obsession updates......

Well.... I am proud to announce that i already fulfilled 2 of my goals that i posted about last week ( well 3 if you say i have been under control on instagram :) )

Last week I came home from work and i had so many ideas for birthday parties (particularly a gift for my sister in law), christmas etc that i just couldnt sit still at home.  So after dinner i kissed my honey bye and went shopping!  After scoping out a few things for craft ideas i made my way to marhsalls homegoods and tried on 20 items and holy smokes batman i loved everything!  I was not expecting that to happen, so i had to narrow down what i was going to get!  i walked away with a cute pair of limited black capris, a bright blue limited tank, and 2 cute flowy purple tops.  All perfect for work or outside of work!  Mike insists i should have bought it all since i never find clothes but i figured that would be overload.  lol

Afterwards i went to the grocery store and got some goodies to make some sweets for friends and family this weekend.  I made these cute pink cupcakes.  I saw a similar black cupcake on pinterest and decided to make them girlie :)  then i also made oreo truffles that are seen on Bakerella's site

So yesterday i went on a cooking frenzie from my pinterest!  I made orange chicken , lasagna rolls, energy balls, and quiche cups .

The orange chicken requires you to batter and brown the chicken first before putting in the crockpot.  i thought it tasted pretty good.  it was a bit sour and while i liked it, michael was not a fan :(  fortunately i also made wontons and eggrolls so he wasnt complete starved!

The lasagna rolls we are having tonight, but instead of chicken, i used ground beef in the lasagna.  Can't wait to try it!

The no bake energy balls are awesome!  I packed 2 as a little snack for work today.  I doubled the recipe to make a lot and i used almond butter instead of peanut butter and i used dark chocolate for the chips.  I left the vanilla out because i felt it was sweet enough with the honey, chocolate, almond butter and coconut.

the quiche cups came out great.  My only advice is either use foil liners or nothing. i made the mistake of paper liners and a lot of it sticks so you lose a lot in each cup!  i also added salt, pepper and cilantro to mine and didnt add onion.  I also used the whole egg and not just the whites.  This meal was perfect because it was all the stuff in my fridge i needed to hurry up and eat and now i have my breakfasts made for the whole week!

I'll be sure to add my next pinterest adventures!
