Beacon Hill Babe by Barefoot in Boston
Courtney has come up with another great outfit that I love.
I absolutely love the boots. I could use a stylist like Courtney to put me together in the morning. Of course, I need the budget to go along with it.

Killer Boardroom Style from Barefoot in Boston
I love this look. Although I'm not a "killer" in the boardroom, I do work in a conservative environment. This mixes it up a bit and would still work for me. Another great look from Courtney & Polvore. The woman has great style.

What's for Dinner? Beef Stroganoff
This is one of my son's favourites. It's mine as well, probably the sour cream, but this one calls for Cognac. What can I say it tastes divine.

What's for Dinner? Roast Chicken, Homemade Chicken Soup, Chicken Salad
I'm a big fan of anything that I can get a few different delicious meals out of. These receipes from Courtney are exactly what I need in my life.
They're all good so enjoy.

On a personal note my son has advised me that I should add that his favourite is the Chicken Salad. He ate enough of it this summer to know.

Polyvore & Courtney from Barefoot in Boston
Speaking of raising the bar, I've showcased a number of recipes from Courtney and she's still my favourite chef although I'm starting to feel strong enough with my cooking to branch out a bit. Her meals are delicious, made with easy to find ingredients, healthy... and I'm going to reveal something here... I've lost 25 lbs. So you can imagine why I'm a big fan. However, there is more to Courtney than just her cooking. She's a beautiful woman with impeccable taste in everything. Through her blog I recently found out about Polyvore. Surprisingly I wasn't really aware of it before. Her taste in clothing is showcased here and once again it's done with taste and style.

What's for Dinner? Steakhouse meal
When my son saw this on my computer screen his immediate reaction was "All right! Is that what we're having for dinner tonight? His face fell when I pointed out I would have to go out and buy some fresh steaks and I had chicken unthawed instead. He's been after me ever since and I finally broke down and purchased the steaks - completely blowing my diet in the process. I was really craving red meat anyway but I'm finding this whole living thing hard to do since my family were really into my new cooking style and truthfully so am I. However, no one seems too thrilled with the meals I've been making on the plan and have been complaining about it. So, I'm still trying to figure out how to do this. However, tonight... let them eat steak.

Recipe - Mac n' Cheese
This has become a classic at our house – Kraft dinner is no longer needed...
I’m pushing the Barefoot in Boston version – when I made this the first time my family went nuts. My father has retired as the official Mac n’ Cheese master and I’ve been crowned. Thank you Courtney.
I've changed it slightly so I'm putting the recipe up I used for my family who have been asking for it. Why does everyone ask me for these recipes when I'm trying to stick to healthy eating. I'm just making myself hungry.
Mac n' Cheese
1 box of preferred short cut pasta
2 cups of milk
3 tablespoons of flour
4 tablespoons of unsalted butter
3 oz of extra sharp cheddar
2 oz of asiago
1/2 teaspoon of grated nutmeg
Salt & pepper to taste
Italian bread crumbs
Parmesan Cheese
1 smoked ham steak - cubed
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Cook pasta to al dente. Meanwhile, heat the milk in a small saucepan over med low heat (don't boil.) Melt the butter in a medium pot and add flour. Cook over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring with a whisk. While whisking, add the hot milk and cook for a minute or 2 more, until thickened and smooth. Off the heat, add the Cheddar, and Asiago cheese. Add nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste. Add the cooked pasta and stir well. Pour into baking dish. Take either panko bread crumbs or Italian bread crumbs and parmesan cheese and sprinkle over the top. Bake for 25 minutes or until cheese is bubbling and bread crumbs are browned.

What's for Dinner? Spicy Shrimp Salad
Another Barefoot in Boston favourite...
I just didn't feel like cooking tonight and wanted something light. So here's a great recipe from Courtney. It’s just the right touch of spice for a great summer salad. You have to try it.
