CHRISTMAS HOT CAKE RECIPE & SUNDAY FUNDAY!!!!

By
Hi guys!!!!  Hope everyone had a great weekend.  Mine sure went by toooo fast.  I am sad that it's monday today.  :/
BUT I have a fun post for today!  I will be sharing my "Japanese style hot cake" (pancake) recipe that I made a little festive and also sharing what Tyler and I did yesterday!

First, I want to start with the recipe!  So let's get into what ingredients you will need....

~2 large eggs
~3/4 cup + 1 1/2 tbsp almond milk
~1 tsp vanilla extract
~1 2/3 cup flour
~1 3/4 tsp baking powder 
~3 tbsp + 1 tsp sugar
~Canola spray (if you need)
~red food coloring
~green food coloring


These for the toppings.  (: 

First you will want to combine your wet ingredients in a bowl and your dry ingredients in a separate bowl.  Then combine the two with a wooden spoon and let the batter sit for around 15 minutes to thicken.





After the batter has thickened, you will want to separate the batter in half and then add your food coloring!


Then the only thing to do is to heat a skillet, pan or griddle and cook!


These don't take too long to cook so make sure you keep your eyes on them!


Then all that's left is to put butter on and dust with powdered sugar and brown sugar.

Kitty wants some too!



Of course I was playing my favorite Christmas playlist from Pandora while eating.

Please let me know if you try this recipe.  Keep in mind that they are "hot cakes".  A little bit different than actual pancakes.  A lot more dense and rich, but delicious!!!!


Like I have said before, I always look forward to Sunday's.  It's my only free day and I get to spend the whole day with Ty.  So today we went to some thrift stores!  If you are ever in the SF area, you have to check out the store "STUFF" in the Mission district.  We then went to one of my favorite bakeries called "Tartine" which is also a spot that you have to go to for literally the BEST croissants ever.  We then returned home and I made us some late lunch and we watched a Christmas film!!










This is for you mom. (:










UGH I literally wanted everything in this store!  I wish.

(excuse my wrist wrap)  My favorite food everrrrrrrr.  It was also storming outside and it was amazing.

I made a creamy polenta with pan fried potatoes and brussel sprouts with avocado, arugula and salt on top with a hint of sriracha.  YUM!


I love to end the day snuggling on the couch with the tree lights on and a Christmas film.


Ps. This was our dinner the other night. My gosh it was good. 



What was your favorite part of the weekend?!  Let me know in the comments.

Hi everyone!!!  Sorry this post is a little late....but I have literally had zero time to do anything!!!  BUT good news is that I should be done with school in the next couple weeks!  OMG.  I literally cannot believe it.  I have learned so much the past six months and have grown into a stronger and more confident person when it comes to skin care.  I will be sad to leave my new friends but know that we will stay close no matter what (: ANYWAY...lol lets get into the photos! These were all from Christmas Day.  It was literally perfect.  It was just us and we made cinnamon rolls from scratch and went for a ride and then made an incredible dinner!  Oh and cuddled the cats of course.  Very pleased with everything that I got for Christmas too! Ty and I drove down to OC to visit with family and friends for New Years.  Our first stop was at the Too Faced Cosmetics headquarters ...

Hii everyone!  I hope you're having a great great start to the week.  We are still just packing away up here in SF.  Getting ready to move next weekend!  I cannot believe how quickly it has come.  We are trying to fit in all the things that we want to do here before we move. In today's post, I am sharing with you Tyler and I's 9 year anniversary celebration!  It was the most perfect day.  Beautiful weather and it was just so lovely to spend time together. I got us some sweet treats from Susie Cakes a little early because they were too good to pass up.  LOL On our actual anniversary, we wanted to try 'Mr. Holmes Bakehouse' because we have heard so much about it.  And there were toooo many choices. Clearly we went ham and got almost like one of each.  HAHA Too bad we ate them ALL! We came across this view when driving around the city!  How beautiful. We decided to find a secluded bench ...

10 THINGS TO DO DURING THE FESTIVE SEASON...

By
I am excited to be writing this post because I l o v e doing fun festive things this time of year and now that it is December...it's going to fly by.  And I would hate for it to be all over and I have not done anything fun! Here are a few things you can do with your kids, lovers or friends this Holiday season that will for sure bring you some cheer! 1. Watch Christmas films!  I mean DUH!  There are tons of great movies out there to watch.  MY favorites are definitely the old 'claymation' classics like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer & Santa Claus is Coming to Town.  But there are others like ELF & Christmas with the Kranks that are hilarious.  Another great place to watch films like these is on ABC family.  They have a schedule for when they show certain films. (: 2. Look at Christmas lights.  This has a l w a y s been one of my favorite things to do during the holiday season ever since I was a little girl.  You can hop in the car...

Hi everyone!!!!!  ONLY 4 MORE DAYSSSSS OMG!!! As you can see, I am not excited for Christmas at all. (: This post is one of my all time favorite sugar cookie recipes and they are literally so delicious.  I am eating one while I type.  LOL I love that when they bake, they don't spread and the icing is so simple yet so yummy. Let's get started! You will need: ~1 cup of butter softened ~1 cup of white sugar ~1 teaspoon vanilla extract ~1/4 teaspoon almond extract ~1 egg ~2 teaspoons baking powder ~3 cups of flour + more for when you roll out the dough ~powdered sugar ~milk (This recipe yields approximately 30 cookies-that's how many I made-but feel free to double if need be!) Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line two-three baking sheets with parchment paper. In a bowl or in your mixer, mix your sugar and butter together. Then add in your egg and extracts. In a separate bowl, sift your flour and baki...
