Snow Day Warmth

If you're in the Northeast you're more than likely snowed in and {hopefully} enjoying a snow day.  I didn't manage to get a full snow day but did managed to get off early yesterday and a delay this morning.  I had grand plans to clean, organize and declutter our house but I'm just thankful we didn't lose power, many in ARL did, and I got to sleep in a little. 
Here's one of my newest favorite song, by two of my all time favorites, the perfect pick-me-up to beat the winter blues.
Knee Deep
Zac Brown Band featuring Jimmy Buffett

And a hearty, easy recipe to warm your belly.

Chicken Pot Pie
(adapted from Bisquick's recipe)
2 cups frozen veggies, thawed
1 cup cooked chicken (I cheat & buy a rotisserie chicken from the store)
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
3-4 potatoes, washed, peeled & diced

For veggies: I use 1/2 can of corn, 1/2 can green beans, frozen peas, frozen okra, fresh (cooked) celery and carrots, 3-4 medium potatoes

Instead of using the Bisquick, which is good, I use 1 can of Pillsbury Grand bisquits bc they're more flavorful than Bisquick.
*if you're not using Bisquick you don't need the egg & milk.

Cook chicken & fresh veggies, if using.
Drain veggies.
Place the chicken and all veggies in large bowl.
Add cream of chicken with 1/2 can of water and mix together.
Pour mixture into a casserole dish to bake.
Seperate/peel apart the bisquits (I seperate 1 bisquit into thirds) and layer on top of the veggies & chicken.
Bake at 400 degrees for 35-45 minutes.
*You may need to cover w. foil towards the end to avoid burning/browning the bisquits/Bisquick.

DC Ladies - I didn't think it could get any better but Fornash is having an even better sale, this week only, the entire store is 40% off!

Crushin'

Charleston was absolutely amazing, except for the insane humidity {and I thought VA was bad!} but we didn't let that get the best of us!! It was such a fun girls trip and my sister was totally suprised. 
We started off our morning on Saturday with pedis and I discovered two new polishes that I just had to share. 
Essie Saint Lucia Lilac

Essie Saint Barths Blue

I'm not normally and purple and blue polish kinda girl but these two colors won me over. 

I also discovered this amazing band while in Charleston.  They. rock. and play everything from rapping Nelly to belting out Springsteen.  Total crowd pleasers.


Very sad I'm no longer in Charleston but excited for Greece in 4 days!
Hope y'all have a good week!

Tennessee State of Mind

Have you seen Lady A's (Antebellum) take on Easton Corbin's single I'm a Little More Country Than That? I must say I was digging the original but I'm also loving Lady A's preppy rendition.  
I love all kinds of music but my go to is county. Afterall, you can take the girl out of the honky tonk but you can't take the honky tonk out of the girl. Surprised? If you haven't checked out Lady A's new cd Need You Now, it's A-mazing!  One of my favorite tracks is Hello World.

Happy Thursday!  I'm out enjoying Music City and sipping on some sweet tea before my boring meetings begin!
