Cupcakes, Shopping and Award Show...Oh My!

This weekend has been made up of several of my favorite things...cupcakes, shopping and award shows!

Let me recap...

I was never so happy to see a week come to an end as I was on Friday!  It wasn't that it was a particularly bad week, but it was just the longest week in history.  Hopefully this week I will be back in the swing of things and be used to leaving my house by 6:30 three morning a week. 

On Friday, after I was done with school, court and some other work, I headed down to Dallas.  I had two rings that were being re-sized (seems my knuckles are bigger and my fingers fatter) and I went down to  pick those up.  While there, I made a run to Society Bakery. 
I had been wanting to pay them a visit.  They've been voted best cupcakes in Dallas and some of the best in the country, so I thought I needed to give them a try.  I got 4 different ones and Jennifer and I sampled them all.
They aren't particularly pretty, but they were pretty good.  They still don't top J. Rae's from Fort Worth.

On Saturday, my Mom came to town for lunch and shopping.  Apparently my Dad told her he was sick of seeing her wear the same tops to all the dances they attend, and told her to go shopping.  After lunching at PF Changs, we hit up several stores and got her some cute new stuff.  I didn't get much... I got a skirt at Ann Taylor Loft for $4.88 and a sleep shirt/tank for $3 and change to match some sleep shorts I bought earlier this week.  I was a big spender!  My Mom bought me this adorable cupcake keyring that I had been waiting on Coach to bring to the outlet!
My Lola dog Coach keychain had broken earlier this year and I've been wanting this one as a replacement.

Today, I'm doing a whole lot of nothing to prepare for another busy week.  I'm watching One Tree Hill and then tonight Live from the Red Carpet and The Emmys.  You know I love an award show!

I haven't made it to Society Bakery. How was the chocolate? Chocolate with vanilla icing {black and whites} are my absolute favorite.

OMG, I've been waiting on a chance to get my hands on that Coach Cupcake key chain! Where is there an outlet?

Swiss Oatmeal {Copy Cat Recipe}

I'm obsessed with Swiss Oatmeal.  I particularly love   Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal.  If you are not familiar with Swiss Oatmeal, it is a cold oatmeal cereal with fruit and nuts. I've had a similar recipe for years, but it was only similar.  It wasn't close enough for my liking.  So I finally set out into the land of Pinterest to find a recipe that was a good Copy Cat.  I found a few, combined them and came up with what I think is a very close Copy Cat Recipe of Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal. Here's what I do (note, this recipe is really just pictures, because I don't really have measurements for these things.  The photos aren't great, but it's easier if I show you what I do)... Here's the Phase 1 ingredients...   Milk Honey Yogurt (I use a vanilla greek yogurt) Oats (old fashioned, not quick...you probably could do steel cut too)    I've simplified this to where you only need a bowl and a spoon for Phase 1 becau

Europe 2023 {Day 9 ~ Munich & Bavarian Alps}

 On Tuesday, December 20th I grabbed breakfast at the hotel and then walked about 15 minutes to where I met my tour for the day.  On my first visit to Munich, I only had time for one "day trip" outside of the city and I chose to go to Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial, but I always knew I wanted to venture down to the Bavarian Alps and see some castles on my next visit.  I had booked the premium tour and it was so fancy.  There was a snack bar and they even served beer and wine on the way home after the last stop of the day.  First stop was at Linderhof Castle. This was a "small" castle of King Ludwig's that was a partial mini-replica of Versailles.  It was a snowy walk to the castle... Interior photos were not allowed, but you can see some pics of the interior HERE Like Versailles, there are fountains and sculptures surrounding Linderhof, but they cover the statues with wood huts to protect them from the winter elements. After visiting Linderhof, we made a (to

It's all about the dress...

I mean I guess it's really all about getting married, but come on, you always anticipate the dress right?  Well holy moly folks!  Today a big secret was released to the press.  No, we still don't know which dress or tiara Kate will be wearing, but we heard for the first time that Princess Diana had a back-up dress!  Here are some of the pictures and sketches... Real dress on Left~ Back-up on the Right Here are the sketches of the back-up dress And you know what?  I like the back-up dress better than the one she wore!  I know, I know.  I'm going to get blasted for saying that, but I'll just confess it right now... My name is Kara and I've never thought Princess Diana's dress was all that and a bag of chips.  Nope.  Not my favorite Royal Wedding Dress by any stretch of the imagination.  What is my favorite?  Probably the one that Sarah Ferguson wore when she married Andrew... It had beautiful beading and stitching throughout.  Also on the train it had an &quo
