The holidays are at our fingertips and the next few months will be filled with over indulging in sweets and yummy food. I.CAN.NOT.WAIT! This year, however,  I want to incorporate healthy side dishes, keeping with my paleo lifestyle. But lets get real here, it will all go out the door the second someone waves a no-bake cookie in front of me. That cookie has no chance of survival! Anyway, back to being healthy. My favorite thing to make for dinner as a side dish is brussels sprouts with bacon.  I am not sure when this started, but I feel like I have really grown up and am now a real adult when I say I love brussels sprouts–sprinkle bacon over it and you have me in a happy food coma. I have a recipe that I use that is healthy and so easy to do. Prep time takes less than 5 minutes and baking takes about half an hour. 
Brussels Sprouts With Bacon
First pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees. 
Clean and slice the brussels sprouts and place them on a baking pan. Make sure to spray the pan first with olive oil.
After placing them on the pan, sprinkle sea salt and pepper all over them. If you prefer only having pepper or just sea salt that is fine. Sprinkle to your liking. I like to go wild and cover them like it’s nobody’s business. 

Put them in the oven to bake for 25-35 minutes.  When done, take them out and place on a safe surface. I wait until after they are out of the oven to sprinkle the bacon bits. mmmmm bacon!
And you are done and ready to serve! I told you it was easy 🙂

Wrap me up before I go go…. because it’s freezing outside and this girl was not built for the cold. This past weekend proved that there is no amount of layers on earth that can prevent me from freezing my tush off. I even contemplated pouring hot chocolate all over myself, not to stay warm, but to double check my hands and feet were still working. Anyway, winter is here and winter is cold, and if I have to suffer through Jack Frost then I might as well look cute while doing so. Scarves, hats, and gloves are cold weather necessities. I’ve never been a huge fan of hats, more of an earmuffs type of gal, as I feel they do not look the best on me. But would love to, hopefully, pull off  this hat from Bloomingdales, how cute is the bow? Another accessory I have been eyeing are opera gloves from Mark And Graham.  I mean LOOK at this picture of Olivia Pope and tell me you do not want to copy this entire ensemble? Perfection. Now my favorite cold weather essential item is scarves. I live in scarves all winter long. From cashmere to prints to fur, I always seem to drool over every scarf I come in contact with. What I love most about the cozy item is that it is not only for the outside, but it is also part of your outfit. Scarves are a great accent and since I am always cold, I love to wrap myself up in them. Double win. Anyway, I am a firm believer you can never have too much of a good thing, so I am always in the market for new accessories to keep me looking chic and put together, not red-face wind blown cold.

Countdown to summer!…. too soon?

Tis the season for holiday cheer! This is my favorite time of the year with christmas music playing,  all the beautiful lights and decorations, gift giving, holiday happiness, and food and more food and did I mention food? With all of the wonderful things surrounding the holidays, my favorite part is spending time with family and friends. There are lots of parties and get togethers in store and I always like to have a few dresses on hand for such occasions. If you do not want to spend a ton of money with all of the gift giving and traveling, Rent The Runway is a great affordable way to not break the bank, yet still feel holiday-ready!
