Updated Home Tour {Master Bedroom}

Since a designers home is never finished, I'm always making changes and tweaking. I thought I had our master bedroom right where I wanted it, then my obsession with gray took over. I also wanted a softer, cozier feel. The bright yellows had worn out their welcome! (Check out the previous pictures of our space on the right sidebar or our home tour!)

 Take a look at its current state.

I would eventually like to repaint the room in a soft gray, but we have other rooms on the priority list for now! The hubs says he's tired of the blue walls. We just hung the gray drapes so that helps tone it down a bit. 

What do you think of our space? Do you like the blue walls or would you repaint them gray? I'd love to hear what you think!

Shrimp and Spinach Enchiladas with Jalapeño Cream Sauce

Photo Via 

Let me just tell you how delicious these enchiladas are. Make them when you are famished because they are so good that you won't want to stop eating! I might have powered down 3 of them!! 

I adapted the recipe from this original one. 

Roasted Shrimp Enchiladas with Jalapeño Cream Sauce (adapted from Damn Delicious):

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/2 - 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined (I used 1 lb)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, diced
• 4-5 cups baby spinach, lightly chopped
• 2 tablespoons chopped chipotle pepper, in adobo sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 12 (6-inch) corn tortillas, warmed
• 2 cups white cheddar cheese (I used Monterey Jack)

For the jalapeño cream sauce:

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 
• 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
• 3/4 cup sour cream
• 2 jalapeños, seeded and minced
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Place the shrimp onto the prepared baking sheet. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt and pepper, to taste, and gently toss to combine. I also added garlic salt and lemon juice. 

Place into oven and roast just until pink, firm and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool before dicing into bite-size pieces.

Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9x13 baking dish or coat with nonstick spray.

Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet. Add the garlic and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions become translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach, chipotle pepper, oregano and cayenne. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach just begins to wilt, about 1-2 minutes. Add the shrimp and gently toss to combine.

To make the sauce, melt the butter in a large saucepan. Whisk in the flour until lightly browned, about 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the chicken stock and cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in the sour cream and cream cheese. Add the jalapeños and garlic powder and simmer unitl the sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove from heat and stir in the cilantro.

Heat the tortillas in the microwave for 10 seconds to prevent them from cracking.

To assemble the enchiladas, lay the tortilla on a flat surface and spoon 1/3 cup of the shrimp mixture in the center; sprinkle with cheese. Roll the tortilla and place seam side down onto prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and shrimp mixture.

Pour half of the jalapeño cream sauce evenly over the top. Place into oven and bake, covered, until lightly golden and bubbly, about 20 minutes.

Serve immediately with remaining jalapeño cream sauce, garnished with cilantro. I also served mine with black beans! 

Happy Eating!

DIY Succulent Arrangement

When I discovered this wedge boat on clearance for $15 at Crate and Barrel I knew it was the perfect vessel for a DIY project. Greenery adds such a fresh vibe to any space and I'm such a fan of succulents, so off to Hobby Lobby I went. 

I used a bag of moss, a mixture of succulents, and my bargain vessel! Total, I spent around $30. I laid down the moss in the boat in no particular way. Just layer and cover the bottom leaving space on each end. Then, bend the stems of the succulents and slide them under the moss. I actually used less than I purchased. 

After about five minutes you have this earthy arrangement! 

Do you love succulents as much as I do?

Party Planning

I can't believe another year has passed and I'm going to have a sassy 3 year old in less than 2 months. With that, comes party planning for her big day. She requested a princess party, so I used my swift convincing skills and now she's excited as ever for her "Under the Sea" party! I just couldn't swing the thought of a full on princess themed party. Plus, I'm sure the boys in the neighborhood will thank me later! 

Here's what I'm thinking for her big day!

I'm pretty sure this is the invitation I've settled on.  A photo of my sweet girl is a requirement! How fun to look back in 20 years at all her birthday invitations? 

Via

Little miss has already approved a cake similar to this one! 

How darling are these mini Mason jar sippers from Anthropologie?!

Via

Not everything has to be sugary and sweet! Love the idea of a healthy treat for the littles in cute striped cups.

What kiddo doesn't love balloons? They can double as decor and leave with the kiddos attached to the party favors! 

Via

And speaking of party favors, beach buckets are great for stuffing surprises in side!

Cute printables are a must! 

So many cute ideas I've found! Her 3rd birthday is sure to be a blast!
