Current Favorites: March 2012

Happy March! The month of St. Patty's Day and the Vernal Equinox!  Let's get this party started!

Kicking my faves list off with this awesome product called the "Color Bug." It's temporary, the colors are bright on blond hair, and this could be the answer to pink streaks in my hair!

Also loving my homemade chocolate chip pecan cookies-- they're my husband's favorite.  It's a tweaked recipe from my mom's chocolate chip cookies and I just recently added cinnamon into the mix! Yum!  

     

And of course, it was Chicago's 175th birthday a few days ago... love that favorite city :)

For the past 2 and a half weeks I've been OBSESSED with "Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning," a brand new fantasy RPG based on the writings of R.A. Salvatore.  It's a complete blast!

Are these screen shots not sweet?!

Another favorite thing is planning our weekly menu around recipes I find on Pinterest.  I haven't made any of the ones below YET, but they're on my list...

    

     

(Recipes clockwise from top left: Apple Nachos, Greek Pasta Salad, Pesto Chicken stuffed shells, and Bailey's Irish Cream cookies)

Taking a complete 180 from the cooking angle is motivation and optimism for the new "Me" to come.

Date Night <3

And finally... HUMOR.

   

 

Slow cooker Chicken Tikka Masala

I'm not gonna lie: I have the coolest friends EVER!  If you don't know me or are not one of my friends... be jealous... and then let's become friends!!!  I have a few that are amazing career women, beautiful moms, fashionistas, artists, writers, photographers... everyone is unbelievably talented and God has blessed me with them.

Which brings me to my lovely friend Elizabeth over at Simply E3 Design. She and I first met our freshman year of college in Chicago.  It was a tumultuous year for me personally (a lot of esoteric soul searching) and for us as roommates with 2 other women.  Elizabeth and I clicked because we're both organized, motivated, mature, and appreciate apartment cleanliness.  This was not the case with the other 2 girls; throw in other girl drama and you get a typical first year of college roommate experience.  Elizabeth transferred back to Iowa after that year but thankfully, through the power of social networking, we've remained friends.

As a person, Elizabeth is lovely, classy (think Breakfast at Tiffany's meets Modern Eco Chic), and has an amazing eye for art and photography.  She can also cook, is raising one handsome son over in Germany, and is currently building her and her husband's dream house in Texas-- read all about the process on her blog.  She's a seasoned traveler, lived in Hawaii for 2 years... basically she's one of those disgustingly talented, intelligent people you just have to love.

E. has an avid interest in Indian food so she recently posted her recommended recipe for Chicken Tikka Masala here.  Yes, that's HER photograph, by the way.  I've always had an avid fear of Indian food mainly because I wouldn't know what to order besides Naan (which I could and would eat every day if human bodies didn't need nutrients and sustenance and what not), and even though we have an Indian grocer (that smells funny) with a restaurant across the street, I'm less than brave when it comes to this food genre.  Thus, I had to try an E. recommended recipe to kick off my adventure into Indian cuisine.

Here's the result:

It was DELICIOUS!!!  I can't wait to eat the leftovers after the rice absorbs the sauce and the flavors have time to marinate.  Seriously... I'm debating about getting a bowl right.this.minute.  I'm not going to post the recipe-- you can go to E3 Design for that-- but my cooking process wasn't exactly the same so I'll go into those details.

Hodge Podge notes... The cucumber relish is a great compliment, easy, but next time I want to toss in some avocado and use lime juice instead of lemon.  Refreshing.

Also, I'd garnish the Chicken with cilantro for an added flavor boost.

So.... I accidentally bought 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs last week for no reason and knew they'd be great for this.  HOWEVER, you need to cut the chicken into pieces ahead of time and I don't own the knives for that kind of work with raw meat.  Thus, I parboiled the chicken for 20 minutes then added the spices & yogurt.  

Instead of browning the chicken in quarters, I tossed the whole bunch in my 12 inch skillet to save time. And I only used 2 Tbsp of butter... 4 seemed like too much.

I used rock sugar (made from beets) instead of raw sugar because that's what I had on hand. As a result, I only added 2 heaping teaspoons because it's much sweeter than normal sugar.  It worked well.  

