We were finally able to celebrate Em's March birthday last week so, of course, her annually requested fresh fruit watermelon cake was in order. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We went with a rectangular shape this year to change things up because you know I always like to push the creative boundaries and challenge myself to come up with something new.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
However, I can't take the credit for the finished cake this year. I only helped with some final shaping of the watermelon base before Em and her friend worked together to add all of the other fruit. It turned out beautiful. I love the attention to detail with the placement of fruit varieties...especially how they used the sliced strawberries in alternating rows to finish off the top of the cake. </div>

If you've never tried your hand at making a fresh fruit watermelon cake I hope this post inspires you. (<i>see the step-by-step linked below</i>)<br />
<br />
They are the prettiest and yummiest <b>guilt-free whole food cake </b>and hits the mark on everyone's dietary restrictions, <i>unless you can't eat fruit, </i>since it's <b>dairy-free, gluten-free, grain-free, processed sugar-free, nut-free, vegan and my favorite...whole30 approved. </b><br />
<br />
When we slice it up for family, we usually have whipped cream for those that want it. (<i>for the vegan and dairy-free people, you can also serve it with the canned almond whipped cream or coconut whipped cream varieties found in the refrigerated section of your local grocery stores)</i>.<br />

COVID-19 social distancing was the reason for the delay in being able to celebrate with Em.<br />
A wonderful visit from her and a her friend last week helped make it happen. She actually thought she was just coming up for a visit...<i>the whole time I was scheming to surprise her with a belated 21st birthday celebration! </i>We even got her with silly string<i> - also a family birthday tradition. *wink*</i>Pen + Paper Flowershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10797331888339767593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3823515726904579193.post-34239690904010121802020-04-23T16:03:00.001-04:002020-04-23T16:03:38.772-04:00RECIPE | Chicken Lazone<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm always excited to try new recipes to help keep me inspired in the kitchen.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This week I tried a recipe from a friend and it did not disappoint.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I knew going into it this would be a meal Ella and Jay would thoroughly enjoy because of the pasta...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
AND it would be a meal I could easily adapt to meet my own personal preferences for clean eating.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That mindset is actually how I go about meal planning each week. I always try to figure out something I can make that will satisfy everyone's appetites but also meet the desired food related preferences I have for clean eating.<br />
<br />
The recipe calls for deliciously seasoned chicken served on a bed of pasta swimming in a delightful creamy sauce. I simply eliminated the sauce and pasta and enjoyed my chicken on a fresh bed of romaine. (<i>and we all enjoyed some steamed green beans as a side</i>).</div>

I sure hope you'll try it. It won't disappoint.</div>

I will say, it's quite spicy so I would eliminate the red pepper altogether or at least reduce it by half if your family doesn't prefer the "kick".<br />

I've been posting my weekly dinner menus on the <b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/pnpflowers/" target="_blank">Pen + Paper Flowers Instagram feed</a></b> and I had so many requests asking for my Fish Tacos recipe, I decided to post it here on the blog.<br />
<br />
They are quite easy to put together and pack quite a flavor explosion with every bite.<br />
And trust me when I say I love preparing simple meals that can be altered to fit everyone's dietary preferences without having to make completely separate meals. This meal is a perfect example of that. I eat mine in lettuce cups (as pictured) to keep them whole30 approved for myself but Ella and Jay prefer flour tortillas.<br />
<br />
There's a delicious citrus dressing used to garnish the tacos and a refreshing easy coleslaw you can use as garnish and a side dish.<br />
<br />

As we are staying home during this interesting and unusual period in history with COVID-19, I've really decided to try my best to make sure my perspective is one of <b>hope, opportunity, and joy.</b> <i>Here's an example...</i><br />
<br />
OPPORTUNITY<br />
A couple of weeks ago, with the anticipation of another month of isolation, I decided to use April as an opportunity to get some Spring Cleaning done<i>. </i>With Ella home, it's also a chance to work side-by-side with her on deep cleaning tasks I haven't taught her yet.<br />
<br />
HOPE<br />
My approach going into this was very methodical -> I wanted it to be achievable and as easy as possible...<i>no overwhelm or added stress.</i> With that in mind, I created a good sized checklist so as to pick one or two things to accomplish every day <i>with Ella's assistance</i> and be completely finished by the end of the month. Basically, 30 days to a deep cleaned home.<br />
<b><br /></b>
JOY<br />
I turned this list into a beautiful printable that makes me happy when I look at it and now I'm excited to share it with you. My hope is that it will inspire you to do a little Spring Cleaning in your own home <i>and with your family's help too.</i> Can you imagine how happy we'll all feel when we get to the end of the month with everything completed and our homes sparkling clean?<br />

