Pretty in Polka

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
 Everywhere I go... 
Except we are getting some warm temperatures up here... And I love it! The longer I can wear my non-winter clothes, the better. On the other hand, I love seeing all the Christmas decor up. Unfortunately, this year I won't be decorating much because we are in the middle of a move and it's going to  take a while. 
Although, no snow and 60s? I'll take that over any decorations...
Have a great day and thank you for reading!

Spinach & Cheese Rolls {recipe}


Once in a while I find a recipe that's just easy to make and really yummy. Then my mom finds it tasty (which happens very rarely), and it becomes a winner.
These rolls are super-duper easy to make. You can put anything you want inside but this is my take on the 
Spinach and Cheese Rolls.
Makes about 30 rolls. 


Ingredients:
2 sheets of puff pastry (I used Pepperidge Farm)
1 bag of spinach
1/4 lb of turkey pastrami (or ham)
1 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese
1 egg
1 tbsp of water
1tsp of olive oil
garlic and onion seasoning


Preparation:
Thaw the puff pastry according to package instructions. Cut the pastrami into small pieces, then fry the spinach with 1 tsp of olive oil just until it starts to wilt. 
Roll out on sheet of dough on lightly floured surface. Take a pin roller and smooth out all the edges. Don't roll the dough too much or it will become too thin. 
Beat the egg with water and s=brush the surface of the dough. Evenly spread half of the pastrami, spinach and cheese.


Roll the dough tightly into a long cannon, then cut pieces with extra sharp knife (about 15 pieces)
*The thinner you want your rolls to be, the less stuffing you should use, as they won't cook through with all the cheese*


Lightly oil a baking sheet or aluminum sheet and spread the rolls evenly on a pan. Brush each roll with the egg and water mixture.


Bake the rolls on 400F for about 15 minutes, then turn them over and put back into oven for another minute or two. Be careful not to burn them on the other side, as you just want the cheese to brown a little.


Cool the rolls until you can handle them with your hands and enjoy!

I absolutely love Christmas season. And with it being December 1st tomorrow, I think, it's time to start working on your wishlists. This on is just that - a wishlist, that only leaves to hope for the best. 
Next week I will have couple of posts with all kinds of gifts - from cheap to absolutely to-die-for. So if you have time, and like to drool over some of the most incredible designer pieces (well maybe except Gap pajamas, that's just so my hubby's life is a little easier) take a look at some of my picks. 

I want - the oversized golden watch by Marc Jacobs. It's an accessory that can be worn practically with everything.
I need - the rocker/glider for our baby's nursery. I want to nurse therefore need something comfortable that's going to support me for hours on end. 

So hurry down the chimney tonight

Feeling Blue

sweater: Gap, blazer: thrifted, jeans: Liz Lange Maternity, shoes: TJMaxx,  necklace: NY&Co
 Sometimes feeling blue is perfectly OK. Staying at home in your PJs and drinking hot cocoa. Or simply hanging out in bed and watching all your favorite movies. 
On the other hand, when feeling blue and staying home isn't an option, why not wear your feelings on your sleeve? Literally.
I love the color of this jacket and how it goes with practically everything. Add to that a 100% wool material and you got yourself a favorite.
So is feeling blue in blue helps?  
You decide.

What Color Is That?


sweater: J.Crew, blazer: Gap, skirt: thrifted, shoes: Aldo, necklace: uknown

Between my mom and my sister, and couple of other people in church, the color of my tights have been misinterpreted. It's a mustard color people, which I, for one, think goes perfectly well with teal, but apparently I had Jaundice legs. 
I must say that it takes huge amount of energy to find something that fits now-a-days. Therefore, scarves, jewelry and different color tights are the things that un-blah my clothes. Honestly, I feel more comfortable in a skirt then jeans (weird, I know). So my work uniform is skirt, heels (still) and sweater.
But the college is over in two weeks (yay) and I can just live in my soft pink PJs, which my hubby says make me look very homey (whatever that means)
I guess that's better then Jaundice legs.
