Sunday Confessions ~ v5

It's Sunday and confession time...linking up with Alyx over at Every Day is a New Adventure!


Confession #1
Gossip Girl is my new guilty pleasure. I started watching it on Netflix from season 1 and I am all caught up and ready for October 8th to be here already.

Confession #2
Fall time makes we want to bake. My all time favorite Fall recipe is Pumpkin Muffins...here is the recipe, you should totally try them!

Confession #3
I have about 15lbs more to lose to be back to my pre-pregancy weight and 25lb to be at my all time goal weight. I am still losing weight but I am sure it will stop soon and the dieting will commence.

Confession #4
I need my hair colored...like last month. I have about 5 or 6 inches of roots and those hair we don't speak of, you know the gray ones, are in full effect.

Confession #5
We only have one 4 legged family member now. After a month and half of being home with Lucas, we realized that Jaxon needed way more attention then we could give him now. We placed him in a VERY loving home with a family that has 5 acres and a pond. We have spoken to them since he left and he is doing amazing. They are spoiling him rotten and said he is a complete joy!

Happy Sunday my fellow blogger and followers...Hope you have a fabulous week!

Cookie Dough for Preggies!

I don't normally do recipe post but I love to eat cookie dough and have not had it since getting pregnant so I had to share this recipe for you other pregnant mama's out there! Raw cookie dough is not good for you when pregnant (is it good for anytime, really?!) because of the raw eggs so I was on the hunt for a recipe that was eggless, and super simple to make. Someone in my September 2012 mom's group posted a link with this recipe and I was so excited to make it.

Here you go!


Eggless Cookie Dough
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 tsp. vanilla
1/4 cup milk
1 cup flour
Pinch salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips

In a medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar and butter until smooth. Stir in vanilla and milk. Mix in the flour, salt, and chocolate chips until well blended. Chill in the refrigerator for about an hour and enjoy!

If you like frozen cookie dough, you can shape the dough into balls and freeze on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper. After a few hours, remove the dough and store it in the freezer in a ziploc bag.

Let me know if you have tried this one or have another recipe you like!
