SUPER GOOD, recipe!

Belgian Waffles

1 1/2 cups plain flour

1/2 cup cornstarch

2 tbsp cornmeal

1 tsp baking powder

3/4 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

3 large eggs

3 tbsp granulated sugar

1 3/4 cups buttermilk

1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup (or 1 stick) unsalted butter,melted.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour,cornstarch,cornmeal,baking powder,baking soda, and salt. Set aside mixture. Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks from. Add sugar to the egg whites and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Set aside. Whisk together the egg yolks,buttermilk,and vanilla. Use a rubber spatula to stiff the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture, and mix until the dry ingredients are moistened( there will be small lumps, which are fine: do not over-mix). Stir in the melted butter. Fold the egg whites into the mixture until combined. Bake according to your rotary Belgian waffle maker directions.

Hats,hats and........ more hats. I went to buy one more at Target. And walked out with all these. They lowered the price again. $3.24. I tried really hard to only buy one more but,as you can see, couldn't resist.








I also walked out with this. Very happy about this purchase. I have been looking for the LONGEST time for this style of comforter. The ones I like are usually over $100, which is more than I wanted to spend. I was super excited when I found this 8 piece king comforter set for $60 at Target, normally $80. I Love you Target! The black part is a velvety material, so yummy.







I like them. Their music makes me smile.






This week we are going on a Bavarian/snowboarding getaway to Leavenworth, Wa.

Supposedly, they keep all their holiday lights up until Valentines day!!!

Adios!

Love Her. Love the Dress.

Isn't this dress amazing? Definitely my fav of the night. How fun would that be to wear beautiful gowns? I want one. But where would I wear one if I had one? Grocery store? Mall? To the gym? Work? Cleaning house? Maybe crash a high school prom? Sorry beautiful, out of control-expensive gown that I will never be able to wear, you don't fit into my lifestyle. boo hoo.

What to blog about?????

I got nothing. Not a whole lot is going on to blog about. But, I do LOVE reading blogs where people share what some of their favorite things are. I figured I'd give it a shot. Hopefully I don't bore you (as in you three people that still read my blog) too much.

Cam is modeling my burts bees eye cover thingy magig ( what are they called??). I love them. I can sleep a LONG time with those on. But make no mistake Cam is my # 1 fav, not the eye cover thingy magig "wink wink". (Cam read this and wanted to make sure I had him as my #1 fav.)

Merry Christmas!!!

First of all.... Tricia, I WON!!! I posted before you. mwahahahaha!

I can't believe Christmas is already over. This month flew by! We were so excited to have Cams family here. And it was nice not having to travel anywhere!!! Here are some pictures from our fun-filled Christmas!




Christmas Morning

Cam bought us the New Moon trivia game. Cam is always making fun of the movies. Ironically, he knew more answers than his mom and I. I think he secretly likes the movies.

Sporting my goggles I got for when I'm using my scroll saw.

Happy Birthday to me!!! And I'm not going to lie, I did kiss the cake a few times or maybe even a lot of times! Just kidding, I actually think Robert Pattinson is pretty gross.

I got a scroll saw, I was super excited!!! More crafts here I come!





I hope you all have a happy New Year!!!

Oh, and speaking of New Years Eve... We are going to a theme party "Play on Words". Any good dress-up ideas????

Crafty

Cam's parents came to visit and while they were here his mom helped me make these cute fall letters. I just love how they turned out. They were pretty easy to make too. Well, that is, if your mother-in-law cuts out the letters for you. I want a scroll saw so I can make more cute stuff. I was thinking about doing SNOW and have the O be a snowman. But I'm not sure how I would make the snowman look cute. Any ideas??



We got together with Cam's aunts and also made these watch bracelets. We had so much fun. Too bad beads are so expensive because I want to make one for every outfit. You jewelry makers out there...were do you buy your beads? Where are they the cheapest?



That's all fokes!

Halloween

Happy late Halloween post!




(Sorry most of these pictures were taken with my camera phone.)

We drove by this house and I had to take a pic of all those Jack-O'-Lanterns lit up.

Cam trying to look like the pumpkin he just carved.

Decorating yummy cookies.

On Halloween night there was a house in Boise that was doing a big "Thriller" production. It was awesome. They had professional make-up on and I'm pretty sure they were professional dancers too. (Once again, pictures were taken with my phone. Sorry )

We went to Cam's uncles big Halloween party. We decided to dress up as his aunt and uncle from the 80's. We thought it was pretty funny considering we are always making fun of them and their 80's music that they still listen too. We found this sweet wig that looks like his uncles hair. Then Cam made the B-52's shirt with a picture on the back of his uncle in high school. He carried around a walk-man with head phones playing WHAM all night. It was hilarious! It's hard to tell in the picture but my hair was huge. Huge bangs and a sweet side ponytail. I also had awesome leg warmers with bright pink heals. We had so much fun, I love dressing up.

Here's Cam doing his thang. We were playing a game where we tied a balloon to each of our legs and had to try to pop each others balloons. But, instead of really playing the game, Cam just put his head phones on and started dancing around the room with his 80's glowsticks. I was dying,it was so funny. I wish I had video of it.

THE END.
