Recipe: Artichoke Chicken

It's been awhile since I shared a recipe, but this one is too good (and too easy) to miss!  It's my spinach artichoke chicken...a variation of something I saw on Pinterest that I tailored for me and LAS.

Chicken Breast

Canned Artichokes

Mushrooms (fresh or canned)

Spinach (fresh or frozen)

Onions

Garlic

Oregano

Garlic

Salt and Pepper

I season the chicken (btw, you could use chicken thighs too, which would likely be delish) with salt and pepper, garlic and oregano (I learned oregano is kind of strong when you aren't dumping it into pasta sauce so don't over do it.)

Here I topped with the artichokes, but you could lay the chicken on top of them as well. Then I added the mushrooms, spinach, and onions and cooked for about 45 minutes (these were large chicken breasts...so you may need to adjust)

I served with red potato wedges and salad.  I love this because its a total kitchen sink recipe so use what ever veggies, etc. you have on hand.  The original recipe called for diced tomatoes, so you can feel free to get creative.

Enjoy!

Gender Reveal Invites

The day is ALMOST here. Next week we find out if Baby S will be wearing pink or blue and we've invited our immediate family over for a little soiree to reveal the big news!

Naturally this event required invitations and per usual Ashley Brooke whipped up something AMAZEfest.  I mean...Bees? check. Envelope seals? check. Gold calligraphy? check.  She outdid herself.  If you need a custom illustration or invitation be sure to email info(at)ashleybrookedesigns(dot)com

Available Now: Heavens to Betsy Calligraphy Stamps

Since taking the I Still Love Calligraphy course last summer, I've been practicing my lettering and using it every chance I get.  So I'm excited to share that I've opened up a little shop and am selling custom calligraphy stamps! I hope to add a couple of more designs and a couple of designs for everyday use.

I have a couple that just came in and are going to be on their way to two of my favorite ladies very soon!

These are a perfect treat for yourself and a great gift for a new home, newlyweds, graduates, etc.  Feel free to email me with any questions! betsy(at)heavenstobetsy(dot).com

What I'm Loving...

Here are some things I'm loving lately...

Monograms: Me & Re Designs

Anne Marie from Me & Re Designs reached out to me to introduce herself and her company and I am so glad she did! She and her bestie Jill started this company (you know how I feel about besties working together) and they make THE cutest monogrammed items. Some of my favorites include these personalized beach towels and specialized cups--I can't imagine my Summer without them to be honest with you.  And if you are in the market for a new iPhone case, iPad case, trays, or anything else with your initials on it--be sure to check out Me & Re!

Music: It's all about the JT 20/20 Experience...I wonder when it will get old....Probably never....

Lately...

To say it's been awhile would be an understatement...to say a lot has been happening, would also be an understatement.

A little over a month ago we relocated to the beach, about 45 minutes south of where we were living. It's been great...we are still getting acclimated but the area is gorgeous and hopefully we'll be finding a church and making friends in no time.  Did you see our moving announcement on Ashley Brooke Designs? It's amazefest, right?  Ashley designed everything and did the stunning watercolor illustration and I did the calligraphy--quite the bestie collaboration.

In other MAJOR news, LAS and I are expecting our own mini S come late September!  We are so excited! In a few more weeks we will know boy or girl...can't wait to start monogramming, I mean shopping for important baby necessities. (I'd love to know about any pregnancy or baby must haves, so feel free to email me, betsy (at) heavenstobetsyblog.com)

Ashley Brooke has been taking weekly bump photos for me and they're too cute--you can see all of them here.  Like the HTB Facebook page while you're browsing :)

More exciting news to come, including some HTB calligraphy fun, my new favorite monogrammed goodies, and more...

We're Having a Baby, My Baby and Me...