Trust me...there are definitely days/moments where I feel like every little thing is getting on my last nerve having been cooped up in the house. BUT...I try really hard to turn that negativity right into something positive. And then there are some days I just go to bed early. *giggle*Pen + Paper Flowershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10797331888339767593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3823515726904579193.post-10031791554518654752020-03-26T14:35:00.001-04:002020-03-26T14:35:41.061-04:00BAKING | EASY HOMEMADE SLICED BREAD<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

What an interesting time we are living in right now my friends.<br />
The entire world has come to a stop due to COVID-19...<i>schools have closed, businesses have shut down, states are issuing "stay in place" orders, grocery store shelves are completely empty, hospitals are without proper medical masks and equipment, there are thousands of people who've contracted the virus and sadly, thousands who've succumbed to it. </i><br />
<br />
We are living in uncertain times, for sure, and with all of the collective what-ifs and worry, I'm choosing to cling to the positives. (<i>while staying home</i>)<br />
<br />
What an incredible blessing this <b><i>could</i></b> be...if we allow it to be; An amazing gift of time.<br />
This could actually be the pause button we've all wished for on those days when we were wishing hard for a breather...a break from the busyness.<br />
<br />
This is an opportunity to take a step back and really put into perspective what's REALLY important. Never in the history of our world has everyone on the entire planet been more simultaneously united by anything...ever. Pretty crazy, right?<br />
<br />
It's astonishing to think about, actually. And something we may never experience again.<br />
I'm choosing to view this moment in history as miraculous. Yes, sadly, there will be some of us who will lose our lives to this...but I also believe there will be many more who will unexpectedly, through this experience, have life restored to them.<br />
<br />
........<br />
<br />
So...homemade bread...because homemade bread gives me life.<br />
And I think we could all use a little comfort food right now.<br />
This recipe makes some beautiful, delicious loaves and the ingredients are simple.<br />
And...your family will pretty much think you're a superstar. (<i>scroll down for recipe</i>)<br />

It's delicious all on it's own but exceptionally yummy with a little butter.<br />
PS - a little bit o' honey sweetens the pot. *wink*<br />

Sure hope you'll try it!<br />

How to cook Homemade Classic White Bread Loaves</h2>
<div class="ccm-section">
<ol>
<li itemprop="recipeInstructions">Preheat oven to 350º.</li>
<li itemprop="recipeInstructions">Grease 4 loaf pans, generously, with olive oil or baking spray.</li>
<li itemprop="recipeInstructions">Set aside.</li>
<li itemprop="recipeInstructions">Mix 5 cups warm water, yeast, honey, and olive oil in large stand mixer with whisk attachment. Allow yeast mixture to sit for 5 minutes to activate. (mixture should become bubbly - if not, allow more time to sit).</li>
<li itemprop="recipeInstructions">Remove whisk attachment and replace with dough hook attachment.</li>
<li itemprop="recipeInstructions">Add 2 TBSP salt, wheat gluten, and 2 cups flour to bowl</li>
<li itemprop="recipeInstructions">Mix well and scrape the bowl with rubber spatula. </li>
<li itemprop="recipeInstructions">With mixer on low, add remaining 6 cups of flour to avoid dust cloud.</li>
<li itemprop="recipeInstructions">Once flour is integrated, mix on medium high until thoroughly combined.</li>
<li itemprop="recipeInstructions">Dough should begin to pull away from sides of bowl after a few minutes.</li>
<li itemprop="recipeInstructions">If not, slowly add more flour until it does. </li>
<li itemprop="recipeInstructions">Dough should be firm but not dry - moist but not overly sticky.</li>
<li itemprop="recipeInstructions">Turn dough onto floured surface.</li>
<li itemprop="recipeInstructions">Dip fingers in a small amount of oil and rub hands together. </li>
<li itemprop="recipeInstructions">Begin kneading dough while maintaining oily hands - this keeps dough pliable, smooth, and easy to work with throughout the kneading process.</li>
<li itemprop="recipeInstructions">Knead for 5-10 minutes, continually folding the dough towards the middle and pushing down with your palms - adding small amounts of oil to your fingers and hands as necessary.</li>
<li itemprop="recipeInstructions">When dough is nice and smooth, form into large ball and quarter it, using a sharp knife.</li>
<li itemprop="recipeInstructions">Form each of the four sections into small loaves and place in prepared pans.</li>
<li itemprop="recipeInstructions">Place on stovetop or counter and allow to rise until dough doubles in size. (spritzing every 15 minutes with a water bottle). This can take 30 minutes to an hour.</li>
<li itemprop="recipeInstructions">Bake for 30 minutes, tops should be golden brown. </li>
<li itemprop="recipeInstructions">Remove from oven and invert loaf into your heat-protected hand. </li>
<li itemprop="recipeInstructions">Tap on the bottom of the loaf - a hollow sound determines it's done.</li>
<li itemprop="recipeInstructions">Allow to cool on a wire rack before slicing.</li>
<li itemprop="recipeInstructions">Slice and store in bread keeper, zip top bag or air tight container.</li>
<li itemprop="recipeInstructions">PRO TIP: Use an electric knife to slice when cooled for perfectly sliced bread. </li>

