Valentine's Decor

I hope that you have enjoyed your Valentine's Day. 

Nothing is more important than love!

My husband and me decided to stay home and just had dinner together but I always manage to take the chance to make my own Valentine's decor.

It's simple and you could easily use it for any other romantic night...





Just a couple of candles and some color theme and you are ready to transform any table. I love to change my table according to the occasion. It's easy, affordable and most of the time it really looks very cute!

This was our first Valentine's Day as husband & wife...

Lots of love to you all.

Xo Xo...

Beautiful words from God!

My sister in law Jen is an amazing beautiful woman and her heart is full of God.

She has great taste for home decor and usually her house looks like a "Pottery Barn" ad. 

She likes to play with pastels and calm neutral colors. Her house always remind me of a house by the sea... 

Today I want to share with you her very personal "decor touch" that I like to call: "God's decor touch!" 

Why? Because she finds interesting ways to incorporate God's words in each room and she always does it in a very subtle and inviting way.

Let's see what she has done so far:

This is her daughter's bedroom. A super cute pink bedroom!


If you pay attention to the details, she placed a Hawaiian dancer on top of the desk that brings that "beach & fun" feeling to an already feminine bedroom, but  she also managed to incorporate some beautiful God's words.

Check it out:


Isn't it cute?

So these are some ways of incorporating your spiritual believes in your house.

If any spiritual or religious phrase inspire you or your family, don't be afraid to place it in some precious spaces in your home where every one can appreciate it too.

FRAMES



But by far, this one is my favorite for any girl's room:




It's a great reminder that we are all beautiful women because our hearts are beautiful. 

It's all about who we are inside. 

As simple as that!...

Xo.Xo.

Mexican Chicken Tacos recipe by Coco

My good friend Coco who lives in Miami was generous enough to share with us one of her favorite family recipes. 

Coco is a very fun and loving woman who loves to cook for her beautiful family.


I asked her about an easy recipe that busy working women could incorporate to their routines and she picked her beloved "Mexican Chicken Tacos in Salsa Verde".


Take down notes of her recipe:

Ingredients
Chicken breast
Corn Oil
Flour Tortillas
Queso Fresco
Garlic cloves
Green tomatoes
Sour Cream
Lettuce (finely chopped)
Onion
1 Bay leaf
Garlic
Salt & Pepper
Radishes (sliced)
Natural Jalapenos


Coco recommends that the exact amount of ingredients depend on the amount of tacos you would like to cook as the whole recipe is basically based on your own discretion and resistance to the “chile” and how hot you like the salsa.


Instructions
  • Boil the chicken breast with salt, pepper, one bay leaf, onion and garlic. (Keep the broth to prepare your green salsa)
  • Once chicken is cooked shred it and make the tacos. Close them with a toothpick to avoid them opening when frying.  
  • Wash and boil the green peeled tomatoes and the jalapeƱos in a little bit of water. Once they are soft, blend them with salt. 
  • Fry this salsa in a bit of oil and add the chicken broth – depending on how thick you like the salsa is the amount of broth you should use. Let it cook for some minutes.
  • Fry the tacos in low fire to avoid they get burn (flour tortilla fries faster than corn).   
  • Once fried, soak them in your hot salsa for some seconds and serve.




Xoxo.
