$500 Giveaway!!




I know I've been on the down low (or totally absent) lately, but I've still been able to contribute over at Ask Anna! I'd like to think that's o.k., because I need some time to get other things in order and unfortunately, blogging has to take a back seat! I've still been cooking and taking pictures of everything, so when I do get back to the bloggy world, I'll have a lot of belly rubbing recipes to share!

Today, I'd like to invite you to an informational, yet fun EVENT  (Public on Facebook) that I'm putting on with an amazing business partner of mine, Emily! Yes, one of the things I've been getting in order! I'm building my business to ensure I can stay home, craft, cook and continue to be a stay at home mom with my daughter!

We'll be giving away $500 worth of Rodan+Fields products! Maybe you've heard of them, maybe you haven't, but these products, from the doctors that created ProActive, are nothing to miss out on! They pack a powerful punch with results! I've continued to be thrilled with my skin and I'm 43 now!!

 This is after using a regiment for aprx. 8 months....but I'd be happy to share my 1 month results if you'd like!!

This is my one year picture!! I'm no Cameron Diaz, but I'm feeling pretty darn good for my age! Plus, it feels pretty darn good to help others feel good as well!
 

These products work for brown spots, dullness, sun damage, redness, sensitive skin, fine lines, wrinkles and so much more!!! What would you change??

I'd love for you to jump over and join the fun! {Remember, Kristy sent ya!}
If you're not on Facebook or have problems joining the event, feel free to email me @
kristyscupofjo@gmail.com !! I'll get ya hooked up and answer any questions you may have!!

Hope to see you there! AND....I hope to be back blogging, my happy place, when the Summer gets in full swing!!

 Enjoy!!
Kristy

Hardy White Chili~


 
This is an amazing Fall favorite in our house!
 My husband loves spicy, but my daughter and I aren't fans of the heat, so this is the perfect happy medium for our household!
 
This is another one that I got from my good 'ol BFF, Peggy from Las Vegas!
{Used to be Salt Lake City, but she's married now, woo hoo and moved!}
 
What you'll need:
 1 Medium Onion
1# of boneless skinless chicken breast
2 cans Great Northern Beans
1 Can chicken broth
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 cup of water
1 can chopped green chili's
1 can mexi corn
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp oregano 
 
 What you'll do:
Saute 1 lb of chicken cut up in chunks and 1 medium onion in 1-1/2 TBS of oil - {You can also use canned chicken from Costco and it works.... my girlfriend calls it the lazy way, I say for those without any extra time!}
 
Seriously, this is SO DARN GOOD!
 
Word of caution because everyone's taste buds have a mind of their own!...Although there's not a ton of "heat" added, the chopped green chili's do add a bit of "zip" to it when simmering! I've put it into separate pots for the "heat" sensitive, because it adds just enough to be considered spicy for some!
 
Enjoy!!

Upcycled Thrift Store side table~


 
My Mother-In-Law has an obsession with clocks! I haven't even tried to count the crazy amount of them in her house, so when I stumbled across this little guy, I KNEW it was meant to be!
I was at the thrift store trying to find something of a  "vintage" nature for a friend to wear for a Victorian show. On my way out, I walked passed this little table!
 
Immediately I saw sanding and paint for the perfect birthday present!
The process looked like this!
 
 
Now' I've ready many things out using different paint and not having to sand, but I've got it embedded in my head to sand, so therefore I do!
 
It turned out perfect and looks SO MUCH better black!!
 
 
Annnnnd....I'm back on the hunt for the perfect gift...
I liked it so much I kept it for our house!!
