Recipe Pins

Thanks to Pinterest, I have two new delicious recipes that I absolutely love!  First of all, this is the BEST chicken salad I have ever had.  This chicken salad has granny smith apples, pecans, craisins, and some other delish stuff!  I will make this again and again!

The other recipe is Barefoot Contessa's Lemon Chicken.  Yummo!  Such a good flavorful chicken dish!  I love anything Ina makes!

What good Pinterest recipes have you found lately?  The next one I am dying to try is Monster Cookie Dough Dip!  Just looking at this picture makes me salivate…

Little White Dress

Remember how I blogged a little while back about LulaKate for my bridesmaid dresses?!  (Which, by the way, came in, and my bridesmaids and I LOVE them!)  Well, I have more fun news regarding that wonderful brand!  Rob won a contest on Facebook from LulaKate... With prompting from his mom, Rob sent in our proposal story, which resulted in him winning one of their "little white dresses" for me!  Rob's and another proposal story won the contest.  (Click here to read the two winning submissions.)  Rob is a great writer (slightly cheesy at times) and he did a wonderful job sharing our story.  


Because I obviously can't share what my actual wedding dress looks like, I thought I'd share with you which little white dress I chose.  LK let me custom design pretty much any dress I wanted.  (Katey, at LulaKate in Charleston is simply wonderful!)  I decided to choose one of their bridesmaids dress styles and tweak it to make it the perfect rehearsal dinner dress!

The Margaret dress...

 In the Diamond Jacquard Fabric...

With a big bow on the back!

Thanks Rob and LulaKate for such a beautiful dress!  I cannot wait to see the finished product in a few months.  I'm so lucky to be marrying such an amazing guy and to wear such a gorgeous dress in less than 5 months!

Weekend Away

     We all deserve to treat ourself with a 3-day weekend from time to time, right?  Tomorrow my two roommates and I are going to Chicago to visit a gf!  Coincidentally, Rob is taking a 3-day weekend too, but to Phoenix with all his buddies… for his Bachelor Party!  Apparently there's some big golf tourney, so they decided to have his celebration a little early!  Cheers to weekends with the girls… and with the guys!!!
