Pumpkin spice cheesecake swirl // White Macadamia Nut Cheesecake Bites

Some days you just wake up and think about making cookies and muffins and cheesecake and you can't decide which to make so you make all three and combine the ingredients and end up with these. 

Pumpkin year round. The best. Cheesecake, even better addition. 

Graham cracker crust plus cheesecake and then add some cookies? Okay. 

Not the prettiest but they were so damn good. 

Smoothie Life

I have a mad love obsession for smoothies. I drink them non stop. I might be slightly obsessed with being healthy, or with the texture of smoothies, or my ninja. 

People really rave about the Vitamix but I just can't bring myself to buy a $600 blender. 

The Ninja is freaking amazing. I'm so in love with it. And it was only $20 at Target!! 

Before I moved to San Diego, my sister and I made smoothies pretty much for breakfast lunch and dinner. They are such an easy way to feel full, on a light mix, and incorporate fruits and veggies into your diet. 

I'm a vegetarian so I already lobe this kind of diet but my sisters not and I got her into liquid meals as well as the "green" smoothie movement. 

It's so worth it! 

If you're trying to be healthy or lose weight or if you just flat out love fucking smoothies then this is the time to get into it. Recipes out the window. All you need is some green stuff, some yellow stuff, some liquid to mix it and something to sweeten it. 

(flowers are just fun photo additives. I love them.)

(IRRESISTABLE) 

Today I made: 

Spinach

Pineapple

Strawberry

Blueberry

Milk

Cinnamon

8 ice cubes

Blend for 45 seconds!!!! 

I drizzled some basalmix glaze over mine because I live for that stuff and then spiced it with cinnamon for looks, and had to get some mason jars because they're just so darn cute. 

The blueberries made it brown, I swear! 

Red+blue+green=brown

#LOVEIT

New place, New thoughts

California sunset. 

So far I have been here for about 7 weeks. It's a total different life out here. There are some lonely times and most of the day I am laying around absorbing the dramatic shift in my lifestyle from working every single day to not having a job. 

I don't know what to do with myself!

Sooo I just take pictures. 

Anyone from San Diego and have suggestions on places to visit? 

Ocean Beach

Solano Beach

Solano Beach

OB again

Adobe Falls 

Sunset Cliffs

Somewhere by Mt. Soledad 

I'm open to anything! 

Hump Day Apple Pie #guiltless

Who loves a healthy pie? 

This bitch🙋

Cause you can have your pie and eat it too. 

Aka-I got that prefix of a graham cracker crust, chopped up some fresh apples and sprinkled them with cinnamon and Splenda (knock off lets be real here) and baked it up for about 45 minutes at 375°F. In the mean time, combined some rough ingredients of cool whip and cacao powder to make a chocolate tasting fluffy and not packed with fat and calories of a topping. 

I love baking. 

My roommates approve and say it's amazing and fully support my dream bakery. 

:) 

Happy hump day. 

(technically it's Thursday but imma let you finish) 

Hump it, eat it, throw it at someone, just make sure you enjoy it. 

Taco Tuesday : Dessert Version

Easily said.

Who doesn't like tacos, who doesn't like oreos.

Who doesn't like dessert?!?!

Combine the two and you have happiness!

These things were delicious.

 

Taco Tuesday Oreos

-One pack Golden Oreos

-Jelly beans, I used the red and the yellow ones.

-Coconut flakes

-green food coloring

-white sprinkles

Assembly is however you want to make it!

I dyed the cream a shade of brown by mixing yellow red and black food colors with the creme, then putting it back in.

Then I sprinkled the green coconut, topped with cut in half red jellys, and sliced the yellow into random shapes. Top with the white sprinkles for the "sour cream"!

What kind of tacos do you like?

Inception Muffins

Feelin pretty creative this week. Been on a health kick lately, going vegetarian and all, but my best friend is pregnant and in no way shape or form a vegetarian. Soo at the thought of loving her, I decided to make her these treats which I've named "inception muffins".

Basically, it's a cookie inside a muffin with another cookie inside of it.

They look freaking amazing.

Too bad I can't eat them.

But I've heard they are quite the catch 😉

SO EASY.

INGREDIENTS

-1 bag of chocolate chip chocolate muffin mix

-1 pack of soft chewy chocolate chip cookies, with the fudge or caramel inside 

(I just did a combination of the two. one on top, the other on bottom)

STEPS

1.) Preheat your oven. This is common sense. I really hate when people put this on their blog instructions.

2.) Make the muffin mix. Duh.

3.) Start by putting one of the cookies on the bottom of a muffin tray.

Layer it with a little bit of the muffin mix.

Then add another cookie.

Top it with more muffin mix.

Bake it, enjoy!

Make them for friends, make them for a potluck, eat them alone in your sparetime because they're delicious and you don't want to share.

Muffins make me happy. :)

Painted Shoes

I started painting shoes. I think I did a good job at it. Hopefully one day my life will turn into my passion as a career and I will be able to sell things like these. If anyone is interested, contact me at LeahYoung43@gmail.com~

I really enjoy doing this.

It started as making them for myself for fun, then I started getting requests from people at work, and so far I've made 6 different pairs including a cool pair for my boyfriend!