I used organic brown rice (NOT INSTANT) for the mixture.  It's extremely filling.

Finally, the biggest change was my replacement of the heavy cream with Lite Coconut Milk (Taste of Thai brand).  This....... was not intended.  I  SOMEONE forgot to put heavy cream on the list so it never made it to the checkout line. Fortunately I had a can of coconut milk for no reason.  My skim milk wasn't an option, and I was concerned subbing yogurt would hurt the flavor.  Anyway... coconut milk... BEST IDEA EVER.  I'm sure I lost out on some of the creaminess (which might be remedied if I use Greek yogurt with the chicken, though I did add extra cornstarch to the milk), but the dish wasn't acidic, too spicy, or funky tasting. Plus there's less fat and dairy, so this will be my key ingredient from now on.  Not to mention the leftover heavy cream would've gone bad whereas I used the entire 14.5oz can of coconut milk.

Overall, I recommend splurging on the boneless/skinless chicken thighs if you can find them, but I think next time I'll use chicken breasts so the sauce is chunkier.

Revenge of the Nerds

Anyone else notice the growing trend of "uncool" becoming "cool" throughout the masses? Suddenly, waiting in line for the midnight release of Harry Potter (or Twilight if you're into that kind of thing) is not only something you admit to your friends, but also something you do with them... and in costume (also referred to as "cosplay" on the anime/ComicCon circuit).  Video games are no longer solitarily played in your parents' basement with a six pack of Mountain Dew & bag of Cheetos, they're done upstairs... in the living room... with OTHER PEOPLE! Spending time socializing on the computer isn't sad-- it's how you plan your Saturday nights-- and glasses are a fashion statement, not a fashion misstep.

However, the biggest change-- pun intended-- I've noticed (because it affects me directly) is the acceptance of curves, the realization that many women are above a size 4/6, beautiful, proud, and ATTRACTIVE. The 90's were all about that flat-as-a-board, straight, gangly, skinny and almost boyish female. Then the hourglass figured, busty Victoria's Secret models moved women forward into the beginning of the 21st century. And now... curves are rockin' the socks off the fashion industry, Hollywood, and the rest of us.  To clarify, I'm referring to voluptuous, not fat. I consider myself a fat Curvy Girl and am failing striving to become a thin Curvy Girl. But I'll never be a size 6 (like... I'd be near death and such if I reached that point), I'll always have thunder thighs (or "sexy dancer thighs" as my husband likes to call them), and will in general be a wider version of thin-- which is not only fine but AWESOME. I love that I'm built this way, that I'm full, with hips, a waist, and a bust... I think it makes me look softer actually. Touchable, even.  A man has something to hold on to and won't feel every bone in my body (gross).

Yet, with all this acceptance of the ammunition formerly carried around by bullies for us "nerds," we get the Posers.  The cool kids who had to have the latest clothing, the latest music, the latest everything are suddenly just as nerdy as the rest of us. Bullshit. For instance, an incredibly outgoing woman-- former prom queen-- now thinks she's an introvert. "Well her behavior could all be an act" you might say.  Is it an act that in every new place she lives she MUST find not only a church family but join as many Bible groups as possible?  Is it an act when she also joins other extracurricular activities in addition to work and church? Is it an act that she regularly socializes with coworkers outside of work? Is it an act that she's busy every weekend with social events? Is it an act that she travels regularly around the country to visit friends?  No. If you really want time to yourself, you WILL have it. That's the difference.  As an introvert made to feel "antisocial" and weird by extroverts because I like solitude as much as I enjoy the company of people, I'm insulted that an individual who needs the company of people as much as she needs air is suddenly an introvert because time spent alone reading, gaming, watching Netflix, traversing Facebook is now acceptable.

