Sadie + Stella Show Some Love

Hi pretties!  Hope your day is off to a fabulous start!  Today I am guest posting at one my newest favorite blogs, Sadie + Stella. 

If you have not read Lindsay's blog you need for realz.  Girl is hilarious, always making me laugh.   When I read her posts I always feel like I am talking to a friend and cracking up.  She has impeccable style and taste in home decor and she loves some good food and cocktails- a girl after my own heart.  And did I mention she has two of the cutest pups around?

Check out this old chair she recently recovered.  Freaking amazeballs, right??  Head on over to her blog for lots more eye candy!

Today I am sharing my favorite room in our house and by favorite room, I mean the cleanest because it rarely gets used.  Add a kid to the equation and every room in our house is covered in toys,  finger prints and food crumbs.  This room was pretty much the only one that was picture ready:)  Here is peek, head here to see the rest!

Grilled Shrimp With Cilantro, Lime and Peanuts

You might remember the picture of my Thai Noodle bowl from Monday.  Well this is the Shrimp recipe we used to go on top of our noodles.   We will be making this shrimp many more times.  It was honestly the perfect combination of flavors and so easy to make.  We sauteed our shrimp instead of grilling them- we prefer them that way, but I am sure they are delish grilled.    I am hungry just thinking about this dish.

This shrimp would be tasty on a salad as well, but if you want to recreate our dish we used Rice Stick Noodles (found in the asian foods section of the grocery) and Bok Choy.  Little secret I have never cooked Bok Choy before but now I love it. 

I googled a few recipes but ultimately made up my own. 

SAUTEED BOK CHOY

4 bundles of Bok Choy, washed and sliced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 garlic clove minced

1 teaspoon fresh minced ginger

1 tablespoon fish sauce

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

Sautee Bok Choy in olive oil until cooked slightly.  Add in the rest of the ingredients and cook a few minutes until fragrantly.

The combination was great.  I layered the Bok Choy on the cooked Rice Stick Noodles, then added the Shrimp and drizzled the whole thing with Sriracha.  Such an amazing meal!

Really love the pocket details and V-neck of this blouse.

RICHARD SCARRY'S BEST STORY BOOK EVER

This is more like Sterling's obsession but I wanted to share it for you Moms.  We read this book pretty much every night.  It is filled with so many stories.  I remember reading it when I was a kid.  Big thanks to our friends Alissa and Alec for giving Sterling this book.  Last night he even took it to bed with him!  It would make a great gift or addition to any child's library.
