  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 4 tablespoons of dark brown sugar

Remember When the Summer was Longer?

Whoa, what happened to the summer of 2016?  It seems as though we were just getting ready for Memorial Day and then the 4th of July and now on Monday it will be Labor Day.

What happened to the summer of 2016?

Do you remember when it felt like summer lasted a lot longer than 93 days?  Now it seems like winter lasts longer than 180 days!  I have a Yard Sale scheduled for Saturday but because I was so busy during the season this is the only one I have planned.  Perhaps I will have an opportunity to de-clutter more of the house including my closets to have another one in the fall.

Anywho, today’s outfit is actually a throwback from two  summers ago. The Tie Dye top and Canvas Sneakers was created specifically to wear to A Radiant Orchid Summer Party, which was a blogger event sponsored by Rit Dye.  If you don’t remember the event or didn’t have an opportunity to see the post – click here to revisit it or see it for the first time.

I bought several bottles of fabric dye afterwards but never had an opportunity to create any other outfits.  I am, however, thinking about refashioning these white jeans with a bottle of black dye to wear in the winter so you may be seeing them again in a different color.

Now that summer is fading into the background, I hope to accomplish a few more outdoor activities.  How about you, were there any summer activities that you planned but never got around to doing?

Did the summer fly by or was it just me?

Mark your calendar because there is one reason to look forward to the fall and that is my new AAU Talk Radio Program: “Social Media Sunday with the Delaware Blogger”

 

AAU Teen Talk Radio

Come back on Friday for the last Crock Pot meal of the summer or could it be the first Crock Pot meal of the fall – you be the judge!

The weather is getting warmer and starting Sunday the sun will be out longer so it’s time to make my dinner meals quicker and easier. 

I will continue using the Crock Pot but this easy breezy, 3 ingredient recipe is perfect for the mid-week or even a weekend meal when wrapped in a tortilla and sprinkled with cheese.

3 ingredient chicken recipe

I love using these individually wrapped chicken breast tenderloins and keep several of them in the freezer.  

I only need to use one portion when it’s just hubby and I, however, since Tayair decided to grace us with his presence I used 3 packages and it was more than enough for all of us. 

As a matter of fact, I had an extra piece of chicken to use in my salad the next day.
