Easy Peasy!

Just a quick post about something awesome!

If you are ever tired and in a hurry you need this!

This is one of my staple go to's on a night that I am too tired to try and don't want think about making anything.  Usually takes me around 20 minutes and it is sooooo good!!!!

They also have a frozen version which comes with the chicken in it.  Obviously more expensive.  I usually get the boxes on sale and with a coupon for around $3-$4.

Not bad for a super easy and yummy dinner option.

Enjoy!

Some Like It Hot...

I do not.  I'm I have made everyone well aware of my disdain for hot weather.  Now, we are in a Heat Advisory through the weekend!  Oh joy.  Please note the sarcasm.

There is a small glimmer of hope on Sunday.  A very small glimmer. 

So, since the dog days of summer have arrived with a vengeance, I have decided to make the most of it.  Here are a few thing on my list to keep myself happy, occupied and cool!

Spend hours on my new obsession - Pinterest.  A place where you can let your imagination go and get great ideas for the home, style and crafts!

My next home decorating projects!

See what I mean, I could go on and on and on, well you get the idea. 

Since it's too hot to bake, I am on the hunt for the perfect summer salad, and I think I found it!!!  We have a great salad place called The Mixx, and I tried their "Garden of Eden" salad and it was Ah-mahzing!!!

Yum right!

Here is the recipe, go check it out!!!

Finish planning husbands 30th birthday party!!!

Cute idea right!  From Pinterest, of course!

"Cleansing" my house.  Sell and get rid of some old decor items on Craigslist and maybe rearrange some furniture and organize like crazy. One of my favorite things to do.

Reading and catching on movies and tv shows round out the list!!!

Stay cool everyone!!!

Say Whaaaaa...

So we all know that the big trend in fair foods is to deep fry anything you can get your hands on.   Twinkies, Krispy Kreme burgers (that's right Krispy Kreme BURGERS) and my favorite deep fried butter.  (I feel greasy just writing this post.)

This season's hottest trend in deep fried state fair foods, deep fried Kool-Aid balls.

That's right folks, they have deep fried all the food so here come the deep fried drinks.

Ok, so they don't really just take a pitcher of Kool-Aid and drop it into a vat of oil.  I guess mix Kool-Aid powder, flour and water, into a batter and then drop dollops into the oil.

OH YEA!

(Not really.)

Honestly though, considering that there is deep fried butter at state fairs, deep fried Kool-Aid may be on the "healthier" side.  Ha!  I guess you really can deep fry anything.

BEST IDEA EVERRRRRRR!!!!!!!

Nutella Coffee Creamer

That's right folks, I said it.  How crazy good would that be?!?!?!?!

Magic Blender until:

Things I Love

Ah yes, with Memorial Day came the unofficial start to summer. With that, here are a few things that I look forward to with the Summer season.

City Market - Mmmm...Yes, all the amazing fruit, veggies and flowers that keep me happy all summer long! Where else can you get a flat of beautiful delicious strawberries for $10? Or gorgeous annuals for $3! Or 12 limes for $1?!?!?! That's right I said one dollah! That sure makes me hollah.

Notice how there are two missing already?  I ate 2lbs of strawberries in two days. 

Finding awesome deals on winter/fall clothes that you can still wear in the summer - Ha, that was a long title, but it's my blog and I can have a long title if I want to. No, but seriously I found a shirt and pants at the GAP outlet for $1.97 and $2.98. That's right folks, step right up to the amazing Bargain Hunting Woman. She can sniff a great bargain out regardless of the store she is in.

Wearing dresses - Now, with the "awesome" wind we have here in Kansas, wearing shorter flowey skirts/dresses are not always an option.  Which is why I love the maxi dress.  So many cute ones this year, I hope this is one style that does not go away!!!

Iced coffee - I love coffee in general, but something about a nice cold coffee that is refreshing!  Now, that I have a Magic Bullet I will be sure to make some homemade yummy "Karenccinos".  See what I did there,  a play on Starbucks' frappacinos.  I knew you got it, you guys are so smart.

Dang, I really want a Karenccino.  My Magic Blender and I are going to get to know each a little better now.

To Whom It May Concern:

I love food.  I use food as a way to comfort myself and celebrate special occasions.  Ok, really any occasion, “HEY!   It’s Monday! Let’s eat!”

It has been a love/hate relationship.  I love it because it tastes good!  I hate it because, well, it tastes good!

FOOD. IS. SO. GOOD.



Trying new foods is the best.  I will try any kind of food, I am an equal opportunity eater.

Although, I am in a lose lose situation when I find a new delicious food.  Because, it is then cataloged, indexed and Dewey Decimal systemed into my brain.  So then, at a later time, I can search my brain for some yumminess to crave when I am hungry or bored or it’s 3:00 on a Wednesday.

Thus brings up why I am writing this letter. I don’t appreciate your company creating the beautifully deliciousness that I tried for the first time yesterday.

It was UH-FLIPPIN-MAZING!

The Cadbury Egg. Seriously? How could I have gone my whole life without having one of these deliciously sweet, melt in your mouth eggs?


Sigh… Therein lies the problem.  Now that I know what chocolaty creamy goodness is out there, I want one.  All. The. Time.  I want one now.  Like I am going to stop typing, drive to the store and get one, or two, or, well you know how this goes.

So, in the future Cadbury Egg company, if you would refrain from making any more yummy goodness in the future, I would greatly appreciate it, scratch that, my hips and thighs would greatly appreciate it.

Sincerely,
Crazy for Cadbury

P.S.  Holy frijoles, I just found a caramel Cadbury Egg.  Sigh...
