Mini Pumpkin Bread

Pumpkin Bread Recipe

Rita make pumpkin bread. Rita eat pumpkin bread. Pumpkin bread Good. Pumpkin bread Real Good.  LOL. I know...I sound like a cavewoman, but I just can't help it lol. I have my moments and I feel bad for subjecting you to them :). Anywho, I made these mini pumpkin bread loaves for Thanksgiving. I bought the dishes from Michaels and they make really great little holiday gifts:). Pumpkin season shall remain in effect until the end of this year (on this blog). Who knows maybe it will stay here year round. I'm very determined to tackle these GIANT SALTED PUMPKIN MOLASSES CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES. Until then, we'll have to enjoy this melt-in-your-mouth pumpkin bread recipe:). Have a great day all and thanks for reading!

Happy Wednesday Before Thanksgiving

Hi Friends! I've been MIA for quite some time now (at least that's what it feels like). I'm missing you all! Sorry for the lack of responses on my blog/comments on your blog. Thank you all so much for your support. Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving (if you celebrate it)! "May your stuffing be tasty, may your turkey plump, may your potatoes and gravy have never a lump. May your yams be delicious and your pies take the prize, and may your Thanksgiving dinner stay of your thighs:)." P.S. If you're looking for some last minute meal ideas (or a dose of laughter) check out my post here on Young Hollywood! Bye for now:))!

Homemade Madeleine Cookies

I blame Costco for my love affair with Madeleine cookies. When I first sinked my teeth into these little french cookies, I was in pure butter bliss. I must admit, I was a little intimidated to bake these at home, but the recipe was so easy to follow! I mean...like super duper easy....even if you are baking challenged! I was so pleased with the outcome. The cookies turned out perfectly spongy, buttery, airy, and light. And btw, I added chocolate chips to half the batch because everything is better with a few chocolate chips! Duh! Here is the recipe I followed. You can purchase the cookie mold here. Have a great day all and thanks for reading:)!

Faux Fur Vest

My poor boots. They're so old and beaten up. I had two incredible years with them. I don't know if they will make it through another fall/winter. So sad. I'm not ready to part ways. No, I'm not ready to lay these boots to rest. I will wear them and wear them...until they tear.....and my toes start peeking out. Maybe at that point they will be considered "vintage". Vintage sounds good. We'll just run with that idea. Anyone else experiencing separation anxiety with a favorite pair of shoes or boots? Enjoy your weekend all:)!! It's fur-eezing here in LA!!

Nutella Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

I wish there was a chocolate chip cookie drive thru. I mean, why has no one thought of this yet?! Fresh cookies and milk. I'd be a frequent customer. Heck, I'd probably park my car there and never leave. Security!!! Get this crazy lady out of here! Ah, yes, that would be me. Just a side note, if I ever go missing for a long period of time, check every local bakery and cookie aisle before filing a missing person report;). Thank you very much.

Anywho, this recipe for Nutella Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies from Ambitious Kitchen is quite the indulgent, sinful, gastronomical delight. Ooey, gooey center. Crispy, crunchy edges. Need I say more? I'm giddy, hysterical, and crying tears of joy. Have a great day all:))!! 

P.S. Sorry for the lack of pictures. Originals from Ambitious Kitchen look so much better :).

Jacquard Skirt

So this skirt is kinda deformed. Call it an alteration gone wrong. The top area looks very potato sacky and doesn't quite fit right (at all). That's why I have to wear longer shirts to cover that area. Unfortunately, I can't tuck anything in. I like to think of it as a fashion challenge that requires a little creativity:)! Hope you like this look! Have a great week all:)! P.S. I've also worn it like this.
