Happy Friday lovebugs! It's my birthday weekend and I am looking forward to some bubbles, some great food, and friends. Here are my favorite recipes from this week. Slick Rick c/o Saveur
Ingredients
2 oz. navy strength gin
1⁄2 oz. olive oil, preferably Arbequina
1⁄2 oz. fresh lemon juice
1⁄2 oz. simple syrup
1 egg white
Pinch of kosher salt
Directions
Combine all ingredients into a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously; add ice then shake again, then strain into a chilled coupe.
2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
2 (15 oz) cans white beans, drained and rinsed well, 500g total drained
1 cup quick oats*
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
3 tbsp oil (grapeseed, vegetable or coconut)
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 10-inch springform pan and set aside.
Blend the dates with the milk until smooth a high quality food processor until very smooth. Add the remaining ingredients (except the chips) and blend very well in the food processor (not a blender**) until completely smooth. Stir in chips and transfer to the prepared pan.
Bake 35 to 40 minutes until firm. Remove from oven and let it cool 20 minutes before removing from the pan. Cut into 14 slices and serve warm topped with fat free frozen yogurt or your desired topping.
Sometimes fashion throws us a bone. For instance a few seasons ago when fashion was all 'oh hey, let's give your thighs a break with these ultra skinny jeans and try these bf jeans.' That was a great day. These days fashion is all 'oh man, skinny stilettos are zero fun to walk in, let's try this stacked heel.' And we're all 'heck yeah, fashion, thanks!' So today we're looking at some super comfy stacked heel booties.
Some great details on this shoe. Also available in black or light blue.
A stacked heel is a wonderful thing. It's easy to walk in and comfortable to wear all day long. Booties are going to be around for some time, so why not grab a pair that is comfy and stylish.
Happy hump day lovebugs,
Its been a long week, why not reward ourselves with some bag shopping. Specifically, the bucket bag. It comes in so many styles like slouchy, hobo, or sleek. Let's step up the bucket bag though, it's already a very trendy bag. Today we're adding tassels.
