Mrs. K Day

In honor of my 28th (yikes!) birthday, I feel it is appropriate to share some of my favorite photos of me with you! (Photos are in no particular order, as blogger.com is not easy to upload to!)

Snow tubing at a local park in February 2008.

Christmas 2009. Our first Christmas as a married couple!
Piper puppy climbing all over my head and eating my hair. Yummy!

Christmas 2008 with Buddy the Elf

Yankee Game in 2008 at the Old Yankee Stadium (my cousin and his girlfriend were in town and are Blue Jays fans). I think the Yankees lost to the Blue Jays but am not certain, I think I have blocked it from memory!

Our honeymoon in Aruba - our 3rd trip to Aruba!

Another Aruba honeymoon picture. My mission on the trip was to only consume beverages that matched what I was wearing. Mission: Accomplished!

July 4 weekend 2008. Rocking the Kanye glasses.

Our first Yankees game together - Aww! May 2007

Just being goofy trying on enormous goggle shades at a sunglass shop in Aruba. This was our first trip there - June 2007

So much fun! This was us at a wedding in Hartford in 2007. I saved for like 6 weeks to buy that Nicole Miller dress!

Getting zipped in on my wedding day! Thanks Miss R!

Bridal shower pic with my mom.

Trying on the sample of my wedding dress. It was the first dress I had ever tried on so I was overwhelmed and terrified!!

Another Great Weeknight Recipe

I really do not want my blog to become all about cooking and recipes but, as a wife, cooking is occasionally part of my job description.

Anyhow, I tried this Barefoot Contessa recipe last night after seeing her prepare it on her show last Sunday morning. The only substitution I would recommend is to half all the ingredients for the sauce/dressing. As is, it makes way more than you would need. I also added in some different veggies like baby corn and water chesnuts (found in the Asian food section of the grocery st0re).

Easy Peasy Weeknight Dinner Recipe

Months ago a friend emailed me a recipe for Rosemary Bell Peppers with Chicken which I finally tried around Thanksgiving time. This recipe is so tasty and easy it has become part of our weeknight menu!

Here's what you'll need:

1. Chicken breasts (I use the tenderloins, less cutting)
2. 2 bell peppers (I prefer yellow, orange or red)
3. 1 sweet onion
4. Fresh rosemary
5. 1/4 c. lemon juice (I use the bottled)
6. 2 tbsp. olive oil

Start but cutting chicken into 1 inch cubes. Cook in 1 tbsp. olive oil in a frying pan for about 5 minutes or until cooked through. Set aside in bowl and cover (I usually put it in the oven).

Cut peppers & onion into strips and sautee in remaining 1 tbsp. of olive oil in the same pan the as the chicken. When the veggies are wilted to your liking, add the chicken back in. Pour in 1/4 c. lemon juice and 1-2 tbsp. of minced fresh rosemary. Allow everything to simmer together for a few minutes.

Serve over pasta or rice or even on its own! Enjoy!

Thursday's Material Wishlist Vol. 7 (Tuesday edition)

Over Thanksgiving I ventured into a store I used to frequently shop back in high school. It's not one of my regulars but I found these awesome items below so I might have to add this shop into the mix! Here are my faves for Spring 2010:
