Vision 2017

It's time to focus on 2017! One way to do that is with a Vision Board Party. A vision board is a board where you paste down pictures and words that you want to be a part of your goals. In other words visions you want to become a reality. Experts say by putting your goals down in writing you are more likely to achieve them. Why not make the goals look pretty and display them in a prominent place?

I had my Vision Board Party this weekend with a group of lovely women. They are motivated. They are inspiring. They just.... ARE.

At first I was overwhelmed and couldn't put my brain in the right space to create. So, I spent several hours fluttering around cutting out a word or picture or two. The fact of the matter is- I just LOVE these ladies and needed to be around their energy! 

It wasn't until most my guest left that I finally sat down with my pile of magazines, board, and tools. In the end- I was surprised at some of the goals that ended up on my board. While some goals I very much intended to be there, others I did not, but I'm going to listen to my inner voice and focus on these goals intently.

My board is now prominently displayed and will be looked at several times a day. I will work hard to succeed in my vision for 2017! Here's to a successful new year!

What are some of your visions for 2017?  

Foodie Friday: Natalie’s Jerked Chicken Wings

I know you're beginning to think of some great snacks for your Superbowl parties! A football party isn't complete until the chicken wings arrive! So here is a recipe from our friend Natalie. She's Jamaican and knows how to jerk some chicken! 

Fresh or Frozen Chicken Wings

2 Cups Oil

Jerk Seasoning (the best one is made by Walkerswood) (no measurement.  Use as needed, the more you use, the hotter the wings will taste).

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees

Place oil in a frying pan and heat it to 350 degrees.

 

Place wings in oil and cook, until they get a nice golden brown on the skin. (If frozen be very careful placing in oil, as the ice will "pop" the oil and cause burns).

 

After the wings have a nice color, remove from oil and pat dry with a paper towel. 

 

Place wings on a cooking sheet or in an oven safe dish and cook in preheated oven until internal temperature has reached 165 degrees.

 

While the chicken is still hot, place Jerk Seasoning in a bowl and add chicken wings.  Toss lightly, making sure all sides of the wings are coated.

 

Place on a platter and serve hot. You could also put out some ranch dressing or bleu cheese dressing as a dipping sauce.   

Enjoy the wings!

 

I'll have another great party recipe next week!
