I recently stopped into one of my favorite store, Stile, in Armonk. The owner Julie Root, has the most amazing taste. The store is full of fashionable finds at the most amazing prices. I left with a bag full of stuff! Some for me, some for my girls and a few gifts for friends. I took a bunch of photos of some of the new fall arrivals but new things are still coming in every day so you have to check it out yourself!!! Happy Shopping!!
Today’s Book Club Monday’s choice is A Simple Favor by Darcy Bell. I chose this book because it has been made into a movie starring Blake Lively, and Anna Kendrick, that will be released this Friday and I am dying to see it!!! But first I want to read the book….Here is the summary:
A single mother’s life is turned upside down when her best friend vanishes in this chilling debut thriller in the vein of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train—now a major motion picture from Lionsgate starring Anna Kendrick, Blake Lively, and Henry Golding, and directed by Paul Feig
I love when other bloggers and You Tubers post their Trader Joe’s hauls. It’s so interesting to see what people choose. I thought I would do my own Trader Joe’s favorite items post. Some of these I have tried and loved and others I am planning to get on my next visit. Since it is the weekend, I thought you might be motivated to stop by Trader Joe’s and try some of these favs!!!! Bon Weekend!!!
As I was going through my saved back to school easy recipes, this Tuscan Garlic Chicken popped up. I have been meaning to try it for ages but never seem to have what I need. I just added the ingredients to my shopping list. I am going to make it next week. I am sharing it today in case you want to try it too!!!!
- 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- ½ cup parmesan cheese
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- ½ cup sun dried tomatoes
- In a large skillet add olive oil and cook the chicken on medium high heat for 3-5 minutes on each side or until brown on each side and cooked until no longer pink in center. Remove chicken and set aside on a plate.
- Add the heavy cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, italian seasoning, and parmesan cheese. Whisk over medium high heat until it starts to thicken. Add the spinach and sundried tomatoes and let it simmer until the spinach starts to wilt. Add the chicken back to the pan and serve over pasta if desired.
Following up with yesterday’s post of neutral fall decorating..I found some cute, inexpensive things on Amazon that coordinate with this theme. I ordered a couple of these but might go back for more.
I started off with these small pumpkins and gourds
And then incorporated some larger ones
They also had some mercury glass pumpkins (and these light up!!!)
And this shape too!
I love these pillow covers!!!
These glass pumpkins would also look great!!!
I cannot wait to add these antlers to the mix!!!
I am going to scatter these greens throughout.
And while we are decorating, how cute is this side table!?!
Or this one!!!
How about this chic console table!?
