High Five for Friday



Oh my goodness, the first Friday of summer. Well of course this has been a good week.

1.  Discover card has double cashback today so I am taking full advantage and buying this Kate Spade handbag that I have been drooling over all week.  I called their customer care and the lovely ladies at Kate provided some extra off, making this bag, well, mine.

2.  Markdowns at Target were so good this week! Got myself a very cute pair of shorts for only $5 dollars!  (Pictures to come)

 

3.  I started my blog and hopefully more than 2 people will read it.

>>>Stay tuned for a post I've been thinking about doing forever, to come tomorrow!

4.  Summer is here! I will be teaching summer school for three weeks, only 4 hours a day and I think I like it better than nothing all day.  I get home at 12:30 and I am like...well...now what?  So then I go running!



5.  I am going to Jason's parents for Father's day weekend so I get to run the trails with sister-in-law!

Do it Yourself Laundry Detergent

Image
Finally! I am going to dive into DIY home solutions.  I have been wanting to do this for so long, and since Jason and I just started our home together, I figured this would be the perfect time to start. I am going to start my adventure with laundry detergent.  I love the idea because you know exactly what you are washing your clothes with, you can pick your own scent combinations, but most of all, it is extremely cost effective.  I didn't really how cost effective until I actually dove in and tried it myself...HERE follows my experience. :) First, I perused Pinterest and other google searches until I found a recipe that matched my need. 1.  Clean smelling laundry. 2.  Stain removal. 3.  Cost effectiveness. 4.  Large amount. 5.  EASY, low commitment. :) I adjusted the recipe I found because it made 5 gallons and that would last me and my tiny family about 5 years so I chose to adjust to make about a gallon.  Here is what you need: 2 2lb boxes of Baking Soda 3

Flavorful Corn on the Cob

Image
Something interesting about me? I love corn! I will eat corn anyway it could possibly be cooked; so you should find it surprising that up until a couple weeks ago, I had NO idea had to make corn on the cob.  It was on sale at Publix so I bought a whole bunch and thought, "Yes, I am going to learn to cook this".  I have to admit, Jason helped me create this recipe. (But I cooked it all by myself.) Seriously, I am not a chef, but this is so do-able.  You can choose any spices you like and the great part is, since you used olive oil, you don't even need to roll the corn in butter! It gets so juicy and flavorful!  (Of course, butter always makes things better, so adding it is totally allowed.) Okay if that wasn't easy enough, then I don't know what is!  Here is a little bit more description. 1.  Put your rinsed/husked piece of corn on a square of foil. 2.  I chose to put on olive oil, garlic salt, and seasoned salt. I could add these 3 things to anything and

Homemade Chikfila Nugs!

Image
Picture this:  It's Sunday afternoon, still to early for dinner but you are definitely needing something to eat.  You squint your eyes look up to the right and tilt your head, (This is what I do when I think about food), then you realize, "MMM Chikfila would be amazing!" A common mistake we all make at one point or another, NOOOOO Chikfila is closed.  Upon this happening to me last Sunday I decided to scour the Internet and look for my own recipe for that 12 count nugget.  Of course, my search began on Pinterest , the end all be all of idea finding (and time wasting).  I found this recipe and decided, yep, I am going to try this. I made some changes so pay attention closely.  I in no way am perfect in the kitchen, so make changes as you see fit. Things you will need: 2 skinless and boneless chicken breasts       1 cup milk 1 egg 1 1/4 cups flour 2 Tbsp powdered sugar 2 Tsp of salt 1 Tsp of pepper Olive/canola/peanut oil
