Recipe: Lemon Chicken Pasta

If you have been following my blog for a while, then you’ll know that when I post a recipe it’s either an alcoholic drink recipe or it’s a dessert recipe.  This week I’ve decided to try something different and go for a dinner recipe.  (Or lunch, It’s pretty versatile.)  

I’m not much of a cook.  I used to cook more when  I was younger, but then I stopped and I’m now out of practice.  Also, I’m not a big fan of touching raw food.  Which is why for this recipe I used and already cooked chicken.
Anyways, enjoy!

Also, for the picture of all the ingredients, I forgot the Lemons, and my parsley is a plant outside, so I couldn’t really include that one.  (Sorry.)

3 cups (1 ½ dry)  Farfalle Pasta

1/3 cup (5 Tbsp) Butter

2 Tbsp Lemon Juice 

2 Tbsp Fresh Parsley 

¼ tsp Garlic Powder 

¼ tsp Marjoram 

1 ½ cup Grilled Chicken

Directions:

Cook Pasta and then add the butter. 

Grill the Chicken. (Or in my case heat it up a little bit.)

Toss the pasta will all of the ingredients above.

Enjoy!

For my tastes personally, I think that there was a little bit too much lemon.  Nut everything else was fine.   Just a side note just in case you’re not a big lemon person.

Revlon Lipstick Review:

So I don’t know if you know this about me, but I am really safe with lipstick.  I don’t venture out from what I know and love.  I didn’t notice how safe I was about the colors that I pick until I tried to do a “my favorite lip colors” post.  I found out that they’re pretty much all the same color, just by a different brand.  Well not anymore.  I picked up two lipstick colors that I don’t own, a very light pink color and a deep pink color.  Both by Revlon, both from lines that I already know I love. 

Up first is the lip butter.  I have one other lip butter in a nice red shade called 063 Wild Watermelon.  I like to wear this one more in the fall and spring than in the summer or winter.  Now I have a light pink called 080 Strawberry Shortcake.  The reason why I never bought this one is because it’s a light pink.  Looking at the sticker on the bottom, it’s a pale Barbie pink, and looking at the tube it’s a candy pink.  But I decided to try it out, and I am SO GLAD I did.  I love the color.  It’s not too pink and sugary.  It’s perfect for the days where I want some pink without some orange.  I am very happy with my pick, and I will be wearing this a lot.

The next one is a little bit different.  I have another one from the Super Lustrous line and it’s a pink color.  It was my first lipstick, and for a while I didn’t like it and I ignored it, but I picked it up a little while ago, and I loved it. It’s called 423 Pink Velvet.  The one I’m showing you today called 657 Fuchsia Fusion. What I didn’t know when I bought it was that it has blue undertones in it.  I was tickled because I had wanted to try a blue undertone lipstick.   I really like this one, but I’m still a little weary about wearing it at this point in time.

If you’re looking for new lipsticks to try then I suggest trying Revlon’s Lip Butter line or the Super Lustrous line.  I would stay away from the Suede line though.  It’s not a very nice line.

Mixed Drink:Peppermint White Russian

If you know anything about me, it's that I love everything mint flavored.  You'll also know that I love Bailey's Irish Cream.  So, this drink is perfection. 

2 oz Peppermint Schnapps 

2 oz Bailey's Irish Cream 

1 oz Half and Half 

Add all of the ingredients to a shaker with ice and then strain into a glass. 

You can garnish with peppermint candies, but I had a hard time getting them to stick.  So really I just wasted a few candies. 

I put the drink into a small 2 oz glass because I think the glass is super cute, but the recipe makes about a 5 oz drink. 

Enjoy!

P.S. If you have any tips about getting the candy to stick let me know! 

Burt's Bees Facial Cleansing Towelettes:

I finally got some money in my pocket, so I decided that I would have a little shopping spree.   I didn’t spend much, but I bought things that I wouldn’t typically ask for.  The first item that I am going to show you is Burt’s Bees facial cleansing towelettes with white tea extract.  They’re 99.1% natural, and they smell amazing.  To me they smell like lemons but to my sister they smell like white tea.  I think they were around $6 and you get 30 in the pack.

I really liked these because they say at the top “removes dirt, oil, and make-up.”  So on my really lazy nights all I have to do is wipe my face and off to bed I go.  They remove my make-up nicely and I don’t feel as if they left any behind.  The first time I used them, I did end up getting the wipe in my eye, and that burned a bit, so my advice to you would to use caution. 

The only thing I don’t like is that after I have used the wipes, my face is a little shiny, but since I use them before bed, it’s not that big of a deal.   Also, until you use a few, it’s a little bit hard to pull the wipe out. 

  I love them, and I seriously can’t stop smelling them.
