Deliciousness, Y'all

Ok, so my precious friend Jana just became a Pampered Chef consultant and had her first party last night. All of us girls got together, with Straw-ber-Ritas in hand, and watched Jana work her magic in the kitchen. We had so much fun and the recipe she made was too delicious not to share.

Stephanie, being the host, got to pick the recipe from the Pampered Chef website for Jana to cook. 

Let's just say she did a great job pickin'.
Delicious, Y'all.

I love a good girls night, no matter what. But when delicious food is involved, I love it even more. And I got to order some new kitchen stuff, which is always a plus, since Kendol and I spend the majority of our time in our kitchen. Naturally, I ordered a new piece of their stoneware bc I literally use my pizza stone every single time I cook. And I got some new, much needed measuring cups and measuring spoons. So excited. #nerdalert Not familiar with Pampered Chef? Do yourself a favor and get you a piece of their stoneware.