<u><b>DIRECTIONS</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Print FREE Ghirardelli Bar labels of choice.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Trim to size using scissors or paper trimmer.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>TIPS: </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<br />
<b>Please Note: </b><i>Ghirardelli has two different 3.5oz candy bar selections. These labels have been designed to accommodate both. For the smaller 3.5oz bar, I chose to trim off a little more of the sides to expose more of the pretty gold wrapper underneath. </i></div>

The real name for these delicious after-school morsels is "Sunflower Seed Butter Crunch Bars".</div>
</div>
<div>
Knowing Ella would put her nose up to something that remotely sounded healthy, I opted to shorten them to "Butter Crunch Bars" when she asked me what I was making the other day. *wink*</div>
<div>
After-school snacks are always a bit of a struggle. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As a parent, I want to feel good about giving Ella something without all of the sugar and processed junk in typical snacks...but also something she is excited to eat because it actually tastes good. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
These delicious butter crunch bars are the exact thing Ella and I have both been looking for.</div>
<div>
They are filled with good-for-you ingredients, are easy to whip up, and are quite tasty! (<i>maybe even a little addicting</i>). </div>
<div>

Fresh florals to replace the fresh cedar and now we've got a whole new look for the <b><a href="https://www.pnpflowersinc.com/2020/01/Snickerdoodle-Hot-Cocoa-Cookies-Bar.html" target="_blank">Snickerdoodle Hot Cocoa Bar I created for Christmas</a></b>. I love how everything else was kept exactly the same except for the florals and now it looks like a completely different hot cocoa bar - <i>perfectly perfect for Valentine's Day or a winter wedding.</i> (see the original -><b><a href="https://www.pnpflowersinc.com/2020/01/Snickerdoodle-Hot-Cocoa-Cookies-Bar.html" target="_blank">Christmas Snickerdoodle Hot Cocoa Bar</a>)</b><br />
<br />
I then took things a step farther after a fun poll on Instagram stories.<br />
I gave everyone over there 3 different "Valentine's-ish" sign options to choose from and here's what they picked...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Same florals, different sign and now another different vibe....<i>even more Valentine's-esque.</i><br />
This "Cuddles + Cocoa" sign is just so simple and charming and was actually my personal favorite of the three options I let everyone choose from.<br />

I went into designing this with the idea of creating a cozy, dreamy, romantic setting for a night of snuggling on the couch with Jay while sipping on mugs of delicious hot cocoa and binge-watching Netflix together. *wink*<br />
<br />
I hope this inspires you...knowing how simple changes can create an entirely new vibe - for your home decor, for your wardrobe, heck...even a recipe. *wink*<br />
<br />
And...I hope this lights your creative fire for some cozy Valentine's Day ideas...<i>we are exactly three weeks away from celebrating!!</i><br />

The cozy, dreamy Valentine's Day night I mentioned?<br />
Well...it's actually going to look just a tiny bit different.<br />
There's a daddy daughter dance that evening and Ella's bestie is coming to town for the weekend. So much for the <i>"romantic" </i>part of the evening! Ha!!<i> </i>We love when Elise is here<i> </i>and<i> </i>I'm totally looking forward to snuggling all together for a movie after they return from the dance. Lol!<br />
<br />
Slow start to my January with regards to my blog but slayin' things on the homefront with getting organized, decluttering and setting goals for 2020. <br />
I love using the entire month of January to reflect on the previous year...giving myself time to set some well thought-out goals. </div>

