Fruit Dip

Last week, my time after work was consumed with paper writing. My plan of working a little each night panned out. I'm still a procrastinator, but not like I was in undergrad staying up all hours of the night. I finished Wednesday night with time to talk to my hubby on the phone. 

Pinterest is the land of ideas! From recipe ideas, DIY projects, decorating tips, and any other random thing you can think of. I found another priceless tip on Pinterest: mixing greek yogurt and Nutella to make a fruit dip.

I mixed two spoonfuls of Nutella with the yogurt in my new West Elm bowl. (I also came across these on Pinterest, and had to order them!)

Strawberries and my dip = a pretty healthy snack which is also filling

Quick Tip: Shredding Chicken

I'll keep it short tonight! Justin and I boil chicken all the time because it comes out moist and is very easy. We usually chunk it, add onion, garlic, and some chilies for flavor. Then we boil it for anywhere from an hour to 2 hours. We use the chicken for lettuce wraps, nachos, or tacos. The picture below, we boiled the breasts whole which is even less prep work.

In the past to shred our chicken, we would either pull it apart with forks or wait until it cooled and use our hands. But my friend, Pinterest, gave me a new tip. 

My Kitchen Aid mixer 

Simply throw in the cooked chicken, use the paddle attachment, and turn on.

Shreds in seconds and no hassle.
