Cajun Chicken Pasta

I had the pleasure of having 2 of my favorite co-workers over for dinner last night!! I whipped up this super easy dish and let me tell you, it gets better every time I make it.  It was a hit….at least I think so, they didn’t eat a ton….or it could be that I made 2 lbs of chicken for 4 ppl – might be a bit much!   Continue reading

I LOVE tzatziki sauce.  I will pile it on super duper thick…its just so delicious and refreshing.  This recipe is from Tide and Thyme which is where I got the Chicken Gyro recipe from last week.  This is a really yummy sauce and its definitely super easy.  I am picky about my sauces as most of you know, so trust me, make it!

Mailbox Upgrade

So this is the mailbox that came with our house:

oldmailbox

First of all, is this set for a 5 year old to get the mail?  I mean why is it so short?  Did mailman Dan (yes, that is his name, he came up and introduced himself the day we moved in) have to get out of the mail car to put the mail in?  So for 2 adults 6 feet tall, this es noooo bueno.  OH and its ugly as crap – plastic post and all!

Shakerag Poker Ride Adventure

pokerride4Some, all, or none of you may know that I spend a majority of my free time with this tall, dark, handsome man – my horse, Ryder.  Along with Ryder, I am also fortunate enough to get to spend time with some fabulous people, who have truly become my second family.  Allyson & Scott own the farm where my giant baby puppy horse is kept – Sutton says he would happily trade with him for a day and live in his stall, Ryder can come live at home – so yeah, it’s a pretty amazing place :)

 Anyhoooooo,  Allyson & Scott are members of Shakerag Hounds which is an amazing group of foxhunting enthusiasts in Georgia.  This past weekend was their annual “Poker Ride”.  It’s a fundraiser for the group where they open the fields to all for a fun trail ride through the BEAUTIFUL hunt country.  There are stops along the way where you pick a card and at the end play your poker hand (hence the name of the event).  After the ride, everyone gathers in the club house for lunch, raffle prizes and to socialize!  It was such a fantastic experience and I met some of the nicest people and learned a lot about this wonderful, interesting sport. 

Can’t wait for next time!  xoxo Jules
