Reeses Peanut Butter Bars

Last night I made these yummy Reeses Peanut Butter Bars. They were delish, and It really did taste like Reeses Pieces! I like peanut butter on occasion, but I'm not a real big fan of it, so I'm not sure where I got my sudden Peanut Butter cravings from? I've been on a PB&J frenzy lately, so I was ecstatic when I came across this recipe, because I absolutely adore Reeses Pieces!! 

This was so easy to make and SO yummy it totally fulfilled my Peanut Butter cravings! See below for the receipe =)

Ingredients
1 cup butter melted
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup + 4 tablespoons peanut butter
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Directions
In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, confectioners' sugar, and 1 cup peanut butter until well blended. Press evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 inch pan. In a metal bowl over simmering water, or in the microwave, melt the chocolate chips with the peanut butter, stirring occasionally until smooth. Spread over the peanut butter layer. Refrigerate for at least one hour before cutting into squares. 

I tweaked this recipe a little to my liking. I only used about 1 1/2 of confectioners sugar because I didn't want it too sweet. I also added a tad bit more peanut butter to the mix; I'll say 1 cup and 4 tablespoon of Peanut Butter for the mixture and stuck with the 4 tablespoon of Peanut Butter for melting and incorporating with the chocolate chips.

Chicken Laab Gai Recipe

 Happy Monday everyone! Isn't this little desk calender cute?! I came into work this morning, and my boss gave these out to each one of us. Last week, my boss was traveling in Hong Kong and picked up these hand painted desk calenders for us.

  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. For me, I was once again a busy bee, but that didn't stop me from making this Chicken Laab Gai for dinner last night. This is one of my favorite dishes because it's spicy, sour and full of wonderful flavors. To eat this with sticky rice is just Ah... heaven! 

Ingredients

1lbs of organic ground chicken (you can use shredded chicken breast)

1 cup of organic low sodium chicken stock (you can use water in place of stock)

1-2 tablespoon fish sauce

1-2 tablespoon lime juice

1/2-1 cup of cilantro

1/2-1 cup of mint leaves

1/2-1 cup of green onions

1 tablespoon hot red chillie flakes

2 tablespoon of toasted ground rice

2-3 shallots thinly sliced

1/2-1 tablespoon of red thai chillie peppers

1-2 tablespoon of wet tamarind (soak in a bowl of water and mush around til you have a brown liquid)

Directions

Pour a cup of chicken stock into your wok or pan and bring it to a boil, add your ground chicken and cook thoroughly, add fish sauce and turn off the stove. Pour the ground chicken with the juices into a good size mixing bowl, let is sit for a bit to cool down, then add your shallots, cilantro, mint leaves, chillie flakes, chillie peppers, lime juice and wet tamarind juice (only use the juice) and toasted ground rice. Mix everything together; adding more fish sauce or lime juice and peppers to your liking. I used Romain lettuce leaves and scooped some of the Laab Gai onto the leaf, sprinkled it with some paprika for a pop of color and garnished with some Mint leaves and a wedge of lime. Eat as is, or enjoy it with some sticky rice!

Enjoy!

Have a lovely week everyone!

Fall Bronze Office Look

The first day of Fall will be this Saturday, but it still feels like Summer here. I'm really looking forward to Fall; it's one of my favorite Seasons. I love all the deep rich Autumn colors for Fashion. I love seeing all the beautiful leaves changing their colors; lining the streets with their beauty. Most of all, I love not sweating like a pig in the HOT Summer heat! Sorry if that was TMI... If it makes you feel any better; I really don't sweat like a pig; I just dislike being uncomfortably hot and, well sticky.

I put together this outfit today, maybe it has a little too much bronzyness; perhaps it's a little too matchy; or a little boring.... Whatever the case, I happen to like it. It's sweet, simple, and perfect for me to prance around the office in. The flats are comfortable enough to run errands on my hour lunches; the purse is big enough to hall around my million things I stuff in my bag. The pants has a tinge of Vintage which I love; the jewelery is not too overpowering for the work place, and well the blouse is just lovely.
