Fresh Roasted Veggies…. Easy Peasy!

Easy Roasted Veggies

After all of the junk I consumed on Sunday while watching the Super Bowl, veggies were a MUST last night!!  I’m not even kidding, I ate enough to feed a small country.  So Monday was back to the gym and healthy eating.  This is the easiest and healthiest recipe EVER and perfect to be the side dish to any meal.

Easy Peasy Roasted Veggies

1 Red Onion

6-8 Red Potatoes

1 Zuchinni

1 Squash

1 Container of Whole Mushrooms

Olive Oil

21 Seasoning Salute

Salt/Pepper

Oregano

Minced Garlic

Preheat the oven to 375.  Wash your veggies and cut them up, I cut the onions in larger sliced, don’t dice and the potatoes in quarters.  Put the veggies in a bowl and drizzle olive oil over lightly, just enough to coat them.  Add your seasonings and garlic to taste and toss around.  Spread the veggies on a cooking tray evenly and place in the oven for 15 minutes then take them out and mix them around to cook the other side and cook for an additional 10 minutes.  Easy as that!

Jessica Simpson Boots

 

Well it’s rainy as all get out in Charlotte so boots were a must.  I was gifted these fabulous boots from my girl friend Jules on our girl’s trip to NYC a few weekends ago.  I really wish I carried boots at Olive! Surprisingly enough they are Jessica Simpsons.  Love love love them!

Rubba Dub Dub Such Good Grub

So again, being a complete Pinterest junkie I am in love with all of the recipes at my fingertips.   Well this little number popped up a while back and I have made it three times since.  It is AMAZING!!  I made a few changes to the original recipe, so below is the recipe I cook to make it a little healthier and hardier:

Slow-Cooker Chicken and Dumplings

Ingredients:

1lb of Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts (about 3)

2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter

2 cans (10.5oz) Low Fat Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup

1.5 can (14oz) Low Sodium Chicken Broth

1 medium White Onion, diced

1 Large sliced carrot

3/4 Bag of Frozen Peas

Trader Joe’s 21 Seasoning Salute

Salt

Pepper

4 Large Flaky Refrigerator Biscuits (half a can)

Place thawed chicken in crock pot and top with butter.  Add cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, diced onions, carrot and seasoning. Salt and pepper to your discretion.  Cook on High for 4-6 hours or Low for 8 hours.  Do not stir while cooking. 

Cut each uncooked biscuit into 9 small pieces and stir into the chicken mixture and add frozen peas.  Continue to cook on High for 30 minutes.  Remove chicken from slow-cooker and shred with a fork.  Return to slow-cooker and stir everything together.  Serve hot.

Now the key ingredient in almost ALL of my dishes is the most AMAZING secret!  21 Seasoning Salute from Trader Joe’s.  I kid you not, you can put this on EVERYTHING!  It is sodium free and is the only seasoning I use on veggies, fish, chicken and so on.  It looks like this:

Happy Friday All!!

Missoni Makes Me Smile

I love all the fab things that come in for Olive but this may be a top 5 pick!!  I LOVE these colors.  As I sit here tagging clothes for Revolve I received a new shipment for Olive (it’s like Christmas every time the UPS guy comes with my goodies).  Had to share before I post the rest…. Happy Tuesday all!

My super favorite dress {currently because it changes frequently} from my online women’s boutique Olive.

Hi My Name Is Amy And I’m A Glitterholic

Give A Girl The Right Shoes...

And the blogging begins… I should warn you all I am SUPER obsessed with Pinterest (if you don’t know what that is DONT START you will lose hours of your life) This is a pic that I “borrowed” off of there.  I could not agree more with the quote!

I have been overbooking myself to the point of mental exhaustion but as I sit and type this with the tiny free time I have, I smile and remember why I do it all, because I am grateful for all I have accomplished and everybody that has cheered me on along way.

I started an upscale men’s consignment store in Charlotte NC almost three years ago (Revolve) followed shortly by bringing an AIDS fundraiser that started in Charleston, SC to my new fab town called Dining With Friends.  I have since opened an online women’s boutique Olive and while now on the third year for DWF I am also co-chairing an Alzheimer’s fundraiser called Blondes vs Brunettes (hottie tottie girlies playing football for a cause heck yes), on the board for an AIDS/cystic fibrosis fundraiser called Brief and most importantly throwing a fundraiser with a few friends to go towards one of my best friend’s medical bills since she was recently diagnosed with Lymphoma (you can visit her site here Ab’s Fundraiser) {insert sigggghhhh}

Clearly I do not sit still very well. With all I have on my plate do you see why when I finally sit I smile?!?! ALL rockin things to be involved with.

Goal for the week: Figure out how to make sure I am balancing my life (yup LARGE goal this week)
