Afternoon friends! You know what I am going to say, right? I know- I am so transparent…
TGIAF!!!
I apologize in advance for the absolute randomness that is about to ensue. Bear with me.
I think I have mentioned before that I am the worlds worst baker. Sure I can throw together dinners with no recipe and just a glimmer of an idea in my head, no probs. But follow a basic recipe for cookies? Well, we all saw how that one turned out.
So what’s a baking-challenged gal to do? ENTER Niki & her 5 minute fancified Oreos. Peeps, check out how EASY, GORGEOUS and delicious these things are…even I couldn’t mess it up!
Step one. Buy fudge covered oreos, strawberries, chocolate chips and fruit flavored cream cheese.
Step two. Melt some chocolate chips. Cover oreos with cream cheese, half of a strawberry, and drizzles of melted chocolate.
Step three. Look like an amazing baking pro to your friends and family.![]()

THANK YOU Niki!!!
Ok next item on the agenda- SHOES!!!
Have you guys heard of ShoeDazzle? From the website-
Take our Fashion Survey:
It only takes a few minutes for us to get to know your style.
Our stylists pick 5 shoes for you:
Based on your survey results, our fashion experts provide you with a choice of 5 fashionable shoes each month.
Choose the pair you want:
We provide free shipping*. If you are unsatisfied with your shoes, simply return them to us using the pre-printed return shipping label provided with your order.
EVERY single pair of shoes on the site cost $39. And if you are into really cute shoes…you know that’s a steal. So, since you can never have too many shoes..TJ- EAR MUFFS…..I signed up ! What hooked me is the fact that if you don’t like any of the selected shoes for a given month, you just click SKIP and you don’t have to buy anything! Oh and did I mention that the founder of the company is Kim Kardashian. Love.
I got my first pair yesterday!! So excited. I picked out a pair of brown flats for work. I was extremely impressed with the packaging and the details the company covered. As you can see, the box is not only super cute, but very heavy duty so I can actually STORE shoes in it. So many shoe boxes these days are flimsy and last .5 seconds.
It also came with an extremely nice dust bag for the shoes.
Now, the shoes themselves…here is the picture online-

And the real deal-
Sorry for the blurry pic
ANYWHO- Verdict on the shoes-
They fit WONDERFULLY. They were super cute, comfortable, and perfect for work! I am soo so happy with my first ShoeDazzle experience & cant WAIT to see what shoes they pick out for me next month.
Moving on. Next agenda item. Thrown Together Dinner #3.
Baked Buffalo Chicken
1/2 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp black pepper
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1/4 hot sauce
2 bone in chicken breasts, skin removed
1. Preheat oven to 375. In one dish, combine breadcrumbs, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix to combine. In a seperate bowl, combine milk, egg and hot sauce. Whisk to combine.
2. First, dip chicken in egg mixture. Next, dredge chicken through breadcrumbs. Repeat. Place chicken on baking sheet & bake 30-40 minutes, depending on how large your breasts are (thats what he said?? Sorry I had to.)
Served with steamed broccoli, roasted garlic bread and some chicken/broccoli noodles that were dying in the pantry. And, of course, additional hot sauce
SOO yummy!
You can definitely use boneless skinless chicken, but reduce your baking time- probably to 15 or 20 minutes..I MUCH prefer bone in for baking- you would not believe how juicy these bad boys turned out.
Ok, blog friends, last item up for discussion- after work today I am going to see Mrs. Niki to get my hurrrr done. We have already decided on a new cut/style that I am supaaa excited about, but I can’t decide what to do color-wise! So I need your advice.
Blonde or brunette?
HAHAHAH!!
FYI- I VERY rarely just smile in pictures.
SO help a sista out! What do you think?
