One thing I think most people who don’t adventure into “blogland” often don’t understand is how so many girls say that they have made “friends” through this random space and through their blogs. I was that way with a real life friend in Mobile who always talked of the lasting relationships she made through her blog & how close they were. But until you have been on this side of things, you will never understand! So, Evan, I completely understand now.
That being said, I am excited to introduce you to some of my favorite bloggy buds each month & have them share a recipe or project with y’all! Be sure to check out the other lovely guest-posters {DIY or recipes} I’ve had on the blog if you haven’t already. Today, say hello to sweet Emily today who has been such a delight to get to know, and a huge help with lots of my questions related to this space. If you are a newlywed (or have decided that you will forever be a newlywed) you should check out her space! She has a quick and simple recipe to share with y’all, so enjoy!
Hi everyone! My name is Emily and I blog over at Newlywed Moments about everything from romance to recipes to real life. I want to begin by saying thank you so much to Lauren for letting me guest post here today! What a privilege it is to be here and get to know you lovely readers!
Some random facts about me: A year ago, I got married to Hudson – my best friend and high school sweetheart. I love Jesus. I hate coffee but I’m still addicted to Starbucks. I’m from the northeast but secretly wish I lived in the south. Oh, and I absolutely LOVE making blog friends…so make sure you come “visit” my blog! But enough about me…today, I am sharing with you a recipe for chicken and broccoli stir fry!
First, let me explain how this recipe came about. Our kitchen was looking pretty bare and literally the ONLY things we had were chicken and broccoli. Isn’t that how it always is?!
I looked through recipe after recipe, and it literally seemed like each one had an ingredient I didn’t have. So after searching “chicken and broccoli recipes” and “what to put in a recipe if you don’t have (fill in the blank)” galore, I came up with THIS. And yes, my friends, it turned out delicious!
