Being Resourceful

Today was fun! I almost didn’t take a lunch break, because I was on a roll!!! Don’t you love those kind of days?!

After I finally got the house back in order and rearranged out fireside room. I broke for lunch. I got some inspiration from my Better Homes Magazine and I really like the way the chairs look in this position.

I am so loving these chairs!

I also had some leftover waters from our Christmas parties and decided to use them as decoration It’s all about being resourceful.

We desperately need to re-do our fire place!

Kitchen cleaned!

New fruit bowl. I used an old platter we got for our wedding

 

I also put out the fun appetizer tray I got from my brother for Christmas. It fits perfect our our bar area. I love white bowls.

 
I also displayed all of our Olive Oils and Vinegars. I am starting to collect them.

I was set on getting my new marathon medal holder up too, but I am stuck on where to hang it?!

I am thinking the empty wall in the hallway might be just the right place.

LUNCH

Can you believe that I have not had to the go to the grocery store in almost two weeks! Thanks to our costco trip For lunch today I enjoyed a lovely Veggie Sammie and Bowl of Chicken Corn Chowder. These avocados have lasted a really long time!

Chicken Corn Chowder from Costco.

Chopped peppers for crunch.

Perfect!

Ok now it’s perfect Hubby filled my stocking with these little babies, they are the perfect amount of indulgence for my sweet tooth.

DINNER

Love that I was home to make dinner tonight. I went with my favorite GO-TO-MEAL!

 

In the oven for 20 minutes at 400 degrees. Then in to the broiler for 3 minutes. 

 

I sprinkled my tofu with some Cowboy Seasoning I got from one of my Co-Workers for Christmas.

It went really well together. I loved the kick it gave to my tofu. I baked my tofu for 20 minutes at 400 degrees and then threw it in the broiler for 3 minutes for some extra crispiness.

YAY for sitting together at dinner!!!!

Nothing like dining by fireside.

While Hubby watches the ULTIMATE PLAYOFF GAME, I am relaxing by the fire and getting my week planned.

In hand is another one of my Starbucks Drinks from the Grandparents.

I think this might be by far the BEST hot chocolate I have ever tasted. The perfect amount of sweetness and salt..who would have thought!!! I must find this in the store!

Where I will be for the remainder of the evening

Back to work tomorrow!

Nite Ya’ll
