Weekend Wind-Down Party | #20

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!

By the time you read this post I will be hanging with hubby and his co-workers celebrating his retirement at a party!!  Don’t worry, I’ll check back in on our party tomorrow night.  I hope you all had a wonderful week and are gearing up for what should be a fantastic first weekend in June ~ can you believe it, where did May go? WWDPARTY BUTTON

Tomorrow I had plans to set up a table at the Dutch Country Farmer’s Market but decided to sleep in which is more important for my overall well being.  I’ll set up next month.

Congratulations to last week’s Featured Bloggers!

Toilet Seat Covers For Your Face | Money Saving Beauty Tips

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!

This is an old post but I think it’s worth repeating, especially as the weather warms.

If your face is naturally oily or perhaps you get that “afternoon glow” on your T-Zone, here’s a money-saving tip: don’t spend your money on store-bought cosmetic blotters, just grab a toilet seat cover and make your own.

Toilet seat covers

Cut the toilet seat covers into squares

If you are out and have to use a public restroom, grab a few of those toilet seat covers.  When you get home cut them into small squares which you can then store in a small plastic sandwich bag, or envelope to keep in your purse or makeup bag.

homemade blotting cloths blotting your t-zone

Afternoon Glow?

blotting cloths save money by making your own blotting cloths

Now you have your own home-made (FREE) blotting cloths.

What are some of your money saving beauty tips?

I hope to see you again this evening at 6:00 for the #WWDParty!

Weekend Wind-Down Party | Bloggers Networking

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!

I trust you all had a wonderful week and are now gearing up for a fun filled or relaxing weekend. It was definitely a busy week for me and the fam, Malik was on Spring break so he was able to shovel 2 yards of mulch into the backyard, needless to say, he wasn’t happy but it needed to be done. Saturday, I cleaned out the garage and replaced part of the gate around the pool injuring my arm in the process – hubby couldn’t help which made the job a bit more difficult but at least it’s done! Homeowners always remember, “you never own a house, the house owns you!”

Resurrection Sunday after Sunrise Service I came home and took a nap. Later in the day I did a little yard work only to get my first dose of poison oak clearing out the garden, don’t ask me how because it always seems to find me.  I read a blog post that stated banana peels are good to stop the itch so I tried it, it worked but only temporary, so if you have a better remedy please share.

If you follow me on Instagram you know that Easter dinner was wonderful, Turkey Ham with pineapples, collard greens, sweet potatoes and a No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake for dessert – yum!

Welcome back to the Weekend Wind-Down Party, I don’t know about you but I am having a great time – so many great posts – thank you!

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!

This has truly been an exhausting week and I’m glad that in less than 24 hours it will officially be the weekend!!!  Hubby is doing well and should be home from the hospital early next week.  In the meantime I am enjoying the little break, I only have to make my side of the bed and the bathroom is all mine – lol!

Welcome to the Weekend Wind-Down Party #12, where food, fun and fashion is shared by some wonderful bloggers and this week’s features are just a few examples.

Weekend Wind-Down Party #11

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!

I don’t know about you, but for some strange reason this week seemed to fly by!  Today is the first full day of Spring and hopefully it will stick around just as long as ‘ole Man Winter did!  

Welcome to this week’s Weekend Wind-Down Party, I am looking forward to finding some great light recipes to help jump start my “Spring Shedding of the Winter Weight Season” – lol!

Weekend Wind-Down Party #10

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay

This has been a week of highs and lows and I am not even going to talk about the zany weather.  Life is so very fragile, I am asking each of you to tightly hug and tell someone that you love them tonight before the clock strikes midnight!  I also want to say, “thank you” for being part of my life, I will probably need to borrow some of your strength as time goes on…but we’ll talk about that later, in the meantime. please say an extra prayer for the “Blake Family”.

Can you believe that this is the 10th Weekend Wind-Down Party?  It has been so much fun, reading, sharing and laughing at all the wonderful posts each week.

BTW – this is the last weekend to enter to win the $50 Gift Certificate to Midnight Velvet!

Creamy Mozzarella Chicken | Ragu Cheese Creations

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!

I don’t know about you but I am still dragging from last week’s change to Daylight Saving Time, I need a nap!  This week’s feature is another non-Crock Pot dish, but that doesn’t mean I’ve abandoned them, as a matter of fact one of them is home cooking dinner right now.

This Creamy Mozzarella Chicken features Ragu Cheese Creations Sauce

Creamy Mozzarella Chicken

and the recipe is on the back of the jar.

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless chicken breast – I used 2 packs of tenderloins
  • 1 jar Ragu Cheese Creations Creamy Mozzarella Sauce, divided
  • 1 cup Italian seasoned dry bread crumps
  • 1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped
  • 1 Tbsp. basil leaves / Italian seasoning

Creamy Mozzarella Chicken

Pour 1/2 cup of Mozzarella sauce into a bowl ~ coat chicken with sauce and then with dry bread crumbs.

Coat chicken with sauce and bread crumbs

 

Place coated chicken into 13×9 baking pan, spray with cooking spray for easier cleanup.  Bake in preheated oven 450 degrees for approximately 15 minutes.

Add remaining sauce

Spoon remaining sauce around chicken in the pan, bake another 5 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly done.

Creamy Mozzarella Chicken

I cooked a package of Knorr Pasta Sides for chicken which complimented this dish perfectly as would a side of mac n cheese!

 This was another family meal that my men loved and no leftovers!

 Top cooked chicken with tomatoes and Italian seasoning for an easy breezy mid-week meal.

 

Stay Blessed – No Stress in 2014!

*Don’t forget to come back at 6:00 pm for this week’s #WWDParty where I’m sure there will be some great St. Patrick’s Day recipes and crafts!

Weekend Wind-Down Party #9

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!

 This month is running wild and flying by way too quickly, there has been a whirlwind of activity in my life and that’s not even including the last snowstorm of the season. (fingers crossed)  All of it has definitely been wonderful and exciting, some I can speak about, others not just yet, but it’s all good news!

  • I lost my 2005 Hyundai Sonata due to engine failure and replaced her with a 2010 Hyundai Accent.
  • New Car Purchased at Carman
  • Hubby completed his retirement paperwork, so on July 1st, he will officially be retired from the State of Delaware – congrats, I’ll give you the “honey-do” list on the 1st of August, a few weeks before our 24th Wedding Anniversary. honey do list
  • The 2014 Goodwill Runway Show was fantastic, I hope you had an opportunity to read the post, if not, click here.  I twisted my ankle a few hours before the event and had to change shoes 3 times, but thankfully, it wasn’t worse and I made it through the night with a smile!
  • Goodwill Runway Show On Tuesday I taught a Blogging 101 Class which is sponsored by The Money School of Delaware and there were some awesome attendees whose participation was great.

Tomorrow the temps are expected to reach the upper 50’s, so if you are getting a jump on your Spring Wardrobe don’t forget to enter to win a $50 Gift Certificate to Midnight Velvet.

Weekend Wind-Down Party #8

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!

Can you believe this is the last Friday in February?  It’s sad to see time flying but I don’t think any of us will miss the snowy season and with only 21 days until Spring, we can all  “GOODBYE FEBRUARY!”.

As you read this I’m at the Sheraton Hotel participating in this year’s 2014 Goodwill Runway Show.  This is my first time working as a Stylist and am truly over-the-top excited!  Fellow blogger and friend, Whitney Nic James is covering the event so look forward to reading all about it next week.
