I have a major coffee addiction, specifically non-fat triple-shot vanilla lattes 🙂 I used to go and buy a vanilla latte every. single. morning. That is until three years ago when Mars bought me an espresso machine for my birthday!!!!! (fueling my latte addiction) Continue Reading…
I can’t believe it has already been a whole year since this sweet little bug entered the world. She has filled our lives with so much love and laughter. I feel to lucky and proud to be her mama 🙂 Continue Reading…
Everyone loves tacos. And these fish tacos with a creamy chipotle sauce are too delicious (and easy) not to try! Continue Reading…
We have survived one month (or almost 2 months at this point) with a newborn! It really is true what everyone says, being a mom is the hardest job you will ever do. I’m not going to sugar-coat anything, since our little girl Luna was born, it has been the most challenging time of my life, Continue Reading…
These are literally the BEST chocolate chip cookies! This is the first recipe I have ever made that didn’t turn out flat, pathetic, and unappetizing. Instead, these are SO thick, a little crunchy when they first come out of the oven and if you have enough self control to not eat the whole batch in one night Continue Reading…
Our kitchen remodel is finally done! We started the first weekend of December. My husband decided to take a few days off of work and try to get as much done in a 5 day stretch as possible. While he did get quite a bit done in that time, there was still so much more to do! Hence why it is just now finished Continue Reading…
It’s that time of year where I seem to be shopping non stop and am constantly on the hunt for the perfect gifts for family and friends. I thought I would share some of my favorite picks (all under $100!!) for the girly girl in your life, be it your mom, girlfriend, sister I think anyone would love to be gifted one of these!
I have been so excited to start the nursery, especially since we found out we were expecting a little girl! To be honest, I have had a vision in mind of what I wanted the nursery to be like since before I was even pregnant. Since its a space that my husband and I will obviously spend a lot of time in, I wanted it to feel comfortable to both of us and baby. I also didn’t want it to be too baby-ish. I wanted pieces that would grow with baby girl and not be things we would end up getting rid of as soon as we were out of the baby stage. Overall I wanted the room to be light and bright with all the furniture being white with natural wood accents, modern, and not too girly. I’ve ridden horses since I could walk so I was obviously going to incorporate horses/unicorns into the room. And that is really the theme I have run with, although, not too over-the-top 🙂
These are some of the pieces we have either already purchased or plan to purchase. Now we just need to clear out the room so we can actually start putting everything together!
I’m 6 months into my pregnancy and these have been a few things that I have been loving.
Over the weekend I got a very pregnant craving for donuts. So I whipped up these with a few of my own touches 🙂 They are SO delicious! Probably why there are only 3 (soon to only be 2) left out of the full dozen batch…oops.
Here is the recipe along with the few changes I made to make the recipe my own.
For the topping I went with a chocolate cinnamon combination. I LOVE chocolate and cinnamon together, especially this time of year.
Basically you just want to mix all the dry ingredients together first. I usually sift them together to get a little fluffier doughnut, and then add all the wet ingredients in and mix everything together. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes in a doughnut pan like this one I got from Target. The dough will be thick so I use two spoons to kind of spread it around each doughnut slot in the pan.
For the topping you just want to pour the chocolate chips, milk and cinnamon in a small pot and heat it up slowly over the stove until smooth and not too thick. You can add a little more milk if you think the mixture is not thin enough. Once the doughnuts have cooled enough to handle turn them upside down into the chocolate mixture and just spin them around a few times to ensure they are covered. Sprinkle with whatever topping you like and enjoy!
