Sweater Girl

I love sweater weather and my closet is filled with sweaters. 


I try to wear all my sweaters at least once during the fall/winter season. I have all types of sweaters in my closet: pullovers, cardigans, turtlenecks, cowl necks, tunics, hoodies, and ponchos. I've never counted them, but I probably have between 50-60 sweaters, maybe more. I think it may be time to get rid of a few of them. Yeah, riiiiiight.
I am never satisfied with finding the perfect sweater.
My perfect sweater can take me to work, as well as going to the movies with friends or running errands. My perfect sweater is comfortable, stylish, can't be itchy, too bulky, or too tight or too loose, and most importantly, it must be bought on sale.

One of my latest additions is a Liz Claiborne sweater found on the bargain rack at JCPenney. Original price was $40, bought it for $10. I love the animal print and the 3/4 sleeve, perfect for wearing a bracelet.




Bought this sweater yesterday at Plato's Closet. Original price was $14, bought it for $1. Yes, you read that right, I paid $1 for this sweater. That may be my perfect sweater.

My easy, healthy, one-pan chicken dinner

Nothing makes a cold winter night more bearable than a hot and hearty meal. This chicken dinner is my favorite winter comfort food.

It's also easy, healthy, affordable and delicious!

What you need:
- Large Baking Dish
- Olive Oil
- Salt-free Seasoning
- Potatoes (I use 3 large potatoes)
- Chicken Breast (I use 2)
- Vegetable (I use frozen broccoli, but you can use any vegetable you like, fresh, frozen or canned.)

Peel and chop up potatoes. Place chopped potatoes in a baking dish and pour a generous amount of olive oil, stir potatoes so potatoes are well coated with oil, sprinkle salt-free seasoning on potatoes. Cover with foil. Place potatoes in the oven, at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes. While potatoes are baking, cut up chicken, (and vegetable, if using fresh produce) in bite-size portions. After 10-15 minutes, remove pan from the oven and add chicken and vegetable to the pan, add more salt-free seasoning to chicken to taste. Cover with foil. Bake for 1 hour or until chicken and potatoes are cooked.

Take out of the oven and serve with a crisp salad. Enjoy!


Finished dish is always a HUGE hit!
