Holiday Quick Fix

Happy Holidays! I can’t believe it is time for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Since I am approaching the end of this pregnancy, I can’t go home to Louisiana… so, all the family is headed this way! I am super excited to host everyone. My extended family consists of two little ones so my immediate thought is, “How can I get my dining room ready for lots of sticky fingers and holiday eating?”

Seat covers are the perfect, quick solution to protecting your dining room chairs during the holidays or just sprucing up the chair bottoms you have.

Chair Before

These are some of my favorite seat covers. These just tie on to absolutely any dining chair. They don’t have to “fit” a certain size. And they are MACHINE WASHABLE and come in white and flax!! Soooo easy and only cost $60 each!

We are going to give away 2 of them before Christmas for one of our weekly Monday Giveaways so stay tuned! Or, let us know if you’re interested in ordering any!

FRIDAY FAVORITES…

Things we’re loving lately:

In honor of school starting right around the corner, first on the list is this awesome desk lamp! A favorite at PARISH, we’ve brought this guy back to the store on multiple occasions. I can’t explain how happy I am that I don’t have to go back to class or pull any more all-nighters but I like to think that this guy would make sitting down to a desk a little bit more appealing.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that Amanda and Ashley are both expecting!! We are all so excited! Babies are the topic of conversation on a very regular basis so I couldn’t help but add this precious onsie to the list… (There are probably some cute Alabama onsies too but my daddy would disown me if I posted one. :) )

Auburn “Love” Applique Gingham Onsie from Esty (War Eagle to this cutie)

This beautiful sunburst mirror is my favorite kind of sun lately… it’s too flippin’ hot down here in Montgomery to spend any time under the rays of the real thing. Keep your eyes on our facebook page for an update when this guy hits the shelves at PARISH.

If you read our recent post about what we keep in our purses, koozies were a top contender for the #1 must-have-at-all-times item. Thanks to Pinterest, I found these cuties and a couple dozen more at this awesome site. You can completely customize the colors, monograms, names, etc, etc. This is definitely a gift idea that I will remember for the future.

Our newest pillows are a definite fave here at PARISH. These snazzy zebra print pillows are 22″ x 22″ and soft as can be. We put them right by the front door so that we see them every morning as we walk in.

I couldn’t do a Friday Favorite list without some jewelry. Amanda found our new favorite site for cute, inexpensive jewelry. I already did some damage and placed a couple orders from them… I couldn’t help it! My most recent find is this cute pair of coral and gold earrings. I’m obsessed.

The final favorite is K. Hall’s summer scented candle in Sweet Magnolia. We burned this candle pretty much every day this week and have had more compliments than ever on how great the shop smells!

Hope y’all enjoyed our Friday Favorites. If you are interested in anything from PARISH, give us a call! We will be glad to ship to our out of town readers.

Happy Friday!!

A TASTY TREAT FOR OUR READERS!

Pinterest has become my go-to cookbook.  The recipes are usually super easy, and always tasty.  Below are two that I found on Pinterest, and tried.  I have to say the reviews have been very positive.  Let me know what you think, and if you have as much luck as I did with these recipes.

This is a fantastic White Chicken Enchilada casserole! It is from the blog Plainchicken.com. Everything on her blog is super tasty and easy to make!!

White Chicken Enchilada Casserole:

8 flour tortillas, soft taco size
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (I used half of a rotisserie chicken)
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
3 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
1 (4 oz) can diced green chilies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Spray a 9×13 pan with cooking spray. Mix chicken and 1 cup cheese. Roll up in tortillas and place in pan seam side down.

In a small sauce pan over medium heat, melt butter.  Whisk in flour and cook 1 minute. Add broth and whisk until smooth. Allow sauce to thicken.  Remove from heat and stir in sour cream and chilies.

Pour sauce over enchiladas and top with remaining cheese. Bake 20-25 minutes and then broil for a few minutes to brown the cheese.

 

I cannot forget about dessert.  You will never go back to the store bought version, after making these.  Seriously.  This recipe comes from the precious blog bloomingonbainbridge.blogspot.com.

 

Homemade Oatmeal Cream Pies:

 

My sweet father-in-law loves Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies. I wanted to top those, and Mr. Mike said I did with this recipe!!

 

This is the original recipe from the blogger's grandmother. Isn't that the sweetest!!

 

I promise I am an interior designer.  I have just found myself loving posts on fashion and food.  My other two loves!!
