Get a healthy summer dinner on the table fast with my Southwest Chicken and Spinach Salad! I don’t know about you, but I try to avoid turning my oven on until September if I can help it. Quick and healthy meals that I can pull together in minutes on busy summer days are a must.

Get ready for the easiest and tastiest teriyaki sauce you have had in a while. Not to mention, this one is easy on the food budget! Out of desperation, and unable to find a teriyaki sauce to marinade meat in that did not have gluten in it, this is what I ended up with. I
I love black. I love color as well, but always tend to use a fair amount of black when decorating and picking out clothes. The whole “thinning” thing is on the top of my list of course, but I love the way it makes me feel when I wear it. And I love using it

I am so excited to share my latest upcycle with you! My sister just returned from France, and will be visiting soon. I wanted something pretty for the guest bathroom to hold towels with a nod to her recent travels, and I think I may have found just the thing. I found this box (bor-ing!)
Pillows are one of my favorite ways to quickly change the look of a room when you are trying to decorate on a budget This is probably the #1 thing I use my sewing machine for, making or recovering pillows. Here is a little bit of inspiration, as well as some of my money-saving ideas on how to
So. Guess who turned 41 this year, and finally scheduled a good ol’ mammogram to ring in her birthday? This is not my first ride on the mammo-train. I found a lump when I was in my 20’s, and had two mammograms about three years apart before 30. (Sorry if that is too much info, but
I love all of the super cute accessories and clothes for summer this year. Bright tanks and maxi skirts, fun bags and sandals can be mixed together for a casual, yet pretty summer wardrobe.

Chinoiserie, a French term, signifying “Chinese-esque”, is one of my gigantic style crushes right now. I have put together a fabulous group of spaces that reflect the use of Chinoiserie-inspired accents, art and furniture. All images from Houzz, and each picture credits the designer, and their awesome style! I love this symmetrical tablescape, a wood frame with

Some folks shy away from zucchini because it brings back memories from childhood of an over-cooked vegetable they were forced to eat. As with all cooking, we have our own way of preparing our favorite foods, if I am going to grow beautiful zucchini I will probably end up doing two things with them. First
