I’m not sure how 2020 has flown by so fast, but I’m not sure how 2020 has flown by so fast, but I’m definitely not sad about it ending.✌🏻I can’t wait for December 25th, especially since I finished all of my Christmas shopping a month ago. Now I get to just sit back and enjoy the very rare cooler temps with copious amounts of eggnog and boozy chocolates...zero flocks given. 🤪🙌🏻🎄 #winning #countdowntochristmas #xmas2020 . . . . 📸 @studio_ampersand
// When @doubletree recently shared their famous 🍪 recipe I immediately went to the pantry to see if I had all the ingredients to make them. (I did 💪🏻) If you’ve had the pleasure of eating one...or many of their hotel’s cookies then you know how amazing they are, but if you haven’t then do yourself a favor and make ‘em ASAP! The combination of oats and chocolate and walnuts is oh so satisfying. Plus there’s even a surprise ingredient that I hadn’t expected, but it makes sense that these would have something extra. Hint: 🍋😉 They’re SO good! . The recipe is now available on their website. Bake cookies and chill is the new normal, at least for me. 🤪 #bakingismytherapy
// Julie & Julia is one of my absolute favorite mo // Julie & Julia is one of my absolute favorite movies and since this whole thing started I’ve watched it multiple times...a week. #notsorryatall 😁 It always gets me into the kitchen to make something tasty and today I’m baking up the famous #doubletree cookies while binge watching Golden Girls. One of my #stayhome goals is to watch all 177 episodes of Betty, Bea, Rue, and Estelle and so far I’m about halfway through. #goalsetter 😂 Hey, whatever brings laughter and cheesecake cravings and cooking inspo into my world right now is what’s necessary around here. 🙌🏻 What are y’all doing to stay sane right now?
// Staying home this much gets really boring, but // Staying home this much gets really boring, but cookies make life a little sweeter, and the bigger they are the better IMO. 🍪 These monstrous cookies fit the bill perfectly. I mean just look at those ripples - they’re giving me life. 🤤 Coming in at a whopping 1/3 (overflowing) cup of dough EACH this is what cookie dreams are made of. . What makes these so special is the pan banging method where you lift and drop the sheet 3-4 times during baking to create those glorious ripples. Ugh I’m obsessed! Make them immediately and follow every direction. I promise you the effort is absolutely worth it. 🙌🏻 . Recipe is @sarah_kieffer’s from her Vanilla Bean Baking cookbook (and is also on her blog too). 💃🏼
// Add to that some baking and attempting our firs // Add to that some baking and attempting our first run at making a rotisserie chicken in our air fryer for homemade soup and that’s my weekend plans summed up. 💯 As an introvert I feel like I’ve been preparing for #socialdistancing my entire life. 😂 I just wish it wasn’t under such ominous circumstances, but I’m making the best of it and trying not to panic about being part of the higher risk group of the population. 🙅🏼‍♀️ Hope you’re all keeping as safe as can be and finding some fun stuff to do. 🌿 #wereallinthistogether #covid_19 #lifeinthetimeofcorona
// A year ago we went to a shelter just to look ar // A year ago we went to a shelter just to look around. I didn’t expect anything to come of that trip to the shelter, but within minutes of walking in the door I had already fallen in love with this little polydactyl boy. Turned out that we had to fight back hordes of people to secure our adoption of this gorgeous creature, but in that sea of people he chose me! As soon as I sat down in that crowded room this boy ran over to me, climbed onto my lap, and stayed there for a half hour. I mean, there’s just no denying an instant bond like that, right? The adoption was settled and a week later, on St. Patrick’s Day, we welcomed our newest lucky charm into his furever home. He immediately fit in with our life and our girl warmed up quickly too, which is amazing since her and our prior babe fought a lot. Over this past year he has not only been such a joy to live with, but he’s also become my best friend always by my side 24/7. He’s even brought our girl out of her shell with my husband who used to never be able to even get near her and now lets him rub her belly! #winning 😉 I may have become a #catlady by being in the right place at the right time four years ago when our girl came into the picture, but it definitely wasn’t by accident. The universe is intentional and I’m so here for it. Always. This life is filled with fur “enhanced” clothes + cuddles galore + never being alone, not even in the shower. 😂 #truestory Happy 1st year, Professor Dumbledore. You’re so incredibly loved. To my fellow Irish guys and gals, Happy St. Paddy’s Day 🍀 . . . . . . . . . . #stpatricksday #stpaddysday #luckoftheirish #irish #catsofinstagram #catlife #catlovers #polydactylcat #balinese #siamese #blueyes #gorgeousboy #albus #dumbledore #fureverhome #adoptacat #firstbirthday #mycats #catstagram #catsofinstagram #catsarethebest #ilovemycats #gratefulheart #thelittlethings #adoptacat #blessedbeyondmeasure #banfieldpethospital
