Music for Mondays: She is Love

Happy Halloween!! I hope your day is full of spooky fun!! How is it already the last day of October!? I am so excited about the song I am sharing today, because it is one of my favorite songs of all time!

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday! Every time the week comes to and end and I sit down to write my Friday Favorites post, I can hardly believe how fast the weeks go by!! Here are my favorite things from this week:

Party Games: Celebrity Pairs

This game is a great way to start a party, because it gets people talking and it is a great way to get party guests in pairs for future games. Here is how I do Celebrity Pairs:

Cheesy Taco Soup

I spotted this recipe on Carlsbad Cravings (because that is my very favorite place to look for recipes!) and I could not wait to make it! My family had this yummy taco soup for dinner on Saturday and we loved it! The recipe that I am going to share makes about 6 servings, so I doubled this recipe and stuck half of it in the freezer to defrost and use as a meal in the future! :) You can find the original recipe HERE.

Pumpkin Spice Cookies with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

 

These cookies are fall perfection - they're spicy & pumpkin-y in all the right ways! I am so excited to share the recipe with you today & I hope you have the chance to make these before fall comes to an end! (pssst there are 60 days until Christmas!!!!) The original recipe is from Two Sister's Crafting and you can find it HERE. 

Music for Monday: Sara Bareilles

Happy Monday! I have another artist to share with you today... Sara Bareilles! I adore Sara Bareilles music, I recommend listening to any & all of her stuff but here are my personal favorites:

Friday Favorites: A Bit of Everything!

I am so glad that the weekend is here! My only class today got cancelled so I have the day off to catch up on homework & sleep!! But first, here are a few of my favorite things! :)

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have blogged about how I make these Oatmeal cookies before but sometimes I like to add a little chocolate to the recipe and here is how I do it:

Crêpes

My family had these crêpes for breakfast on Saturday morning and they were the best! We typically serve them with some strawberries, bananas, nutella, whipped cream and maple syrup! The recipe is from the Fannie Farmer cook book, and one recipe makes about 12 crêpes. I usually double the recipe and cook a few crêpes with ham and cheese inside to put in lunches for the week! Here is how I do crêpes!

Pumpkin Dinner Rolls

My skepticism towards pumpkin is over! I am all in on this pumpkin spice craze! This recipe comes from Carlsbad Cravings - this is my favorite place to get recipes from!! I have tried several recipes from Jenn's collection and I love them ALL! I have shared a couple of her recipes, but there are definitely more to come because all of her stuff is delicious!! You can find the original recipe HERE.

Music for Monday: Sam Hunt

This post really did start off with just one song by Sam Hunt! It started off with this song:

House Party by Sam Hunt

Friday Favorites

                                 
Hello Friday! I am so ready for this weekend because I am TIRED! Here are my favorite things from this week:

Chocolate Tour

Today I am talking about a fun little thing my family did a couple of weekends ago - a chocolate tour of Montreal! I would like to first mention that this post is comprised mainly of selfies and I am super uncomfortable about that! I don't love selfies, I find taking selfies awkward but I didn't know how else to document this experience. So, lots of selfies today but I promise you that these selfie posts won't be common!

The tour started off at Divine Chocolatier where I first tried a milk chocolate with crunchy rice. This was by far my favorite place on the tour because we got to meet the lady who makes all of the chocolate and she told us about different celebrities who have bought chocolate from the store (like Johnny Depp!!) We got to hear about how the chocolate is made and then we got to choose a kind of chocolate that we wanted to try!! I chose a Bavarian Milk Chocolate with Hazelnut Crunch and it was pure bliss!

Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

I have always been apprehensive about pumpkin flavored food - I mean why would we add a vegetable to something that is supposed to be sweet!? I have only ever had pumpkin pie once in my life and I have never ever tried a Pumpkin Spice Latte! However, after trying these cupcakes I might just be brave enough to try some other pumpkin treats because these cupcakes were DELICIOUS!! These were served at the birthday party I went to this weekend and they were perfection! I got so many compliments on these tasty cupcakes. I highly, highly recommend whipping these up for fall because you will not be disappointed!

**I got this recipe from Nina Hendrick's blog & you can find the original recipe HERE.

Popcorn Party Favor

This weekend, a sweet friend of mine celebrated her birthday and I got to help out with the party! I will be sharing little bits of her party this week and I'm starting with the party favors.

Music for Mondays: Shelter

Happy Monday! I would first like to wish a very Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians! I hope your day is full of good food and gratitude! I am so grateful to be able to document little bits of me on this blog & a big thank you to all of you for reading! I am excited to share this song with you! It has been on repeat in my house for the last week - I just can't get enough!

Friday Favorites: Fall Edition

Fall is in full swing and I am just basking in it! Here are my favorite fall things:

 

Bahama Mama by Essie

 

Chinchilly by Essie

1. I love these Essie colors - I usually wear them each a couple of times throughout the fall! Chinchilly was the very first Essie nail polish I ever owned and now I only wear Essie! I love that Essie lasts a full week with minimal chipping!

Top 5: TV Shows

When I was thinking of shows for this post, I realized that I only really watch five TV shows! I occasionally watch some New Girl or Fresh prince of Bel Air, but here are the TV shows that I love:

ONE

Full House! I was going to share my favorite character, but I really don't have one! It usually bounces around between Uncle Jesse, Michelle, Stephanie, DJ or Kimmy Gibbler! I love everything about this show!

Apple Pie

My family went apple picking a couple of weekends ago and I have since been a pie making machine! I made 4 pies this weekend!! Here is how I do apple pie:

Samoa Girl Scout Cookies

A couple weeks ago, I shared a recipe for Samoa Bundt Cake, and I was inspired to continue with the theme and make Samoa cookies! I have never tried one of the boxed girl scout Samoa cookies, so I don't know if these compare but they were pretty delicious! I got this recipe from Just a Taste, and you can find the original recipe HERE. I halved the original recipe because I did not want 4 dozen Samoa cookies, so here is my halved version of the recipe:

Music for Monday: India Arie

Happy Monday! So this Music for Mondays has kind of turned into Artists for Mondays because I've started sharing multiple songs by one artist. Last week, I shared several Kris Allen songs and this week, I'm sharing a couple India Arie Songs. I might eventually get back to sharing one song, but chances are if I like one song by a particular artist, I like many and I often have a hard time picking just one! Here are my favorite India Arie tunes:
