I'm a Get 'Em Girl!

Ok, this looks REALLY crazy because I had to copy and paste a newsletter, but just scroll down and you can see little 'ole me! Thanks to Stacey for forwarding it to me lol. Thanks to the person that sent in my info!! They would NOT tell me and yes I did ask!  Made my day today. 

Oh yeah and my PC crashed..like DIED, or something. I have the dreaded Blue Screen of Death. I think I have talked my husband into a MAC desktop! I will fix the PC though, and let the kids play on it. Maybe I'll keep it WHO knows ! ALL of my stuff is on my external hard drive(and my external hard drive is backed up on a few disks AND online lol) so I will probably plug it up to my MAC to get my pics off, so hopefully pics I can show you guys some pics SOON!

Toodles!

Recipes that are sure to make a winning impression on that special someone. Chicken Marsala Serve-with ideas: Buttery White Rice PREP TIME: 10 minutes COOK TIME:  20 minutes READY IN: 30 minutes YIELDS: 4 servings INGREDIENTS 4 boneless and skinless chicken breast 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon Kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 teaspoon dried oregano 4 tablespoons olive oil 6 tablespoons butter, divided 1 cup sliced button mushrooms 1/2 cup Marsala wine 1/4 cup chicken broth DIRECTIONS Place chicken breast in between two pieces of parchment paper and pound chicken breast to 1/4-inch thickness; set aside. Combine the flour, salt, pepper, and oregano in a shallow bowl. Heat the olive oil and 4 tablespoons of butter together in a large skillet over medium heat. Dredge the chicken in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess flour and carefully place the chicken in the skillet. Cook, flipping once, until lightly browned on both sides, about 2 minutes per side and transfer to a plate. Next, add the mushrooms to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms begin to brown. Turn the flame completely off and add the Marsala wine. Turn the flame back on to medium and bring the wine to a boil, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to remove any browned bits. When the wine has reduced by half, add the chicken stock and continue cooking until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 4 minutes. Lower the heat to medium-low and return the chicken to the pan. Continue to cook until the chicken is cooked throughout and the sauce has thickened, about 7 to 8 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Serve immediately over rice or your favorite pasta.  WINE PAIRING: King Estate Pinot Gris 2006-White Wine Advertisement The Get 'Em Girl Cookbook set is the sure-fire recipe for a wonderful holiday meal!

I am rough on all of my handbags.  No matter the designer Gucci, Coach or Target; all of my handbags get the same treatment.  I am the female who will sit a white handbag on a restaurant floor without so much as a thought (just plain foolishness!).  However, at a recent Girls' Bite In a young lady introduced me to the Purse Hook.  The Purse Hook comes in two different colors (gold and silver) and can hold up to 35 pounds.  You can find the Purse Hook at your local Bed Bath & Beyond. My only problem now is figuring what item I should remove from my handbag in order to meet the 35 pound restriction. Shakara

Get 'Em Girl's Favorite Links: The Get 'Em Girl's Blog The Official G Myspace Page Now that you have the food in order, how about setting the mood with the perfect Get 'Em Girl playlist! We are giving you one more week of Mary...just in case you're still sleeping! The Queen is Back!  Mary has blessed us with her eighth studio album, "Growing Pains."  I could go on and on about this album, however you can check out my review at: http://officialgetemgirls.blogspot.com/ Shakara Adrienne Nixon is truly an inspirational person; when she's not conducting her weekly podcast ( Conversations with Adrienne), creating beautiful memories through her gorgeous photography ( Adrienne Nixon Photography), or adding to her extensive scrapbook collection for her local scrapbook store ( Scrap Etc.), she's attending to her three beautiful children and husband of 10 years. Although most of us would have stopped at the husband and three children, Adrienne still finds time for her other loves; knitting and sewing. When we think about how we want to define a Get 'Em Girl, women like Adrienne are the prototype. It is important to understand that Adrienne is not just an entrepreneur/mother/wife, she is on top of all of those things, battling cervical cancer. So when we highlight all that Adrienne Nixon does and is, recognize that she does it all while going through radiation—and yet she still finds the time to educate women on the importance of yearly examinations, prevention, and treatments. So to close out the year, we thought, let us save the best for last! Thank you Adrienne for touching your circle of Get 'Em Girls and in turn, touching us! We will continue to pray for your successful recovery! For more information on how you can help end cervical cancer visit www.say-something.org. You can order a FREE Say Something toolkit (you just have to pay for shipping) and make donations! To see all of our Get 'Em Girls' of the Week for 2007, please visit our blog. See you in 2008!
