<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>Ingredients:<br />6 cups Rice Krispies<br />
1 bag (10.5-oz) miniature marshmallows<br />
¼ cup (2 ounces) unsalted butter<br />
2 cups creamy peanut butter<br />
1 bag (12-oz) miniature peanut butter cups (about 40),
quartered<br />
1 cup milk chocolate chips<br />
<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Directions:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1. Butter a 9x13-inch pan and set aside.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. Measure the cereal into a large mixing bowl and set
aside. Melt the marshmallows and butter together in a medium saucepan over
medium heat (or in the microwave for about 3 minutes, but keep watch so the
marshmallows don't puff over the sides of the bowl!). Pour the melted
marshmallow mixture over the cereal and mix well so the cereal is coated. Pour
into the prepared pan and use a buttered piece of wax paper to press evenly
into pan.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3. In the microwave, melt the peanut butter until thin,
about 1 minute. Gently stir in the quartered peanut butter cups and then pour
over the treats. Using the back of a spoon, gently spread the peanut butter
mixture evenly across the top.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4. Again in the microwave, melt the chocolate chips. Using a
spoon, drizzle the melted chocolate across the top. Place the pan in the
refrigerator to set before cutting and serving. Store in an airtight container.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
we spent an entire afternoon walking along the battery. it's an area of downtown charleston along the water that is filled with historic and beautiful houses. i kept stopping in the middle of the sidewalk and darting across the street because i saw something that i loved and wanted to snap a picture to remember.<br />
<br />
although i will never live in one of these gorgeous houses, there were bits and pieces that i can maybe sneak into our house someday.<br />

<br />
i am not exaggerating when i say it was the most perfect week. we were blessed to have the prettiest weather. we spent the days doing what we felt like doing. some days it was exploring. other days it was laying by the pool and walking along the beach.<br />
<br />
some highlights from our trip include:<br />
-the best mochas ever at Toast<br />
-exploring downtown charleston<br />
-boone hall plantation (letting our inner history nerds out)<br />
-paddleboarding (obsessed)<br />
-finding the best thrift store<br />
-walking along the beach<br />
-some really good food<br />
<br />
and now for some pictures...<br />

<b><i>Cinnamon & Sugar French Toast Bites</i></b><br />
<i>{recipe below from <a href="http://www.multiplydelicious.com/thefood/2010/08/cinnamon-sugar-french-toast-bites/">Multiply Delicious</a>}</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>3 tbsp sugar</i><br />
<i>2 tsp cinnamon</i><br />
<i>2 eggs </i><br />
<i>1/2 cup buttermilk</i><br />
<i>1/2 cup milk</i><br />
<i>1 tsp vanilla extract</i><br />
<i>pinch of salt</i><br />
<i>1 loaf of french bread, cut into 1 inch cubes</i><br />
<i>2 tbsp unsalted butter</i><br />
<b style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 20px;"><i><br /></i></b>
<b style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 20px;"><i>Instructions:</i></b><br />
<div style="line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>In a large bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.</i></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>In a large shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, milk, vanilla, and salt until blended. Place the bread cubes in the egg mixture and using a large spoon, toss gently until the cubes are evenly coated and all the egg mixture has been absorbed.</i></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>In a large frying pan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add half the coated bread cubes and cook, turning often, until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer the cubes to the bowl holding the cinnamon sugar and toss to coat. Repeat with the remaining bread cubes and 1 tablespoon butter.</i></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Divide the french toast bites into individual servings and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon-sugar. Serve with maple syrup.</i></span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="line-height: 20px;"><br />Suggestion:</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 20px;">*I had major issues with the bread sticking to the pan (I didn't use a nonstick). So I would definitely suggest using a nonstick pan for this recipe. I remedied it by turning the heat down and cooking them longer. But the first batch almost didn't work out because they were sticking so bad.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="line-height: 20px;"><br />This recipe is real good y'all. Put it on your list to make as soon as you can. I am thinking it will become quite a regular breakfast around here. </span></div>

<br />
<i> i want to do, make, style, think, and create. i want to challenge myself. </i><br />
<br />
i have a pinterest account where i pin beautiful and inspiring images over and over. yet, i have only made a few recipes from my food board. i have thousands of images that are pinned, that inspire me to be creative and make things...and yet i don't.<br />
<br />
i don't really know where this all came from. maybe that little question that was asked so passingly "what do you do to be creative" sparked me to really think about it.<br />
<br />
so here i am...making this commitment to myself.<br />
<br />

