Easy Bruschetta Chicken

September 30, 2020      Leave a Comment

Let’s be friends! Connect with me on Facebook, Instagramand Pinterest!

Here I am again, with another rock-your-world recipe! I made this one up somewhat on the fly the other week and it was an instant hit! Bruschetta is one of our favorite appetizers when we go out, so I figured “why not make it the main course?!” 

Because this one goes from stove top to oven, I definitely recommend a Cast Iron Skillet if you have one! Otherwise, you can do a normal skillet and a baking dish! I can tell this will be a regular in the meal rotation around here, and I hope that you love it too.

Easy Bruschetta Chicken

  • Servings: 4-5
  • Time: 30 mins
  • Difficulty: easy
  • Print

Ingredients:

  • 1-1.5lbs chicken breast, cubed
  • 1 TBSP Olive Oil
  • 3 tsp (or however much you like!) of minced garlic
  • 6-7 Roma tomatoes, diced (not too small!)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 5 oz container of Feta Cheese crumbles
  • 3 TBSP balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil to taste (I use a LOT), cut into strips with kitchen shears
Directions:
  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Heat your olive oil in your skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and most of the way cooked through. 
  3. Add in minced garlic and cook until fragrant (1-2 minutes) stirring constantly so that it won’t burn. Remove from heat.
  4. Stir in tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Drizzle balsamic over the top and place in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
  5. Remove from the oven and top with feta cheese and shredded basil leaves. 
  6. Serve immediately! We like to eat it with a side of Uncle Ben’s wild rice! It would also be good with some angel hair pasta! Or even by itself, if you are low-carb. 🙂

A Chocolate Cake with Buttercream Flowers

September 28, 2020      Leave a Comment

Just over here DROOLING over the way that this cake came out! I have never done a chocolate buttercream cake with florals on it, but I think it will be a new thing around here! I love the brown backdrop and the way that the flowers absolutely pop right off of it! 

I totally think the blue and purple flower combination is completely overlooked, too! I mean the two colors play off of each other so well. So thankful for the opportunity to have a little fun stretching my creativity!

A Pink and Lavender Floral Mobile for a Sweet Girl Nursery

September 22, 2020      2 Comments

I made one of these mobiles for Addilyn’s nursery before she was born, and I was instantly hooked! Ever since then, I have loved making them for clients through my Etsy shop! Most of the time, people ask me to duplicate Addie’s, which is easy peasy.

This particular one, the client was doing a flamingo themed nursery and asked me to match a gorgeous floral pink and lavender flamingo print. I absolutely love this color combo and the fact that this was perfectly customized for her sweet baby girl! 

And hey, if you want this exact mobile, or a custom colored one, go HERE and I will hook you up!

A Fun Floral “Just Because” Cake!

September 20, 2020      Leave a Comment

The other day, I had some leftover blush buttercream from a wedding cupcake order and the strong urge to play around with some fall looking florals. I threw it out there and had a friend that wanted a “just because” cake for a family dinner, and she gave me total creative liberty. Those are my ABSOLUTE favorite kind of cake orders because I can just go with the flow.

To say I am happy with how this one turned out is an understatement! I down right love it! Scroll on to see all of the details. This one could easily be a wedding cake or a fancy birthday cake. I hope it inspires you!

The Easiest Homemade Pancake Syrup

September 10, 2020      Leave a Comment

Is there much worse than making up a batch of pancakes, only to look in the pantry and realize you are out of syrup? And is there much more delicious than warm, homemade syrup on hot pancakes or waffles? This past weekend, we made pancakes on our Blackstone griddle (love! love! love!) and I ran into this exact situation.

Thankfully, I remembered that I had learned how to make home made syrup years ago and decided to give it a go again. I’m going to set the people free and teach you how to do it too, just in case you ever have this happen! Or just want to treat your family to fresh, hot syrup.

Here’s the thing. You can make this basic and delicious syrup with things that you probably have in your house right now. But with a little planning, you can do the maple variety for that authentic maple taste! Either way, it turns out delicious and your family will sing your praises.

Easy Homemade Pancake Syrup

  • Servings: 10-12
  • Time: 5 mins
  • Difficulty: super easy
  • Print

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 stick of butter
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla OR maple extract

Directions:

  1. Stir together the sugar and water in a small saucepan. Heat to a rolling boil.
  2. Once boiling, reduce the heat just enough to allow it to simmer for 3-4 minutes, until the sugar is fully dissolved and it has thickened a bit.
  3. Add in your butter and warm until melted.
  4. Add the extract and stir well. 
  5. Pour over pancakes and enjoy! Store leftovers in the refrigerator tightly covered for up to a month. You can simply reheat in the microwave when you are ready to use it!

Boho Rainbow Sugar Cookies

September 4, 2020      Leave a Comment

Let’s be friends! Connect with me on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest!

This little set is something I’ve been dreaming up for a while and finally took the time to make this week!! First of all, obsessed with the #bohorainbow trend!!! But also I’ve been wanting to make a set with positive affirmations, because we all could use some uplifting!!!
 

The rainbows are painted with edible watercolor paint and a food brush. Details are done with a Bakerpan food pen!

