Thursday Favorite Things

Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party

Thursday Favorite Things. Share NOW. #linkyparty. #TFT #eclecticredbarn

Happy Thursday! I am so excited today since I am heading down to Davie (where I use to live) to visit some friends and spend the night at my friend's house. We try to get together every month or so. We always have such a great time together. We get take out and drink some wine and laugh and do facials. All that girl stuff. 

I hope the rest of your week is great and thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and share at our party.

Kung Pao Chicken

Kung Pao Chicken

We love Chinese food but our local Chinese restaurant closed so I have had to make some dishes at home to satisfy of cravings. I love to find meals that are quick and easy and this one fits the bill.  After making this dish, there's no need to get take out again. 

The original recipe called for dried chilies, but I did not have them so I used chilies in Adobo sauce.  

I don't often get to take great pictures since hubby is usually waiting to try the dish. He loved this recipe.

You're The Star - Extra Feature Week

Welcome to You're The Star  - Extra Feature Week

Happy Monday! I hope you had an enjoyable weekend.  For many it was a nice holiday weekend. Our weather was wonderful and so we spent most of last week painting the outside of my daughter's house. We are not quite done, but the major part is. Maybe one more day.

I think we all need this week to rest from all of the painting.  It is always nice when it is finished and it looks great. 

I hope your upcoming week is wonderful. Hopefully you will  find some great inspiration from the posts below.
