Tunes Tuesday!

Mumford and Sons is my new obsession right now! I have been on and off listening to them for a few months now but this past month I have had a crazy obsession with them. I will listen to their album on repeat for hours on end!  Dust Bowl Dance is probably the best song I have heard in a long time. I love the lyrics to their songs and the music! The music just makes me want to get up and dance and shout the words at the top of your lungs!

Here are some videos for you to see for yourself how amazing they really are J

Yummy Yummy I Got Love in my Tummy!

Yesterday I felt like baking so off to Pinterest I went and found a recipe for s’more cookies that I decided to make. I know I made s’more cookies before but these ones were different and I decided to make them without the graham cracker bottom because no one in the house seem to want them when I mentioned them until I said I would make them without the graham cracker bottom! So really I made marshmallow and chocolate chip cookies! But I’m sure they amazing with the graham cracker bottom.

These cookies are delightfully easy and super yummy! They light and chewy and just perfect with a cold glass of milk or hot cup of tea!  These cookies don’t even take long! Honestly start to finish I think it was like 45 minutes and that is with baking times! Super easy to whip up whenever you may need some yummy after school snack or quick dessert when family decides to show up J

Okay so there is no movie review this week because I didn’t have time to watch a movie this week/weekend so I’m just leaving it to next weekend when hopefully I will have watched something! Actually I think I might be getting forced into seeing the Hunger Games on Friday so we will just have to wait and see. Anyways today I’m going to be blogging about the pasta I made on Friday evening! Let me tell you it was touch and go there for a while because I honestly thought I ruined it even though it says in the directions that it will look like you ruined it! She really isn’t joking about that!! But it was a creamy mushroom and shrimp pasta and I added scallops to it! I think we all almost killed ourselves eating it! Ashdenne was over for dinner too and loved it!

This sauce could easily be used with chicken if you don’t care for seafood, like my sister. I think this is one of the best sauces I have come across and that include pasta sauces from restaurants! The recipe is still pretty simple but more involved then most of the dishes I have cooked before. If you try this pasta please push through the shock and know your sauce is going to be okay!

PS This isn’t a diet meal this is a treat yourself meal! My mouth is watering thinking about it! If you’re looking for a meal to make for a dinner party or just something a little nicer this is the meal to make! Delish you won’t regret it!!

What a Blog Wednesday!

This week I have decided to feature a blog called Only Slightly Neurotic. Kayla Aimee runs this blog and I have been reading her blog for a long time now and she has one of the best blogs for sure! I mean why else would I be telling you about it if it wasn’t!?

I feel like I have gone through many ups and downs with Kayla because of her blog and her how candid she can be when she is writing. I normally went to Kayla’s blog for a laugh or to see what she was scrapbooking. I then got to read about her love story with her husband Jeff; they have a great story together. Then Kayla was pregnant which was great! We knew they were trying. She had the cutest little belly! Her readers were then asked to send prayers her way because her baby girl was born much too earlier. Scarlette was in the hospital for a very long time and had many things wrong with her. I cried when Kayla would post that Scarlette wasn’t having a good day and I would rejoice when she hit even the littlest milestones. Thanks to many Doctors, Nurses, her mommy and daddy that little girl is a much healthier 16-month. One of the cutest I would say! I adore Kayla’s blog! I really think she is great because you can relate to her; she is a normal mom who makes mistakes, knows that is okay and moves on from it. If you want to read something funny and relatable I would check out Only Slightly Neurotic!

Thanks for dropping in! xo

On Sunday night I found the next recipe I wanted to try mainly because it was only FOUR ingredients! As you have learned from reading this blog the easier the recipe is the better I like it! This recipe comes from Six in the Suburbs! The recipe I found is for Lemon Cloud Cookies! Don’t they just sound like Spring, which it was basically spring and summer here last week but we have returned to winter this week! I hate snow if you didn’t know and yes I know I live in Nova Scotia!

But back to the cookies! All you need is a box of lemon cake mix, cool whip, one egg and powdered sugar. Yup, I know easy! You combine everything expect the powered sugar and let it sit in the fridge for a few hours and up to over night because the dough is STICKY!! This is my only complaint about the recipe and you really can’t help it but lordy the dough is so sticky it makes me never want to make these cookies again even though they are delicious! Drove me crazy but in the end I guess it was worth it since the cookies are super light, chewy and delicious! I don’t overly like lemon flavor was there was just enough in these cookies for me J I’m glad I tried them! They were very tasty! Plus my family loves them J
