A Fun Visit

I had such a fun weekend thanks to a visit from my friend Ann!  Sadly, I guess we were having too much fun for photos, so all I've got is a couple I snapped on my phone and a couple I "borrowed" from a website. 

Ann flew in from Lubbock on Friday afternoon.  She came with gifts of cupcakes and a couple of cute Vera Bradley pieces in my pattern.  Let me tell you about these cupcakes.  They were G O O D !  They come from a place called Cake in Lubbock.  Ann brought Pink Champagne, Red Velvet, Coconut and Lemon.  The Pink Champagne and Lemon were my favs.  Here's a pic of the inside of Cake...

and the pink champagne (I'd die for the recipe!)...

We went from the airport to Northpark to do a little light shopping and meet up with our friend Courtney for dinner at PF Changs.  I toted my heavy camera all over the stinking mall and did not take ONE photo!

On Saturday, we shopped around town until about 4:00, when we came home and watched our idol, Sarah Richardson, on her new show Sarah 101 on HGTV.  After that we felt the decorating bug and went to Ikea & Home Depot to procure some supplies to do a mirror project I've been wanting to do for a long while (more to come on that later).

We had dinner at Fireside Pies before coming home to tackle the project.  We had some yummy drinks & food.  I had this Tangerine Ginger drink.  It was so YUM!

And our pizza was surely healthy right?  I mean look at that pile of spinach & tomatoes!

Sunday we did brunch at a fab local place called Bonnie Ruth's before I had to return my friend to the airport to fly back to West Texas. 

It was such a fun weekend, but I'm sorry I was a poor blogger and didn't document with more photos.

Thanks for coming Ann!  I can't wait to come visit you during football season!

This sounds like the perfect girly weekend! I am a huge sucker for a good cupcake, and those look DELISH. I am so glad you had a good time! And, if you didn't take time to take pictures, must have just meant that you were having too much fun to bother with a camera. :) That's always a good thing!

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...
