Since its pumpkin season an all!

So since it's now fall and of course the season of pumpkin, I'm goin to share a little pumpkin recipe! I have been making pumpkin waffles and pancakes quite a bit. And I love to add sugar free pumpkin syrup (from target) to my coffee. BUT my job situation recently changed a bit leaving me poorer, but with more free time. So now some baking is to follow... Because who actually wants to use extra free time to study right?! I made some Pumpkin Cookie Butter Chocolate Chips Squares :D

To start, as soon as I caught sight of Trader Joes pumpkin cookie butter I had to have it. If there is anything that I have more of a problem with than peanut butter, it's that damn cookie butter. I can't keep it in the house. Only every time I go to trader joes I feel obligated to buy it. Bad planning. Can't help what you love right? Just how do I make an entire jar fit my macros regularly!!!

Thankfully the recipe used most of this beauty up. (Though there may have been some spoonfuls that went straight to my mouth along the way.) I also like to share my treats so I didn't consume all the cookie butter unfortunately.

Isn't it beautiful?!

Anywayyyyyy, here is the recipe.

1.5 cups almond flour

1/4 cup coconut flour

1/4 cup Truvia Brown Sugar Baking Mix

1 Egg

1 Cup of the lovely Pumpkin Spice Cookie Butter

And as many Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Chips as you please!

1. Mix it all together

2. Add chocolate chips in last

3. Press the dough into a 8x8 greased pan

4. Bake about 12 minuets at 350F

Just watch them, 12 minutes is more of an estimate. I have a tendency to leave the oven without a timer >.<

Then good luck not eating them all!

Chicago- The Initiation

Hi Guys! I recently had my first work trip out to Chicago! Of course I did have some work things to do, but we did have a decent amount of time to explore and do some touristy things. Day 1 This trip I got to go out there with one of my teammates which was fun. We did some of things we felt you HAVE to do when you are in Chi Town. Obviously the first thing we did after getting checked into our hotel was go find pizza! We went to Lou Malanati's and got these cute personal pizzas. This was a butter crust filled with cheese, a layer of sausage and a layer of sauce! I'm partial to pizza from my area of the country (NY, NJ). But for me you can't ever go wrong with extra carbs and cheese! After pizza we went to Cloud Gate, aka The Bean! I loved how the whole park was Chicago's version of Rockefeller Center. There was an ice skating rink, and a big pine tree decorated with lights! Our last stop for the day was the top of the John Hancock building...

Allow me to introduce myself...

Hello blogging world! My name is Dana and this blogging thing is not my specialty. But I'm hoping to make it my specialty! Even if I'm the only one who cares about it. Ha ha ha...ha.......ha.. So anyway I have been debating blogging for a while now, and what better time to decide to start than on a rainy rainy night you should be studying anatomy! Procrastination at it's finest. I will try to make this short. Hmmm maybe I will do bullet form! :D ^^ That's me!! I am 25 years old. Sometimes I think that's young. And some days I just feel like I'm getting so old! I love donuts...in case the name didn't give that away. There is also a chance that I am deeply addicted to peanut butter. But also I love snacks. So much so I actually buy snacks and hide them so no one else can have them before me...or in general. (Selfish..I know. But what can I say!) I like to call this snack hoarding. Whether that's good or bad, I...

A Condo Closet Paradise

Recently we were woken up by what seemed like life just throwing annoying house issues at us. The closet "system", which was really just a long pole stuck into the two ends of the room came crashing down one morning! I had been saying this was going to happen for days, but it finally happened. All of our clothes, boxes, and random junk we kept in the closet now sprawled all over the floor. WHAT A WAY TO WAKE UP...am I right?! See, with me recently moving in with Scott (my boyfriend of 4 years 😋), came a lot more stuff that the closet wasn't equipped to handle apparently! I was "slowly" moving bags of clothes and hanging them up without Scott knowing. (I did it when he wasn't home... shhh....). But because the closet was being used by a man who has far less clothes, and really only likes maybe 4 t-shirts it became very noticeable it was an issue. But we just continued living hoping for the best. Now to be completely honest, this closet nee...
