Orange Brown Sugar Scrub

7:20 PM

I am not a beauty person at all. Clarification: I don't wear any make up except for mascara and eyeliner, I usually only have one bottle of perfume at a time, I don't go out of my way to buy special things to wash my face, etc. Not because I don't take pride in my appearance but because I've just never been a huge girly girl. And up until today I had never used a sugar scrub. I had seen them before but I honestly didn't even know if there were any true benefits to using them on your skin. In typical Bre fashion I started to research sugar scrubs (nerd alert) and found some really neat things. The sugar actually brings moisture into your skin and unlike salt its very gentle. So, after playing around a bit I came up with my own recipe and I love it!



Ingredients:
1/4 C Organic Coconut Oil
2/3 C Brown Sugar (packed)
10-15 drops Orange Essential Oil (obviously I prefer Young Living)
1 Glass jar 


Instructions:
Mix coconut oil and brown sugar in a bowl. You can use a spoon but I just got in there and used my hands. Add 10-15 drops off Orange Essential Oil and mix together again. Voila! Done! Store in a glass jar with tight fitting lid. I literally paid $1 for this jar. I got it out of the dollar section at Target. Cute and cheap. Now, you have your very own sugar scrub all from ingredients you probably have lying around your house. 


Smell it. Use it. Gift it. 
It's that easy.

Ranch/corn flake chicken

9:30 AM

It occurred to me as I started making dinner tonight that this recipe is one of my go-to/easy/yummy favorites straight from mama's kitchen. I use to ask her to make this all the time, y'all. All. The. Time.   And now I make it on the nights we can't figure out what to eat or want something easy and simple. So here it is:

Ranch/corn flake chicken:

Ingredients-
4-6 pieces of chicken strips
1 packet of ranch dressing seasoning
1 stick of butter, melted
1 1/2 C plain corn flakes, crushed

We eat this so much that we stopped buying packets of the ranch dressing seasoning and just started buying it in the bottle


This was my first time pairing it with asparagus. It was going to go bad soon so I just threw it on there with the chicken. Not too bad. 


How to-
Preheat the oven to 350. Melt the stick of butter completely and then add the packet of ranch dressing seasoning, mix. In a separate bowl crush the cereal. I just use my hands for this but you can use a blender. Take each strip of chicken and soak it in the butter/ranch mixture then roll it in the cereal. Place them on a baking sheet lined with foil. I am ridiculous about being able to taste everything so I pour the remaining mixture of butter/ranch over each piece and then the crushed cereal as well. Bake for 1 hour. Literally it's THAT simple!

Enjoy!
