Orange et violet!

I love experimenting with color combination well this is something new to me. I normally stick to neutral colors and accessories for a pop of color. Today was a day to have a bit of Orange and Violet in my life. Another newbie is that I made my first homemade pizza. I made one with Turkey Pepperoni and Mozzarella for the kids, and mine was with fresh basil, red onions, mushrooms, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, tomatoes and arugula, it was delicious. Tonight I am planning to carve my pumpkin, I have a design in my mind that I want to try out. How has your Saturday been so far???

Friday's Black on Black!

I just came back from meeting a new baby that was born a couple of hours ago, everytime I get to visit the Northside Hospital a.k.a the Baby Factory I get the feeling that I want to be a mommy again crazy isn't it. But as soon as I walked out the hospital I forget about that completely.
Hope your weekend is awesome!
Here is what I wore.

What's cooking?? Zuurkool met Worst!

Tonight is Dutch night at my house. I decided to make Sauerkraut with Smoked Sausage for dinner. I make mine different, I like adding a little  something to spice up  my dishes. For this one I used peppered Bacon, and I added red onions to it.
This is a easy dish to make, I mashed the potato , mix the Sauerkraut, bacon and onions and I added a bit of cheese to it, you do not have to but I like mine like that.  The sauce on the sausage is curry ketchup.

Mustard , Chocolate brown and Skinny Jeans!

This is how my day has been so far. 5.30 woke up,  had an idea to color my hair (hopefully my hair stylist won't read this) dropped my oldest one at the bus stop, washed my hair, put in some rollers, blow dry it individually, then use the flat iron and the curling iron, woke up my youngest got him ready, made him breakfast, dropped him at the bus stop. Bought a cheese danish and a coconut water at Whole Foods for myself, ate it in the car while reading a Magazine. Went to Kohl's and TJMaxx tried many outfits but did not buy anything,  drove back home took pictures and now getting my blogging done.
It's gorgeous here in Georgia, I decided to wear a jacket over this top cause the mornings are a bit cool but it warms up in the afternoon.

Wednesday Inspirational words; The power of a Smile.

My moto has always been smile, smile and smile more. Even though your heart is aching, just smile. We have it so much better than other people in this world. I believe that the best thing to wear is a smile, it doesn't cost anything it's actually free and can brighten someone's day. A smile is infectious, a smile makes the other person more comfortable, it confuses an approaching frown. A smile is a language that everyone understands. A smile is an inexpensive way to change your look.
So what are you waiting...... Just Smile.

What's cooking; Steak, rice and peas and a delicious brocolli slaw!

I woke up early this morning to get the kids ready for school, (5.30 am) after that I layed in my bed thinking....... I was trying to think myself out of not going to the gym, (how comfy the bed was , how nice and soft the sheets were, how quiet and dark the room was) but in the end I was glad I went cause I always feel good after running a couple of miles and doing weights.

So after I had lunch and I rewarded myself by laying in bed and just be lazy for the day. With that said, I have no picture of what I am wearing, but let me share with you what I just cooked for dinner. I did get out my bed and made dinner:)

I made a broccoli slaw with apples and walnuts, for the dressing I mixed Mayonnaise, Dijon Mustard and a little bit of pomegranate organic vinaigrette by Organic Ville.  

 

For the rice I use a bag of yellow rice mix and added sauteed red onions, chives and garlic.

Before serving I added Organic Green Peas.

 

The meat I use, is Sirloin and I marinated it in a Organic Chimichuri seasoning mix

combined with olive oil, salt and pepper
