Fruit Salad

Clean and organized home is a happy home... at least for me. Messy places give me anxiety. I spent all evening cleaning and organizing our place and now that everything is clean and put away, I feel like my soul can rest.

To treat myself after all the hard work I decided to make a fruit salad. Yum. Makes you feel so healthy and fresh.

Quick Boneless Chicken Fry

For someone who loves chicken, this is the easiest recipe and quickest dinner possible. From start to finish it will take you about 30 minutes; which includes the 15 minutes marinate time.

Ingredients:

Boneless Chicken
Salt
Ground Black Pepper
Red Chili Powder
Lemon Juice
Green Peppers
Olive Oil

In a large plate that has about two inch raised edges, put desired amount of salt, black pepper, red chili powder and mix the powders together. Spread this all over the plate so that it creates a layer of powder. Now take your chicken and place it on top of the powder so that all the powder is covered with the chicken pieces. You can do this roughly. Now take your lemon juice and sprinkle it all over the chicken. Cover the plate with saran wrap but make sure that it doesn't touch the chicken (which is why you need a plate or flat container that has raised edges). Leave it in the fridge for about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, take a fraying pan and put some olive oil in it. Warm it for about a minute while you take out the chicken. You should see that the under side of the chicken has gotten a reddish tint to it. Fry the chicken in the oil for about 8 minutes while moving your spatula around so the chicken doesn't stick to the pan. Check to see if the chicken is cooked, if not you can give it another minute of two, but make sure not to over cook it or you will dry out the chicken. You want it to be juicy and tender. Once cooked, serve it with either rice and some mint yogurt chutney. Enjoy!!

Michael Kors Wallet

My search for the perfect wallet had been going on for about two years now and I am so glad to have found the exact style and look I was going for. Michael Kors Jet Set Continental Wallet has just enough room for your cards, change, and receipts, the softest leather you can imagine and the smoothest zipper I have used so far, with the perfect amount of gold hardware. To protect the leather, the sales woman suggested I get their leather cleaner; which I so obediently did because I want to be able to use this wallet for couple of years with minimum scratches. I think of it as an investment! ;-)

 

While I was in the store, I fell madly in love with this bag here, but thankfully remembered that I just made my student loan payment!! Wouldn't that bag be the perfect year around handbag that could fit almost anything!?!? Maybe some other time... ;-)

I have been so busy lately that my handbag had turned into a nightmare! I'm always having a hard time finding things in my bag when I need them and I end up taking everything out to find what I am looking for. This has GOT to stop.

It's time for some organization!!

Now you know what I carry in my handbag...

Pumpkin Cake

One of my new years resolutions is to cook and bake more and for the past few weeks i've been doing exactly that!! Here is a yummy recipe for a Pumpkin Bundt Cake I found online, but ended up altering few things to my desires: 

Ingredients: 

4 Large Eggs

1 Cup Vegetable Oil

2 1/2 Cups Sugar

1 tsp Vanilla Extract 

1 Can of Pumpkin Puree (15 ounce) 

3 Cups of All Purpose Flour

2 tsp Baking Powder 

1 tsp Baking Soda

1/4 tsp Salt

1/3 tsp Ground Cinnamon 

1/4 tsp Ground Ginger 

1/8 tsp Ground Cloves 

1 Cup of Mini Chocolate Chips

Pre-heat the over to 350 degrees. 

Mix eggs, oil, sugar, and vanilla extract together in a bowl and beat well. Add pumpkin puree and mix again. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Now add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients bowl and mix well. Add chocolate chips. Add the batter into the bundt pan and bake for 55 minutes.  

Once baked, you can dust the cake with powdered sugar or decorate with the Chocolate Glaze recipe below. 

Chocolate Glaze: 

Take 6 Ounces of semisweet chocolate, 57 grams of butter, and 2 tbsp of light corn syrup in a pan. Melt them together and once melted let it cool to a thick syrup consistency. Pour over the cake and let it sit for 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Goodbye 2011, Hellooo 2012!!

2011 will come to an end tonight, but I am looking forward to what the new year has to offer and am  excited for all that I have planned for my blog this upcoming year.

Here is my dress for my New Years party tonight: 

I am in love with the sequins!!

Since I get cold easily, I will be wearing black tights with my dress. You can also wear a fun bright colored tights with some heels. I'll be home with my husband so I won't need a bag nor shoes, but if I was going out on the town I would be rocking this ALDO bag and my favorite GOLD J. Renee shoes:

Keeping the accessories to a minimum to not take away from the dress!!

My favorite J. Renee heels!

Hope you had an amazing year and have an even more amazing year ahead of you!! HAPPY NEW YEAR and don't forget to follow my blog!!
