This Sunday was pretty chill I did some cleaning and eating and relaxing. Just like I like it 
Remember how I have the most tragic Pink Sink? Well, it’s still alive and well because we have a long list of house repairs to do before anything cosmetic. So, even though it embarrasses me to show you my pepto bismo décor I want to show you how I finally organized my make-up!
I picked up this drawer organizer at Target last week. It’s too big to fit in the drawer, but maybe having it on the counter will mean I’ll actually use this stuff more than once a week. Maybe.
Hi! 
Now to address the “Too Thick” title. I think thickness is a reoccurring theme in my life. I’ve come to terms with it by only buying stretchy pants and making sure everyone I’ve ever met knows I’m Mexican and will hopefully not judge my latin curves (you know, cause that’s racist). 
But, dinner tonight was almost a disaster because it is too thick…
A coupon for Pillsbury biscuits gave me the best idea for dinner – Chicken Pot Pie! I was on a mission to have it, so even though I did the most epic grocery haul yesterday I went out to pick up the last few essentials. 
The picture showed bread sticks, but I got the Target brand big biscuits because I’m cheap and they’re amazing (and BIG, did you get that part?).
Unfortunately, the top part of the biscuits cooked, but the bottom was soft dough!!! I didn’t’ realize until I went to serve it. #FoodFail
I ended up cutting off the top part of each biscuit and putting the pan back into the oven to finish cooking. 
But, what was I going to do with all those biscuit tops?! 
If it’s not obvious that I ate them, then you don’t know me at all. Hey, maybe that’s why I’m so thick. Oh well…
The finished product was not as nice to look at, but it still tasted delicious.
I served it up with green beans cooked in Italian dressing and 21 Seasoning Salute. 
I think I’ll enjoy a little dessert while I watch the Real Housewives of New Jersey.
See you tomorrow!
i wonder if it would taste any good without the chicken? i’m a vegetarian…hmmm
Next time if your tops are cooking faster than your bottoms, just put foil over the top of your pan (this way the goodies keep cooking, but there is no burning :))
I made my pot pie with biscuits as well and the trick is to halve them before you bake. Then bake at 350 for 30 minutes and they will be perfect
Very good idea to cut off the tops of the biscuits! I am trying to get better about trying to find ways to save dinner instead of giving up and eating cereal or something for dinner.
I saw those and my first thought was “mmmmmmm……biscuits….”
I totally don’t think you look thick. You’re in awesome shape. Own it, girl!
I love biscuit tops, especially when you spray that butter stuff on that. BTW – That butter stuff is incredible. I always want to open the top and just dump it on stuff.
Cutting off the tops was a great idea to salvage dinner. I wouldn’t be able to handle under cooked biscuits either, doughy textures makes me gag!
I’ve been wanting to make a chicken pot pie for awhile now and I have some extra frozen puff pastry dough in my freezer…seems like that might work. You’ve inspired me to give it a shot, what’s the worst that could happen?
Also, I second many of the ladies ^ above when I say you are looking super fit these days. Obviously, I understand you have your own goals – especially as a serious runner, but I hope you see that your hard work is paying off.
Dinner looks good. I have a decent crockpot recipe for chicken and dumplings if you are interested. Hope you are feeling better and enjoying your taper.

Nothing wrong with being too thick 😉
Chix pot pie looks delish!
Made it to TJ’s this weekend and got some 21 Salute, per your suggestion. What should I use it on first? I’m thinking some steak kabobs on the grill.
The only meat I really cook is ground turkey, so I know it works on that 🙂 Also, anything roasted!
I also have a an incredibly pink sink! In fact, my entire bathroom is pink! We rent however, and so I think we are stuck with it for a while!!
That looks pretty organized and you look AMAZING. We’re moving soon and I keep trying to find a makeup organizer that will ship all my stuff. It’s hard to do (even harder to actually use!).
Girl, I just have to say, you are looking amazing!!!! I’ve honestly thought you were always crazy for trying to loose weight b/c I think you are perfect but these past few weeks, I’ve definitely noticed. Maybe you’re just rocking tighter clothes. LoL Either way, you look great my dear!
Thank you Lauren, you are too sweet. I was thinking about you this weekend…going to your blog to say why 🙂
I do a similar pot pie but with crescent roll dough rolled out on top for the crust. Works like a charm.
I told Ben I am using cresent rolls next time, I know how to work with those a little better 🙂
I think you really look great in the mirror picture above. I know you are still trying to lose a few pounds, but I think you look very healthy and happy!
Looks like the pot pie came out well in the end. I fell off the real housewives of NJ train a while ago, but I am wrapped up in the BH season right now!
I am watching BH too, but didn’t like it last season. I just got sucked in because of the whole Taylor thing.
Ive never had the thick biscuits on pot pie but Im sure they would taste delicious.
I like you Monica – I just really do. 🙂 That’s the main thing I wanted to say…I could comment on your humor, down-to-earth personality, and good taste in food (of COURSE those biscuit tops should be eaten) but I’ll just say I like you. Have a great week!
Hi Bonnie, I saw you on twitter this morning and meant to say Hi too 🙂 Hope you’re doing well!
I absolutely would have downed those biscuit tops, too. Can’t let em go to waste! (Plus they’re delicious, sooooo….)
My go-to chicken pot pie recipe actually uses Bisquick for the topping. It’s so quick-and-easy…and everyone in my family loves it!
