Chicken & Broccoli Casserole

I remember there were certain meals that I wished I could eat everyday that my mom would make while I was growing up. One of them is a total comfort food casserole (she only made this once in a while) - Chicken & Broccoli Casserole!


Lay cooked broccoli and chicken down in an oven safe baking dish.


Mix together mayonnaise, cream of chicken soup, and curry powder.


Add a tsp of lemon juice, and pour mixture over broccoli and chicken. Sprinkle bread crumbs and a little bit of paprika. Bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees.


I must say I am pretty satisfied with the way it turned out, but my mom's cooking will always be the best:)

My Mom Never Ceases to Amaze Me

These pictures were taken when my mom was pregnant with my older brother, Chris. Look how much she glows! I still think she's beautiful and I'm so thankful for her. As a way to say thank you to all of the special mothers in my life (mom, grandma, & Mrs. Dunn), I made some cards. Happy mother's day mom, I love you!

Today's Thrift Store Finds

I scored this gingham picnic basket complete with dishes, utensils, and matching napkins at the thrift store today for only $4.50 !


And I also picked up this adorable floral printed mason jar for only $2.

Don't you love it when you find things that are in excellent condition for a great deal? I Do :)

Acai Berry Bowls

On my walk back from the gym the other day, I stopped by the Brazilean market (a major plus to living in LA!) and picked up a frozen package of acai berries for only $5, so that I could make breakfast for Andrew and I this weekend.


After blending the frozen fruit with some OJ, I added some sliced banana, strawberries and low fat granola on top. Tasty,easy, and healthy!

A New Tablecloth

One place I haven't given much attention to in my apartment is the kitchen. So I checked out Design Sponge for some DIY kitchen decor ideas. I came across a lovely table cloth project by Elenor Grosch ,and I knew I HAD to try making one.



I ended up using 10 dish towels to make this one , which cost me only 6 dollars! Pretty, clean, and topped with delicious food, like chicken and veggie stir-fry - just the way I like it.
