Raspberry Lemon Cheesecake

This Raspberry Lemon Cheesecake is one of the most refreshing and decadent cheesecakes I’ve ever had. I am a huge cheesecake lover, but this one tops the charts! The lemon flavored cheesecake is topped with fresh raspberries and drizzled with a lemon raspberry glaze that’s just to die for. The freshness of the lemon flavoring and the raspberries almost makes it taste (do I dare say?) healthy! It’s definitely not healthy, but the raspberries on top makes me feel a little bit better! 🙂

It’s absolutely perfect for a sweet addition to a springtime brunch or after dinner dessert. And if you are hosting a Valentine’s day brunch or making a romantic meal at home, this is the perfect festive dessert to serve to your honey! I can guarantee you that this will be making an appearance at our Valentine’s Day festivities this year! Plus it is pretty simple to make and just looks absolutely GORGEOUS and so professional that people will be “oohing and ahhing” all day long!

Cranberry Pomegranate Mimosa

This Cranberry Pomegranate Mimosa is literally the easiest and most festive cocktail out there! It’s absolutely perfect for the Christmas holidays but even better as a Valentine’s Day spritzer!

This two ingredient beverage will definitely be making an appearance at our Valentine’s Day brunch this weekend! With so many different dishes to be made and coordinated, this little gem is a life saver! Just fill each champagne glass halfway with Cascade Ice Cranberry Pomegranate Sparkling Water, top with champagne, and Voila! A beautiful and bright Cranberry Pomegranate Mimosa!

Cheers!

Breakfast January 15, 2019

Banana Chocolate Chip Energy Bites

Look out, y’all! These no-bake, Banana Chocolate Chip Energy Bites are about to change your world! And I’d bet, your husband’s and children’s as well!

With the start of January and resolution season plus many large family weddings and events coming up, Landon and I have been trying to eat a little healthier. So for us, that really means snacking wiser and these Energy Bites have made ALL the difference!

Instead of reaching for some tortilla chips or whatever easy grab and go snack is around, we have these pre-made in our refrigerator for an easily accessible snack! Not only are they healthy and give you that extra boost of energy, but they have just the right amount of sweetness to kick that sweet tooth out of town!

Christmas Tablescapes January 5, 2019

Rustic-Glam Winter Tablescape

Christmas may be over, but winter is still in full force! So before Spring-ing up the home or bringing in splashes of pink and red for Valentine’s Day, I’m enjoying every minute of our winter-y rustic-glam tablescape for the next few weeks! I’m thinking pinecone everything, sleds, and cozy white fur! Still wintery but doesn’t scream Christmas!

I always have an internal battle of whether I want a rustic or glam look during the winter, but this year I thought – why choose?! We can marry these two looks by adding some traditional deeper hues of browns in our pinecone decor, chargers, and adorable little sleds to my favorite gold patterned place settings. The combination creates a perfect blend that ties the whole look together perfectly.

My vision was inspired by these pinecone planters from Ballard Designs. They are supposed to go in little pots on your front door, but who says they can’t double as a table centerpiece? And when paired with this gorgeous faux-fur white table runner…😍Now we’re talkin!

I’ve been eyeing these gold patterned plates, white velvet napkins and agate napkin rings for months now and finally decided to splurge! They bring in the glam touch I wanted for this tablescape, but can be used for all formalities and themes for years to come! I mean come on….I could literally wrap myself in these napkins, they are so lush and gorg!

To tie the whole winter vibe together, I found these adorable little sled ornaments (currently on sale for $3 at Ballard), cut off the ornament string and decided to use them as placecard holders in front of each placesetting!

I could not be more thrilled with how this whole look came together and perfectly brought my rustic glam visions to life! How do you all decorate between Christmas and Valentine’s Day?!
