  • 1. Where is your next trip/vacation? DH is still hoping we take a weekend trip somewhere for our anni, but since that's just a couple weeks away, not sure that will happen. Other than that, no idea.

    2. What are you looking forward to most about fall? I love when the leaves change, but not so much the cooler temps.

    3. Have you bought anything cute/fun lately? no Sad

    4.  Any good recipes to share? I found a yummy/easy reciepe for apple cider recently: put some fresh apple house apple juice in a mug, with a tiny pinch of cinnnamon and nutmeg (or allspice) and a shaving of real butter. Microwave until hot and stir to incorporate the spices and melted butter. Enjoy! The tiny bit of butter makes the cider so rich and delicious, but it's just a subtle hint in the drink, not to strong.

    5. Anything else? Um, I have a busy day today, so not sure how much I'll be on today.

  • 1. Where is your next trip/vacation? WDW the week after TG. I can't wait! I just called and made the final payment this morning. :)

    2. What are you looking forward to most about fall? cooler temps, digging out cute sweaters and tops that I can finally fit into and are the right season. I just hope they aren't too big by the time it's cool enough to wear them!

    3. Have you bought anything cute/fun lately? I do believe that two kittens count in the cute/fun dept.

    4.  Any good recipes to share? Easiest chicken ever: throw some boneless/skinless chicken breasts or strips into a dish, sprinkle Lowery's seasoning salt, pour some EVOO on top, throw it in the oven. Tada!

    5. Anything else? I only lost .6 lbs at my weigh-in last night, but I'm totally cool with it. I knew that last time's 8+ lbs was a "false low." I track it all and where I am now perfectly averages out to where it should be on my line graph.

    3. Have you bought anything cute/fun lately? a cute top from the loft last week for my birthday!

    4.  Any good recipes to share?

    Chicken Mojo Soup. Yum O. So simple.

    You buy a Mojo Chicken from Publix. Break it apart (leaving the skin on, that gives in flavor) put it in a big pot to make your broth. Let it sit for 30/45 minutes.  Take out the chicken, put on plate and shred. Add Goya Black Beans and Rice. Season with bay leaves, garlic salt/powder, add chicken back in. I let it cook for an hour or so more. Garnish with your favorite toppings, cilantro, tomatoes, and avocado.

    5. Anything else? TGIF!!

    1. Where is your next trip/vacation? We're going somewhere over Thanksgiving maybe the Bahamas? Not sure yet, the IL's are planning the trip.  We are also going to Durango, CO for Christmas.  DH and I are hoping to sneak away for a weekend alone in Atlanta sometime soon.

    2. What are you looking forward to most about fall? Fall is not my favorite time of year because it's such a busy time for us.  DH coaches soccer and my oldest girls plays on another team so we're constantly at the mercy of game schedules.  I do love that we get to visit with DH's family over the holiday's though.

    3. Have you bought anything cute/fun lately? I've bought the girls some cute fall clothes and I got myself a cute INC black sweater that I'm loving over a tank top.

    4.  Any good recipes to share? Orzo with Feta and Shrimp.  Toast 1 cup of orzo in a little butter/oil until fragrant and brown.  Pour in 1 can of diced tomatoes and about 1/4 cup of water or broth and juice of a lemon (or some lemon juice).  Cover and let simmer for about 10 minutes on low, uncover and top with shrimp.  Add a little more liquid if it's too dry.  Cover and cook until shrimp are pink and cooked through out.  I throw in a handful of fresh herbs or spinach if I have any on hand.

    5. Anything else? Laundry consumes.my.life.
