I don’t know why Revolve Clothing models are always dead in the eyes.

does she not look seriously high? why is that appealing for selling clothing??

I seriously want every single on of these.

I’m now pissed at myself for doing this post instead of Wedding Wednesday.

but it really does……

Lifestyle, recipe

crack of the week: crockpot shredded chicken

March 4, 2014

we broke out the slow cooker on sunday and I am soooo glad we did.

taco night was a weekly tradition, but we have been eating a bit healthier around here, so it hasn’t been as frequent.

we made shredded chicken tacos, and had enough chicken leftover to top off our salads last night and also to put into a whole wheat wrap for lunch at work today.

I am not joking at all when I say, it. is. so. good.

This recipe is as easy as it gets + healthy too.

winner winner chicken dinner

(ha. see what I did there? this is why Andy Cohen is my imaginary best friend.)

Shredded Crock Pot Chicken

adapted from tatertots and jello

4 chicken breasts (frozen or fresh)

1 can of salsa (16 oz.)

1 can of sweet corn (drained)

2tsp. Mrs. Dash Fiesta Lime Seasoning **we didn’t have this on hand so left it out**

4 limes — 2 limes, freshly squeezed and 2 more for garnishing

**soooo just 2 limes, because my food photography is so beautiful it needs no garnish. duh**

1 can Green Chilis (4.5 ounces)

Place chicken in the crock pot on high, combine the other ingredients and pour over the chicken.

Cook on high 6-7 hours if the chicken breasts are frozen, 4-5 hours if the chicken breasts are fresh.

About an hour before serving, shred the chicken with two forks in the crockpot.

For chicken tacos, serve with warm tortillas, fresh chopped tomatoes, fresh cilantro, shredded cheese, sour cream and salsa.

We use 0% Greek Yogurt for the sour cream, you cannot tell the difference at all when it’s mixed with other flavors.

This stuff was SO good that I actually think I will be able to eat chicken with some quinoa and veggies for dinner when I want to be super healthy and not hate it. I hate eating a plain chicken breast… I can’t do it – it just grosses me out.

and just so you truly believe me that it’s delicious, I’ll tell you about something that I made that is not.

I made those PB+J cookies I posted about.

They were NOT so good.

I even made a second batch using a different kind of oats because I thought maybe I did it wrong…. but no…. they were just bad.

skinny taste recipes are always so good, so I don’t know what happened?

I’ll stick to these healthy peanut butter cookies instead which are delicious.

Lifestyle, weekend recap

weekend recap

March 3, 2014

Hope you all had a great weekend!
Obviously I capped it all of with The Oscar’s

maybe I just have too much bridal and wedding on the mind,
but everyone and their mom seemed to be in white or cream.

Kate Hudson, Kate Blanchette, Kristin Cavallari, and Maria Menounos are my favorites.
I mean seriously how does Kristin look like that?
I want that dress. Big time.

oh…. and THIS.

WHAT????

moving on, now that we all feel great about ourselves……

got a much needed manicure in Essie’s Pink About It

added a new addition from Francesca’s to my stack, the fake diamond bracelet

next to my fake cartier love bracelet // michelle watch // and gold bangle my mom had made for me years ago

In addition to Pinterest, I spent way too much time on the website Domaine. Whoops.

see yesterday’s post about Yolanda’s unreal house here.

we made an unreal slow cooker recipe yesterday that I’ll be sharing tomorrow!

I’m sure I’m not the only one that salivates over Yolanda’s house every Monday night

during The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Now, the gorgeous estate with six bedrooms and nine bathrooms is up for sale, for a mere $27 million.

Whyyyyyy are you leaving and where are you going next, because I don’t know how it could possibly top this!

the perfect outfit for spring. perfect.

if someone knows of a skirt similar to this, please leave a link in the comment section and I’ll love you forever 🙂

I will be ordering these napkins to have on hand for every occasion.

preach.

these earrings are $34 and so gorgeous I can’t stand it.

for someone like me who wears a pair of studs all day everyday,

these would be as perfect with jeans as they would be a black dress.

inspiration for the makings of an incredible bridesmaids luncheon.

Do we believe this or not?

It’s a website I found through pinterest with knockoff lululemon pants.

I feel like I need to order a pair and see???

these healthy pb+j cookies are next up on my healthy baking list

target does it again with this belt.

I need to start changing up my dinner routine.

I make a great garbage salad (aka filled with a ton of veggies, avocado, and feta) but I have had it every night for the last week.

this recipe looks delicious.

hope you all have a great weekend 🙂

I have lots of wedding planning and a much needed dinner with girlfriends on the agenda. and the OSCARS!

and a much needed mani/pedi. it’s an emergency over here.

discuss amongst ya-selves…..

I’m going to let some much more hilarious people take over today’s Bachelor recap.

and I hope that “eees okay” that I do so.

Because every single line is pure perfection.

Head on over to Betches Love This.

It is the most perfect recap I have ever read in my life.

they are the funniest bitches ever and I love and hate them for it.

Slow clap for Andi for proving that there no doubt that he is the biggest douche and worst choice for a husband ever.

The Women Tell All next week is going to be amaziiiiiing.

JP’s response to any word in English:

Lisa VanderPump is really, really, really getting caught in her web of lies.

and if she bashes going on these lavish vacations because her accommodations are worse than Giggy’s one more time I will slap her.

awww, you poor thing.

how dare I only have one sink + toilet in my bathroom.

let me break out my tiny violin for you.

I know all season has been leading up to this, but I seriously believe everything they are saying about her.

She can’t even deny it!!! She does a hideous squinty face and goes “did I say that????” as if that is a denial.

“ken, I don’t know, did I????”

Nice try with the botoxed eye squint, but no one’s buying it.

Oh, and Lisa is NOT 55. She is 52.

Get it right, Yolanda, Godddddd.

Enough of this Beverly Hill Crap, Bring on the New York Crazy!!!!

Paul Rudd is most likely #1 in my “Top 5” list because of every reason in existence. I love, love, love him.