Our Snickerdoodle Hot Cocoa bar this year included a deliciously delightful bulk recipe for Snickerdoodle Hot Cocoa. It's so yummy.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Not only will you and your family enjoy this...you'll want to package some up for gift-giving during the Christmas season. Or just for the heck of it during the winter. *wink*</div>

I knew going into creating our <b><a href="https://www.pnpflowersinc.com/2020/01/Snickerdoodle-Hot-Cocoa-Cookies-Bar.html" target="_blank">Snickerdoodle Hot Cocoa + Cookies Bar </a></b>I wanted to include cinnamon marshmallows as a topping option.<br />
<br />
At first, I thought I'd just purchase a bag of cinnamon marshmallows from the popular brands out there but was surprised to find the cinnamon flavor doesn't exist. What?<br />
<br />
I then considered making homemade marshmallows but really wanted to keep things simple for myself and also for any of you considering making some.<br />
<br />
I discovered the <b>easiest, fastest solution</b> for creating cinnamon marshmallows and wow!<br />
<b>They. are. delicious! </b><br />
<br />
CINNAMON MARSHMALLOWS<br />
1 cup mini marshmallows<br />
1/2 TBSP powdered sugar<br />
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon<br />
<br />
Place in ziplock bag. Shake until covered. Enjoy!<br />
..........<br />
<br />
Easy, right?<br />
Sure hope you'll try them.<br />

The family voted to bring back the snickerdoodle hot cocoa flavor this year for our annual family hot cocoa bar..<i>and I certainly wasn't going to argue</i>. It's hands-down one of our favorite flavors we've come up with.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's creamy and delicious, and absolutely "cozy in a cup"...<i>or mug in this case.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I promise, once you've had a mug of this...I'm not certain you'll ever go back to classic hot cocoa mix again - <i>recipe linked at bottom of post.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Since I'd done the <b><a href="https://www.pnpflowersinc.com/2017/12/Hot-Cocoa-Bar-Sweet-and-Simple-Snickerdoodle.html" target="_blank">"Boho Snickerdoodle Hot Cocoa Bar"</a></b> previously, I knew I had to come up with ways to make this one unique and a little different.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
FOUR DISTINCT DIFFERENCES</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Four specific, intentional things I decided to do differently this year was the addition of snickerdoodle cookies to the bar, the creation of cinnamon marshmallows, splurging on some beautiful handmade mugs and plates and the creation of a bulk recipe for Snickerdoodle Hot Cocoa Mix -<i> </i>eliminating the need to add brown sugar and ground cinnamon to your mug like we did last time. <i>Bulk recipe linked at the bottom of post.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
THE SIGN</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Believe it or not, I started designing the background of this sign November 2018...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I just never had time to finish it for our 2018 hot cocoa season. (just one more reason I had my Christmas decor up by Halloween night this year...s<i>o I could ENJOY the holidays this go around</i>). Lol.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Anyway, good thing because the whole vibe of the sign compliments the snickerdoodle theme this year. I'm in love with the subtle snowflake details and the Old World charm. (<i>sign tutorial coming</i>)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Framing out the sign with fresh cedar gives a subtle nod to the Christmas season, <i>which I adore.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Knowing we'd be keeping the hot cocoa bar up through February, <i>as in previous years</i>, I wanted something that would transition seamlessly from Christmas and throughout the winter season. (<i>and allow me to use it for Valentine's Day with a few simple changes - that idea is coming soon</i>).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You'll notice in some of the images, I originally only had greenery on the sign and the hot cocoa mix jar but later decided to add it to the glass dome on the cookies and also chose to lay a piece on the small cake stand holding the wood spoons, paper straws, cinnamon sugar shaker, and the cinnamon sticks used for garnish + decor. It's simple little touches like that that make the overall look feel finished and cohesive. I'm so happy with it.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sit back and enjoy the imagery...I'm hoping it will inspire you to create your own Snickerdoodle Hot Cocoa + Cookies Bar this winter season. <i>Resources listed at the bottom of the post.</i></div>

