I have been on a health-kick lately, but a girl still has to enjoy her sweets! So I decided to compromise. I would be strong and pass the donuts at the market (they smelled SO good!) and go home to make these “lighter” baked donuts.
This was my first time baking donuts at home and I was surprised how well they turned out! I topped them with fresh berries, which basically makes them breakfast. Right?! Oh, a girl can dream.
Until our honeymoon I never drank tea. Can you believe it?! Marrying a man with Scottish roots I have been offered tea many times, but I never favored the warm drink. That was until I walked into David’s Tea in San Francisco’s marina! I immediately fell in love with their fun flavors (hello, cotton candy!) and walked away with a few samples.
Now our cupboards are stocked with tea and I have been collecting teacups, because hey – a girl’s got to sip her beverage is style, right?!
Now I admit, my teacup obsession may have gone overboard (cue not being able to shut the cupboard door.) So I decided to make a DIY out of my problem – hence teacup candles! These little guys would make a great gift (housewarming, bridal shower, etc) or you can just enjoy the candle in your own home, knowing once it burns out you can wash it and relax with – you guessed it! – a piping hot cup of tea.
How To:
One of the traditions I miss most about college is Bachelor(ette) Monday! Every week we would get a group of girls together to sip wine, bake cookies talk through the commercial breaks.
While reminiscing about these nights, I decided to make Bachelorette Bingo cards! They are a fun way to make a social event out of the ABC show.
You can print the cards straight onto cardstock or you can use a glue stick to paste them on craft paper (to make them studier!) Then gather up your favorite candy to use as game markers! The first person to get five symbols in a horizontal or vertical line wins! Have fun!
