Crock Pot Beef & Broccoli

This recipe came highly recommended by my sister who can best be described as the "anti-cook." She kept raving about it and once she sent me the pin, I knew it was something I had to make sooner rather than later. She was absolutely right and this recipe is a winner! Find the recipe at Chef-In-Training.

Sour Cream & Bacon Chicken

By now you all know how much I LOVE my crock pot! I love sour cream and bacon just as much, so I absolutely couldn't wait to try this recipe. Talk about an upgrade to Chicken Alfredo, the Key Ingredient was onto something when they shared this recipe!

Painting! One Room Down ...

A few weeks ago I decided to try my hand at painting a room in our house. I've never done so before, so I was a little nervous to say the least, especially because I knew my perfectionist tendencies would kick in. At the suggestion of my husband, I painted our guests bathroom because it's not one we use often enough for me to pick it. Armed with the tips from this post, I'm happy to report that the experience was pretty painless and turned out well. The color I used was Sherwin Williams' Vaguely Mauve. I can't wait to get the rest of the bathroom decorated!

Spinach Artichoke Pesto Pizza

I don't know about you all, but I am soooo over this winter! I especially am looking forward to eating lighter meals than we have been this extra long winter season. With hopes of getting Spring jump started early, I decided to try this twist on Spinach Artichoke dip. I used this recipe from Two Peas and their pod as a guide and it turned our great. We love home made pizza's around our house and this is a version I'm sure we'll be making more often.

COLOR INSPIRATION: Emerald Green

In honor of St. Patrick's Day we thought it would be fun to share a little inspiration based on everyone's favorite jewel tone. Gorgeous garbs for the bridal party, sequin linen for an extra pop, sweet treats for guests (from one of our favorite local bakeries!) and the perfect amount of uplighting tie in the perfect amount of Emerald Green.

Beef & Paremsan Pasta

Of all the pasta dishes I've been trying out lately, this has definitely been my favorite. I think the use of ground beef with a combination of zucchini, a veggie we don't normally eat made it an instant hit for me. Find the recipe here and let me know what you think!

Mardi Gras Sweet 16

A couple of weeks ago we had the pleasure of putting together a super cute, super festive Mardi Gras Sweet 16 for an awesome young lady. The colors and theme came together beautifully and the candy buffet was a huge hit. Please excuse our grainy iPhone photos!