Simple ingredients, <i>and this <b><a href="https://amzn.to/2LXEQ4D" target="_blank">beautiful snowflake pan</a></b> (<- linked here or in the recipe below),</i> made my first attempt at baking shortbread cookies extra delightful.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I made the "classic" shortbread cookies using the recipe booklet that came with the stoneware pan. Since the recipe was so easy and turned out quite delicious, I'm now looking forward to trying some of the other fun flavors included in the booklet...<i>ginger, lemon, chocolate, orange spice and a nut option! </i></div>

These shortbread cookies are what inspired me to try another shortbread cookie recipe for <b><a href="https://www.pnpflowersinc.com/2019/12/Chocolate-Topped-Shortbread-Cookies-Petit-Ecolier.html" target="_blank">the pétit Écoliers I shared the other day.</a></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I can't decide which recipe I love better but what I do love about this one is that it requires less ingredients, <i>leaving you with nine cookies total</i>. And yum..those nine cookies are delicious.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The recipe is so easy it'd be a cinch to whip up multiple batches too. </div>

Speaking of Instagram, if you aren't following me over there, today you missed the gingerbread house treat bags I made, a hot cocoa recipe, and some toffee I whipped up. Tomorrow, I'll be sharing a peek at my hot cocoa bar, and a couple of wonderful gift ideas Ella and I packaged up together today.<br />
<br />

</span></b><br />
I am on sugar overload with all of the sweets I've been baking...<i>and eating.</i><br />
I spontanesouly whipped up a batch of toffee last night just because I saw a recipe<br />
posted on Instagram. And yum. It's delicious. I need to share that recipe too! *wink*<br />
All of these sweets have me really looking forward to setting some new goals after the holidays.Pen + Paper Flowershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10797331888339767593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3823515726904579193.post-32092746454564459362019-12-18T17:19:00.001-05:002019-12-18T21:00:01.325-05:00BAKING | Chocolate Topped Shortbread Cookies (Homemade Pétit Écoliers)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Looking for a fancy cookie without a lot of fuss?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This. This is the one you want. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Inspired by <b>my recent attempt at easy, delicious shortbread cookies</b>, I decided to try my hand at a homemade version of French pétit Écoliers.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My initial thought was to create a shortbread cookie and marry it with a beautiful molded piece of chocolate. Turns out, I couldn't find beautiful chocolate molds - or at least the ones I envisioned in my head. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I chose to use a soap mold I found and ordered a set of oval cookie cutters to match and the rest is cookie history. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm thrilled it actually worked. I had some doubts but that didn't stop me from trying.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had to do a little tweaking with the cookie cutter (see "TIP" on the recipe card), otherwise, they were a piece of cake...errr...cookie. *wink*</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
You start with making your chocolates so they can be ready to place on your slightly cooled but warm-enough-to-melt-chocolate-a-tee-tiny-bit baked cookies. (<i>that was a mouthful - and these cookies will be too</i>). *wink*</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
These cookies will make a real impression (<i>pun intended</i>), especially if you package them up really cute like I did here. <b>FREE printable Shortbread Cookie gift label set linked below.</b></div>

I've got 4 gifts wrapped and under the tree my friends!<br />
That's a feat for me with it only being the third day of December.<br />
<br />
Admittedly, I'm usually wrapping gifts on Christmas Eve...always with regret for not doing it sooner so I could enjoy all of the pretty details for more than 8-10 hours.<br />
<br />
I promised myself to break that unintentional tradition this year and so far so good.<br />
<br />
Along with my rolls of Kraft paper and some fresh eucalyptus, I put together a tray of pretty ribbons, tags, strings, twine, yarn, dried oranges, scissors and tape. Having the supplies gathered together makes it really easy, <i>and convenient,</i> to quickly wrap additional gifts leading up to Christmas.<br />
<br />