<br />
i have recently stumbled across <a href="http://baublebar.com/index.php/rewardsref/index/refer/id/108915/">bauble bar</a>...a website that has an assortment of wonderful jewels to be scooped up.<br />
<br />
many of these are going on my wish list. with my birthday and christmas coming up in a few months, i am definitely going to be hoping some of these end up in my jewelry box.<br />

a few weeks ago, A and I headed to my sweet state of kentucky to celebrate my little holly. she is getting married in a few weeks and we celebrated her and showered her before her big day. we squeezed a lot into a weekend and saw so many of our loved ones. i got to meet little babies, see my bestie with a bump (who has since had her little babe) and hang out with all of my favorite people. </div>

<br />
<br />
my recipe is:<br />
<br />
*8-9 strawberries<br />
*a handful of blueberries<br />
*a handful of spinach<br />
*1/2 cup OJ<br />
*a small spoonful of honey<br />
*a small spoonful of ground flax seeds<br />
*10-12 ice cubes<br />
<br />
Mix it all together in a blender. Pour it in a big glass. I usually stick it in the freezer as I finish getting ready for the day and then grab it and go. In my opinion, 10 minutes of making it is worth getting in a good serving of fruit and veggie first thing in the morning.<br />

<br />
this time, i want to talk about my favorite necessities for the gym. many times, you will find me in an old tshirt and running shorts. that is pretty typical. however, when i took on spin, i had to find some pants to wear for class. i picked some out and wear them every spin class. they are super comfy (not see thru at all) and fit really well.<br />

if i need to wear shorts, my favorites actually come from <a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=53935&vid=1&pid=898363&scid=898363012">old navy</a>. although i do love the color options that nike has, i just can't justify the price.

also, my little blue ipod nano comes with me to the gym. i can't do cardio without having music to motivate me to go faster.<br />
<br />
so there is a typical "what's in my gym bag" post. do y'all have any favorites that you can't go to the gym without? how about some of your favorite workout songs? do share!Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03515337532935525131noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8898580092693165879.post-6751107607241536262012-06-17T21:27:00.001-04:002012-06-19T19:58:52.252-04:00hakuna matatathe lion king on broadway is here in greenville for the next month and A and I were lucky enough to go see it last week. it was really wonderful. A had never been to a broadway show and this was a great starter for him.<br />
<br />
i might have sang the songs along with the characters. how can you not sing along with "hakuna matata" or "i just can't wait to be king"?<br />

"self - you are a product junkie and have a ton of crap you don't use." so one day earlier this week, i got to cleaning out the crap under our bathroom sink and pairing down the products that we use.<br />
and i'm actually going to show you the before. i'm sorry for the mess...<br />
<br />

<br />
so yeah....basically a disaster. that basket on the left was full of products that i sometimes use, sometimes don't. that basket on the right is full of medication (and goodness knows when was the last time i cleaned that out). so my mission was clear. not only did i need to get rid of stuff i don't use (and stop buying random products), i also needed to organize this so i could get to the stuff i do use more easily.<br />
<br />
it took me all of 15 minutes to go through everything in here. my bathroom trash can was full of old junk.<br />
<br />

<br />
as you can see, i got rid of a ton of crap and it is much more organized. now i can easily get to what i have and make sure to use it all up.<br />
<br />
i felt inspired so i cleaned out my perfume samples (i have a bunch) and also cleared out a few drawers in our storage closet where we keep a few more bathroom products and junk.<br />
<br />
i keep my make up and nail polish pretty organized anyway. i just went through to make sure any old products were tossed and organized the rest (in pretty little organizers i got from the container store last year).<br />

so that was my little organizational spree that i took on earlier this week. it felt good to clear out the old stuff and only keep what you use. my goal is to stop making random beauty product purchases and only buy the stuff that i know i will use.</div>

