Green Chef Meal Kit Subscription Review

Happy Monday everyone, I hope you all had a nice weekend. Today I’m kicking off the week with a fun at-home cooking post to get you feeling motivated for the week ahead. If you’re anything like me, you’re pretty basic in the kitchen. I’m talking same routine of tacos, then leftover tacos and then tacos once more before getting Chick-fil-a for the rest of the week. Well not anymore people! Because Green Chef has changed the cooking game!

I recently tried out the Green Chef meal kit subscription service in hopes of spicing things up in the kitchen without having to make a big trip to grocery store or wasting any extra ingredients, which always ends up happening since I’m only cooking for two. That is one of the best parts of Green Chef. They ship you all the ingredients already portioned out with the recipes attached and they offer new menus every week, so you won’t get bored. I started with the Keto Plan and I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed the cooking process since I’m never the one navigating the kitchen. Blake usually does all the cooking, so he was also super impressed with how delicious everything turned out considering I cooked it. Green Chef almost makes it impossible for you to fail though because they basically hand you everything and give you step-by-step instructions. Trust me, if I can do it, you can too and you’re talking to someone who once made raw shrimp fajitas with overcooked veggies. That was actually the point in which Blake decided to take over in the kitchen. LOL

I made the mushroom and barley carbonara and it turned out fantastic. I love how Green Chef makes the whole experience convenient and easy from choosing your meal plans online to having everything shipped right to your door ready to go. I also love the fact that all of the organic ingredients have no GMOs, toxic pesticides, irradiation, sewage sludge, antibiotics, growth hormones, or steroids. I can’t wait to cook my next Green Chef meal and try out their other meal plans (omnivore, carnivore, vegetarian, gluten-free, paleo, vegan, and keto). By using the link (http://bit.ly/hauteofftherackxgc) new customers will receive $40 of their first Green Chef box! 

All of my dinnerware and flatware is from Simplee Gourmet in New Orleans, LA.

Everyday Slip-Ons For Spring

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful Easter. We had the most beautiful weather over the weekend in Louisiana so we spent most of our Easter holiday doing casual outdoor activities like boiling crawfish and barbecuing.

Today I’ve partnered with Born Shoes to share my new casual, everyday slip-ons for spring. I just can’t get enough of these nude slip-on mules because not only are they comfortable and breathable, but they’re also super cute too. The perforated woven detail puts them right on trend for this season and the nude color goes with everything. However, I also love the blush color too and as well as this knit fabric sneaker by Born Footwear that is equally as comfortable as the Cameo.

I paired my Born Cameo mules with some high waist ankle jeans and tie front top for a cute transitional look into spring, but I also like wearing them with boyfriend jeans and cutoff shorts. How would you style these nude mules?

I’ve been carrying my Barrington Gifts St. Anne tote a lot lately because I’ve been trying to work on my laptop outdoors at coffee shops and cafes as much as I can while the spring weather is so beautiful.

Get ready to see this perforated mule trend everywhere!

Bridal Brunch Table Setting with MacKenzie-Childs

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a nice weekend. As promised, today I’m sharing photos from my at-home bridal brunch featuring MacKenzie-Childs’ latest collection, Sweetbriar! Tomorrow I’ll post photos and details from my bridesmaids luncheon/cooking class at Simplee Gourmet so you can see the collection in action. In case you missed my sneak peeks on Instagram, the collection is absolutely stunning and perfect all of you brides-to-be looking for a neutral dinnerware set to add to your registry. These ivory textured pieces are great for mixing and matching with other MacKenzie-Childs patterns that you already own. I’m sure you noticed that I incorporated a few Parchment Check dessert stands during my at-home bridal brunch. I can’t wait to style my Sweetbriar plates with my Morning Glory pieces for Easter.

Also, you can use Sweetbriar set as your everyday dinnerware since the pieces are microwave, oven and dishwasher safe or save the collection for special occasions since it has such a unique look with all of the different textures.

I actually got to see the MC team hand-make some of the pieces at their headquarters in Aurora, NY last August so it’s amazing to witness the whole collection come to life. Check out photos from my visit to the MCHQ here—>Trip Recap