Yesterday I was on Yahoo! looking at the latest news and they had a tagline referring to Taylor Swift's "curves" in a bikini. So being me... I clicked on it.  SUCKER!  Taylor Swift's body resembles the surfboards found on the beaches of California-- being able to identify your waist and hips does NOT mean you're curvy.  The term "curvy" implies so much more: plus size, full figured, busty, larger than size 6, Marilyn Monroe, socially ostracized growing up, struggles with weight, struggles with self esteem, realizing confidence, individualism, "Real Woman Beauty."  And now the "skinny bitches" (and no, I don't think skinny women are actually bitches) are trying to take that away from us?! No. I won't stand for that crap.  It's taken me years to finally love my curves in spite of the ridicule and dateless dances... oh wait, I was an introvert so I didn't even GO (but I would've if I'd had a date), and some chick without a clue as to the pain, suffering, fighting you do when you're not the norm will never get the privilege of calling herself "curvy." I won't allow it. Okay, I can't back that up but am I alone here?  Am I the only one who finds it insulting to lose what makes me nerdy/curvy/introverted to the cool kids because they want to be part of the group?

Just be who you are.  If you're not into Harry Potter that's a-ok (though let's be honest, the Wizarding World lost its Nerd Status when it reached 450 million copies sold), if you love sports that's fantastic-- teach me! And if you love fashion and hate reading books, I will still be your friend.  Personally I have no desire to be "cool" (whatever that means other than the stereotyped high school jock or college sorority/frat peeps who spend every weekend trashed/throwing up in a parking lot), I am who I am, I like what I like, doesn't matter if it's trendy or geek-a-licious.

Frito Casserole

You know how memories throughout your life all revolve around food? Or is that just me... Anyway, all most of my childhood reminiscing triggers food I loved as a kid.  Not just Eggo cinnamon toast waffles, frozen TV dinners with that cartoon penguin, and sausages wrapped in pancakes from Market Day, I'm talking Home.Cooked.Meals. Hence why I'd like to be a halfway decent cook by the time my children arrive... by stork... as fully developed 3 year olds.... isn't that how it works?!

As a stay-at-home mom raising three kids close in age, teaching private piano, accompanying church and choirs, and doing bills and the displays for the family bakery, when it came to dinner my mom relied heavily on the middle class favorite: CASSEROLES. Doesn't it have an ominous ring to it? Now with countless fad diets, vegan/vegetarianism, the Food Network & Cooking Channel, tons of food magazines, Pinterest... the idea of a casserole is old fashioned, uncool, stereotyped as (dun dun dun!) unhealthy.  Now that the Crockpot is en vogue, I want to bring back the Casserole Love.

The fact remains that I still love many of my mom's casseroles (Note: I did not say ALL) and enjoy the simplicity and smell of dinner baking in the oven. If you hadn't guessed-- which I know you did cause you're a mad genius-- my absolute favorite is Frito Casserole. Since my little brother John HATED beans as a kid, FC became a treat as my mom tried desperately to please her family of five (3 of whom were picky children who disliked various foods) with one singular supper. We'd have it occasionally, John washing down every bite with the required glass of milk for our meal and a pained expression on his face, and those were the nights I was happy to eat home rather than McDonald's or (getting fancy on you now) Applebee's.

Can you blame me?

Seriously, who doesn't love meat, cheese, and Fritos?! (rhetorical question alert) Honestly, there aren't too many beans and they're easy to pick out, so if you have a child that has an aversion to those gas wielding beauties, this is still a manageable meal.  Otherwise try leaving them out or substituting them for something else and let me know what you do-- I love when people mess with my recipes :)

Mmmmmmmmmm NOM NOM NOM!

The best part about this recipe is it's a version of my mom's but even she changed it from the original: she added the cheese. My taste buds thank you, Mother.

1 to 1.25# ground turkey (or beef)
1 onion, chopped
2-3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 - 16oz can tomato sauce
5.5oz tomato juice (Campbell's makes little cans)
1 medium sized bag Lightly Salted Fritos (or regular)
1 can chili beans, with liquid (I used organic, but Brooks is a recommended brand)
1/2 to 1 tsp oregano
Dash of crushed red pepper (optional)
1-3 Tbsp chili powder-- to taste
8oz Shredded 2% cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown meat, onion, garlic (add salt & pepper to taste). Drain. Stir in tomato sauce, juice, oregano, red pepper, chili powder. In 2 qt casserole dish, layer beans, meat, cheese, and chips twice in that order. Cover and bake for 45 minutes-- uncover for the last 10 minutes.

