The Hannah tassel necklace

I just snagged this little beauty.  It has been out of stock the past few times I've attempted to order it.  I highly recommend this site for jewelry if there is anyone in need of a few new Spring pieces.   I've said it before, but their customer service is the best!

DIY Peony painting

If you'd like some Springy art for your space check out this painting tutorial by Evelyn Henson. 

I am in love with her painting style and just recently bought this print from her Bar cart mantra collection. I saw on her instagram she just started offering painting classes which I would be overjoyed to take if I lived in the same area! Her art is just so bright, fun and happy.  There are really great pieces for those looking to start a gallery wall.

DIY Campaign dresser 

I've been swooning over the campaign dressers all over pinterest and would really love to DIY my own version to use as a tv stand.  I am planning on fusing two of them together somehow.  The problem is I am extremely indecisive and I'm going to have trouble choosing a color.   

Here are the contenders...

 

 

Any suggestions are welcome! I would love to hear your opinions.

This is the wall color in our living room

There is the option to make this drink dairy free which I love and I am determined to make my own vanilla bean version.  I just recently baked vanilla bean cupcakes and they were out of this world.

Pretty Fruit Salad!

Clean your Fruit!

Fill your sink with warm water and a 1/4 cup of vinegar. Soak fruit for ten minutes.

Allow to dry on paper towels.(I saw this on pinterest and it works really well)

 

Peel and chop your fruit.  Soak your apples in lemon juice.(To keep from turning brown)

Add a TBS of sugar and some sparkling apple juice.

I used 2 granny smith apples, 2 kiwis, a Mango, Strawberries, and Raspberries.

Teriyaki Vegetable Stir Fry for Two

I love stir frys and this is a really easy recipe for lunch or a quick dinner.

You can make it to serve two, or save the other half for lunch the following day.

Ingredients

Uncle Bens Ready Rice Teriyaki Style

Coconut or Peanut Oil

Minced Garlic

5 cups vegetables

Teriyaki Sauce(I use Mr Yoshidas Original Gourmet,  It is the best)

I have tried a lot store bought teriyaki sauces and nothing compares.  I don't know of any grocery stores that carry it in my area, so I buy mine on Amazon in a 63 ounce container and that way I don't ever run out.  I believe you can buy it at Costco also

Instructions

Heat 2 TBS coconut or peanut oil in a pan.

Add a tsp minced garlic.(I like to use the pre minced that you buy in a jar when I make this, because it is faster and you don't have to get it on your hands.

Heat the Vegetables in the oil over med high heat for about 6 or 7 minutes or until crisp tender.

I used a mix of zucchini, sweet onion, carrots, broccoli, and sugar snap peas. 

Pour about an 1/8 Cup of Teriyaki sauce over the vegetables and heat through.

Follow package directions to prepare rice(I did it in a skillet as opposed to the microwave)

Serve a cup of rice one each plate and spoon half of the vegetables over top of the rice. 

Enjoy

Buffalo Chicken Salad

My Favorite Salad!

Buffalo chicken salad is one of my favorites to make because its easy, fast and full of flavor.

Ingredients

Chicken Strips or Grilled chicken if you prefer

(I like to use Perdues found in the refridgerated section)

Franks Red Hot Sauce

Olive oil or Butter

Iceberg Lettuce

Sweet Onion

Small Tomato

Cheddar Cheese(shredded)

Ranch Dressing

Instructions

Heat about a Tablespoon of Franks Red hot in a pan along with about a 1/2 TBS of oil or butter.  Cook the chicken until lightly browned on each side(the chicken I buy is already fully cooked) then set aside on a chopping board.  Chop the chicken into smaller pieces.

Assemble the salad with the lettuce, a little bit of chopped onion, and some chopped tomato.

Put the chicken on top.  Sprinkle a little cheddar cheese on top.  Then add Ranch dressing if desired. 

If you want to keep things a little lighter you can opt to use grilled chicken strips ,or even skip the dressing.  The salad will still have plenty of flavor from the chicken tomato and cheese.
