Quick and Easy Pot Roast with Garlic Butter Potatoes


        I am always looking for a quick and easy meal for dinner, especially when I know I have tons of things to do during the day. Who wants to run around all day, then come home and cook a long drawn out meal?
This meal takes 15 min prep in the morning, then 5 minute prep in the evening with 25 minute cooking time!

For the morning part:
2 pound roast cut according to your choosing, I used rump roast for this
1 packet of Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning
1 packet of Lipton's Onion Mushroom Soup Mix
1 1/2 cups of water

Place the roast into a slow cooker on low. Add both packets of the seasoning mix and then the water over it. Set aside...this will be ready for you when you get home!!

Evening Part:
5 medium potatoes
4 cloves of garlic
1 stick of butter
1 tablespoon of italian seasoning

Preheat oven to 375
Slice potatoes into squares, place in baking pan
Add in stick of butter
Add in small sliced pieces of garlic and italian seasoning
Place in oven for 25 minutes

Now, I added croissant rolls in with mine and just added them into the oven 10 minutes before the potatoes were done.

Once the potatoes are done, everything is ready to go!! Tastes like you slaved over the oven but all in all it barely took 45 minutes of your time! The leftover pot roast can also be used the next day for sandwiches or even frozen for future use.

Hope you enjoy!

Zoya pixie dust Liberty

A nail friend of mine recently surprised me with Liberty from the Zoya Summer Pixie Dust line. I currently have the black one Dahila from the winter line and loved it!! Now, I didn't want the whole summer line because some are near dupes of the Julie G Gumdrop line and I have that collection. But, Liberty is definitely not a dupe. It has an amazing gorgeous bright blue color. The texture shines through with glitter. I did use two coats because with just one it was a bit streaky. I used Nail Tek extra as my base coat, which I've been using to help grow out my nails then I followed with two coats of Liberty. It looks great in regular lighting and I can't wait to see it in the sun!! As always Zoya never disappoints me!! You can purchase this at

Almost Free on Sally Hansen's Nail Products at CVS

This week from Sunday, May 5 to Saturday May 11 CVS is running an awesome, almost free deal on Sally Hansen Cosmetics! If you spend $10 you get $5 ECB. The even better part of this deal is that this Sunday's Red Plum should carry a 4.00 off $1 Sally Hansen polish. The polish in my stores run about $6.00, so with a 4/1 coupon you are only paying 2.00 a piece BUT the $6.00 counts toward your $10!

Here is a scenario:
Buy 2 Sally Hansen Nail Polishes @ 6.00 each
Use 2 4/1 Sally Hansen Polish Coupons
Total Out of Pocket would be $4.00 plus tax
Receive $5 in ECB to use for your next purchase
This makes it a money maker! You actually receive a dollar or a little less back for buying 2 bottles!

I personally love their Insta-Dri polishes they have out as well as their Total Manicure ones. They are really making the colors outstanding now.

Another great thing is the Beauty Club! Make sure you sign up at CVS! For every $50 purchased in beauty products you get $5 back in ECB. So this would put you $12 toward your goal!

Hurry and get yours!

Fried Food Friday

   I was raised in Texas, where everything is better fried. Tonight, I was in the mood for some good old fashioned country fried foods. I decided that I would make fried pork chops, home fries and fried corn. Sometimes I will be making a video of me cooking, but for now, I have tried to include some pictures along with step by step instructions. So, let's get started!!

Fried Pork Chops

3-4 Pork chops (I prefer the larger thin sliced ones which usually come in the assorted pack)
1 cup of self rising flour
3 tablespoons of chili powder
2 tablespoons of garlic powder
1 tablespoon of Lawry's garlic salt
1 tablespoon of pepper
1/2 tablespoon of oregano
1 1/2 cups of oil
First, add your flour and all the spices in to a bowl that will fit the pork chops. Wash the pork chops off with water and leave them a bit damp. Pour a good amount of oil in a deep skillet, I use about a cup and a half and turn it on medium.
Now, once you have all the spices and flour in the bowl stir well with a spoon to make sure that the spices and flour are mixed well together. Next, get a pork chop and coat it thoroughly with flour. I use tongs to do this that way my fingers aren't in the flour and there aren't spots without flour and I am able to dunk it around and get it really coated.
Now, it's ready to go into the oil which should be nice and heated. I usually throw a bit of flour into the oil to make sure it hot enough, it will bubble up a bit to let you know. Put the pork chop in the skillet and let it lightly brown for 2 minutes on one side. Then, take the tongs and flip it over and let it cook for 8 minutes. At this point, lower the heat a bit to medium/low. Flip the pork chop over and let it cook for another 8 minutes.


