Here are five random, but Chic things from this past weekend:
1. My new Crate and Barrel Plate
I kind of want to get one in every color now.
2. My mini Coach bag
I can’t believe I actually squeezed everything I needed for a night on the town in this tiny bag, because it’s basically the size of my iPhone. It was so worth it though – it’s hard to dance when you’re holding a giant bag!
In the bag:
- iPhone
- lip gloss
- business card holder containing: ID, credit card, cash, business cards
3. Trader Joe’s Cinnamon Rolls
Growing up my family always made those yummy refrigerated cinnamon rolls from Pillsbury. When I started actually reading food labels a couple years ago, I swore them off, much to hubby’s chagrin. Although these Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls aren’t healthy at all, I like to think of them as a better indulgence than their more processed and preservative-laden “cousin.”
4. Bailey
Bailey is always chic. Here he is watching hubby doing yard work. Good guard-doggy!
5. Homemade mac and cheese
Hubby and I often use Annie’s mac and cheese when we want a quick meal. But this weekend, when I realized we had a bag of open shredded cheddar and elbow macaroni, I decided to see if I could do a relatively quick and easy from-scratch version.
I did a play on dad’s famous mac and cheese recipe and you know what…comfort food win! It was fab. I still prefer dad’s version because of the pulled, gooey cheese factor, but this was great for Sunday’s chilly afternoon.
What’s something chic from your weekend?

Gluten free chocolate brownies.
Oh, macaroni. The gooier, the better.
My “chic” thing from the weekend was homemade sangria at Azteca, a little Mexican restaurant that we went to.
I’m a sucker for good sangria!
my chic thing was the most amazing nacho bowls we made (recreated from a meal we had on vacation!)…post to be up next week sometime. SOO fun and good
Happy Monday!
Coach has a 30% coupon that was just for this weekend. More than once, I had to talk myself from the ledge to keep from rushing into the store. Now I am cursing my decision!!
They’ll have another coupon. And I think this little mini tote is a classic style for them, so they should have more. I got mine on sale! Woohoo!
Those wristlets are key for dancing! I actually bought a cross body strap so I wouldn’t have to use my hand at all:)
Chic from my weekend? Strawberry beer!
Ooh i love the cross body strap idea!
I love your mini-wallet/purse
So cute! your pictures are really pretty too.
Chic thang from my weekend? Awesome homemade chicken enchiladas!
Wowie–those cinnamon rolls look amazing!
It was so totally my falafel find at the new Whole Foods salad bar! I bought it in bulk and have been grilling them and eating them every day since!
my walk in the woods with friends!
Are YA gonna post the mac and cheese recipe reciple?! Actually maybe you shouldn’t…hahahaha. My weight-loss might thank you! Ha.
Beautiful photos, BTW!
I probably won’t post this one, but I will post my dad’s Mac and Cheese recipe. I’m having a hard time deciphering it because it had zero measurements. So, I pretty much have to make those up and they’re kind of different every time! lol
Thanks doll!
i caught up with family, it was awesome.
um, do i spy a corn dog?
Yes, I love a corn dog. Pretty much only the corn soy dogs from TJ’s though. Real hot dogs generally scare me. lol
I love this post!
I would have to say all my fun outlet mall finds! I got some great stuff and I can’t wait to use it!
Ahh pumpkin spice lip gloss!! My fav!!!
Those cinnamon rolls look yummy.
I’d have to go with white chocolate peanutbutter and chocolate.
The Peanut Butter & Company white chocolate PB??? I love that stuff!
Yes! That stuff is so good.
I have yet to try the cinnamon raisen or dark chocolate yet.
Yes! DCD was my first of their collection!
I lurve that stuff!
I’ll have to try that one next then! Everytime I’ve decided to get it, the store would be out.
I wish I could come across the crunchy kind. The stores around here don’t have it.
I think you can get it online. Maybe try the official web site or even amazon!
I’ve actually never thought to do that! I’ll give it a try. Thankyou.
It looks like you get a discount if you buy in bulk. Here’s a 6-pack on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Peanut-Butter-Co-Chocolate-16-Ounce/dp/tech-data/B001GQ3E3M
Btw, the cheapest I’ve seen this stuff is at Walmart and Target!
