Refreshing & Easy Shoe Peg Corn Salad

Refreshing & Easy Shoe Peg Corn Salad
Good morning! I’m veering away from fashion & beauty today to share a side dish I tried this past weekend. It’s a Refreshing & Easy Shoe Peg Corn Salad and it’s soooo good! I had to share it with you!

We’re heading into Memorial Weekend which is the unofficial start of summer. Cookouts are a big part of summer and this is a great dish to add to your summer meals.

You know it’s easy or I wouldn’t be sharing it, so here’s all you need:

  • 2 cans shoe peg corn, drained, 11 oz. (I used Green Giant steam crisp shoe peg corn.)
  • 1 English cucumber ( You can use a regular cucumber but remove the seeds.)
  • Grape tomatoes sliced (I used around 15.)
  • Sweet onion, finely chopped (I used about 1/4 cup.)
  • Mayonaise (I added a little more than 1/4 cup.)
  • Salt & Pepper

Place drained corn, sliced cucumber, sliced grape tomatoes and sweet onion in a bowl. Add mayonaise, salt & peper. Chill in the refrigerator for a few minutes and then serve. If you don’t like pepper you don’t have to use it, but it does give it a great flavor!

That’s it! I’m definitely going to be fixing this over the holiday weekend!

Are you cooking out this weekend? What are your Memorial Weekend plans?

Beauty for the Heart~~I love summer! I have so many great summer memories of playing at the pool, picnics, staying outside with all the neighborhood kids until dark and Mom having to make us come inside. As summer begins I want to make memories with my family.

Let’s take time to enjoy the simple things like sunshine, flowers, birds, and warm breezes. Summer comes and goes so quickly and I want to soak up every minute of it!

I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. Psalm 104:33

Have a blessed day!

Beauty For the Heart~~I loved what my devotion said this morning. It was just what I needed to hear. “Don’t let the impact of the world shatter your thinking or draw you away from focusing on Me. The ultimate challenge is to keep fixing your eyes on Me, no matter what is going on around you.” -Jesus Calling by Sarah Young

Have a blessed day!

How I Whiten My Teeth (YouTube Video)

How I Whiten My Teeth!

Two words I have for you today are grace and patience. I’m trying to get the hang of vlogging but oh there’s definitely a learning curve! Today I’m talking to you about How I Whiten My Teeth.

Quick Disclaimer: Before doing any whitening treatment I highly recommend you see your dentist first. I am a licensed dental hygienist by profession and I’ve been practicing for quite a few years. The opinions in the video are my own!

Did this help at all? Do you have any other questions about whitening your teeth?

Beauty For the Heart~~Obviously my prayers are with the people in Oklahoma. My heart aches for all the loss of life but oh how it especially aches for the children.

I long for the day when “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” Revelation 21:4

Hug those you love a little tighter and lets be thankful for each day we have!

Maxi Skirt Fashion For Women Over 40

You’ve probably noticed all the maxi skirt fashion for spring and summer. Some of you have emailed me and asked if women over 40 can wear them. Can I just say “Yes!” This is a great trend for women over 40!

The key is knowing how to style them for your body type. If you are thin with slender hips you can wear them with your shirts tucked in or tied at the waist.

But if you’re like me, and you’re curvy in your hip area then it’s better to leave your shirt out (this is my opinion). If I tied a knot at my waist, it would accentuate my hips and they don’t need any accentuating!

You can’t see my shoes but I wore black sandles. I also added my jean jacket because I wore this to church and I felt I needed to cover up a little.

Lastly, if you have some extra weight in your stomach area, you can wear a looser fitting blouse over your maxi skirt.

Have you tried wearing a maxi skirt this spring? How do you wear your skirt?

Beauty For the Heart~~To make sure our convictions, views, and assumptions about our Creator stay based on biblical truth and not on popular consensus, we must continually check what we believe against the Scriptures.” -Dr. Erwin Lutzer

Have a blessed day!

Happy Sunday!

Happy Sunday friends! I have a busy day of worship and family time. We are celebrating my cousin’s graduation from college.

Jena, my cousin, did not have an easy childhood. Her graduation from college is truly a celebration and I’m so proud of her!

Today, I’m sharing a song that’s a few years old but I still love it. Enjoy!

What are your plans today? I hope it’s a great day!
