Corn Souffle Happiness

So R and I made our very first Thanksgiving dinner for the two of us this past Sunday afternoon. All I gotta say is we nailed it! (pictures to follow). Everything was so delicious and R even managed to BBQ a turkey in the rain. Pretty impressed! 

One of the dishes I made was Paula Deen's corn souffle.  I'm not a HUGE Paula fan, but this dish was so easy and really yummy---especially the next day. Try it out...I promise you will love it.

Have a very happy Thanksgiving!

Ingredients

• 1 (15 1/4-ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
• 1 (14 3/4-ounce) can cream-style corn
• 1 (8-ounce) package corn muffin mix (recommended: Jiffy)
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
• 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, stir together the 2 cans of corn, corn muffin mix, sour cream, and melted butter. Pour into a greased 9 by 13-inch casserole dish. Bake for 45 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and top with Cheddar. Return to oven for 5 to 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Let stand for at least 5 minutes and then serve warm.

shade me

I love, love sunglasses and rarely leave home without mine.  I also tend to break, loose, scratch, and torture mine on a daily basis as well.  That is why I have given up on buying pricey sunglasses and only purchase ones with a price tag of under $100. 

Today I found a an amazing website that  sells reasonably priced sunglasses and frames....all for $58!!! The company is called LOOKMATIC and they have some adorable glasses for both guys and gals.  You can also try them online but uploading a photo of yourself to their website and placing frames on your pretty little face. So clever!  And with prices that lovely, you can break, scratch, and loose your frames without shedding a tear.

love these gorgeous Kamala dessert plates from Anthropologie.  These would be a great addition to any white plate collection in hopes to add a little color to your dinner table.  LOVE!

weekend project

R and I have quite a bit of white wall space in our home. In most rooms I have grown to love the clean look, but some rooms are calling out for a little wall lovin'.  Our dining room is one of those rooms. I have been on the hunt for months for the perfect set of plates to hang on the wall above our buffet. Luckily, my mom has a gorgeous set of blue and white plates that she has agreed to "loan me" until her next home where she swears on returning to her blue and white pallet. :)

I'm hoping this happy plates will add some happiness to my blank wall.  Here are some photos that have inspired me along the way. Post project photos will be up on Monday. Happy weekend!