Pull it out and drain it on a paper towel. Repeat this process with the other pork chops. You can put more than one in a pan but the skillet I used was a bit small. Make sure when you are first browning them for the 2 then 8 minutes that the heat is on medium then turn it down for the other 8. This is key to getting a crunchy and good batter and making sure it's not burned but a nice brown color. The end result should look like this!

Home Fries

3-4 medium potatoes of your choice
1 red onion
1/2 cup of oil
2 tablespoons of Lawry's Seasoning Salt


Now with these, I usually prep them at the same time as the pork chops so they can be cooking in another pot while I fry my chops. Put the oil in a skillet on medium heat. Chop the potatoes and the onions into small squares. Then place into the oil and sprinkle the Lawry's on top.
You will cook on medium low heat for 25 minutes. Put a cover over it and make sure to stir the potatoes every 5 minutes or so to avoid sticking. Once they start to brown, take the cover off and turn up the heat to medium high and brown for 5 minutes. They are done with they are soft and brown. They should look like this!

Fried Corn on the Cob

2-3 full size ears of fresh corn
1 egg
3/4 cup of milk
Remaining seasoned flour from pork chops
Remaining oil from pork chops and potatoes

I always use fresh corn because to me it is sweeter. So once you shuck the corn, boil it in hot water for about 20 minutes until tender.

Combine the remaining oil from the pork chops and potatoes leaving out the bottom flour that has settled. Turn on medium high.Mix the egg and milk together in a bowl then dredge each ear of corn in the mixture
Then, coat the ear of corn entirely in the flour mixture making sure it is fully covered and shake off any excess flour.
Place the ears of corn into the hot oil and fry for 2 minutes on each side
Once it is golden brown on each side, remove and let drain on a paper towel

The overall dinner will look like this!! Highly fried and I am sure a bit fattening but oh so good!!
I added some hot sauce because what is a chop without some Louisiana hot sauce and of course some ketchup for the taters! If you have any questions feel free to comment or if there is a particular dish you would like featured just let me know!! Enjoy!!

Are You Ready to Enter Bunny's World?

      Thank you all for stopping by our little piece of the world. Recently, a light bulb came on in Kay's head and she thought that it would be total awesome sauce to put all my time I spend on the internet and her creative ability to good use! So, the launch of www.itsabunnysworld.com came to be!
      It is of course connected with our Facebook page www.facebook.com/itsabunnysworld , Twitter account https://twitter.com/ItsABunnysWorld  and our YouTube Channel www.youtube.com/itsabunnysworld. Seems like a lot of accounts, but we would love for you to like or follow them all! After all, you wouldn't want to miss something. I mean I could do a post that just rocks your world! Doesn't everyone need to know how to organize their sock drawer?
      Our main goal of having a social media presence is to be able to share things we know, experience new things and just make people smile. With that being said, we want to have a variety of things. I don't want you coming here every day (yes, I said every day) and just see the same type of topics over and over. I think there are enough one topic related blogs out there and I have way to much energy and glittery things going on to only focus on one thing.....oh look, squirrel!! Between Kay and I, I believe we can find something that will interest everyone. It may not be that particular day, but I am a positive Bunny and there is always the next day.
      This is a work in progress and I am sure things may change here and there as we learn and grow with ya'll. Themed days are planned and we hope to alternate a blog post with a video post each day.So there will always be plenty to talk about and I am open to researching and learning about things you would like to hear about! All comments will be answered because I want interaction, I want your thoughts and opinions and questions! Off the top of my head, I know that we will be featuring nails, couponing, cooking, books, movies, exercise, makeup tips, haircare (dreads and hair dying), places of interest in New York City, current events, fishing and of course my superstar bunny Thumper!!
                                                                  THUMPER
     There are tons more things that I know will be coming, but it's a little much to put all my ideas out there and it would probably bore you to death....This is kind of long as it is, so I might want to wrap it up before I lose you! So, a few more things, I am also lucky enough to know some other awesome bloggers who will be making guest appearances. Basically, it's going to be a great big hodgepodge of ideas made into blogs and How-To Videos!
      So please, sit back and enjoy the experience with us! I have learned you never know what life will give you, what you could learn or who you will meet so let's get this adventure started!
      After all, it it Bunny's world, so come along for the ride!
                                                                       BUNNY

Let's See if This Works
