HIP TIP - OATMEAL FACE MASK

*
Oatmeal tastes great -- but did you know that it works wonders on your skin?

Oatmeal can absorb impurities (like oil) from your skin, act as an exfoliant, and result in smooth, soft, and radiant skin!

**
  • 1/2 cup of Oatmeal
  • Water

Slowly add and mix water into the oatmeal by the tablespoon. Do not make it too runny! You want a nice thick paste to apply to you face.

Avoid your eyes and leave the mask on until dry. Wash off gently.

How gorgeous are these? I love the mix of the linen and patent leather textures.

HICKORY BBQ POTATO CHIP CRUSTED CHICKEN DINNER

DIFFICULTY LEVEL: OY!
*
Let's face it. Cooking dinner for friends can be a daunting task. Especially if they have children. And with the current economy, having friends over (with or without kids) will most likely be cheaper than going out to eat. Here is a dish that is sophisticated enough for adults, but kid-friendly too!
**
  • Chicken (I always prefer tenders)
  • Hickory BBQ Potato Chips
  • BBQ Sauce
Preheat the oven to 425.

In a food processor, chop the potato chips into small crumbs. Lay out the now potato chip crumbs onto a plate.

Take each piece of chicken and press onto the plate, covering the meat completely. No need for egg or anything like that.

Spray a tin foil lined tray with cooking oil. Arrange the chicken in one layer. Bring the heat in the oven down to 400, and toss the chicken in there for about 20 minutes.

Warm up the BBQ sauce in a microwave safe bowl.

How to Plate: Serve over corn and decorate the plate with some BBQ sauce!
