Broccoli Cheese Soup
I don't know about ya'll but I thought we were done with snow and freezing temperatures! BUT there's a Nor'easter in the forecast today in NYC so comfort food is on the menu in my house tonight. This broccoli cheese soup from The Pioneer Woman soup is easy peasy! Takes about 45 mins perfect to whip up after work. Serve with a BLT, ham or turkey sandwich :-)
Broccoli Cheese Soup
Ingredients
1 stick butter
1 whole onion, diced
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups whole milk
2 cups half-and-half
1 pinch nutmeg
4 heads broccoli, cut into florets
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cups grated cheese (mild Cheddar, sharp Cheddar, Jack, etc.)
Chicken broth, if needed
Directions
Melt the butter in a pot over medium heat, and then add the onions. Cook the onions for 3 to 4 minutes, and then sprinkle the flour over the top. Stir to combine and cook for 1 minute or so, then pour in the milk and half-and-half. Add the nutmeg, and then the broccoli, a small dash of salt and plenty of black pepper.
Cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer until the broccoli is tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Stir in the cheese and allow to melt.
Taste the seasonings and adjust if needed. Then either serve as is, or mash with a potato masher to break up the broccoli a bit, or transfer to a blender in two batches and puree completely. (If you puree in a blender, return the soup to the heat and allow to heat back up. Splash in some chicken broth if needed for thinning.)

Kimye Cray!
When I first saw the episode of KUWTK & Kanyé gave Kim the makeover I hated it! But now I'm in love with her looks, it's so lux! Kimyé has me wanting to wear nothing but white, cream, black & leather...I cannot wait until after Easter #allwhiteeverything

I have never a fan of white shoes but Kimmie is making them look pretty good :-/ coincidentally Shoe Dazzle has some bomb ass white shoes for sale *Le sigh* I'm all in! I've never purchased from Shoe Dazzle but some coworkers of mine recently recommended them to me and I'm highly impressed.
Even her hair is giving me life a simple top knot and dark shades ughhh! The simplicity of it all is so FAB!

Rihanna for MAC
On Rihanna's B'Day she revealed that she has teamed up with MAC Cosmetics to create a collection. It will be available at a MAC pop-up shop on May 4th & 5th, when Rihanna’s tour stops at the Barclays Center here in NY.
She tweeted, “That’s right baby, I’m a #MACgal now! Get into it, package designed and products created from scratch by yours truly! Thanks to the EPIC team at #MAC for giving me the opportunity to play and share my favorite shit with my fans and yours.”
Honestly speaking I don't like the colors or packaging in the pic she tweeted, it's rumored that she has a a red lipstick called RiRi Woo if you know about Ruby Woo you know that color is the quintessential red lipstick...I'm hoping it's a dupe of that.
