This is on our front door for the month of March. Previously, for the month of February, there were hearts. Every month I put decor on my front door associated with the holiday or celebration for that month.
Am I the only one that does this?

Merry Christmas!
These last few weeks have been spent hustling and bustling throughout the holiday season. However, I managed to squeeze in some baking with a recipe that I got from Pinterest! I love My Pinterest! This time I made Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins and discovered the MASSIVE difference in baking when using a Kitchen-Aid mixer!
A few weeks ago I took the mixer out from storage to make Sweet Hawaiian Bread, but that didn’t work out because I did something wrong with the yeast. Hmm… maybe that’s why it was in storage in the first place.
Thankfully, I left the mixer on the counter and this baking escapade led me to making these Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins using the mixer and the difference was truly AMAZING. I could not believe the consistency the mixer mixed the batter compared to me doing it by hand. Now, I am so excited to try something else!
This recipe came from Princess Pinky Girl and it was delicious and a hit with my Christmas guests! Thank you for your scrumptious recipe because it is now a staple in my book!
Hoping everyone had a fabulous Christmas!

The other day while at the supermarket I treated myself to a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice coffee. So YUMMY! However, doling out five bucks for a coffee every morning is simply NOT in my budget. So when I saw this I jumped on it –
GROSS!!
Not at all a comparison to Starbucks pumpkin spice. A huge disappointment because I found myself daydreaming about that pumpkin spice coffee, but there was no way I was going to fork out another FIVE bucks for a cup of coffee. Not to mention that each cup holds 13 grams of fat – YEP – 13 GRAMS.
Enter the good ole’ Internet and into the search engine I typed – “How do I make Starbucks pumpkin spice coffee” and there it was – all sorts of recipes telling me how to quench this new screaming addiction. So… through a few trials of a little of this and a little of that, I found the following compromise –
Mix everything but the coffee, in a separate cup and heat up in the microwave for a minute and a half – combine hot coffee and hot cream mixture and Enjoy!
You’re gonna love it!
