Main Dish Chicken, Strawberry, Spinach Salad

March 23, 2016 by Patti 15 Comments

When it comes to eating dinner my man is kind of a manly man.  He likes “real food” like you’d see on the box of a Hungry Man dinner (Ewwww)! He likes to feel full and satisfied after one of his 12 hour work days and believe it or not, this pretty Spring salad with high protein ingredients like chicken, avocados, cheese and pecans is one that satisfies.

12’s Chicken Bacon Mac ‘n Cheese

January 16, 2016 by Patti 22 Comments

Hi readers!  I’m so excited that the Seahawks have made it to the next round of the playoffs and are playing the Panthers in my home territory tomorrow.  I’ve been wearing my Seahawks colors proudly and plan to put my great BIG 12th man flag out in the front yard for the game tomorrow.  It will probably not even be noticed as this is more of a college ball town anyway. 

So here is the official Recipe of the Week for the Home of the 12s Facebook page.  This recipe is taken from Cooking Light Diet and goes along with my New Year’s resolution to lose a few pounds and get in shape. I don’t normally do a lot of recipes on this blog but have been kept hopping lately as the Seahawks just keep pushing on through.  Let’s hope that I’ll be back with more next week!

Mexican Chopped Salad 004

I’m still typing very slowly and very little as I TRY to rest the broken wrist. We are also still eating quickly prepared food because chopping is hard. Looking at my own pictures I can hardly wait to get back to spending a little more time in the kitchen and cooking THIS salad, as it really is delicious!

Blessings,

I found a bed, side table, and dresser on Marketplace and gave them all some painting love. The bedding and some of the other decor items were a result of shopping my house. The rug and a few other finishing touches were purchased new but all in all, this space was decorated on a pretty slim budget. The third picture is the view from the bedroom. Thank you Ashmore Homes for creating this beautiful new space. #coastaldecor #lakelifestyle #lakedecor #seasalt #sherwinwilliams #thrifted furniture #paintedfurniture #shopmyhouse #decoratingonabudget #lakeviews #ashmorehomes
