Rain Rain Go Away! Fashion Friday!

The weather can’t rain on my parade! It has been raining all week and I couldn’t be happier. It has given me a chance to wear my cute rain books that I got brand new from goodwill for $5. Along with my white coat from a garage sale for $2. I love a good deal and great fashion!

Apples and Dip! TTT # 12

 

Hello and welcome to my 12

Totally Tasty Tuesday!

A few weeks ago I showed you our peach tree.  Well it is finally that time of year for us to pick our apples. Each year our apple tree gets bigger and bigger with more and more apples on it.  This yeah we pick a lot of apples, which mean we have a lot of different apple recipes.

One of my families personal favorite recipes is our apple dip. We make it at least once a week, if not for company than for ourselves. It is super easy and delicious. The best part about it is you can change it up how ever you would like or whatever you have in your home.

Here is the recipe:

1 8 oz package Cream Cheese (softened)
1/4 cup Crunchy Peanut Butter
3 Tablespoons Maple Syrup (or to your likings)
1 teaspoon Vanilla

Blend together with a fork or a hand mixer for a smoother consistency. Serve with apple slices and enjoy!

Here is our apple tree! isn’t it getting so big?

043
And the apples are just delicious! Yummy!

045
Apples are one of the best fall snacks. They are like Gods natural candy!

044 

The benefits to growing your own apples/fruits and vegetables are endless. Just to name a few, there are no pesticides or harsh chemicals on them. The amount of food grown will save you a lot of money and you will challenge your mind to be more creative with what food you do have! You will never regret growing a garden, it is amazing and so much fun!

What is your favorite fall snack?

Chocolate Cinch Frape TTT # 11

 

Happy Tuesday!!
A lot of people might not agree with me about the beauty of Tuesday although it is a great day for many reasons:

1) It is not Monday!
2) It can only go up from here!
3) You know that after tomorrow the week is half over!
4) You still have some left over energy from the past weekend!
And last but certainly not least.
5) Each day you wake up is a gift from God and we should appreciate each day as if it were the last!

So on this beautiful Tuesday morning there is not a better breakfast than a home made Chocolate Chinch Frape. Filled with a rich chocolate / coffee taste and 24 grams of protein you can’t find a better or faster breakfast!

All you need is:

6 Frozen Coffee Cubes
1 Cup Milk
1 t Coco
2 Scoops of Cafe Latte Cinch Protein
1/2 t Vanilla
3 Scoops of Stevia

Blend everything together in a blender for at least 1 minutes to make sure it is fully blended!

019

Every week we take our left over coffee and freeze it in ice cube trays. It taste great blended with Cafe Latte Cinch!

028

I have tried so many different kinds of stevia and this one is my favorite!

031

I got this reusable Starbucks cup from Brandon and I love it. I use it every day for everything!

032

Now you can sit back and enjoy! Although if you are anything like me you don’t have time to sit so you can grab it and take it with you wherever life may bring you today!

Thank you from
coming to my 11th

A Baby Diaper Cake!

 

I hope everyone had a great weekend.

I know that I did, I went to my cousins baby shower! I decided to make a baby diaper cake just like the one I made for my mom a few months ago. Although this one was for a baby boy so I changed up the colors a bit. 108 

This is a very fun alternative to just giving someone a bag of diapers and it is surprisingly easy too. Chick here to see how I made it!

I also have her Organic Gentle Wash and Organic Diaper Rash Cream. These are my favorite baby products.

What do you like to give for a baby shower?

Totally Tasty Tuesday # 10 Peaches

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

My thoughts and prayers went out to all of the people who lost their lives on 9/11 and for all of their family and friends. May God bless each and everyone of them.

This past weekend was amazingly beautiful.  Our peaches on our peach tree were perfectly ripe and ready to eat. We planted our peach tree about 4 1/2 years ago and it was a tiny twig.  We bought it on sale for about $10. look at it now!

046 

We haven’t had time to make anything yet because we just got the peaches but don’t worry I will! :)  For now I would like to talk to show you what a $10 tree can get you.

If you think about the Cost and Worth of the peaches it is just pennies per peach. The best part about it is that they come back every year!

What do you grow in your garden?

What is your favorite peach recipe?

Our One Year!

I hope everyone is having a great week and is ready for the weekend, I know that I am! 

This week Brandon and I celebrated our one year anniversary in sweet home Chicago! This week last year Brandon asked me to be his girl friend right next to the bean in Millennium Park. So we decided to go back to Chicago for our anniversary.

157

Can you believe that we have been dating for a whole year? It almost doesn’t seem real after everything that has happened. I can honestly say that he is the best thing that has ever happened to me!  

As you can see here, we could not ask for a better day.  The sky was blue all day long with just as much wind as you would expect from “The Windy City”. We started off our day at the Willis Tower. It was amazing I just loved it!willis tower

Next we went out to eat at Margaritavlle in Navy Pier. It was amazing, we got their signature drink “Big Rita” and got to keep the glass as well. Yumm…so good!

Margaritaville

When I said windy, I meant windy! But it was worth every minute just to be with someone who loves me like he does. Navy Pier

We spent the rest of the time at Millennium Park! Isn’t it all so beautiful?Millennium Park

Oh and you can’t forget about the Garrett’s Popcorn! We picked some of that up right before we headed back!Garretts Popcorn

 

I can not ever describe how happy I am right now!

What kind of moments of memories make you feel so happy?

What did you do for your anniversary?
