Tigers Like Chicken?? :)

 I decided to cook my Lemon Pepper Chicken Breast last week!! Sweet potato and broccoli is the perfect combination when it comes to chicken breast!

Very juicy and succulent.. It turned out great! 

 This one was a hit or miss for me. I used a new batter that had a little bit of buffalo spice to it. It's super easy though because you just toss the batter in a bag and shake the chicken inside it and BOOM! there it is! :) Stick it in the oven for 30 min and bon appetit!

 

Once again, very juicy! Works great with rice!

Topping it off with dessert: sparkling cranberry soda float!

And now we're full.. :)

Inside Tiny's Kitchen!!

Despite all of the post wedding/ honeymoon/ holiday craziness, I've still managed to keep up one of my favorite things to do: COOKING!! I've been cooking pretty consistently and last week I think I cooked four or five times. The first two nights I tried out the new herbs and spices I received from my close friend, Kristin for Christmas! They were delicious!! Here they are:

This is the new Salmon Rub Kristin got me - I put a little corn over it after. I baked the salmon in the oven after putting the rub over it and it turned out super moist and delicious! The ingredients are in caption below:

"Northwest Salmon Rub: Gourmet-style rub that's perfect for Salmon. An influence of Seattle and Asian style flavors, along with smoked salt, make this a great seasoning. Contains: pepper, smoked sea salt, orange zest, star anise, coriander, cumin, fennel, dill, celery seed, turbinado."

 Made a little side of Southwest corn chowder to go with the fish:

 On Day 2, I decided to try the other blend I received! I bought a little bit of shrimp and chicken to try the zesty garlic blend on! I simply put the ingredients on the shrimp/ chicken and then cooked it in a skillet!! The ingredients are listed in the caption below:

"Garlic Fix: Bold all-purpose blend that's great with chicken, burgers, pizza, eggs, soups, or sauteed with shrimp for killer scampi! Contains: garlic, chives, shallots, kosher salt, and black pepper."

 A little bit of lettuce and green onions tossed in korean peppers and sesame oil to use for wrapping! Giving it an asian twist! :)

 Also made a little bit of killer "Dwaen Jang Jigae" (a type of Korean soup) and rice to go with the chicken and shrimp to give it a little bit of spice!

 I think everything turned out better than I thought! I love trying new recipes but the only con is that you never know how everything's going to turn out! That's why I'm glad I have my personal taster ready haha! And as long as the Tiger is happy, I know I've succeeded! ;)

Happy New Year!!! HELLO 2013!! :)

A lot of great things happened to us in 2012 including our unforgettable wedding, romantic honeymooning in Europe, and the festive holiday family get-togethers we've been throwing! We also finally got all of our edited wedding photos back and they came out wonderfully! We're so excited about the new year and what new adventures 2013 may bring us!! Daniel and I have a lot of new year resolutions this year and one of them is to write more in our blog! We've been so busy with life, that we've been neglecting our beloved blog! I'm making it a resolution this year to write more of our memories down!!

Let's start with a TINY bit of fashion~ hehe it seems to be wedding season galore as of late!! We went to at least 5 weddings in 2012 which finally gave me a reason to wear some of my favorite gowns!! Here's one that I wore to my cousin's wedding in December! A little wintery gown :)

 I really like the color of this dress.. it's more of a turquoise sea green in person..

 I love gowns like this that just kinda drape the body~ elegant and chic.

 Not too revealing but still flattering...and the bow gives it kind of a girly feel!

The best thing about this dress is that I bought it on sale for $50!! what a steal! ;)

 I braided my hair into an up-do to try and get an even more greek goddess-like feel as a whole hehe.

 Ending with a close-up makeup shot! :)