Hodge Podge notes...  If you're like me and don't have a 2qt dish, any deeper and less wide dish will work. I used my Dutch oven, but you can buy aluminum dishes at the grocery store for one time use. Just cover with foil :)

Next time I want to add some chopped jalapeno (add with onion) as well as my favorite herb... CILANTRO (add with oregano)!!  Feel free to try.

Finally, serve guacamole and chips-- or some kind of avocado salad as a side-- it's a great balance of flavor.

Hair's the Problem: A Beauty Post

Though I've been trying to expand my makeup horizons, try new looks, and blog about them, I hit a snag 10 days ago when my right eye started feeling a bit... sore and irritated. The next day I woke up, noticed the lid swelling, and knew I had another damn stye.  I used to get these stupid eyelid infections (think eye pimple due to oil build up in the lash pore) as a kid and remember holding searingly hot cloths to the infected lid-- once I had two, one on the bottom and the other on the top lid. Special.

So this is what I looked like for a few days:

I promise no one punched me and I wasn't stung by a bee. Ah the pleasures of having ridiculously oily skin (my dad had the same problem in high school).  I never got it to burst while I was awake, but it took a few days of waking up to a crusted shut eye to see the thing dissipate.  Don't you just love medical stories?!

As a result I've gone makeup less until the redness went away. Which was this past Saturday.  Fortunately this was just in time for Date Night so I got all sexified with a darker golden look.

My Pinspiration:

And here's my attempt:

 Not gonna lie, I made such a mess with the Black and Dark Gray (I tried them both out) that I had to remove all the makeup surrounding my eyes because I looked dirty.  Note to self: when using dark shadow, do the eyes FIRST. In addition, I think I'm reaching a point where I want to try out fake lashes. Nothing too large but just enough to accent when I go out. With the right lashes I think I'd do "doe-eyed" pretty well.

And like I mentioned here, I did chop off my locks for a short, sassy do that I can manage and won't make me look like a man (I've been called "sir" before... painful).

Before

After

What do you think? As you can see, I didn't go red-- the stylist talked me out of it! Apparently red fades the fastest, is a ton of maintenance (and $$$), and is a big commitment... like YEARS.  And if I wanted to revert back to blond, I'd need to bleach my fine hair, damaging it big time in the process. Sigh... I think I'd make a great red head too.  Ah well, all the women at the salon love my natural color (in better lighting I promise) and said so many women want my shade.  

All this appearance altering brought me to a startling realization: I'm a short hair gal.  Long hair is beautiful on women who have plenty of it and know how to style it, but shortly after my hair passes my shoulders it becomes scraggly and has no body. I know in the above photos it doesn't look that way but that's only because I'd just finished doing my hair when I took the pictures. Ten minutes later and my hair would be lifeless. Bummer.  Perhaps some day for a special occasion I'll splurge for extensions.

I've always been a proponent for long hair as women age since it takes years off; however, short hair will be my look from now on. My hair looks fuller, healthier, and I can maintain it better.  Plus it's damn cute when done right.  What kind of rules do you have about hair?

German-Style Sausage Skillet

Are you hungry yet??

I originally found this Better Homes and Gardens recipe here as a fast, low-cal, during-the-week menu option and it just looked and sounded soooooooo delicious.  And that assessment isn't far from the truth (okay, it is the truth).

Because I'm 95% German/Austrian, this skillet called out to my meat, potato, and sauerkraut loving roots. Plus I never make German food... like ever.  It's always seemed (gasp!) bland-- my great grandmothers are rolling over in their graves at those words. Blandness is not an issue here. If you aren't sold on the mouthwatering photo or my testament, just know that it's a 35 minute, family-sized entree that's a little sweet, a little sour, and a lot savory.

Here's the recipe--

• 
  
• 1/2 cup sliced onion (1 medium)
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup apple cider or apple juice
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons stone-ground mustard
• 1 20-ounce package refrigerated red potato wedges
• 1 pound cooked smoked turkey sausage, cut into bite-size slices
• 1 14-ounce can Bavarian-style sauerkraut*
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries (optional)

In a 12-inch skillet cook and stir onion in hot oil over medium-high heat for about 8 minutes or until tender. Sprinkle with flour. Cook and stir for 2 minutes.

