The Finishing Touches With @Decorview

One of the most dramatic ways to change the atmosphere of a room is with window treatments. Depending on how you dress your windows, the general aura and mood of a room can be dramatically changed. I love a lot of natural light and window treatments that are simple and clean. I recently shared a […]

5 Things I Do to Help Keep My Kids Cold-Free

It’s that time of year that kids are back in school- yay! It’s also that time of year when germs are on the warpath and kids tend to get sick a lot more- boo! My children are rarely sick, and my pediatrician jokingly asks me what my secret is. Dr. Cocoa has asked me share […]

Stelline with Chicken (Stelline de Pollo) Recipe

This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with Barilla and Latina Bloggers Connect. My mother in law is probably the most beautiful Dominican woman ever, and she cooks pretty well too. She shares favorite recipes with me that she made for my husband while growing up, which I appreciate, because before I met him I […]

  • Wow looks amazing. I love one pot recipes as they are very easy to make and I love Barilla. I’m sure it will taste amazing when I make it.

  • ortones

    Thank you a lot for providing this recipe.

  • This looks like a nice recipe to try. We love chicken and rice in our house a lot. Thank you for this idea.

  • Is that the Martha Stewart pot? That’s my big want this Christmas! Do you like cooking in it?

  • Penelope

    No, it’s Le Creuset (I think 5 or 5 1/2 qts?), I never tried anything of Martha Stewart’s so I have no idea how it would be, but I can recommend this one, I love it 🙂

  • This looks so yummy. I’ve tried Barilla pasta before but never had Stelline. Will pick it next time I’m at Stop & Shop.

  • I’ve never cooked with Stelline before. At first glance I thought it was quinoa.

  • Penelope

    It’s little star pastas, and it was my first time too (I never saw them before). My boys like that they are stars, so now I look for it.

  • That star-shaped pasta is too cute. I could use that in a ton of dishes for the kids. They love the character shaped noodles in their mac & cheese and Campbell’s soup, but I’d love to entice them with a healthier meal.

  • That looks beyond amazing. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

  • This chicken and pasta dish looks so tasty. I will have to make it soon.

  • Michele P

    thanks for the recipe, it looks delicious and I am always looking for new ways to fix up arroz con pollo for my Latino husband 🙂

  • I really like the fun pasta twist you put on such a classic dish and this definitely looks both colorful and delicious!

Save Even More @Target With #TargetCartwheel

I have no qualms admitting that one of my favorite places to shop is Target. I love everything the sell- the home decor, the craft supplies, the freshly stocked grocery section with ever expanding organics selections. The customer service is always great, and recently my husband asked me to start buying his clothes at Target […]

Hearty Potatoes and Beans Minestrone

This post brought to you by Simply Potatoes. All opinions are 100% mine. There are only three things I require for family meals: that they be healthy, tasty, and easy to make. Not necessarily quick, although I don’t mind that either, but I’m not really the type to spend hours making meals from scratch. I […]
