Balsamic Chicken Bake

I have recently discovered a love for balsamic, so when I came across this recipe while scrolling through Pinterest one evening, I had to make it!
This bake has it all: veggies, chicken, cheese, and balsamic flavor!
Best part: simple and easy! You know me, I love quick weeknight meals that do not involve a whole lot extra.


Ingredients:

• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 4-5 garlic cloves
• 1 cup fresh basil
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tsp. balsamic vingear
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms (I bought a small can in the veggie aisle)
• 1 package cherry tomatoes (sliced up)
• 1/2 red onion, sliced
• handful of mozzarella and handful of parmesan (or to taste)

Make it:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Brown the chicken in a pan.
• In a blender, mix garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and water and pulse until pureed.
• Place the browned chicken in a casserole dish and top with garlic and balsamic mixture, mushrooms, onions and tomatoes.
• Bake about 20-25 minutes until chicken cooked throughly and dish is heated through. Top with cheese and bake for another 5 minutes or until melted (and brown if you'd like!)
• Eat with rice and a salad on the side!!

**one thing I may try different next time is I may just try drizzling with balsamic dressing and season with garlic and top with veggies and see how that turns out... one less step!

Leopard Cardi Style

Ahh... my love of leopard! Sometimes I am not sure which is more out of control... my love for all things leopard or my obsession with stripes. My lust for leopard grows deeper though with this PERFECT cardigan! It is great for layering and leopard really is a neutral so it goes with basically everything; chambray, plaid, gingham, stripes, basics.... you name it! Where can you grab your own!?!? The one and only Target of course. #targetdoesitagain

Don't be afraid to play around with different patterns and colors or throwing in some accessories to spice things up. This cardigan has become super popular on Instagram and even had it's very own day: #leopardcardiday. Check out the hashtag on IG for more inspiration on ways to wear this adorable little guy. 

Now, go get yours today at your local Target or online here

Miss New "Bootie"

                 

A Fall Must Have: ankle boots!

I am totally digging all the love I have seen when it comes to ankle booties this Fall. They are the perfect way to dress up an outfit, or even to compliment a casual one!  I can't get enough inspiration on Pinterest on how to wear them and how to style them. It is such an adorable look and perfect for pretty much any occasion!

There are so many different variations when it comes to the ankle boot.

I have featured 4 different styles: wedge, heel, flat and "boot" or small heel. And, you don't have to break the bank to achieve this Fall fashion... all these looks are under $50!

Here are some of my favorite ways to wear them, as seen as Pinterest...

Happy Saturday ladies!!