<br />
My gift wrapping usually always starts with either brown kraft or white wrapping paper.<br />
I like to keep it pretty neutral to allow the pretty ribbons, fabrics, greenery and tags to be the stars of the "gift wrapping show". I'm using dried oranges again from last year's Christmas decor and gift wrapping. I love them.<br />
<br />
TIP: <i>I also love spritzing the dried oranges with orange and clove essential oils. Makes them deliciously fragrant and adds another special element to the gift giving experience.</i><br />
<br />
This year, my gifts will be adorned with an extra special detail...<br />
...these <b><a href="https://www.target.com/p/cream-with-black-falala-gift-tags-8ct-with-black-ribbon-sugar-paper-8482/-/A-54566222" target="_blank">beautiful "fa-la-la-la-la" gift tags</a></b> hand-lettered by <b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/aedriel/" target="_blank">my sweet friend Aedriel.</a></b><br />
She collaborated with <b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/sugarpaperla/" target="_blank">Sugar Paper LA</a></b> to create some gorgeous holiday pretties for Target.<br />
These tags are even more gorgeous in real life because the card stock is nice and thick and<br />
the finish of the lettering mimics letterpress. I'm completely smitten.<br />

This neutral style of gift wrapping reaches far beyond Christmas too. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The combination of cotton lace, sheer ribbon and fresh eucalyptus makes it versatile enough for a wedding birthday, or any other special occasion gift. </div>

Adding some fresh, natural elements to your gift wrapping is easy, beautiful and fun!</div>

<b>The 25 Days of Christ.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's an advent devotional ornament kit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's purpose? To help keep us focused on Christ through the Christmas season. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
25 ornaments.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
25 correlating scriptures. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
25 days to cuddle up with your family for a few minutes each day and connect.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And by connect I mean to your family <b>and</b> to the "reason for the season".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I purchased the <b><a href="https://newtraditioncrafts.com/collections/the-25-days-of-christ-1/products/copy-of-coming-september-1-2015?variant=29394073813061" target="_blank">25 Days of Christ Unfinished Ornament Kit</a></b> from <i>New Tradition Crafts</i> a couple of years ago. I left my ornaments raw, <i>instead of painting them</i>, and added neutral finishing touches to a few of them to keep them really simple and as organic as possible. I love them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The set comes with a book with a reading schedule to keep you on track with which scriptures to read and which ornament to hang each day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This year, I discovered <i>New Tradition Crafts</i> has something new available called <b><a href="https://newtraditioncrafts.com/collections/our-products/products/the-good-shepherd-illustrated-book?variant=29201272537157" target="_blank">"The Good Shepherd Illustrated Book"</a></b> to go along with the kit, so I added it this year for our family to use with our ornaments.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I decided to share all of the details of my own ornament set this year to show you how I finished mine. I'm hoping it will serve as a guide for those of you who might need help and inspiration with your own kits.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I also wanted to show you the little tree we use to display our ornaments during the 25 Days of Christ. You don't have to have a separate tree like we do...you can use your family Christmas tree if you like. The idea is to do what works for your family...and for your life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
One of the other things about this advent devotional I love is you can easily gear it towards children of all ages. For instance, you can use The Good Shepherd book with younger kids who thrive on visuals. Or you can choose to read directly from the scriptures for older children who aren't interested in "kiddie" activities anymore. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Basically, it's something I feel our family will never outgrow since it's so adaptable. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I hope you are inspired to try a set for your own family.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Or at the very least, find ways to stay focused on the magic of the Christmas season.</div>

I failed last year when it came to staying focused on the "reason for the season".</div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
We didn't even do the 25 Days of Christ.</div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
I was so sad about the lack of "feeling" last Christmas I vowed not to have a repeat.</div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Just another reason why it worked for me to have my Christmas decor up by Halloween night this year. As crazy as that sounds, it's made such a difference already in making sure I have time to "ENJOY" the holidays.</div>

As I mentioned in my <b><a href="https://www.pnpflowersinc.com/2019/11/fall-porch-decorating-idea-no-1.html" target="_blank">Fall Porch Idea No. 1 Post, </a></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I was craving charm and simplicity <i>with a warm welcome.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So, I decided to change things up and eliminated the bright orange pumpkins, the sprigs of wheat, pinecones, <i>and some of the other decor</i> and replaced the iron basket with a simplistic $2 thrift store basket to hold my pumpkins.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I added a pretty piece of pottery filled with natural reed grass, a simple blanket next to the basket of pumpkins and a rocking bench cushion topped with a pillow and blanket. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I'm in love with the overall vibe. </div>

Hopefully this post will help you pause when you are decorating your own home - <i>seasonally or every day decor </i>- and ask yourself if the direction you are going is speaking to <i><b>you</b></i>. Trends come and go. Decide what makes <i>your</i> home <i>"feel" </i>like home...and go in that direction. You won't be disappointed.</div>

