Five Date Night at Home Ideas

1.       Spa Night at Home – Think Face Masks, Bubble Baths, Candles, and Bubbly. Sounds like the perfect night to me.

2.       Make a Pizza from scratch. Make your own dough and all! When food is in the mix you always know it is going to be a fun date night.

3.       Build your own floral arrangement. Reach out to your local florist for a bundle of florals to create your own!

4.       Build your own ice cream Sundae’s. And I am talking all the toppings!

5. Pick a City and theme your dinner and a movie at home around the city of your choosing!

1.       I can walk to grab dinner, drinks, coffee, & pastries!

2.       My rooftop deck is seriously larger than my last apartment! The summers on the rooftop are going to be epic.

3.       Two car side by side garage! This is a rarity in the city.

4.       MY KITCHEN ISLAND. I seriously could not love my kitchen any more.

5.       The location is perfect. So close to the highway, so it makes it convenient to visit family out of state.

6.       Street Parking has never been an issue! So when friends come over there is always a place for them to park!

7.       Everyone in our neighborhood has dogs! 

8.       I am in walking distance to Target! Super quick when I need to pick up something for the house.

9.       4 bedrooms give us enough to both have an office and have a spare bedroom!

10. It truly feels like HOME!

Sharing 5 of my favorite Healthy snacks for during the week!

1. Carrot Chips with Hummus! One of my go to snacks. I love trying new hummus flavors!
2. Egg whites! Tony and I hard boil 2 dozen eggs to start the week and I love to cut them open, take out the yoke, then top the white with mustard and salt!
3. Cucumbers with a greek ranch dip. Low calorie dips are definitely the key. If you are watching your weight try to stay away from regular dressings because they are full of fat and there are plenty of healthier options.
4. Low fat cheese sticks. Typically about 50 calories, and full of protein.
5. Deli meat. I love getting a pound of Turkey or Buffalo chicken. Great protein source.

Holiday Cookie Season is one of my favorite times of year. When Tony and I toured our Evergreene Home for the first time the first thing I said when we walked into the kitchen was WOW I can’t wait to bake Christmas Cookies on that counter.

I wanted to share with you one of my favorite cookies for the Holiday Season, that of course include sprinkles! Hope you Enjoy!

Christmas Sprinkle Cookies

• 10 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 2–1/2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 large egg
• 2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 cup Christmas sprinkles

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare baking pans.
2. In a large mixing bowl or a stand mixer, cream the butter, sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed. Add the vanilla and egg, beating on low until all mixed together. Add the flour, baking soda, salt, and cream of tartar, and beat on low speed. Last add the sprinkles. Beat just until combined.
3. Use a cookie scoop to place on baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Allow to cool and enjoy!

Happy Turkey Day Friends and Family!

This was the first thanksgiving in over 10 years that I was able to spend with family. I am so thankful for the opportunity to be able to do so.

But with that being said I am so thankful for my mom. The last 8 Thanksgivings that I worked retail my mom ALWAYS with out fail hosted an early Thanksgiving. Even though she did that I still always felt like I was missing out on the holiday until this year. After truly spending Thanksgiving day with family I realized that it doesn’t matter what day it is. Thanksgiving day or not, it’s all about spending it with Family, and that’s all that really matters.

Thank you to my mom for always making Thanksgiving special for me.

xoxo, Kate
