New Shop Photos

You ask and you shall receive here at Decor and the Dog.  (Unless your request is less Ike photos or for me to not type random nonsense.  I can't grant those wishes.)

We had requests for Miley to be added to our Photo Shop.  (I really should have given her a better name. Not that Miley is a bad name. What I mean is that I should have named her after someone more dignified. Is this how parents feel when naming a newborn?  So much pressure.) 

Our lovely dining room cow is paired with some other great Midwest farm photos that Nate took this fall.  The black and white rolling hills photo was taken a couple of miles from our house.  The lower three photos were taken in South Dakota.

The photos are listed in the shop individually and also as a bundle.

Head on over to our shop to check out the new additions and the option to add Miley to your home!  (They're located at the bottom of the page!) We'd love to see how you use them in your home decor!

Dining Room Cow

Ike and I want to adopt a cow.  This cow.

I named her Miley.  The tongue.  It kills me.

Nate snapped this shot in October while staying at his cousin's house in South Dakota.  It's a good thing I wasn't along because I think I would have had to buy a trailer to bring her home with me.

Instead she is now living in our dining room.  Because every "formal" dining room needs a cow on the wall.  Am I right?  

I think she complements our antiques sign quite nicely

I smile every time I walk by.  I love that she is now our front door greeter.  Well, along with Ike.

We ordered the canvas from CanvasLifestyle during an Amazon Local deal.  The price was right.  We're happy with the quality of the canvas.  Our only complaint is that it took a month to arrive.  (Their estimated turn around time is 10-22 business. Ours took closer to 30.)

I think our dining room is now complete.  I think.  Until next month.

***Psst.  Miley is now up for sale in our Photo Shop!***

Crockpot Rotisserie Chicken

Fact: Meat, although delicious, is disgusting looking and therefore hard to photograph. (Sorry vegetarians.)

Fact:  This recipe will change your life.  Or allow you to be really lazy on Sundays.  Both have happened to Nate and I.

I had seen 1 million recipes for crockpot rotisserie chicken floating around on the ol' Pinterest.  They were all basically coat the chicken in olive oil and rub on spices to your liking.  We've finally concocted our liking.

I hate crockpot recipes that require 40 minutes of prep.  What's the point of a crockpot?  To be a lazy cook.  This recipe. 5 minutes.  We eat it almost every other Sunday. It's such an easy meal idea.   It's also the best way to make sweet potatoes.  Slow cooked and soaked in chicken fat.

The only bummer of this recipe is pulling the junk out of the chicken's bum.  I always get really excited when Target has the chickens without the junk inside.  (Tip: If the grossness is still inside, wrap your hand in a baggy and scream like a school girl when you pull it out.  Totally helps.)  Who's hungry?

Happy weekend!  Any big plans? I honestly haven't thought that far ahead.  I do know we have another round of snow coming.  Awesome.  Not.