<div align="center">
</div>
i had heard of <a href="http://www.warbyparker.com/">warby parker</a> a few times just from reading blogs and being on twitter. so i decided to give them a try. they are a great company that charges great prices and also donates a pair of glasses to someone in need whenever someone buys a pair. so i was on board.<br />
<br />
wp has a home try on program where you can order 5 pairs and they ship them (FREE OF CHARGE) to your house. you get to keep them for 5 days and then send them back (again for FREE!). i actuallly did their home try on twice. i found a pair that i liked in the first set but then they released their spring line. so i had a few pairs that weren't around before to try on. <br />
<br />
i immediately knew when i put these little tortoise shell glasses on that they were the ones for me. i loved them and ordered them soon after shipping my home try on order back.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVtkjhFwXka_D8dokSDnxwPkW2eX5FbiD6zKOfw7yRPH1WE869reea00tV8dXKBomLqGye8hhuZcF_R9mjr-64MYWBzo70aKgGX3ZEpHgZs8LqU-2Oh-5M1V3y1VbDjfbPS9HJ4qprPvM/s1600/photo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVtkjhFwXka_D8dokSDnxwPkW2eX5FbiD6zKOfw7yRPH1WE869reea00tV8dXKBomLqGye8hhuZcF_R9mjr-64MYWBzo70aKgGX3ZEpHgZs8LqU-2Oh-5M1V3y1VbDjfbPS9HJ4qprPvM/s640/photo.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
and just cut them up however i could. i made big pieces to perhaps use as little cards (or perhaps stick in a frame like she featured?). i also cut some small pieces to use as gift tags.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheCgEqMn22NqGacyJ6rbYT3DSKn_9Ka5lOdzY6SlX9IYOgvnI9VSRZExLZdfJePdRxJgCTW-WXsVfsQK7K5x-X7br1J6vBpt_FpKn7mMNKKb6OjP-fy5ZrysIavyJkH-9k1C39xKKnUpE/s1600/photo3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheCgEqMn22NqGacyJ6rbYT3DSKn_9Ka5lOdzY6SlX9IYOgvnI9VSRZExLZdfJePdRxJgCTW-WXsVfsQK7K5x-X7br1J6vBpt_FpKn7mMNKKb6OjP-fy5ZrysIavyJkH-9k1C39xKKnUpE/s640/photo3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
pretty right? there was one that i couldn't bare to cut up. september. since A and i got married in september of 2011, i thought of a different use for this one.<br />
<br />
i added a little heart on our wedding date and am going to frame it and put it in a wall of frames. wanted to keep this one as a reminder of that wonderful day (and showcase that pretty design that was featured that month).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglJ3-tHcKW2UGhDMCtG-kXe6JNzYHPnXrH62T1WXCkX74mt-SAAm9eMFqNH38aBtrtdxcpDrXfGrcEb8N8vR1dCaecYtrTj5e1XYRyPYvDxeBVifQ3kqHcwvd8xKGyQJ5OAxfbp-wYxuU/s1600/photo2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglJ3-tHcKW2UGhDMCtG-kXe6JNzYHPnXrH62T1WXCkX74mt-SAAm9eMFqNH38aBtrtdxcpDrXfGrcEb8N8vR1dCaecYtrTj5e1XYRyPYvDxeBVifQ3kqHcwvd8xKGyQJ5OAxfbp-wYxuU/s640/photo2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
it's stored away safely until i start building a wall of frames someday.<br />
<br />
any fun craft projects y'all have been working on?Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03515337532935525131noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8898580092693165879.post-10549422542536495222012-02-06T22:27:00.000-05:002012-02-06T22:27:03.132-05:00lip arsenalremember {<a href="http://mynewsweetcarolina.blogspot.com/2012/01/resolutions-2012.html">here</a>} when i mentioned that one of my NY resolutions was to wear more lipstick? well it's because i have enough lip products to supply an army of make-up loving women. seriously. i tote around 12 lipsticks/glosses/balms in my purse every single day. i think i have a problem. so my goal is to use them way more so i don't feel so bad about the fact that i have so many! so i thought i would share my arsenal with you. <br />
<br />

these three clinique chubby sticks are my absolute favorites. i am really loving a colorful lip look right now and these are perfect to get one. i need to be brave and learn to wear them everyday (see one of my favorite bloggers <em><a href="http://taza-and-husband.blogspot.com/">here</a></em> - she rocks a lip all the time and i am jealous of her courage. it always looks so good!) <br />
<br />
next up are the balms that i carry around. apparently i'm a little brand loyal with my lip balms. all three are from fresh. the larger ones are no color. the smaller one (that i got for free with my sephora points) has a pinkish/red tint to it. <br />
<br />

and then there are the others. ones that i have toted with me for quite sometime. all collected over a few years (the laura mercier is new-ish. kinda like a balm but is very red. love to swipe it one with just mascara on!)<br />
<br />
