Mini Chicken Pot Pies

Ok I love this idea because its fast and easy and you can make so many different things with it! The mini chicken pot pies recipe I pinned is not really a recipe but more of a suggestion so I will just tell you what I do.

First boil 4 large chicken breast for 20-25min and then shred. Next mix a bag of veggies (carrots, peas, corn, green, beans, etc) with a can of cream of chicken soup. Add seasonings ( salt, pepper, garlic pepper, or whatever else you want) You can add minced onion or saute 1/2 onion and put it in the mix. I like to put in a fresh onion. Mix in some shredded cheese. Now mix Bisquick like you would for a biscuit with about 1 1/2-2 cup of the mix an egg and 1cup milk.  Then grease muffin tin and pour 1/3 full of batter, add  chicken/veggie mix and then some more batter on the top. Make sure not to put to much in cause it might overflow. Bake according to the Bisquick directions or until it is golden brown. They should be able to pop out of the tins when you are done. That's it and I love how basic the ingredients are and how good it is!

But that is just the beginning. You can add different ingredients to make Shepherds pie or add fruit and make it a desert! The options are nearly endless. Try this I know you will like it. Happy Pinning.

Stenciled Table

I needed a knew Kitchen table but did not want to spend a lot of money, like most people, so I went on Craigslist and stalked furniture adds for weeks! While at the same time i was surfing Pinterest for fun crafts and came upon this little gem from Domestic Imperfection that caught my eye.

 Finally I found one that was the perfect size and most important... PRICE. I gathered all the materials at Home depot and Michael's.
First I did a light sand just to get the glossy finish off which didn't take much. Then i started with the stencil, which let me tell you can be a real pain, but i got it on there! Then i put the Stain of the top of the stencil and started to freak out.....! Everything went dark including the stencil. On the tutorial from Pinterest she sanded between the stencil step and the stain step. I choose to skip over that part because I don't own a sander and I thought it would take the paint off. So I waited in anticipation and found that the stain did lighten after a while and then after I put on the polyurethane coat it actually took off the satin a bit allowing the stencil to show through! (Few!!!) I know mine doesn't look exactly like hers but I still love it! Here is my before and after shots. Happy Pinning.

Fiesta Crockpot Chicken

I was looking for something quick to make one day and so I made a list of basic ingredients I had on hand and found this recipe that worked out fabulously! It was right there in the title, "Easiest Dinner Ever". I was sold and she was not lying, it was easy, and so good! There is an option of serving it on rice or a tortilla, we did both because there were plenty of leftovers. However, for those that want or need a carb-free option, I think it would be great on top of lettuce.
DISCLAIMER: Because i like to keep things spicy I added to this recipe, a little of Cumin, chili powder and jalapenos. Ole´! You can choose to add this if you dare... : ) Happy Pinning.

You know how everyone complains about people wasting time on the internet. I hear a lot of people talking about how guilty they feel for spending hours Facebook? Well I am one of those people to do find Facebook very pointless and counter productive but there is one time draining site I can get behind and that is Pinterest! I love it and I have to be on there daily, and what have i got from it? I Not much really just a better wife, sister, Mom to be, Friend, employee, gym-go-er, amateur baker, chef, organizer, crafter, chef, go to person for quick easy tips on how to remove a stain, church go-er, furniture refurbisher, and flat out a better person in general! But that is just my opinion. In my blog I will be taking what I find from Pinterest and putting it to the test with pictures and tutorials so you know what recipes work, which craft projects are truly "quick and easy to make" and any other thing I find on there. (Yikes)....Enjoy! Happy Pinning.
