Apple Cider Cinnamon Sugar Doughnuts

October 10, 2019 by Laura Tucker Leave a Comment

Hello, Autumn! Nice to finally see you! We hit our first “cold” front of the season, and feeling the temps drop down just a few degrees to make the mid-afternoon heat tolerable has certainly been well welcomed! We live in the middle of a field of planted pines, so not many of the trees that surround our house ever change colors. It’s pretty much green outside all year, so I always make sure I go the extra mile to make things really feel like fall around here. Yesterday afternoon that meant breaking out the apple cider and getting a little creative in the kitchen, and these Apple Cider Cinnamon Sugar Doughnuts have been the perfect treat to help us welcome in the season!

Saturdays are truly something special in our household. They’re like a hidden gem tucked into the week that we finally get to uncover after a busy work week has ended. We crave the days that we don’t have a calendar full of events scheduled for our Saturday mornings, because we prefer to reserve that time for extra cuddles, extra sleep and extra time gathered around the breakfast table to enjoy something hot and fresh out of the oven (like this Cinnamon Sausage Pull Apart Bread, of course!)

Have you felt that crisp morning air yet? Perhaps it’s just wishful thinking on my end, but I do believe I’ve felt a hint of fall in the air in the mornings on the way to school each day. Of course, it’s quickly swallowed up by that glamorous Alabama humidity that likes to linger around until mid-October, but I’ll take any glimpse of fall weather I can get!

Cinnamon Roll Apple Cobbler

September 20, 2019 by Laura Tucker Leave a Comment

Cinnamon Roll Apple Cobbler is that one dish that has all of the flavors of fall that you crave. Add a scoop of ice cream and you’re in for a real treat!

Yesterday the heat index reached 102 here in south Alabama. This isn’t anything abnormal here, as it really doesn’t get truly cold until January, but with all of these visions of pumpkins and all-things-fall floating around in my head, I can’t help but be a bit disappointed when I step outside and it isn’t sweater weather yet.

There are two things that I absolutely love – amazing recipes with a long family history, and seeing women thrive in what sets their soul on fire. When those two things just so happen to collide, you can find me in the front row cheering with bells and whistles on! Christian Sargent is the owner of Vicky Cakes, and is a woman entrepreneur that I have been inspired by for quite some time.

Strawberry French Toast Bake is all the rage in our household right now. Grab the recipe here and prepare to fall in love!

Few things make me happier than sitting down to a warm breakfast. Admittedly, it’s not something I elect to do every morning, but when Saturday and Sunday roll around, I like to break out the frying pans and casserole dishes and crank up the music while I summon up a little culinary magic in the kitchen. Making a French toast dish with fresh strawberries had been on my mind for days, and I was ready to get the breakfast party started!

Healthy Halloween Smoothie Recipes

October 3, 2018 by Laura Tucker Leave a Comment

These Healthy Halloween Smoothie Recipes are the perfect way to step away from the candy and give your tummy some frighteningly fabulous fuel to kick start the day!

I recently read an article stating that Americans purchase nearly 600 million lbs of candy a year for Halloween alone. Halloween certainly had a lock on being the holiday that generates the most candy sales, but Easter and Christmas really aren’t too terribly far behind! Don’t get me wrong, though. I LOVE a Reese’s Pumpkin as much as the next girl, and I’m all about baking spooky treats during this time of year (you may have seen these cute little mummy madeleines I posted yesterday,) but because it’s so easy to overindulge in the sweet side of Halloween, I try to make sure I’m fueling my body with good-for-me things, too.

Smoothies are such a great way to pack in a ton of goodness into your diet, and I’m absolutely smitten with these Healthy Halloween Smoothie recipes all put together by some pretty creative and talented bloggers. I’m sharing a few of my favorites below to help get you into the Halloween spirit in a healthy way!

My Biggest Pregnancy Craving & How I’m Enjoying it Guilt Free!

May 18, 2018 by Laura Tucker Leave a Comment

This post was sponsored by Hood as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.

Now that I’ve entered my 3rd trimester of pregnancy, things are starting to get a little more hectic around our household. My toddler has done her very best over the past several months to sort-of ignore the fact that a new little girl will be stripping her of her “only child” title, and she can totally sense something is going on as I begin to nest and make preparations for her baby sister. She has been actively demanding ALL of my attention, and certainly not cutting me any slack when it comes to me lacking energy and not being able to get down on the floor and play with her. She’s definitely been keeping me on my toes, and as a result I’ve been slacking a good bit on taking care of my own personal needs.…

Simple Blackberry Bread Recipe

May 11, 2018 by Laura Tucker Leave a Comment

Mother’s Day is coming up this weekend, and to celebrate my family is taking a little day trip down to the gulf to have a little fun in the sun! Now that I’m in my 3rd trimester, it’s not quite as easy to get out and do things like it was just a few months ago. Since I’m in the home stretch of this pregnancy, I knew it was important for my family to get out and have fun together as much as possible before we grow from a family of 3 to a family of 4! Needless to say, I’ve been up on my feet these last few days making a list (and checking it twice) to make sure we don’t forget anything while packing – because a trip to Walmart during a vacation sounds absolutely dreadful to me!
