Easy Bruschetta Chicken

September 30, 2020 Leave a Comment

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

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:

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
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.
Add in minced garlic and cook until fragrant (1-2 minutes) stirring constantly so that it won’t burn. Remove from heat.
Stir in tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Drizzle balsamic over the top and place in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and top with feta cheese and shredded basil leaves.
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

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 Leave a Comment

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

Ingredients:

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

Directions:

Stir together the sugar and water in a small saucepan. Heat to a rolling boil.
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.
Add in your butter and warm until melted.
Add the extract and stir well.
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

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!
