Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken Recipe

Last Friday, I went to Earth Fare and receieved my free chicken dinner. Everyone in my family loves roasted chicken, so this is the way I decided to prepare it. Roasting makes the skin nice and brown, yet the meat is tender and juicy. As you may know, there are many ways to roast a chicken using a variety of herbs, stuffing, or fruit, but today I am sharing the recipe my family uses.

Candelabra Before and After

Last week, I showed you my bedroom dresser with this candelabra on it:


It didn't start out looking like this though. When shopping, I pay more attention to shapes and styles rather than colors, since I know color can easily be changed. For example, you've probably seen these candelabras, which either come in silver or antique gold, at HomeGoods. Although I've always loved these, I have never

We hit a few of our favorite shops.....

Yep, we hit the jackpot! Normally, we do not shop like this, but the stores were well stocked and the prices were great, so we went a little crazy!


First we went to Ross Dress for Less. Even though this store has been located near me

A Sneak Peek: Decorating My Dresser

Hi everyone! If you visited yesterday, thanks for your patience while everything was a mess. You may notice I changed the entire layout of my blog. There is still a little tweaking left to do, so you may see some minor oddities in the coming week. I worked so long at my computer yesterday that I have a repetitive use injury in my shoulder. Don't worry, I'll be okay in a few days, but I won't be

Recipe: Almost Homemade Lemon Cake

As I mentioned a few months ago when I shared my chocolate cake recipe, I usually make desserts on the spur of the moment, so I always have cake mix on hand for a fast dessert. To make them taste more like a homemade cake, I add a few simple ingredients.

This cake was made before I began eating gluten free, so it calls for a regular lemon cake mix. For a gluten free version, use a gluten free

Recipe: Oven Fried Potatoes

Last week I shared how to make gluten free fried chicken with the promise you'd get my oven fried potatoes recipe today. This is my favorite way to make potatoes. You see, I am the only person on the planet who hates mashed potatoes. I like them fried, boiled, roasted or baked, but mashed poatoes are disgusting.

Therefore, I make this recipe quite often because they are easy to make, can be

How to Make A French Inspired Lamp


I have had a difficult time trying to locate affordable shabby chic lamps. You may have seen a a makeover on some lamps I purchased for my nightstands. When looking for a desk lamp, I had the same problem. The only lamp I wanted was a $70 crystal lamp. Not wanting to spend that much money, I knew I could probably create something on my own.

Finally, I found this lamp I really liked in The
