Good morning, loves!  It’s been a doozy of a week over here so I for one am stoked about the impending weekend.  We have another weekend at home where I plan on putting my feet up, doing a little baking, and probably more online shopping.  The perfect weekend if you ask me!  Here’s what I am loving this week!

  1. There is greek yogurt in these cookies so I am almost positive that makes them healthy.
  2. I am not usually one to sit around and relax on the weekends, but lately it’s a must.  This blanket should pair nicely with my tufted ottoman I am currently using to prop up my feet and my fuzzy slippers!
  3. So, maybe you all have some advice here, but I feel like my phone has literally no storage space.  Right now there are around 30 pictures on it and it is taking up half the space.  I have to clear it out weekly–who knows how often I will have to clear it out once baby arrives.   Definitely going to need a cute flash drive!  Although, we have found that that this baby is already like their father because as soon as I try to film the kicks, they suddenly cease.  Camera goes off; you know the drill.  Cute, but frustrating.
  4. This week my mantra has been breathe.  Between seriously bruised and swollen ankles and a little trouble sleeping with my growing belly, we have also been on our first maternity tour and going on our second tonight.  Let me just say, I cried four  times at the first hospital.  I think it should be a rule that they cannot take expectant mothers by the nursery.  Every single one of us was crying.  It makes it all feel so real.  But in all honesty, despite that I now have to plan my outfits around a maternity girdle and compression hose, this little nugget brings me so much joy already.  Annnnnd I am crying again.
  5. Santa, I need this face mask.  And pretty much everything else fresh makes. Thanks!
  6. You guys!  This dry shampoo works.  I know you all may not be the dry shampoo freaks that I am, but I literally never leave the house without it.  I usually opt for the powder, but this spray is heavenly I tell you!
  7. SO to make myself feel better about having to buy a maternity belt, I went ahead and splurged on this purse.  When the large Target box arrived and out spilled all the maternity stuff, even the hubby wasn’t mad about this purchase.  Mama needed a treat too!
  8. Noble Carriage seriously has the cutest stuff.  This adorable teether included.  If you have baby fever, steer clear.
  9. Why, oh why are onesies with sayings on them so stinking cute?!
  10. Again, most of my outfits are designed to hide m’ hose so boots are pretty much all I can wear–usually paired with leggings and a long shirt.  So, I am thinking about splurging on another pair for fall.  What do we think about this option?  I am tempted, but also think I need a pair with a slightly shorter heel?  Thoughts? Suggestions?

I hope you all had an amazing week and have a wonderful weekend!
Cheers!
Erin

Chocolate Rainbow Sprinkle Cookies

chocolate, cookies, Good Eats

Do you ever have those days where you just want 5 cookies a cookie? Does that happen to be every day for you? Okay good we’re on the same page.

I’m a dessert gal. I’d take a cookie over a steak any day.  When I saw this recipe on pinterest, I knew I had to make it… and I knew I had to make them rainbow.

The fact that these are so easy to make and sooo delicious makes them utterly dangerous. Do not make these! They are addicting! You’ll be eating 5 before you know it! They are chocolately, crispy, melt in your mouth, delicious. And pretty to boot! I’m thinking the sliver sparkly sprinkles hanging out in my kitchen are next. Boy, do I have a weakness for all things pretty and yummy.

THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP: taste test a warm one right off of the pan.

Tad ate about 10 in one sitting after I made these. They didn’t last long in our house and I don’t think they’ll last long in yours… good lookin’ and scrumptious cookies have a way of disappearing!

Chocolate Rainbow Sprinkle Cookies (Adapted from here)- yields ~ 48 cookies

Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 Large eggs
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/3 cup rainbow sprinkles (or any kind you prefer!)
8 oz. semisweet baking chocolate, finely chopped

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease baking sheets. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt, then set aside. Cream the sugars and butter together with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined. Add in the vanilla. Slowly add the flour mixture, until just combined. Add in the chocolate and sprinkles, mixing by hand.

Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the baking sheets, about 1 inch apart. Bake for 14-16 minutes or until brown. Cool on the baking sheet for 1-2 minutes then transfer to a wire rack. Enjoy!

*The recipe ended up making a lot of dough… it would have yielded more cookies than I should probably allow myself in a week. SO, I decided to freeze a third of the dough to bake later. Below are some pictures of how I rolled the dough and froze it… makes perfectly round cookies to be thawed and baked in no time! (Thaw in the fridge overnight before baking)

Plop about 3 or 4 large scoops of dough onto a large piece of plastic wrap.

Pull both sides of the plastic wrap together and roll the dough between the plastic wrap until it starts forming a log.

Seal the sides together and then twist the ends, making sure the dough is in the shape of a log.

Wrap the dough again in foil to seal in all of the cookie deliciousness. Freeze until you’re ready for another round of cookies!

Thaw, cut, bake!

ENJOY!

Natalie
