Instagrammin'

I bought some new kicks today.  Usually, I go for function over beauty, but after pair after pair of blue and white I wanted some pink in my step!


So hot, right?


This past week, I've gotten a chance to make some recipes I'd bookmarked a while ago.

Including:


Easy Baked Parmesan Asiago Tilapia rounded out with corn on the cob, green beans and potato wedges.  The hubbs isn't a huge fish fan, but he LOVED this.  (Now if only I could smother green vegetables with butter and cheese and get him to eat those!)


30 Minute Lemon Brown Sugar Chicken  I've already made it 3 times.  Recently, I baked up some crispy eggplant that came out so crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside!

Crispy Baked Eggplant


eggplant, sliced into 1/2-3/4" slices
cornstarch
2 eggs, beaten
panko breadcrumbs
1 tsp sea salt

Preheat oven to 450*.  Combine eggs and salt.  Coat eggplant slices with cornstarch.  Dip into eggs then panko bread crumbs.  Lay on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until lightly browned.


I'm always late to the party.  But I joined instagram and am totally hooked.


Flowers from the hubbs.


Sadly, we can't make it to this, but the poster was so cool.


Hunter and his new toy.  I don't know who's more entertained, him or me.


Let's call it a tie.


If your dog ever rips out the stuffing of a toy a day later, try sewing water bottle(s) inside.  They love the crackling noise!


Snacks.  I <3 pretzels and mustard.


The tastiest amaretto cheesecake I've ever had!  Thank you Sarah!!


Oh, good thing I have pink sunglasses to go with the aforementioned shoes...


A little biker, a lot girly.


Remember when we went to Galveston beach for the day?  Instagrammed.

Uno mas:

The first iris to (ever!) bloom in my yard this spring.  I dashed out in the rain because I knew it would make for something gorgeous.

Have a lovely week!
