it was a sweet one

lecturing the bystanders........listen up kids....





no, i'm not talking about me, but thanks. last night 2 of my most fabulous girlfriends had a sleep over. (yes i said girlfriends, my mom constantly says that when she's talking about a friend or friends that happens to be a girl.......i hate it...i guess it rubbed off on me) any who, it started off with me walking through the door and instantly wanting to make sweet potato fries. since i'm the most domesticated friends, i said i kindly offered. sweet potato fries are seriously the best tasting snack. ever. so we made our way to the store, grabbed everything and any that made our mouth water and walked out the door. now of course i couldn't eat half the crap you crave when you're having a sleep over. and why yes your taste buds change you when have a sleep over, didn't you know that?

laugh over some spilled milk

see the funny thing here is this post wasn't supposed to be about some spilled milk, but rather soup. But right after I got cozy in my sweats and a cool Britney Spears t-shirt, I decided to make some chocolate milk. Well, it must have been a sign from the food god, "You don't need that milk..." (or just the cheap glasses)  but soon after I started stirring the milk......WAM! The cup broke. Yes ladies and gentlemen, The cup broke. 

So here we have Erica in the kitchen preparing to blog. And the milk spilled all over the ground. Obviously.

(if you're wondering, NO I didn't make another glass)




For the intended part of this post: Homemade Creamy Chicken Noodle and Rice Soup

AMAZING.


  • Chicken Broth
  • Water
  • 3 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 3 Carrots
  • 1 Package of Egg Noodles
  • Hot Sauce
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Garlic Salt
  • Crushed Garlic
  • Onions
  • 4 Potatoes
  • 1 Can of Corn
  • 1 Can of Cream of Mushroom
  • Rice ( any kind; white or brown)

Basically that's all your need. And basically chop, dice, shred chicken, and pour into a big pot. Let Boil, turn down to simmer. and WALAHH! Let it simmer for about 45 minutes

That easy and that simple. Just use anything you can find in your place, you can add seriously anything to this.

Oh and if you want a little something for the side. Try Jiffy's Corn Muffins. So easy and quick. Perfect little side treat.
shredin' away
(I have to say it again, my roommates are lucky)


See yall tomorrow.
Ciao. XOXO

mid day

I love baking. Well. Cooking in general. I really love it. Last night around 11 I started going crazy, wanting to invent crazy things. Luckily, Kallie's face didn't light up as much as I thought it would, so I didn't invent anything. I did however make some delish some scallop potatoes, hardbolied eggs for today, oh and I made this cinnamon cake type thing. It turned out soooooo good. When I finally awoke this morning, I had forgot I made such a mess.

So.

Today, WE cleaned. I'm taking a break right now, which explains this mid day post. Our room is finally cleaned, we must have had at least 250 clothe items on the floor. It was a disaster, so you're welcome floor for shaping you up.



As we did nothing last night, I stumbled upon on all these cool songs. I've been "widening" my music range. Kallie likes it...I think. I turn to her about every 5 minutes, "Hey look at this song...." "Wow, listen to this.." Blah Blah Blah. Really surprised she sticks around during these finds.

I checked the mail this morning.
"maaaaaaaiiiiillllllllllllll timmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeee"

I love mail. I don't get bills yet though, those get forwarded to momma. So I love checking the mail still. I hear once you get older you avoid the mail box. hm.

Momma mailed me some things. Mr. Cow came back into my life this afternoon. It was a horrid 4 days/nights without him. Now I'll be able to sleep easy. Yes, guys.....I really cannot sleep without this thing. Ok. So maybe I can, but I have to take medicine in order to fall asleep. This guy just puts me right to sleep.
(can't believe I showed you all this)

Oh and she mailed me some of this cool flash bronzer stuff. She really does love me.
Now that that's clear.
I'm going to go back lunch.
Egg and Olive sand which coming right up.


I'll leave you with this: try cooking something today, something you've never made.


Ciao. XOXO