The changes to the front porch made SUCH a big difference to the overall feeling I get every time I walk out there to water plants or when I'm sitting on the rocker snuggling my Ella Pie. I love it.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I did two different fall porches this year...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
My goal was to use things I had on hand and not purchase anything additional. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This meant no real pumpkins. So, I gathered together my collection of faux pumpkins, <i>and a dried gourd I picked up in an antique store one year,</i> and placed them in an antique planter - taking center stage on my front porch bench.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I added pinecones and lanterns, a splash of more fall color with the use of a piece of fabric used under the planter and I tucked in sprigs of wheat and reed grass to the centerpiece as well as other items on the bench for additional touches of fall.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I loved it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It screamed "fall" with all of the pinecones, pumpkins and wheat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Neighbors loved it too and it really did look pretty.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Done.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Well...something just wasn't sitting well with me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It didn't "feel" the way I wanted my Thanksgiving to feel.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The reason I chose to have my house decorated for Christmas by November 1st??</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Time. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Time to enjoy the little things the Christmas season brings with it.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I didn't have time last year.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Or rather, I didn't plan and prioritize to ensure I had the time.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Perfect example: these little wood ornaments. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I purchased these hand-crafted beauties at TJMaxx last year with the intention of repainting them and restringing them. The silver details and red ribbon (see below) weren't the woods + whites I was craving. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I knew all I needed was a little time to sit down and paint over the silver details and restring them with a creamy white ribbon to make them exactly what our woods + whites tree needed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I just didn't have the time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So they sat in the bag, tags still on them, unpainted. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I resented never having hung them...never having time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With intentional planning and a little goal setting...they are officially painted...and hanging.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And I love them so much.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's amazing how much a little paint, a little ribbon, <i>and a little time</i> makes!</div>

Crockpot Chicken Ranch Tacos my friends - <i>so delicious you won't realize it's clean eating.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This dairy-free, sugar-free, gluten-free weeknight meal is not only simple, it's also delicious and versatile. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One of the toughest things I face as a mom who cooks most nights is finding meals everyone will enjoy equally and not tire of quickly. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm always looking for healthy.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Jay wants hearty. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ella prefers something fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And of course...we all want tasty.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This meal makes us all happy! This flavor-packed, tender, shredded chicken allows Ella to have her tortillas, Jay can have his over rice or white potatoes with all of his favorite toppings and I like mine either as a salad or over a sweet potato. Win. Win. Win. -> <i>Recipe at the bottom!</i></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We are officially Harry Potter fans over here.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>Quite literally as of a few weeks ago when Ella's class read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>I know...we were probably the only people on the planet who hadn't read the book or seen the movie(s).</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, of course, as Ella was reading the book with her class and Halloween was approaching, she decided she wanted to dress up as Hermione for her costume this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As you can imagine, I had to do some research and get help from my friends on Instagram to get the costume together. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I think we pulled it off.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In fact, with Ella's input, she managed to jazz it up a bit and elevated the regular ole Hermione costume into a "hip" Hermione by choosing converse for shoes, a short sleeve white shirt, a black cardigan instead of the wizard robe and an "older Hermione" hairstyle with a simple, black barrette. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My favorite part about this costume is that it's SMART and SIMPLE!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>All of the clothing elements can be used in REAL life...long after Halloween has disappeared.</b> (<i>black pleated skirt, white short sleeve shirt, black cardigan, black knee high socks and the "hip" converse shoes)</i>. That makes me <i>and</i> my wallet happy.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'll let the pictures do the talking and I've got sources listed at the bottom in case you are curious about any of the items and need to pull one together too!</div>

She's a cutie pie. And she made a great Hermione.</div>

She usually wears glasses but chose not to wear them on Halloween night...just to make sure she was <u>really</u> in costume. *wink*</div>

It's funny...Ella's older sisters, <i>who have both read the book(s) years ago and are HP fans</i>, have always told me Ella reminds them of Hermione. I used to just laugh...not knowing who Hermione was...but now I completely understand what they mean. Ha!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

The cardigan didn't last 5 minutes in our 90º Florida heat on Halloween night...but she was <i>pretty </i>comfortable for a night of trick or treating. *wink*Pen + Paper Flowershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10797331888339767593noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3823515726904579193.post-17568270423333844202019-10-29T19:58:00.000-04:002019-10-29T19:58:28.248-04:00RECIPE | Fall Snack Mix<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Loving this lightly salted and slightly sweet snack mix.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We made some for gifting on our <b><a href="http://www.pnpflowersinc.com/2018/10/Cute-Halloween-Booing-Ideas.html" target="_blank">Phantom Pumpkin night</a></b> and I'm packaging some up to send in to Ella's teachers for Halloween on Thursday.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
You'll want to include the <b><a href="http://www.pnpflowersinc.com/2019/10/Maple-Infused-Walnuts-Recipe.html" target="_blank">Maple Infused Walnuts</a></b> I shared yesterday.

