Festive Treats

 

Plaid shirt |  Leggings | Boots | Headband


Over the weekend, we had our first cookie making venture of the season! One of my favorite types of Christmas cookies is spritz cookies- it is the one you use with the cookie press to make really cute shapes. I searched Pinterest for a gluten free spritz recipe, and found this super simple one from Thriving Gluten Free.

I always try to find the gluten free recipes that do not have all sorts of crazy additive ingredients because it can be hard to find those, and they can be spendy. This one is literally just gf flour, sugar, butter and egg! And my goodness are they delicious, and smelled amazing while they baked. We baked some cookies, listened to holiday tunes, and out of nowhere, it started to snow!! It felt like the perfect cozy vibe for what turned into a snowy afternoon.

  Here's the recipe from Thriving Gluten Free: my one note is that I used the 1-to-1 gluten free flour blend from Bob's Red Mill!


We also made what my family calls Hockey Pucks. I feel like it is a midwestern thing? I could be wrong, haha. They are so yummy, but not gf, so I cannot eat them anymore. I am trying to find a gluten free cracker that is like a Ritz cracker so I can make these gf! But these cookies are just two Ritz crackers with peanut butter (or any nut butter) sandwiched in the middle, and then dipped in chocolate and allowed to dry. We use almond bark so we do not have to temper the chocolate ourselves!


Poppy really wanted to help, or maybe just eat the cookies, lol.

A Thanksgiving Look

Turtleneck  |   Skirt  |   Tights  |   Boots Thanksgiving is only one week away! I am excited to go home, and spend time with my family and friends. This is a holiday that is HARD to dress for. On one hand, you want to wear joggers and a big sweater because of all of the yummy food and treats. On the other hand, you want to dress up, or slightly dress up while still feeling comfy. Hence, the big dressing dilemma: how to create the right look for your kind of holiday? I like to dress it up a little , without wearing a cocktail outfit or gown, haha. I created this look for a dressy, casual look. It is an easy outfit to put together, and I bet you have some similar pieces in your closet! A turtleneck, plaid skirt and tights is such a classic fall look that is also great for this holiday. It is kind of an easy dressing equation too because it is so easy to mix and match what you have in your closet, or buy one new piece that you know will go with an...

My Gal Meets Glam Collection

Hello! You might have already figured this out, but I have a serious obsession with every single Gal Meets Glam dress and collection . I feel like I am starting to grow quite the collection of the insanely beautiful dresses. I recently did a poll on my Instagram, and you guys said that you wanted to see my collection. I have compiled pictures from older posts, and from my iPhone to show you! I have purchased all of these on sale, or received them as gifts (thanks mom). I think getting them on sale is my secret for buying Gal Meets Glam dresses. They are 100% worth the investment, and will always be in style because they are such classic pieces and silhouettes. A new collection comes out about every month, and every month I look at it, and think: I want it all!! The next drop is March 13th, and I am so excited!! I have added the name of each dress below the picture. Because these are from the "older" collections, I cannot find most of the links. But here are my tips if you...
