Balsamic Chicken and broccoli Salad


I haven't posted any new recipes lately because honestly our dinners have been very straight forward..a meat and a veggie..for the past month.  Tonight I mixed it up a little with a last minute salad that turned out super delicious! Quick, easy and family approved! 

Ingredients:
-Thin Sliced raw Chicken Strips
-oregano
-olive oil
-balsamic Vinegar
-Green Giant Seasoned Broccoli Steam Bags
-Arugula 
-Fresh Parm

Directions:
-Toss your chicken strips into a frying pan over medium/high heat.  Add about 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil.  Sprinkle each tender with oregano
-Let the chicken cook for about 6 minutes and flip to the other side.  Add more oregano.
-Throw the seasoned broccoli bag in the microwave (following heating directions on the bag)
-Keep checking chicken until its cooked through.  Once chicken is white and cooked throughout add balsamic vinegar all over the strips.  Turn heat down to medium and just let sit.  The balsamic will coat the chicken..leave on heat until desired look...we like ours to almost looked grilled. (around 3-4 minutes)
-Place a handful of arugula in a salad bowl.  Scoop out some of the seasoned broccoli and place on top.  Finish with the chicken and top with some fresh grated parm.  The parm melts on the chicken and tastes so good with the balsamic flavoring! 

*We didn't need to add any extra dressing to ours once we mixed the broccoli and salad...but feel free to add to yours!

Neutrals by BEHR Paint

I've been working on a project for the past two weeks and what always seems to be the most challenging part is choosing paint colors.  I have been wanting to find a nice neutral that isn't too "Gray" and isn't too "Beige" but not too white either. I personally like the look of white walls in pictures but in reality I'm not a huge fan.  Also, I like to see a contrast between painted walls and white trim.  Each time I look over on Pinterest for inspiration I find lots of suggestions for other paint brands..but I'm a BEHR girl :)  We spend so much time at Home Depot it just makes more sense for us.  That being said I decided to share with all of you my suggestions for finding the perfect "light Greige" by BEHR Paints!   To start off with here are three options that are lighter/cooler but will still show a nice contrast next to white. 1. Drizzle 2. Sterling 3. Halation These three options are als

4 Tips for Selling Your Home!

*Sponsored Post. Thank you to our talented guest blogger, Alex Berger, for sharing these 4 tips on selling your home!* Selling your home can be extremely stressful, but if you are in the beginning stages of the home selling process, I have a few tips for you! About four years ago, my parents packed up their home and moved from Marietta, Georgia to Amelia Island, which is about 30-40 minutes from the Jacksonville airport. They had no idea what to expect when it came to buying in a city that was completely new to them (they had only visited Jacksonville once - for two days!), so it was pretty stressful for them. Now, looking back, they could have done many things differently in order to make the process a lot easier for themselves, especially when it came to selling their home. But, since the selling process is so complex and stressful, a lot of people do it “wrong,” and they are just one of many, which is why I want to help. Here are a few tips for selling your home.
