shred the chicken after it's all done, and eat this in a wrap with a little sour cream! It's delish!

So, Viola! Just call me Julia Childs. I <3> my crock pot!

Happy Friday! Have a great weekend, everyone!

Get the party started!

Football fan or not, Super Bowl Sunday is a great reason to throw a fab party! I have always looked at the Super Bowl as the perfect excuse to invite our friends over for a little fun on an otherwise lazy Sunday! Plus, with wings, dips, cupcakes and super cute décor on the menu, who wouldn’t want to come over, right?

Here is what hubs and I are planning so far. We make a great team, if I do have to say so myself ;)

Mmmmm, you cannot have a superbowl party without these!


And these yummies


And decor is equally as important as food!

This is the perfect occasion to ditch the old linen table cloths and get creative!


And of course, I couldn't resist all the football themed paper plates and napkins!


We are definitely ready for some football! What's everyone else doing to "kick off" the big game?

Happy Thursday, everyone!

Call Me Martha

That’s it. February has been insanely busy and is almost over. Starting in March, I made a promise to myself that I would be getting back on track towards becoming a Superhuman Stepford Wife Culinary Wizard. In a sexy pink apron, of course.

So, I need your help. More specifically, I need good recipes! Could you share with me some of your domestic goddessness and tell me your favorite?

Any comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. You all rock!

(p.s. My husband thanks you in advance.)

So excited!

Two things this morning:

1.) My unhealthy obsession with damask continues… Hubby and I, I am considering redecorating our bedroom. Above is the look that we I absolutely adoreee and just must have! Don't you love it? The answer is yes.

However, husband thinks "it’s too expensive." We're dealing with completely different shopping habits than my own here. But, he is starting to slowly come around.

His exact words last night were, “I've learned I can't go wrong if I just let you decorate.”

Good man :)

2.) On another note, thank you so much to a fabulous blogger [and mommy-to-be!], Newlywed Stilettos, for introducing me on her blog. It totally made my day! :) If you found your way here from her wonderful blog, welcome and thanks for stopping by!

Hope everyone has a wonderful day :)

I have a big announcement to make.

I’m a DOMESTIC DIVA!

I have cooked dinner so far every day this week! I know it’s only Wednesday, but I am still going strong, thankyouverymuch. I have a meal in our crock-pot, as we speak. I didn't want to jinx it and make my announcement early, but I had to brag. Especially since one of my resolutions is to make dinner ONCE a week. I already beat that! Maybe I should bump that up to three times a week? But then again, I like low expectations. They are easy to live up to and I can stay motivated :)

On a side note, cooking is much more fun when you’re doing it in style. Check out my cute aprons that I received for my shower a few months ago. a.d.o.r.a.b.l.e.
