Ahh! Can't believe I forgot to post yesterday! So sorrryyyy 💔 !! Today was so warm out! I loved it! Nice little break from the chilly weather but I would like to keep the chill as long as possible. We're supposed to get more rain this week so I'm happy about that. As you can see the grass is all dead from the drought ahah . Can't wait for that to grow back. Had a few meetings today and am now baking some chocolate lava cakes for my fam. Multitasking at its best! Haha grabbing something to eat and heading to bible study. Can't believe it's Thursday already . That went quick ! One more sleep till the weekend ! Can you make it? Do you have any fun plans ? Let me know..

Crisp Skies

Hi everyone! Today was a day for errands :) It was so beautiful out today I just was so happy! Every 20 minutes or so it would start raining, but it was so nice because it was sunny out and kinda windy so it was totally tropical! Yay! El Niño is really on its way now! Finally! I went to dinner with my mom and sister, then after we went to the bookstore! I love going to the bookstore because it smells so nice with all the new pages. I got a few new cook books I can't wait to show you and I got this leather bound journal that I will write all my personal recipes in. That will toatlly help me keep track of them all ! Ahah  !! Well, I'm going to try out a new bible study tonight so I'm gonna run ! Talk later

Shortbread

Hello ! Well, heres another Monday! Work work work! aha, over the weekend I made these delicious flaky shortbread cookies. I love to eat them with different kinds of jam! Even though I eat really healthy sometimes you just have to enjoy some sweet little treats every now and then. I have so many orders for the restaurant this weekend, so I have to get back in the kitchen. Maybe, tomorrow I'll have a little workout video or some pics to help you start getting your winter bod in shape ;) Talk to you later!
