Thursday Confession

Hi Lovelies! 

I have a confession......I love back to school shopping, especially the school supplies. I made a quick trip to Target just to see what types of supplies I could find. I already had the planners, the one on the left is from Lilly Pulitzer (my school planner) and the one on the right is my Erin Condren Life Planner (my daily life planner). I also found the papermate flair pens that other bloggers have been raving about. I can't wait to try them. I also found some sticky notes that I can use in my planner, and a to do list and little menu planner. And of course I bought some notebooks and some filler paper. 

School supplies!!!

I cannot wait to start this class, it should be an interesting one. Well, it's getting late, so I had better say goodnight!

Goals for September

Hi Lovelies!

 I have seen the monthly goals posts for quite some time now. So..... I thought I would jump on the band wagon and join in. I have decided to work on 3 goals, which should be pretty manageable for me. We'll see in two weeks if I have made any progress on them.

So without further adieu here are my goals for September. 

September Goals:

1) Work out 4x a week

This will be a challenge for me as I am lucky to even work once a month. We'll see how this goes. 

2) Read two books a week.

I'm lucky if I get to read one book a month. I'm hoping that I can read two books a week, so we'll see how this will work out for me. I plan to take a couple of hours a night to read a book instead of always reading my textbook.

 3) Make time to work on my cookbook

I have been gathering recipes for my cookbook and I hope to begin writing it this month.

What are your goals for September?

Have a nice day! And Happy Hump Day!

Tasty Tuesday-Chicken Cheesesteak Sandwiches

Hi Lovelies! 

It's Tasty Tuesday again and I'm so excited. I have been playing around with the idea of making chicken cheesesteak sandwiched for some time. I have done some research on the recipe and I decided to combine two of them and I came up with an awesome recipe for the sandwiches. Both Husby and the Little loved them and gave them two thumbs up! 

So here is the recipe. Enjoy. 

Chicken Cheesesteak Sandwiches

 

Ingredients:

• 4 ounces, weight White Velveeta
• 1/4 cup Milk
• 2 Tablespoons Butter
• 6 whole Deli Rolls
• 1 pound chicken tenders, poached, then shredded
  
• 1/4 cup oinion
  
• 1/2 green pepper, seeded and chopped

Preparation Instructions:

First poach the chicken tenders in 4 cups of boiling water, about 20 minutes. Then take out, cool, and then shred. Set aside. 

Next, make the cheese sauce by combining the Velveeta and milk in a small pan. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it's melted and hot. Keep warm.

Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Throw in the chicken and move it around with a spatula.  Cook/warm for about a minute or so, then remove it to a plate and set it aside.

Add the remaining tablespoons butter to the same skillet and throw in the onion and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the veggies until dark golden and soft, about 8 to 10 minutes.

To build the sandwiches, place a pile of chicken on the bottom half of each roll. Top with pepper and onion mixture, then top with the cheese sauce. Place the top half of the roll on top and serve immediately!
