Greek Lamb Chops

I made this delicious and easy meal recently, and we absolutely loved it!  We don't have lamb often, but this was such a treat, and I just had to share the recipe!
I kind of combined a few recipes, and came up with my own, but the yogurt mint sauce is Barefoot Contessa all the way :)

This would be a great meal for a fancy supper, or if you are hosting a get together for a few friends.  It will be sure to impress, and you'll be so shocked to see how easy it is!

Ingredients:

1 16 oz rack of lamb chops
3/4 tsp dried rosemary
3/4 tsp oregano
3/4 tsp course salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Yogurt Mint Sauce:
3 scallions, chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
1 tbsp minced fresh dill
pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
5 oz greek yogurt
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper


Directions:

1. Prepare Yogurt Mint Sauce (directions below)
2. Once sauce has refrigerated, heat broiler.
3. Rub both sides of lamb chops with seasonings.
4. Place lamb on broiler pan; broil until chops are browned, turning once about 6 minutes per side.
5. Serve with sauce and enjoy!

Sauce: 
Place the scallions, mint, dill, red pepper flakes, olive oil, and lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor.  Puree until it is a course paste.  Add the yogurt, salt, and pepper, and pulse until combined. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours.

(I served mine with quinoa and these Brussels sprouts! Yum!)

Straight Hair, No Problem!

I've always wanted straight hair.  Ever since I was little, I have always been envious of those girls with the sleek, straight hair (from Kelly Kapowski to Gwenyth Paltrow).  But God gave me curls, and waves, and the in between stuff that is just completely unmanageable.  

So when flat irons came around, I was finally in hair heaven.   And last month, when Misikko, contacted me about receiving and reviewing one of their best straighteners, I was over the moon!

The packaging was amazing!

Besides the flat iron, it came with a case, brush, heat pad, eye lash curlers, bath soaps, makeup brushes, and more!

And being a southern girl, I of course really appreciated this thank you note :)

So I tried this beauty out!  And I was very impressed!

before and after:

Pros:  

-This iron gets very hot, very fast.

-The high heat makes straightening easy and quick.

-I love how the cord moves and rotates with the iron.

-This gets my frizzy, wavy hair VERY straight with little effort.

Cons:

-The plates are just a little rough, not quite as smooth as my Chi, but they do grab my hair quite easily.

-This isn't really a con, but due to the high heat, you have to be much more aware of where your hands/fingers are so not to get burned. 

-Also, because of the heat, which can get to 450 degrees (!!), you must use a heat protector in your hair.

I even tried out a wavier style with the iron, and it worked great!

Overall, I am super excited about the Hana Pro Iron, and it has definitely made me move all my other flat irons into the closet  =)

I've done of few of these posts before, but it's been awhile, and I think it's time for another :)

Whaddya say?

Body Sculpt Core Fusion 

This DVD is absolutely amazing. It reminds me a lot of the Pure Barre workouts, the way it does small isometric movements that target arms, thighs, abs, and backside.  You can break up the workouts or do the whole workout at once.  I usually do 3-4 at a time, and will combine it with a little cardio too. 

Pantene 2-minute moisture mask

This little gem is pretty great.  I just picked it up recently, and I am loving how much moisture it has put back into my dry hair.  It's just a 2-minute mask, and I do it about once a week.  Very easy to use, and leaves my hair feeling nourished and silky soft.

Two Faced Bronzer

This has SAVED me this winter.  Perfect amount of glow to the skin, without looking orange or fake.  And it smells like chocolate.  Yep.  Sold.

My 2 faves!  I officially want to BE Connie Britton. 

Are you fans of these shows??  

Currently wearing...

Target hoodie

I've been living in this cozy sweatshirt....it's actually embarrassing how often I wear this.  Pair it with some leggings, and I'm good to go.  And it's cute enough to wear out for errands.  

Black tank dress

I don't have this exact one, mine's from F21 but virtually the same, and I've been pairing it with everything lately.  Whether it's a moto jacket, a girly cardigan, or a just a fab statement necklace, this look has been my go-to for the past few weeks.  

Even though it was freezing this year, I absolutely loved my Easter outfit.  I tried to get away with wearing the cutest brocade skirt with this, but alas, the pants had to be worn.   

F21 peplum top, Target cardigan, BaubleBar necklace, and H&M skinnies :)
