This week's theme: This is MY Style

This week our theme is all about sharing your personal style through your pins.  I decided to link up several Polyvore sets that I have created, that I believe define my style.  I have never been one to fit in any one box, so you will see I love classic sophisticated, dressy casual as well as vintage glam.  

This outfit is inspired by where I am originally from!  The beautiful Pacific Northwest!

Jerry and I lived in Louisiana for a little over a year and it will always hold a special place in my heart.

Ahhhh San Diego.  My dream city.  Love it so much there.

I love vintage wedding dresses: ivory, lace, pearls and birdcages veils.

Love sparkles and my favorite color is blue.  Love eye-popping colors.

One of my favorite color crushes, turquoise and gold.

This is for the more professional events.  I like the simple black dress with dramatic shoes and jewelry.

And when I'm feeling most girly, I am willing to go all the way retro with vintage housewife attire.  

Betty Crocker, eat your heart out!

This week's theme: P.S. I Love You!

This week's theme is really open to your own creative interpretation, for me, I chose to think about the person who is constantly reminding me how much he loves me.  That person is God Almighty.

O.M.Y. {oh.my.yum} Featuring Sarah from The Fontenot Four!

Check out this delicious recipe from Sarah of {the Fontenot Four}!

On Saturday morning I was browsing Pinterest.I wanted a simple crock pot recipe for chicken.I wasn't feeling well.  I had thawed out chicken.  Had to cook it. But didn't want to exert a lot of effort!Ever have those days??I came across this pin for Cilantro Lime Crock Pot Chicken:Source: pipandebby.com via Sarah on Pinterest
I checked my pantry and, sure enough, I had the ingredients...pretty much.I had bone-in skin-on chicken breasts, not boneless skinless.I had dried cilantro, not fresh.I had lime juice in a bottle, not a fresh lime.Well, that worked for me so here is my version of this recipe! Easy Delicious Cilantro Lime Crockpot Chicken: So so nice to have a Kindle Fire to put on the counter for easy access to the recipe!!

Aside from the chicken, here's what you'll need:

A 24 oz jar of your favorite salsa.  I had a club-size bottle, so I measured out 24 oz.

The original recipe calls for the juice of 1 lime.  I did not have one, so I added 1 tbsp of "Realime" lime juice.

Instead of fresh cilantro {because I had none}, I used not quite 1/4 cup of dried cilantro.

Add 1 pouch of your favorite taco seasoning.

Blend everything together in your crock pot.

Throw in a package of boneless skinless chicken breasts.

{mine were bone-in skin-on, so I de-boned and de-skinned them before putting them in}

Cover the chicken with the salsa mixture.

Set the crock pot to low for 6 hours.

{about 4.5 or 5 hours in, I put it on warm}

Towards the end, I threw some white rice into my rice cooker.

Chicken is ready!

Serve the chicken over rice and top with the salsa mixture.

Not photographed: I then put some tortilla chips on the side and topped with some of the salsa mixture.  I added a generous amount of shredded "Mexican" blend cheese as well as dollop of sour cream!

This was so good that this post was supposed to go up Monday but I couldn't wait to share it with you!!

And before you say aren't you starting a fast??  Well, yes I am...it starts at sundown tonight.  This is not a Daniel Fast recipe, that's for sure.  And I enjoyed every bit of it! Enjoy!
My mouth is totally watering from this recipe: cilantro & lime---that is all you had to say!!  Thanks, Sarah for this delicious recipe…I'm hoping to get to cook this for my sister's family while I'm visiting with them.  :)  
Friends, you should totally visit Sarah's blog…this lady is inspiring in all that she does!  :)
