Avocado Chicken

Recipe time, yet again! This one was requested by a lovely friend to give the recipe for.. so I decided to just post it up here for everyone to see. I'm obsessed with avocado lately; therefore, I've been putting it and trying it on just about EVERYTHING. And I haven't had a flawed one yet, haha.

Ingredients:
1 chicken breast
1 tbsp Montreal Chicken seasoning
1 tsp of garlic seasoning
Sprinkle of pepper
1/2 avocado

Directions:
Season chicken with dry ingredients and then place in pan. Bake at 425 degrees F for 30 minutes. Cut an avocado in half. Place the half of the avocado with the pit still inside it in a plastic bag and put in the fridge - it'll last until the next day! Use a spoon around the edges of the other half to get the avocado out of the skin. Slice up the avocado into four slices, and sprinkle with salt and pepper for taste. Place avocado on top of the chicken breast, and serve immediately.

Shown below with baked beans, fresh corn on the cob, and a sweet potato.. yum!! It was fantastic, let me tell you!

Product Review: Lorac Mint Palette

Available at Ulta /Sephora for $36.

The Lorac Mint Palette is definitely one of my favorite things for this summer! I've been in love with it every since I bought it about a month ago. It comes in an adorable blue palette with 6 eyeshadows and a coral blush, which looks fantastic on tan and lighter skin! My favorite look to do is the light blue lid with the dark purple on the outer corner (see the tutorial!).

I really love Lorac eyeshadows in general, because they're very long-lasting.. in my opinion; and this palette is no exception.

All in all, this is definitely a summer "must have!"

Pulled Pork Roast

This recipe was kind of one of those where I just went with the flow on things.. hahaha. I love doing that, because it's either a huge hit or a huge miss. And apparently it was a huge hit, because I was looking through my phone and found a picture of my husband's plate - meaning he was wanting me to put this recipe up on the blog!

Ingredients:

Pork roast

1 pkg BBQ Pulled Pork seasoning

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 tsp garlic seasoning

1/4 tsp paprika

1/2 green pepper, chopped

4 red potatoes, cubed

Hamburger buns /bread* (optional)

Directions:

Spray crockpot with Pam. Mix together dry ingredients. Place roast, pepper, and potatoes in crock pot. Pour dry ingredients over roast until covered, and pour the rest over the potatoes (yum! Seasoned potatoes!). Pour in 1/2 cup of water to keep potatoes from drying out. Cook on low for 4-5 hours. When done, drain as much of the water as you can out of the crockpot. The roast can now either be sliced and eaten by itself, or it can be pulled apart with forks and put on sandwiches!

Here is my husband's plate.. he chose to put it on a sandwich, while I did the opposite and didn't pull it apart - rather I let it just fall apart when I cut it.

Bread Crumb Sirloin

I have to say.. this is definitely one I just made up myself. I literally walked into the kitchen, opened the cabinets, and found some seasonings to throw on! That's one of my favorite things about cooking, to be honest. I love just making my own combination of things and hoping it turns out good; because I've yet to have a bad experience with it!

So tonight, I made an Italian bread crumb mixture covered sirloin.

Ingredients:
1 package sirloin chops
1 cup Progresso Italian style bread crumbs
1 tsp Grill Mates Mesquite seasoning
1 tsp Grill Mates Montreal Steak seasoning
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 cup butter, melted (can use egg if desired)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. In a separate bowl, melt butter in the microwave. Dip sirloin in butter until completely covered, then cover in bread crumb mixture. Place in pan. Continue until all sirloin chops are used. Spoon extra butter onto now covered chops, then add extra bread crumbs left in the bowl for some extra crunch. Put in the oven uncovered, and bake for 30-35 minutes.
