4. Go-To Style

My go-to style is definitely the two strand twist styles. I use this style so much because it's very easy to set at night. I do 7 plaits in anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes. ALSO...another go-to style for me is the flower. I usually throw a flower in my hair as eye candy...to break up the monotony that is all this curly hair atop my head.

I'm trying to move away from using the flowers so much, thought. Finding flower hair accessories that aren't too kiddie-looking, fluorescent, or super huge is becoming harder. Plus, somebody told me that it looked silly...lol. Soooo, to kill two birds with one stone...I'm starting to just untwist my hair and go.

What do you all think??

Green Bean Casserole

I super love Green Bean Casserole. Green Bean Casserole is the first casserole dish I ever taught myself how to cook. I do it so effortlessly now and it never rarely seems to disappoint. I decided to share my recipe, although you can get it off of just about any french fried onion canister...I like to spice mine up with a special ingredient.

Unlike kale, I've had a chance to perfect this recipe. I've found that it's best not to deviate from this recipe in ANY WAY. It may taste okay if you switch some ingredients out for other ones, but I like it just the way I do it.

Ingredients:

1 can of Cream of Mushroom

3/4 cup Milk

French Fried Onions

2 cans of French Style Green Beans

Soy Sauce to taste

Pepper to taste

Steps:

1. Pour the cream of mushroom into a bowl.

2. Add enough soy sauce to turn the cream of mushroom a light brown color.

3. Add a couple of shakes of pepper then add milk.

4. Pour all the green bean juice (lol...water) out of the can before adding the beans to the bowl and stir.

5. Add about 2/3 of the french friend onions.

6. Put in a casserole dish (I use a 9.5 in round casserole/pie dish but you can use whatever you have).

7. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 mins (or longer if you'd like; how I feel determines how long I bake it).

8. Remove from the oven and stir then add the remaining french fried onions to the top of the casserole.

9. Bake for 5 additional minutes (or as long as you think it needs) and...voila!

I've done this enough times to eye a lot of this stuff, but you may want to stick to the recipe the first couple of times you do it. It's very delicious!! I could eat this stuff every single week! So, although I've cooked this meal casserole dish about three times since deciding to post about it, I've never taken a picture of the whole dish itself. Here, however, is a picture of it on my plate.

I scooped the casserole out of the dish to put it in the plate
so all of the french fried onions are on the bottom. :-/

I made this for my family this weekend during my sister's graduation cookout and it was a hit!! We ate it ALL! 

Try this recipe and let me know how it goes!! Happy Cooking!

Happy Mother's Day

I wanted to send a special shout out to my Mom. She's done a lot for me over the years and I am truly grateful. Words can't express...So, on this day, I want to wish her, my Grandma, sisters, aunts, cousins, and friends a very happy Mother's Day.

My Life In 275 Words Or Less

What can I say? I love my life and I’m glad God placed me on this Earth to live a life where I’m able to impact others. I grew up in eastern NC. It's pretty rural hence my longing for the "big city life"! I went to college then grad school and I’m now working in my field of study. Family and friends play a major role in my life right now, but I soon hope to have a family of my own. That about sums up where I am at this moment in my life. My book’s been filled up to now with all the things I was “supposed to do” so I’m “filling time” until God sees fit to bless me with movement into my next chapter. “Life ain’t been no crystal stair...”, which I'm sure most of us could say, but I’m at a point where I’m able to do what I want when I want...and yes that includes having fun too. You know that saying “Live. Laugh. Love.”? I try my best to incorporate that into my life as much as possible..all the while loving and enjoying the people closest to me. If someone were to ask me if I thought I'd been successful up to this point, I'd say, “Yes, if I must say so myself!” However, there’s always room for growth. I’m happy and healthy by the grace of God and I know my future is GREAT! So I’m looking forward to it and will continue to pray to Him alone who knows the plans He has for me (Jeremiah 29:11).

2. Transitions/Big Chop

Some of my transition hair styles (on the top row)...there were soo many, but I could only choose a few!

On the second row there is 1. My night before the big chop pic (It had been straightened), 2. All my relaxed ends on the floor, and 3. My post big chop hairstyle (you can see the excitement in my face)
