Ooey Gooey Queso cauliflower with Lime Guacamole Pork Chop!

If you’ve been following me you know I just LOVE Epicure meal solutions and seasonings! 

They make clean eating a snap! 

Plus you can think outside the box so to speak and use items anyway you want to explore! 

Tonight I used the Ooey Gooey Queso dip to make a sauce for our roasted cauliflower side! I used half the suggested amount of milk and stirred it up and poured over chopped cauliflower florets in the large steamer. Added handful of bacon bits and chives and tossed to cover the cauliflower evenly. Sprinkled 1/2 cup shredded cheese over the top and baked in oven on 400F for 45 minutes until the cauliflower was tender and the cheese browned up on the edges.

I created a marinade for our pork chops using the Guacamole seasoning, lime juice and a wee bit avocado oil. 

Popped it all in a ziplock baggie and let the pork chops sit in fridge for a couple hours before grilling them on BBQ! 

So delicious! 

What’s your favourite Epicure meal solution? 

Bon Appetite

Bright Baubles

OK I already loved the Bright Baubles Bundle but seeing this Artisan team member inspiration and now he layered them to really make them POP I want it even more!!! 

So intricate and elegant! They’d look lovely hanging on a tree too! I just love making paper ornaments for my tree! 

Tombow glue is perfect for intricate gluing and dries clear. A little trick I use if I need a really intricate dab of glue is make a puddle in my silicone mar and use the paper poker to dot on OR I use a sponge and dab the glue onto sponge and than dab onto the paper dies for a nice even application.

 

Here is the entire Bright Baubles bundle!

Just Between Us - I am in love!!!

 Getting ready to decide on my Remembrance Day manicure so checked out our team photo library and am just in love with this inspiration by fellow distributor Jordyn Bailey! 

 

I think it would look awesome to use the creativity set and add a poppy painting on the accent nail! 

 

I also love how the Flawless takes on a totally new shade when layered over the Just Between Us - layering or mixing is another way to double or triple or even infinity your polish colours with all the shades you can mix yourself - like channeling that inner artist and scientist all in one! 

 

Colours needed to recreate this look:

Just Between Us

Flawless (one coat over top of Just Between Us)

Matte'r effect

Clearly frisky

Have an amazing day!

Introducing PEEL OFF!

 Love when cool new product gets released! 

 

Peel off is a brand now product - perfect for those who cannot wear nail polish at work or want a special look for day!   

 

 See it in action and get some amazing tips from Darla .... seriously it is so cool!

Like a good Fact sheet to peruse - here you go!

Look at the little polish graveyard! LOL I love that this product provides a barrier that allows you to gently peel off the gel polish without the damage that would come with traditional 'peeling' off of gel polish which is a big no no because it can pull a layer of your nail bed with it and that leads to damaged thinning beds which is no fun at all!

If you are interested in snagging yourself a bottle for the next time you want a quick polish change option check out my website!

Have an amazing day!