Stir in apple cider, broth, and mustard. Add potato wedges, sausage pieces, and sauerkraut. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, about 20 minutes or until thickened and bubbly and potatoes are tender. If desired, stir cranberries into the sausage mixture. Spoon sausage mixture into dishes; serve immediately. Makes 6 servings.

*Note: If Bavarian-style sauerkraut is unavailable, substitute one 14.5-ounce can sauerkraut plus 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds.

Hodge Podge notes...I used organic apple juice that I seasoned with the William-Sonoma cinnamon spice blend to resemble cider.

I also followed the directions and made my own Bavarian style sauerkraut-- highly recommend. Don't just used plain kraut as it lacks the flavor necessary in this dish.

Instead of turkey sausage, I accidentally bought actual precooked bratwurst (thought I was buying turkey brats-- I do this kind of thing ALL the time), which was delish and definitely an option if you have leftover brats from a cookout... or you just love the real thing.  

I didn't spend the $5 for precut potato wedges, just use 3-5 scrubbed red potatoes and save your pennies.

And finally-- If you have them at home, add the dried cranberries!  I always keep a bag around because I love them on salads & oatmeal, they offer a great balance of sweet to the skillet. Also, don't add them at the end, put them in when you add the sausage and let simmer. They get juicy. You won't regret it.

Eleven Things

So my awesome friend Lori tagged me in a blog post over at her amazing blog A Little Slice Of Special. Check it out when you're done reading mine :)

There are five rules

1. Post these rules:

2. Post a photo of yourself and 11 random things.

3. Answer the questions set for you in the original post.

4. Create 11 new questions and tag people to answer them.

5. Go to their blog/twitter and tell them you've tagged them.

First, I would like to clarify that I'm terrible at taking self-photos because my camera is a smart phone without a camera that switches.... so I have to stand in bad light in front of a mirror.  Failsies. This was me messin' with an up-do for my long hair........... which will be gone in 12 hours as well as (gasp!) RED!!!  It was my hubby's idea-- I love that man :)

11 Random Things you may or may not know about me...

1. I was frightened into never dying my hair-- my mom made it very clear I was never allowed to while living under her roof and also made it seem like once I dyed my hair I'd never have my blond color again. Very dramatic.  I did highlight it during summer 2010 but didn't love it enough to keep it. And I always wanted pink streaks!

2. My mom gave me a severed deer leg from knee to hoof as a toy (no, we weren't poor or trailer trash).  My grandpa had found it in the woods, petrified, and my then 12 year old mom wanted to keep it and apparently turn it into a family heirloom.  You could see the bone, the fur had maintained its color... writing this makes it sound so fucked up, not gonna lie.  She still has it too.... for the grandkids.

3. Had a nose ring from 18 to 21. Loved it.

4.  As a kid, I had a reputation of messing up my weekly Blockbuster VHS rental.  I ended up renting "The Last Unicorn" and "Bingo" both of which got shut off by my mom because of the language.  They said words like "damn" "hell" and "shit." My little brother gave me both the DVD's as recent Christmas presents so I could finally finish the movies!  I also accidentally rented the NC17 "Pocahontas" (yes, it exists) because someone had switched the tapes. Wonder if my brother'll find that one.

5.  I'm secretly a jazzy pop singer waiting to happen. (I kind of want to be a backup singer and a voice actor... seriously)

6. My husband is my first real boyfriend, the only guy I've ever slept with (TMI?), and second guy I ever dated or kissed.  And we became a couple during dinner on our first date.  That's how I roll.

7. Kind of tried meeting up with a few guys from MySpace. And actually met up with 3. One was an asshole and a memory I'd like to forget, the second was conceded but amusing, and the third will be a lifelong friend. Love my friend Patrick. (My brother did worry about me that summer though)

8. I owned albums of Britney Spears, NSync, Backstreet Boys, Melissa Ethridge, Paula Abdul, Creed, Ace of Base, Spice Girls, and Nickelback. Yeah.......................... but I still love Ace of Base and Spice Girls!