<div style="text-align: left;">
The candy corn is what really makes this a "fall themed" snack so feel free to change up the candy to match whatever season you might be celebrating. Or how about adding those candy corn flavored M+M's. That sounds yummy too.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This can be for Halloween or part of your pre-Thanksgiving feast.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Create a large bowl, (or in this case, a pie plate), or fill small jars or clear cellophane bags to share with friends and family. Recipe is at the bottom.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
You know those delicious candied walnuts (or pecans) we all love for snacking and adding to salads?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well I've got a recipe for you today that'll help remove some of the guilt associated with these delicious...<i>dare I say.</i>..addicting little morsels.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Have you ever tried maple-infused walnuts?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This <i>slightly sweet </i>and a lil' bit salty walnut recipe is delicious.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And did you know maple syrup has a low-glycemic index?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Put simply, it means this all natural sweetener doesn't wreak havoc on your blood glucose levels like refined sugar does. And we all know avoiding quick spikes in our blood sugar levels and insulin promotes all sort of wonderful health benefits! (<i>weightloss, a healthy heart, longer lasting energy, increased mental clarity, reduces some cancers, prevents age-related macular degeneration and frankly just keeps you feeling your best)</i>!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That said, I'm not encouraging you to "go nuts" (<i>pun intended</i>) on the maple syrup...<i>everything in moderation my friends.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
BUT...what I am saying is this pairing of maple syrup and walnuts (<i>which by the way have their own reputation for being loaded with good things - Omega-3's for instance</i>), sure makes me feel like I'm treating myself but in the best way. A very intentional way. "Intentional Snacking!" Is that a thing?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Add these to salads, trail mixes and package them up in a pretty jar and give them as a gift! (<i>hello...Christmas is right around the corner</i>). Ooo! That just made me think that maybe adding a lil' bit of cinnamon to them for a more festive fall/winter vibe would be good too?)<br />
<br />
Recipe is at the bottom!</div>

Pssst...these apples look pretty fancy, don't they?<br />
Some might even call them <i>"gourmet" </i>caramel apples.<br />
<br />
Well let me tell you...the recipe is anything BUT fancy.<br />
I got the recipe from my best friend on Instagram. (she has no idea we are BFF's...<i>not yet anyway</i>). *wink*<br />
<br />
Her name is <b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/handmade.farmhouse/" target="_blank">Emily at the Handmade Farmhouse</a></b> and she is fabulous.<br />
And so is this <b><a href="https://handmadefarmhouse.com/gourmet-caramel-apples-the-easy-way/" target="_blank">Caramel Apple recipe</a></b> she shared recently.<br />
<br />
I knew I had to try it and it did <u>not</u> disappoint.<br />
It's not nearly as hard as you would think - and NO CANDY THERMOMETER REQUIRED! Yay!<br />
You should totally try these for the fall season! They are a lot of fun to make.<br />
<br />
In fact...I got a little creative and made a few "Halloween" versions - see'em at the bottom of the post.<br />

Hello easy and delicious, (<i>dairy-free, gluten-free and whole30 approved</i>) Ranch Dressing Seasoning Mix! This is a wonderful mix to keep on hand when you are looking for a healthier alternative to the classic ranch dressing seasoning mix packets we've all grown to love. In fact, it's so delicious, how about we call this one "Secret Meadow"...a knock off to the original "Hidden Valley"...<i>but equally delish!</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Let's face it friends...we are "adulting" now and that requires us to pay a little more mind to what we are serving up on a consistent basis. Our families deserve better...and so do we. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And hey! Healthy doesn't have to be boring or hard.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This recipe will prove that to you. You can use it just as you would a packet of the classic stuff. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Make a veggie dip, salad dressing and even a marinade for your next chicken dish.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Recipe, is at the bottom of this post...and I'm sure hoping you'll try it!</div>
