Creamed Sun-dried Tomato Champagne Chicken
At least twice a year I go through this phase of cleaning my diet. Like really cleaning out my system and habits. I asses all the junk, though it's increasingly becoming less and less, and consider how I can better my health if I completely eliminate that ...

Only One Time Square. Only One Broadway. {And a Saks 5th Ave Vid}

Christmas is a few weeks away and I'm totally beside myself! Why? I'm done with all my shopping. Seriously. For my entire family, my boyfriend (the hardest to shop for,) and even a little something for myself. I was inspired by the late Thanksgiving weekend an...
