My kids and I enjoy cooking together. If I'm honest my daughter cooks WAY better then I do , so finding some great spices to boost my dishes is just what Mama needs.
 A lot of my my girlfriends are VERY into making  simple meals with great spice rubs. Getting together to test out a few of the spices in the kitchen was great twist on GAME  NIGHT we couldn't pass up.

We first watched this video showing how easy it is to get great flavor--



Before the party my daughter used one of the suggested recipes. 
COWBOY CAVIAR a delish and ez snack. 
Also a great dill dip for veggies and bread cubes.

Was fun to munch on
during cooking and game time. 

 

One thing I thing that was very fun to do is a blindfold smelling test. See who knows their spice!

The winner got this AWESOME SAMPLE PACK! She knew 3 of the 5 they were tricky!

Then we got to cooking- we started using one of the recipes from the website with our own twist

Save the Day Cashew Stir-Fry

2 cups chopped vegetables, such as carrots, celery, onion, peppers, kale, etc.

2 Tbs oil

1/2 cup cashews

2 tsp Save the Day Chinese

6 Tbs water

2 cups cooked rice

Saute vegetables in oil for 4-5 minutes.  Add Chinese seasoning and water.  Add cashews and cook for 30 seconds.  Serve over rice.  Optional:  add any meat before cooking the vegetables.

WE HAVE NUT ALLERGIES SO WE MADE IT A BEEF & PEPPER STIR-FRY

We really enjoyed sampling some of these tasty spice mixes together.  It's wonderful to know you can make healthier choices in cooking with out sacrificing flavor.

The Very Versatile Tunic #LuLaRoeIrma Review #RockingandRoeing

~clothing review... thoughts and opinions are 100% my own. I received this piece for a deal in exchange for my point of view.


Irma is comfy and perfect for leggings season! It is LuLaRoe's best selling tunic top!

If you are familiar with the LuLaRoe brand you know the pieces all have unique names -The company itself is a combination of the founders first three granddaughters. The Irma is one of the few pieces not named after a family member, but Irma is married to Patrick, the head designer for LuLaRoe! (oh yes he has a shirt too 😊)

I must confess the Irma has not been a piece in my Top 10 or even my Top 20. When Callie, the Chief Stylist over at RockingandRoeing requested some style ambassador's for the Irma; I decided to give it another try.

As soon as I opened my pretty pink package I was a goner 

IT WAS ROSES... MY KRYPTONITE  & Green a color I've been looking to add to my wardrobe for awhile.

The fabric is a Polyester/Spandex blend. It is silky to the touch and has a great stretch. Having that stretch is very important to me, the sleeves are fitted mid-length having bigger arms that give is a must!

High low hem with a back long enough to cover all the assets.
Looks fantastic with leggings loose, or belted to show off your curves a little.  Wearing it with a Pencil skirt looks nice from all sides.

Irma is a versatile all on it's own, BUT  if you happen to live in a home with more then one LuLaLover  it's a great piece to UPSIZE in. Check out  my mini me  ROCKING some sweet dress hacks 

tuck in the sleeves, torso through the
 head, belt and its a stunning skirt.

sleeves out and tied into knot
 at bust-line for a edgy chic look.

NO JOKE ...my feelings have done a 180° on Ms. Irma after

 giving  another analyses .
