Snickerdoodles {Paleo}
Confession… I love cookies. and cinnamon. But mostly cookies. I mean this is my second cookie post this week. Dogs and cats living together…MASS HYSTERIA! (name that movie and I’ll be your friend forever 😉 ) Enough about cookies… I am super excited today because I am headed to see one of best friends in the WHOOOLE world! Chrissy! WOOHOO! I love this girl so much. She actually just came to visit me but she’s got a big birthday coming up and I am SO excited to celebrate with her. Heading down to the Philly area to see some old friends and check out the old stomping ground and hang…

Cinnamon Crackle Cookies (& Wedding Stuff)
Holy cow… So, first off… HELLLLOOOO!!! Oh my gosh, it has been forever since I have posted. I missed you all so so much! It has been a crazy couple of months. But, I am married now! Can you believe it?! I can’t. It was quite possibly the most magical and happiest weekend of my life. Don’t get me wrong, it was stressful and hectic but it was amazing. We got to see SO many people we loved. So much family and so many friends. It was amazing! Not to mention the actual day of the wedding was so seamless. I cannot say enough about The Lord Thompson Manor and…

Cinnamon Streusel Oat Scones
Is it just me or is Christmas coming WAY too fast this year? I feel like it was just Thanksgiving and now Christmas is less than 2 weeks away! How does this happen? I am normally SO on top of my Christmas shopping. I normally have all my gifts wrapped and under the tree this year. I still have things that are shipping to me right now! Btdubs, I heart Amazon. They make shopping so easy…all I have to do is press the buy button and BOOM! It is there in 2 days. Love it! Anyways, I just feel rather unprepared this year for the holiday season and I am…

Spicy Oatmeal Cookie Crisps
Something about the smell of cinnamon makes me feel like the holidays are near. Cinnamon just has a warm smell to it and I love putting it in just about everything. Do you have something that comforts you? I just remember the smell of cinnamon permeating my house when I was little. I love everything about cinnamon. It tastes good, smells good, the color is vibrant, but you know what?? It is also good for you. Shut.the.front.door. Who would have thunk? Did you know that cinnamon is actually one of the best spices for you? Hell yes, bring on the cinnamon!! Here a just a few of the benefits of…

Pumpkin Honey Beer Bread
Happy Halloween!!! What are you being for Halloween? I have a party that I am going to on Saturday, and I will make sure to post some pictures on Instagram for you all to see. 🙂 Lots of things have been happening this month. October is my favorite month, always has been. But this October 2013 has run me ragged! I was so lucky to have one of my maids of honor come this past weekend to spend some time with me and visit the wedding venue to discuss what our next moves needed to be. I even tried on some wedding dresses! AHHH! Went for something completely on the…

Banana Bread
Happy hump day How’s the week going? My week has been rather busy. Lots of things going on. The guy who came in to do our second floor refinishing is here this week. Patrick and I are having him match the floor that we bought to replace the first floor wood. So far it looks really nice. Pictures to come. I think he should be done taking all our money by this weekend. We are going with dark color and I couldn’t be happier about it. Something about dark floors with really nice colonial white molding is so elegant and pleasing to my eye. In the end, I know it…

Maple Glazed Cinnamon Rolls
Are there certain things that your family only have around the holidays? Ever since I can remember, there would be piping hot cinnamon rolls waking me up on Christmas Morning. That smell of a fresh pastry right out of the oven sure does know how to get me out of bed. It is a tradition that my family has had ever since I can remember. Even now that I am in my late twenties, there is just nothing like that smell when you wake up on Christmas morning at your folks house, or when you walk in the door from your own home and you smell those amazing rolls. Yummm….my…

Snickerdoodles
Are you all geared up for Thanksgiving? Can you even believe it is here already?! This year has legitimately gone faster than any other year I think I can remember. People always told me when I was younger… “time goes faster as you get older”, oh pish posh! I would think. It could not be more true. AmIright? The older I get the more I think I forget to stop and think about what I am truly grateful for. You just get so busy that you forget to remember what is right in front of you. Today is a bit of reflection for myself. If any of you are friends…

Pumpkin Pie Cake with Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting
OK, so first off this day has been like the day from absolute hell. GAH! Work is driving me absolutely bonkers. I feel like I keep spinning my tires and doing all this work for people and then I get trampled on. Ever have those weeks? Can’t seem to get anything done, or do anything the way people want to see it. I am one of those people that NEVER half asses anything. I don’t have the ability to. It must be in my blood or something, because I will literally not be able to sleep at night if I don’t do something to my full ability. Anyways, I am…

Baked Cinnamon Swirl French Toast
Happy New Year!! I hope you all had a great time with whatever you did for New Year’s! The performance that I told you about went quite well, we actually have another performance this weekend on the 7th. Busy already in 2012! Sooooo unlike me 😉 This recipe I am sharing with you today you are going to love, especially if you like sweet stuff for breakfast. I personally don’t really like sweet things for breakfast… ::audience gasps:: I KNOW I KNOW, it is weird! I think it is because when I was little, and I think I told you all this before, I was allergic to artificial colors and…

Apple Pocket Tarts
You guys are awesome! Another Top 9. I am just blown away. Thanks bunch for buzzing my Apple Bread!! I have been on a bit of an apple kick lately. There are in season you know? Not to mention I love apples…LOVE them. Like I have before, I have an apple every single day. What is that saying “an apple a day, keeps the doctor away”? Something like that anyways. I always end up getting on these kicks with different ingredients and then make a ton of things with that one ingredient. I mean did you SEE all the pumpkin things I made? Not to mention the blueberry recipes…I wanted…
