Easy Entertaining for Everyday Celebrations
I’ve gotta admit, I have some AMAZING girlfriends in my life. And, although I try to make sure they know how much I appreciate them and their friendship throughout the whole year, I’m alllll about celebrating them for a holiday too! Plus, galentine’s day just gives me another excuse to hang out with them! If you’re throwing a galentine’s day soiree this year, these galentine’s day photo booth props are SO easy to make and take no time at all to put together! And they are SO cute!
I’m definitely more of a stay home and celebrate Valentine’s day kinda girl. I don’t love waiting hours for dinner at a restaurant, or making reservations 3 months in advance, but any excuse to make a delicious dessert to share with someone special….yep, count me in. And this one is a total winner! It’s easy to make, quick to bake, and who doesn’t love a warm cookie with a gooey center? Plus, it’s the perfect size for two! And did I mention red velvet? This red velvet skillet cookie for two just might become your new fave…and for good reason!
Another day and another new month! And you know what that means….another new printable calendar! This printable February 2019 calendar is a little bit “sweeter” than last month, and fits in perfectly with a pink obsessed holiday that happens on the 14th of the month. Plus, it involves coloring chocolates and hearts. Come on.
Whether you are a Valentine’s day fan or not, can we at least agree on how great it is when the candy and chocolate goes on clearance the day after? I think that should be the real holiday!
Skip the take and bake and make some homemade pizza from scratch! It’s a lot easier than you think and this spicy chicken sausage pizza recipe is a great place to start 😉
The dough and sauce can be make ahead of time, which means less time in the kitchen. And another great thing about this pizza is that you bake it in a sheet pan! No fancy pizza pan needed!
Breakfast has to be my favorite meal of the day. (Brunch included). I always loved when my mom would make it for dinner when I was growing up and I still make breakfast for dinner even now. (Because, let’s be honest, breakfast for dinner is ahhhh-mazing). I plan my vacations around which breakfast spots I want to try, and I’m the first to suggest a brunch get together with friends. To say my life revolves around breakfast is a bit of a stretch, but not too far off. If there’s a griddle involved, I’m there. And these blueberry waffles with lemon curd are no exception. Fresh blueberries take this homemade waffle batter to another level and the lemon curd….sooooooo good. They are the perfect meal to make for breakfast or brunch this weekend (or dinner, if you’re feeling crazy 😉 )
This year, I decided to add a new series to the blog called “Hooked”, a monthly post where I round-up everything that I’m currently obsessing over and what’s got me hooked this month! I’ll be featuring a little bit of everything and hope that it’s a fun way to introduce you guys to something new. And who knows…you might just get hooked too!
I’m all about a yummy citrus cocktail, especially in the middle of citrus season when citrus fruits are at their peak. And one that’s easy to make AND gorgeous? SOLD.
Luckily, this easy paloma cocktail recipe hits all the marks. It’s full of delicious grapefruit, is oh so pretty, and even has a grapefruit sugar rim…what’s not to like? When you see how simple it is to make, it might just become your new fave. (It’s definitely one of mine!)
Despite the snow and freezing temperatures that this month brings, I do love the month of January. The idea of a fresh start is inspiring and despite how great or terrible the last year went, there’s an underlying feeling of starting over with a clean slate and leaving bad habits or mistakes in the past. Some people don’t like the pressure of starting a new year with resolutions or goals, but I’m a big believer in writing them down so that they really resonate with me. For me, another year is another opportunity to keep growing in a positive way. And my 2019 goals will hopefully reflect that this year! So with that, I’m diving into today’s post which is all about my 2019 goals. Some are personal, some are professional, and some are just fun!
