Nikki + Steve - 6.16.2012

The Captain and I climbed to the top of Castle Rock. Behind us on the left is Canada, the right is Michigan, and the water is Lake Huron.
Our dear friends and neighbors, Nikki and Steve, were married this past weekend in St. Ignace, near Mackinac Island on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Sidenote of excitement: This was my first trip to Michigan!

Here are some great shots of our weekend road trip to celebrate the new Mr. and Mrs. Brosh:

The Bride made all of these adorable centerpieces made from wire and colorful beads, with silver sprayed Mason Jars filled with marbles for the base. The placemat she also made from woven ribbons tacked to a foam board. Each color placemat was the 'color'/name of that table.

Chalkboard Labels on Mason Jars were a treat for the guests!

Steve and Nikki, a.k.a. "Team Snik" had this pennant in their Engagement Photos, Save the Date postcards, and hanging here from their Head Table.

The Bride and Groom had their own adorable Mason Jars on pedestals.

These colorful fans were perfect to keep guests cool at the outdoor ceremony.

The colorful archway was a beautiful frame to a lovely ceremony set against a backdrop of Lake Michigan.

My own decorated Mason Jar with grown-up Pink Lemonade.

The Bride's diamond star necklace was the inspiration for their cupcakes.

The most appropriate cake topper, as the Bride & Groom even high-fived during their wedding ceremony.

The newlyweds.

Instant Pot Spaghetti and Meat Sauce 

Raise your hand if you LOVE washing dishes? Yes? Then this recipe isn't for you. Because dinner is done in one pot. Set it and forget it while you change into something more comfortable after a long day. Ingredients: 1 lb. ground beef 1/2 onion, diced 2 c broth or water 3 c (24 ounces) pasta sauce (marinara or tomato sauce recommended) 1 lb. any pasta (I used whole wheat high protein spaghetti) 2 T Italian Seasoning 1 t Onion Powder 1 t Garlic Powder 1/2 t salt 1/4 t black pepper Instructions: Set your pot to "Saute" and cook the ground beef, breaking up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Add the onion to the ground beef and they will cook together. Once it is cooked through (about 4-5 min), do not drain out the fat. **If you prefer to use frozen meatballs, skip the above steps, start with the meatballs in the bottom of your pot, then go from here:  Mix in all seasoning (Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper) Layer in ...

Instant Pot Chicken Marsala

Day two with my Crock-Pot Express (CPE), aka Instant Pot. Tonight, we are making Chicken Marsala, one of The Captain's favorites. Since I'm preparing to get back into the 21 Day Fix starting on January 15 (with the new 80 Day Obsession plan!), I'm going to enjoy the chicken and green beans only, while the rest of the family will have egg noodles with their chicken.
