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!

Operation Brunch- Theme: FALL!

Good Morning! Fall is in the air, and I couldn't be more thrilled! I know that many people would agree that fall is one of the best times during the year. The crisp air, and the changing colors just really make me happiest. This year is the first year I have a place of my own to decorate, so I am extra excited. I had pumpkins in our house the first day it was even a little bit chilly! So since I now have a house to host things in, its becoming my favorite season, AND I've been able to decorate for fall, I felt it was appropriate to host a fall themed brunch with my 3 oldest and closest friends! With us all living in different directions and having separate lives it's been a WHILE since the four of us got together. I'm so happy they all made it out here this weekend. It was a lovely day of laughing, drinking mimosas and casually annoying Scott while he tried to watch football. I'm also glad that I now have the opportunity to host casual events with m...

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...

Monday Make Up Haul

Happy Monday! Over the last few weeks I have acquired yet another unnecessary amount of makeup/ beauty products. See I've developed quite a bit of a makeup addiction in the last year. I would like to say all of my recent purchases were my way of "catching up" and obtaining all the "necessary" products to create a full make up look... but I would be lying. I have gotten carried away! And personally I don't mind. I love it! It's just that my bank account doesn't always agree with me. Such a downer ya know?! Anyway. the products below are my current daily necessity products :) Jaclyn Hill x Morphe Eye Master Brush Collection $62 $42 Maybe I'm just a loyal fan to Jaclyn Hill, but this collection has become my holy grail. The blending brushes are amazing. I like to think I'm pretty great at blending to begin with but I think this is a great starting place if you're not! There is also this little tiny brush that is the most ...
