Come On Over

My Blog has moved!

Happy Mother's Day

Mother's Day is this Sunday so that means I need to shop this weekend!  My mom has made the request of cute PJ's.  I have to say it is much more fun to lay around is cute PJ's with a big cup of coffee or to stay up late catching your favorite guilty pleasure in something comfy.  I am just mad about all of these PJ's.

So comfy!  Sometimes you need something loose. Ellen Tracy "After Eight" Crop PJ's

On Repeat

These two items have been on repeat lately....meaning I have loved wearing them.  I wear them to work, on the weekend and everything in between.  I am just mad about this shirt and these shoes.

This J.Crew shirt looks classic yet reflaxed.  I have worn it with black bermuda shorts, khakis, and gray pencil chinos.  White jeans will be the next pairing. 

The Easter bunny was very generous with his basket.  These shoes are the perfect tan color and so comfortable.  I can teach all day in them.  Tory Burch got it right with the rubber sole.

Fashion Favorites

I have been spending lots of time shopping the past two weeks in search of fabulous spring outfits for showers, parties and honeymoon.  I am just mad about Kate Spade clothing, jewelry and shoes.  Some of her pieces are a little pricey so I would look for something that can be worn in multiple settings.   

I am so in love with this skirt. 

I think these earrings are the perfect everyday earring.  Sometimes a girl needs to change it up from pearls. 

Rodeo Time

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is one of the best parts of Houston.  The city changes for those 3 special weeks.  Stores windows, restaurants and displays showcase the rodeo spirit.  On Monday we saw Lady Antebellum and they were amazing.  I made a turkey chili before the show and off we went for a fun night at the rodeo.  I am just mad about all things rodeo. 

Yummy Cookies!

It's Cookie Time

If you know anything about me, you know I have a sweet tooth!  I think I bake cookies three times a week...no lie!  After trying multiple chocolate chip recipes for the past month I decided I needed to change it up.

Luckily my Martha came through.  I get FOOD magazine each month and this recipe came from there.  I am just mad about these EASY chocolate chip peanut butter cookies from Emeril.

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla.

Preheat 350.  Stir with a wooden spoon (yeah no mixer or flour mess!).  Make large balls, use fork and press dough in two directions.  Bake for 12 minutes.  

Better Late Than Never

This past Valentine's weekends ranks up there for me.  I got to go visit and stay with my best friend, Ashley, in Dallas and catch up with some of my favorite girls.  It was relaxing and such a nice change of pace.  One of our Saturday activities consisted of making these fun treats for our friends.

We started with the basic super moist box mix and added mini chocolate chips to the batter, and then topped the chocolate cupcakes off with homemade buttercream icing.  Delish! We then decorated, tied them up, and started the deliveries.  I am just mad about fabulous friends.

So Fun!

That's What I Love About Sunday

I just love Sundays.  I am just mad about the book, The Rest Of God Restoring Your Soul By Restoring Sabbath by Mark Buchanan.  This book reminds us all to take it easy on Sundays.  I highly recommend it!

If only we could do it as well as my two favorite guys....

Taking A Break

I am so guilty of wearing my contacts longer than I should.  Last week I wanted to give my eyes a break and switch to my glasses, but after frantic searching my apartment, they were not found, and my poor eyes took on another day.  I am just mad about these cute frames...I think I would switch to glasses more often when I can wear these to work.

Spring Fever

I am getting spring fashion fever so bad.  My next few posts are going to be devoted to all the fashions that I am just mad about.

As usual, my girl Tory knows how to make me happy.  How fabulous is this nude neutral?

Cold Nights

If you are like me than you love Mexican food, and cringe at the calories.  Not to fear, Hungry Girl has created a fabulous Whole Enchilada Chicken Soup.  It is so easy to make and perfect for a cold night.  I am just mad about this soup!

Ingredients:
3 cups fat free chicken broth
1 1/4 cups finely chopped celery
1/2 cup diced sweet yellow onion
3 cups green enchilada sauce
1 (15 oz) can pure pumpkin
10 oz. cooked chicken breast (I poached my chicken the day before)
1 cup frozen corn (I used the whole bag)

Top with cheese (I used the mexican blend cheese)

In a large pot bring the broth to a boil, add celery and onions and simmer for 5 minutes.  Stir in enchilada sauce and pumpkin.  Once the soup returns to a low boil add chicken and corn and mix well.  Cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Makes 9 cups

Good Investment

These have been around a while, I know.  I adore uggs (probably more than a 26 year old should).  They are so comfy and I find myself slipping them on all winter long.  My current favorite is the pair shown below.  I cook in them, watch tv in them and take the dog out in them.  I wear the slippers much more than I thought and I am just mad about the way my feet feel in them.  These uggs are the perfect ending to any night out!
