The Best Brunch Addition

Happy Sunday Everyone!

Hope you've got some champs ready to pop!  Now obviously brunch is the best part of weekends but I wanted to give you something to add that is simply divine. When I was growing up, my Mom would make these French Breakfast Puffs for birthdays and special occasions It was a great tradition. They are so delicious that I wanted to share the recipe with you.

French Breakfast Puffs

1 1/2 cups flour

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp nutmeg

_

1/2 cup sugar  

1/3 cup shortening

1 egg

_

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

6 tbsp melted butter

Preheat oven to 350. Grease a muffin tin, stir together flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg then set aside. In a mixer, cream together 1/2 sugar, shortening, and egg. Add flour mixture and milk alternately to the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition. Fill the muffin tins 2/3 of the way full and pop them in the oven 20-25 minutes.  

Combine 1/2 sugar and cinnamon. Once you remove the muffins from oven dip in melted butter and then into the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Sassy Slogans & Red Hot Heels

Happy Monday!

Now I know most of you are not a fan of this day however there isn't too much we can do about it so let's make it a good one...with some very strong coffee of course. 

There are a few trends that I'm totally loving right now. Graphic sweatshirts and red shoes. Before I go any further, trend or not I'm on board with both of these all the time. But, a lot of times I want to be comfortable or now a days don't have much time to change.  

I'm sure you've seen the many, many Instagram accounts with the sassy slogan sweatshirts.  I can't help but love a snappy worded shirt. My favorite Insta account is "Coffee In The Shower" (something I've been known to do as well, haha.) I've followed them forever and have a couple of their sweatshirts. This one is my newest. Who doesn't love champagne for breakfast? I feel like it's an old way of thinking that sweats are only for lounging so here is a way to elevate your slogan sweats so that you can feel free to wear it wherever your feet may take you.

Even though I've got spring fashion on the brain, we've still got a couple more months of winter and what a better way to warm up than with some red hot heels? These fab booties are of course from JustFab and I'm obsessed! It takes your casual look up a couple notches! Add leopard and champagne and you're in business!

It's Monday, we're tired. So here is to hoping that your Monday is good and your coffee (or champagne) is very very strong.

What's Old Is New

Cheers to Friday everyone! We made it!

At the end of this hard yet wonderful week, Mamma needs a drink! I have a whole new appreciation for stay at home Moms. I wouldn't give it up for the world but holy cow. Hats off to you who tend to the kids all day. When my Apple Watch says I've taken 15,000 steps I believe it because by 8pm I'm a total zombie that probably has baby puke on her. But that's totally okay with me. 

Nothing is better than celebrating Friday than with a new delicious drink recipe! One thing that MK and I love to do is sit in our bar and make different kinds of drinks. He's a total Bourban Buff so he asked me to find a drink to make with Rye Whiskey. I happily obliged since when we went on our whiskey trip last March I really liked Rye. Now that whiskey has become "trendy" again this drink is anything but old news. We made Rye Old Fashioneds and talked the night away.
