How to Throw a Bridal Brunch

October 26th, 2018Tina0 Comments

My baby sister is getting married in less than 2 weeks! Cue the tears (happy tears, of course). A couple of weeks ago my sisters and I threw her bachelorette party. We started the day with a brunch at my house (I’ll get more to that in a moment). Then we went to The Hopkins Vineyard where we enjoyed a wine tasting. Afterwards we enjoyed the beautiful scenery in their cafe with a bottle of wine and cheese platter. If you’re ever in the area, we highly recommend you stop by. Then we headed back to my house for a full on …

Our Favorite Waffle Recipe

October 19th, 2018Tina0 Comments

What kind of waffle iron do you have? (Assuming you have one, of course.) When my husband and I got married, we registered for a Belgian waffle maker. I don’t remember why we chose that kind. Maybe I liked the thought of those deep waffle pockets, maybe we just didn’t have a waffle maker and that’s what they offered to register for. A few months ago my husband decided that he wanted to buy a normal waffle maker. Little did he know how long that quest was going to be. As it turns out, what people thought of as waffles 30 …

Last week I shared with you how I decorated our kitchen for Fall. Today I’m continuing the tour of our home to show you our cozy Fall family room. I’m all about being cozied up on the couch under blankets in pajamas and watching Hocus Pocus (which I’ve seen at least three times this season). And yes, for a change of technique, I’ve taken some of the pictures for this post with my phone. Sorry if they look a bit funny. 🙂 Candles are a great easy way to create a warm atmosphere. You’ll see that I placed them placed around the room, …

Vanilla Frosted Doughnuts

October 12th, 2018Tina2 Comments

Doughnuts are always a good way to start the day. Unless being healthy is your goal of course. I crave cinnamon during the Fall season, especially if they’re part of a doughnut. These Fall cool crisp mornings are the best with a cup of hot coffee and yummy fattening treat. These doughnuts are baked and not fried. Meaning that they are moist and cakey, and not heavy or greasy. They are seriously one of the best doughnuts I’ve ever made. In fact, this is the same basic recipe as the crumb doughnuts that I made last year. Adjust the glaze a …

Easy Fall Kitchen Decor

October 10th, 2018Tina2 Comments

Do you like to decorate your kitchen for a season or a holiday? In general, I don’t like a lot of things on my kitchen counters, but I will add a few seasonal touches here and there. Last month I found so many great items that I thought I’d do an overhaul and show you what my kitchen looks like for Fall. I bought the two white pumpkin pots from the Home Goods store to put one on each side of the stove. I also bought the vase, small pedestal, and faux hydrangea at the same time, which will be great …
