Banana Egg Pancakes

Today I get to share with you my favorite 

weekend breakfast: Banana Egg Pancakes

They are very healthy and easy to make!  

You mix together two eggs and one banana (per person). 

Pour small amounts into a greased frying pan over medium-low.  

You will want to keep an eye on them and flip as needed.

 If you have a thing for sweets like I do you can add a couple of chocolate chips.  

This is definitely a favorite for my husband too!

Enjoy!

Calligraphy Chairs

I want this to be the next big thing.  

Instead of place cards you write everyone's name on their chair!

This. is. Genius.  (and gorgeous!)

 

This gorgeous idea came from the talented team of Karson Butler Events.

Their website is incredible and I would highly recommend taking a look.

Wish List

1. This ring is beautiful but maybe we'll opt for an etsy version for our one year anniversary.  A girl can never have too many rings.

2. If I could design my dream purse this would be it.  The shape, the color, LOVE

3. I'm loving these fancy earbuds.  However, I tend to destroy, tangle, and loose mine so I just can't quite splurge on these...

4.  I'm loving wrap sweaters.  If you remember my old blog (here) you'll know that I have always loved ballet.  The sweater above is simply perfect for the winter time.

Summer Berry Picking

This weekend Justin and I had the best summer date.  

We drove 30 minutes outside of the city and into the mountains and ended at Bybee Berry Farm.  

We spent the afternoon picking blueberries in their quaint little orchard. 

We then continued our afternoon to a park next to a slow flowing river and picked blackberries.  

Our bellies were full of delicious antioxidants and tided us over until we got home 

and made a delicious cobbler.  I will share the recipe in a post sometime soon.  

Our summer is jam packed as we try and take advantage of this 

gorgeous Pacific Northwest weather.  Its warm and sunny so you can spend all day 

outside and not be too scorched.  

How have you been spending your summer weekends?

Champagne Cake

Bubbles, Butter, and Blooms.  I’ve never considered myself an excellent cook but I do love to bake.  Below is a recipe to one of my favorite recipes: Pink Champagne Cake.  I originally found the recipe here but I’ve tweaked it just a bit to make it my own. My favorite part is that it allows for a little extra champagne in the bottle so you can sip as you bake away! I hope you enjoy.   
   

Cheers!

Pink Champagne Cake

Ingredients:

       3 cups all-purpose flour

3 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter

2 cups sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

6 egg whites

2 cups pink champagne

Directions:

*Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two

9-inch cake pans (or cut parchment paper to fit).

*In a bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt.

In a mixing bowl beat butter and sugar 3 to 5 minutes

until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and beat in the eggs one at a time.

*Beat in flour mixture and champagne in three alternating additions,

starting and ending with flour to prevent curdling. Pour batter into pans and bake

35 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

*Let cool and then frost the middle and top layer only.
