My weekend was great! I hope yours was too!
Yesterday my dad came over and brought my treadmill to me, and he ate Crock-Pot Chicken Tacos with me for dinner. They were pretty good.
Literally just 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts, a jar of salsa, and taco seasoning. Turned the crock-pot on high for 4 hours. Pulled the chicken out to shred, and then added some canned Jalapenos at the end, but, I really didn't notice them.
I saved a couple cups of the shredded chicken to make Chicken Tortilla Soup later too.
After that, the Boyfriend and I went to my friend's house and had some adult beverages, and played that corn hole game. I like it, it's that beanbag/toss in the hole cut out. And then we came home, and I watched my CBS Sunday Morning, and my little sister sends me a text asking what I am doing in the afternoon, and perhaps she and her son would like to come over. So I offered up dinner, and that set in motion the rest of my day!
Once the Boyfriend awoke, I let him know we would be having company for dinner, and that we would be needing to go get groceries sooner than later. Because I wanted some time for my salads I would be making to marinate.
We ended up with Corn on the Cob, Hot Dogs, Hamburgers, Creamy Cucumber Salad, Broccoli Salad.

| My first attempt at a gradient cake with ombre frosting. |
I am not going to lie, I used 2 box white cake mixes, and added blue and violet food coloring to the Buttercream Frosting I made. There was a lot of frosting, I made 3 batches, and used it all.
For both the cake and the frosting, I used more food coloring for the dark blue then I did for the lighter blue layers.
The frosting was Wilton's Buttercream frosting recipe. I used a basic ombre technique I found here.
My 2 year old nephew poo'd blue the next day... :)
Have you made a gradient cake or ombre frosting? They are all over Pintrest - I would love to see or hear about your creation!