9. Never broken a bone. Knock on wood.

10.  When I had my tonsils removed, the doctor told me only 1% of all patients have complications. Yup, I'm that kind of person. So when I was 8 I had them removed, told the nurse afterwards that I kept having to swallow something, but they sent me home anyway.  A few hours later I was throwing up blood at home and when the ER wouldn't see me immediately I threw up more blood in their garbage can. That got their attention.  The doctor tried re-doing the stitches while I was awake and I had to hold a stick in my throat. Fun.  Needless to stay I was put back into surgery and stayed overnight.

11.  I love the anime show "Fairy Tail" so much that my husband and I want to seriously get their emblem tattooed on our bodies. But I want to do a special individual design for each of us because guess what... I draw and need to embrace that fact.

Here's what Lori wanted to know--

1.  What's your favorite color-and why?
Light Pink (any pink really) because it's feminine and sweet. Also it looks cool in hair.

2.  What's your favorite song of all time?
This is a terrible question because I CAN'T PICK FAVORITES!!!!  I'm unbelievably indecisive. I've changed my tastes in music many times since I was kid (mostly because as I got older I was allowed to listen to more "adult" stuff... stupid parental warnings).  Here's what I will love for the rest of my life: "All I want is You" by U2, "Maps" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, "In the Bleak Midwinter" performed by Julie Andrews, "Edelweiss" from Sound of Music, "Rainbow Connection" by Kermit the Frog, "Closer" by NIN, and "Creep" by Radiohead.  

3.  Favorite guilty pleasure?
Food/Drink wise: Diet coke with Lime-- I have one every day.  Otherwise... I don't feel guilty about any of the weird stuff I watch/listen to/ read-- own it baby!

4.  What was the name of your first pet, how old were you when you got them and what were they?
My first pet was/is Niko, a Russian Blue cat. I was 23 when my husband and I adopted him from the Anti-Cruelty Society. Love my little baby boy.

5.  Who was your best friend in 5th grade, are you still friends with them?
Not gonna lie, I was kind of a "best friend whore"-- I went through them like water.  I reached a point in my life now where I don't really believe in best friends... it seems unfair to your other good friends, and who wants to rank the important people in their life? Anyway, I think it was a toss up between Vicki Philips/Beth Franco/Katie Overum.  I have no idea what happened to Beth, Vicki and I are "friends" on FB, and Katie & I spoke once about 6 years ago randomly.


6.  Of the places you've lived where was your favorite?Chicago, baby!  One of the greatest, most beautiful cities in the world. I promise. Though I haven't quite started a full life in LA yet so I'm withholding judgment.


7.  What has been the best place you've traveled?
Haven't been to too many places, in fact I spent my childhood going to Disneyworld every other year. Note: that was NOT a complaint.  Besides WDW (it really is one of the happiest places on earth), Washington D.C. It's beautiful, clean, interesting-- I didn't get enough time there when we stayed a few days on our family tour of the eastern U.S. but I haven't forgotten how beautiful that place is....

8.  Name one item on your bucket list.
Go to the airport with a carry-on, pick a place, and go... FIRST CLASS.


9.  What's your favorite blog?
Um... I love all the blogs I read. They're all so different! Little Slice o' Special is all about fashion/health/beauty, CupcakesOMG is f'in HILARIOUS, Is It Naptime Yet is sweet and fun/great parenting observations, Reading List has interesting book reviews, Simply E3 is insightful and pretty... Yeah, I'm not picking a favorite. And you can't make me!

10.  What's your favorite scary movie?
Ugh, I hate current scary movies.  Blood & gore do not appeal-- I'm old school.  Top 3 in no particular order: "Night of the Hunter," "Wait Until Dark," and "Strangers on a Train" If you don't know these films, look them up then watch them. 

11.  Bigfoot, Nessie, etc...real or not real?

Government conspiracy.

Now youz better answer my questions!!!

1. What celebrity are you DYING to meet and why?
2. What was the best concert you ever went to?
3. What was the first big "adult" purchase you ever made and how did it feel?
4. Dream vacation... GO!
5. First real crush and did you do anything about it?
6. What's your favorite film? Worst film ever made?
7. Most embarrassing moment?
8. What era would you live in and why?
9. Got any weird cravings/ food combos you absolutely love?
10. Would you ever get plastic surgery? If no, why not? If yes, what?
11. Top 3 books and why?

I'm Tagging...
