1. savannah. i'm in love with the spanish moss!
2. me with the boy.
3. i was telling lamar about the extreme homemakeover that happened in savannah and then a second later spotted it! isn't it beautiful? ty pennington and the team did a great job. i'm loving that fancy woodwork on the porch.
4. a trip to fresh market = lots of yummy foods like mango salsa, blueberries, delicious fresh-ground coffee, and this tazo tea.
5. then we came home and made this sweet, sticky, and spicy chicken. y'all have got to try this recipe! we made bacon wrapped asparagus, too. [except, we were too hungry and skipped the wrapping part]
6. then, we snuggled up, watched the food network and ate the yummiest blueberries in the whole world.
now, for the moment you have all been waiting for...
meet lucy
my room mate and i rescued her from a storm drain right outside of our apartment. she has been living there for months! poor thing. she is definitely not your average kitten. she is wild, but i love her. it is kinda funny because lamar has a kitten that was rescued from a storm drain last year, is the same age as lucy, and looks just like her. long lost sisters? maybe.
so, how was your weekend?

i hope y'all are having a happy monday! luckily, most of us get today off due to Martin Luther King, Jr. day. i'm so happy i get one more day before my first day of student teaching. i'm nervous, y'all! it is going to be a very busy semester and i just hope to do well. prayers for peace, organization, and success are appreciated!
i want to share with you this amazing recipe that was kindly given to me by my dear friend mary hannah. her mother made this for us on the weekend of mary hannah's engagement party and it was delicious.

chicken tortilla soup
this recipe is by far the best recipe i have tried for chicken tortilla soup.
it is very easy, really really delicious, and healthy for you.
it makes me feel warm just looking at the photos...
must....have....now.
instead, my dinner plans are going to consist of steam-in-the-bag vegetable medley and possibly some cookies. now that's a dinner for champions.
by the way, for the soup recipe, i always use a rotisserie chicken in place of the chicken breasts. it is already cooked and easy to shred, not to mentions delicious. oh, and don't forget the limes! trust me.
what are you having for dinner?

holiday baking.
1. the famous red velvet cake balls that are requested at every holiday.
2. katie's haystacks. mmmm!
i also made bacon wrapped cherries for christmas eve and they were a hit! anything wrapped in bacon is genius.
recipe:
1 lb of bacon [i used maple turkey bacon]
1 tub of candied cherries [you can find them in the baking aisle]
toothpicks
directions: cut bacon into 4 inch strips. fry bacon in a pan until almost done but still very limp.
wrap cherries with bacon and skew them with a toothpick and place on a baking pan.
bake in oven for 10 minutes. let cool for 5 minutes. eat.
what did you bake/cook for the holidays? i would love some new recipes!
