Chic Shelf Paper

The cutest site for the most stylish drawer liner! Is it weird to get excited over drawer liner? I was searching for some for the china cabinet when I came across it. You can either order per roll or you can have custom sizes cut for you!

Below are some of my favorites:

 Clinique Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector

I got a sample of this and started using it twice a day on those pesky dark spots left over from past blemishes. I noticed them getting lighter after just a few days! The price does sound high but a little of this stuff goes a LONG way.

China cabinet progress!

 

 Charleston is getting an H&M on King Street this Fall!

Your sweet comments on yesterday's post! Thank you for letting me know I was not crazy in thinking that comment was ridiculous.

Thursday's Thoughts.

-We had a fun dueling piano event at work last night! Everyone was having a good ol' time!

-It's not cool that my Dolce Vita sandals are coming apart just a month after having them.

-I know I probably shouldn't even bring this up, butttttt the other day I got a nasty anonymous comment. In the 3 years that I've been blogging, I've only gotten 2 sassy comments, both of them being this year. Both over something completely ridiculous. This time? Get this - it was because I called Cameron handsome. I wasn't even going on and on about him. I simply stated that he looked handsome in one picture and for that, I was "bragging." Excuuuuuuse me if I think he's handsome. Last time I checked, this was my blog, he was my husband, and I'm allowed to say whatever I want and I'm also allowed to think he's handsome and say so. And thank you to my bloggy friends that saw the comment and backed me up. :)
So now - bye bye anonymous comments. Ain't nobody got time fo' dat. 

 

 

-We're starting our supper club back up and this Friday is the first one! So excited! This time, instead of the host making all of the food, the host will make the main dish and everyone else will bring either an appetizer, salad, side, or dessert. I volunteered to bring the dessert and I'm making this chocolate brownie trifle!

-Excited for Saturday when we celebrate Cameron's grandmother's husband's 90th birthday! Then after that, we're heading to see needtobreathe at the Performing Arts Center! Going to be a great weekend!

One more day until Friday!

Baker Wedding: Reception Dancing!

Sorry for the lack of wedding pics so far..I'm waiting on a certain something before I post them. :)

 

To hold you over, here's the video of the reception dancing my videographer put together.

The dancefloor was packed the entire night thanks to our amazing band, Quiana Parler and Friends!

 

Again, click on the video to make it larger.

-The crazy guy with the sunglasses on is my BFF's husband.
-The two other crazy guys are Scott and Ted - both single, ladies!

Can we please do it again?!?!



Tasty Tuesday: {Guest Post} South of the Border Quiche

Now that we’re well into spring, it’s time to step away from those heavy, stick-to-your-ribs kind of dishes and start cooking lighter. Brisk, chilly weather calls for thick and hearty soups and stews, but warm spring nights call for chilled dishes and fresh salads that won’t weigh you down.

Even if you’re a big fan of salads, it’s pretty likely that eating one at every meal would get old pretty fast. Which is why when you’re looking for ways to incorporate fresh spring flavors into easy lunch and dinner recipes, there’s often a little creativity required.

Luckily, there are plenty of ways to incorporate produce into everyday meals that don’t look or feel nearly as wholesome as they actually are, and this recipe for South of the Border Quiche is a perfect example; nutritious warm-weather foods like corn, cilantro, tomatoes, red pepper and onion are hidden inside a light egg-y filling. And because the recipe calls for egg substitute rather than shell eggs, you’re saving lots of unnecessary fat and calories. This is not your heavy, winter-y quiche—it’s light as air and bursting with fresh spring flavor.

And the best part? It only requires half an hour of hands-on time, meaning it’s great for busy days when you don’t feel like spending all night in the kitchen. Add this yummy quiche to your list of easy Mexican recipes for a light and delicious way to ring in spring and keep yourself feeling great.

South of the Border Quiche

Prep Time: 30 min

Total Time: 1 hour

Serves: 8 (142 calories per serving)

• 1 frozen pie crust (9-inch), thawed
• 1 tablespoon Fleischmann's® Original-stick
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 2 tablespoons chopped red bell pepper or pimento
• 1-1/3 cups fat free milk
• 1 cup Egg Beaters® Original (1 cup = 8 oz)
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup drained canned whole kernel corn
• 1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided
• 1 can (10 oz each) Ro*Tel® Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies, drained

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 450°F. Lightly prick the side of pie crust with a fork. Bake for 5 minutes or until lightly browned; set aside. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.

Melt Fleischmann’s in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper; cook and stir for 6 minutes or until crisp-tender. Beat milk, Egg Beaters, flour, salt and black pepper in a medium bowl with a wire whisk until well blended. Add onion mixture, corn and hot pepper sauce; mix well. Pour into prepared pie crust; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of cilantro. Cover the edge of the crust with foil to prevent overbrowning.

Bake for 30 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. While quiche is baking, combine drained tomatoes and the remaining cilantro in a small bowl for the salsa. When quiche is done, let stand 10 minutes before cutting into 8 slices. Serve topped with salsa (or queso fresco for any cheese-loving family members).

Baker Wedding: Video Trailer!



 

I can't for the life of me get this video to get any larger, so to get the full effect, view it on fullscreen!

Favorite parts of the video:
-The song that is playing is our first dance song, "Heavenly Day" by Patty Griffin. I can no longer listen to the song without crying.
-The first look..pretty sure I was about to lose it when I hugged Cameron.
-Also pretty sure the part of me dancing with my Dad is when he stepped on my dress. :)
-Spending time with Cameron before the ceremony. Definitely helped calm our nerves.
-Cameron's brother pinching his nipple. Oh, brotherly love.
-My beautiful bridesmaids!

I do wish everyone dancing to the band and the send off were on the trailer, but I know it will be on the real video, which should be arriving this week!