The girls very well may wind up with a Boho Rainbow birthday party in March. I had way too much fun with these!

I made these “just because” I wanted to play with the theme some. I love the idea of putting positive affirmations, scripture, encouragement, etc on them and gifting them to a friend going through a hard time, or to a young girl to remind her who she is! 

This set just reaffirmed my love for my Hexagon cookie cutter, too! New favorite set!!

We are officially a household that will NOT be sho We are officially a household that will NOT be shopping with Target anymore! 🚫 If you know me and my deep love of Target 🎯, this is a hard one for me. And I’m not usually a “stop shopping places” kind of person. (See the video I posted earlier, among other things) It takes a lot for me.

I am so frustrated at the kind of madness my kids are growing up in. The buck has to stop here. I will show them what is right and wrong, not these companies supporting such horrible things. I mean if partnering with Satanists and selling “tuck friendly” clothing to toddlers isn’t just going too far then I’m not sure what is.

Just think about this: why are you buying your household essentials from a company that supports satanic groups?? If they are openly doing this, can you imagine what they are hiding in your every day products?? 😳😳😳 Over this last few months I’ve learned more about all of this and it’s scary how many harmful things are “allowed” on their shelves!

I’ve found a better way to shop—a healthier way! and with a company that supports and upholds the highest values! We are switching almost all of our household essentials & next month, even pasture-raised, hormone-free beef 🥩 from them!

Thank you to The Wellness Store for giving me and my family a truly safe and wholesome place to shop! 🌱 It’s a company worth talking about…which is why I can’t stop! I care way too much about those of you who have trusted my opinion enough to follow me!!
I want to speak to the ladies who strive to be a P I want to speak to the ladies who strive to be a Proverbs 31 woman for just a second! If you’re new here, you can expect to see a lot of life with my kids! Spending my days with them is my greatest joy (but dang, it can be hard sometimes! Other #stayathomemoms feel me?!). I am teaching them through hands-on experiences. Less screen time, more outside time. To start their day in God’s word and prayer. The work we do here matters, moms.
I am my husband‘s biggest cheerleader and supporter! You won’t see any feminism or wokeness here. When he wins, I win. I’ll do just about anything to help him succeed! There ain’t nothing wrong with that, ladies. In fact it’s our job as wives. Own it 💪🏻
While we’re talking about it, being a stay at home mom does not mean that you can’t bring in income! Even if it’s just a little here, or a little there it can make a huge difference. And it doesn’t have to mean time away from your children! I’m happy to share what I do to anyone interested 🤍(and yes, there are multiple avenues!).
It’s also my job as a homemaker to be the gatekeeper for what comes into our home and goes into and on our bodies. I’m all about simple, delicious meals that I can feel good about feeding my family. I’m also all about low-tox living! Do a deep dive into the chemicals in your home and you will be too! You can always find clean swaps in my stories and highlights! 🌱 

If any of that resonates with you, stick around! I’m glad you’re here🤍

We may have already posted these on @michaelleerea We may have already posted these on @michaelleerealty , but I just need to share how dang proud I am of our guy on this one, and how happy we are for our clients! This RV park sale had so many ups and downs, and Michael worked so hard to take care of his people and bring their dream to reality. He never gave up and we are so excited to watch their new business thrive! If you’re looking to stay near Lake Toxaway this summer, make sure you check out Blue Ridge Falls RV & Glamping resort! And if you’re looking to buy an RV park, our guy is now very experienced!

If a child creates something for you, you should t If a child creates something for you, you should treat it like the most spectacular masterpiece  you have ever seen. Because when you do, something magical happens. You create in them an overwhelming feeling of confidence. You reinforce the joy of giving and serving others. You fill their cup with value. You encourage them to grow and experiment and make new things. You literally, truly shape their heart. So when a child makes you something, please cherish it. 🤍

“But I don’t order that many cleaning products “But I don’t order that many cleaning products every month.”

This is the most common thing I hear about The Wellness Box! Let me go ahead and debunk that for you. Neither do I! That would be crazy, considering we live in a tiny home. 😅

I definitely don’t order that many cleaning products each month, especially when these are so concentrated that they last forever. But I do order this AMAZING coffee (no mold or toxins!). Baby wipes, deodorant, toothpaste, dish soap, protein bars and shakes, nutritional shakes for our kids, vitamins and supplements, basic health care items such as ibuprofen and Tylenol. Gatorade replacements and emergency-c replacements without all of the sugar. I order sunscreen and bug spray (all natural ingredients! 🙌🏻). I order shampoo and conditioner (salon quality) and high-end, clean make up at a fraction of the price! Shopping with The Wellness Store is not just a cleaning products subscription. It’s a way to replace money I’m already spending somewhere else, from a non-woke, patriot owned company. It’s a way to save money on products I’m already using, plus it’s dropped off at my doorstep instead of having to haul my kids into the store! And if there’s ever a month where I truly don’t need anything (that hasn’t happened yet!) I can just skip! 😍 

You can even add a subscription to get grass-fed, hormone free, pasture raised beef shipped to you! 

I hope that helps to clear the air at any confusion 🤍🤍
