Man I was so not a happy camper when my alarm went off this morning, but it’s Monday whether I like it or not, so I better just roll with it right?! We had a party every night this weekend, so I guess my body is a bit exhausted from all the foods and excitement! I’m really looking forward to a relaxing day of work. NOT.
Weekends Best Breakfast
Whole wheat toast with PB + Amanda’s homemade applesauce
Warm melty peanut butter along with some warm cinnamon applesauce? Yep, I’m addicted. I literally ate 2 big mugs of this applesauce warmed up each morning. Who needs oats to warm your belly when you have applesauce?!
Weekends Best Finds
Both only 99cents
I bought 3 of the peanut butters and 2 jugs of the coconut water. And I already finished one of the peanut butters. But I did use it to bake too, so don’t judge me.
Weekends Best Moment in the Kitchen
I was in the kitchen for 3 hours just finishing up these cookies. The dough alone takes like 10 minutes to make, but then you have to chill the dough, roll, cut out and bake,
and that process is repeated a million times it feels like! Then of course I decorated them, which took an hour itself. But according to everyone who inhaled them, they were totally worth it.
Weekends Best Recipe
Cinnamon Sugar Almonds
This recipe is so simple and delicious, you’ll never buy sugared nuts again
Ingredients:
- 1 Cup white sugar
- 3 Cups roasted unsalted almonds
- 1 T cinnamon
- 1/4 Cup water
- pinch salt
Combine everything in a large pan. Heat on medium heat until sugar crystallizes. Let cool on parchment paper and enjoy!
I packaged these little babies up and threw them into some gift baskets I’m making for my co-workers this year. I also may or may not have sampled a few handfuls.

What was your weekends best?
Have you had any holiday parties yet?
I can’t wait to make homemade apple sauce when I get home, the chunkier the better in my books
I loveeeeee oven-baked almonds and walnuts
I think I’m gonna make these to bring home for Christmas (along with the 50,000 other recipes I’m bookmarking haha)
Yum! My weekend’s best was this butternut squash penne bake I made and the leftovers last night. So good!! I had three holiday parties so far and this week I have four more plus actually Christmas Eve, Christmas and our annual friends exchange on Christmas night!
I definitely wasn’t a happy camper this morning either -.- I didn’t end up getting home until 2 AM last night and holy.wow am I feeling the tolls of travelling this morning. Airports, suitcases, and taxis? Bah! I’ve definitely had my fill for a while. And coming home to a lack of homemade applesauce? Sad face!
Ah looks like a great weekend indeed! Love your breakfast- sometimes the simplest ones are the most delicious! The best meal of my weekend: truffle sliders followed by red velvet cake!
Your cookies turned out adorable. I bet they taste amazing too huh?? =)
Yummmm to all of this. Those almonds and those cookies! What a fun weekend!
I made candied almonds this weekend too! They are such the best coworker gift–guaranteed tasty and cheap to make
I need to try that Nut-trition PB, I keep seeing it everywhere, and it sounds delicious!
