✨DUTCH BABY
This is a favorite for us! It’s not the healthiest breakfast in our rotation but it’s so delicious and can be easily tweaked with SO many options for toppings! For this one, I made a quick sautéed cinnamon apple topping to go with a little melted butter, honey, and confectioners sugar!

RECIPE:
6 eggs
1 C (any) milk
1 C flour
1 tblsp extract (vanilla, almond, orange)
2 tblsp butter (in the pan)
1 tblsp butter to brush on top

• Preheat your oven to 425
• Melt butter into cast iron skillet on the stove
• Mix all ingredients into a bowl & blend in your blender until smooth and a tad frothy
• Pour into the skillet & transfer immediately into the oven
• Bake 15-20 mins (you’ll see it almost reach the top of the inside of your stove!)
• Remove from the oven & brush with butter
• Top with favorite toppings

I gently cut mine in the cast iron with a pizza roller!

✨ BUZZ LIGHTYEAR PAINT SETS - Don’t ask me if

✨ BUZZ LIGHTYEAR PAINT SETS - Don’t ask me if I filled those paint wells myself 😂😂😂 I’ll deny, deny, deny. These turned out SO super cute and we’re the perfect activity! One of Deck’s favorite things to do is paint (my little artist) so, I wanted to make sure whatever activity we did, it was something that he loves!

✨WOODY KIDS FOOD TABLE One of my favorite things

✨WOODY KIDS FOOD TABLE One of my favorite things to decorate at the boys’ parties: kids tables! They’re so easy to level up & take a paper plate to a full on, themed place setting with just a few extras! I love how perfectly Woody these were without a single character print…and peep that inexpensive, day-of arrangement in the Woody boot! James grabbed a bunch of babies breath and some sunflowers to stuff these boots and give height to the tables! From the Woody hat cups to the wooden “snake in my boot” and the holster utensil keeper, which piece is your fav?!

✨YUMM! RASPBERRY FILLED CUPCAKES using the Raspb

✨YUMM! RASPBERRY FILLED CUPCAKES using the Raspberry Elegance Cake filling from Publix! YES! You can absolutely buy their filling AND buttercream! Pop into the bakery and ask to buy a tube of raspberry and a box (or more if you need) of buttercream! (Order your buttercream in advance if you want a color!)

This is a money saving party hack my mom and I have used to years! We’ve done a few naked cakes filled with raspberry filling and topped with a light scrape buttercream for birthdays and showers over the years and it’s always a hit! (Freeze your leftover raspberry filling for the next party! I usually get 2 or 3 parties worth of desserts from one tube!)

These were absolutely delicious!

✨ OBSESSED with these cowboy hat cups! They were

✨ OBSESSED with these cowboy hat cups! They were the MOST perfect touch for Deck’s Toy Story Party! This has to be one of my top 3 favorite details from his party! Not only are they serving the purpose as a cup but they’re also a take home favor for the kids! Anytime I can purpose one thing into two for a party, I’m sold! (ESPECIALLY when it levels up and raises the height of the kids’ tables 🙌🏻) Linking everything in my LTK & Toy Story Party highlight!

I can’t even believe he’s THREE! #ad We celebrated our guy with a birthday party decorated with his current favorite: Toy Story! When I was little, I would circle things I wanted for my own party themes in @orientaltrading catalogs year after year! I may not be circling products in the catalogs anymore but, I definitely rely on #OrientalTrading for every single one of the boys’ parties! From tableware to decor and the CUTEST favors, all for a price families can afford, I always have a big box with a bright pink flamingo delivered on our doorstep, several times out of the year!

I wanted to do a blend of things that represented Deck’s two favorite guys, Buzz & Woody! I themed the color schemes that would mesh the two together without over-theming the characters!

Star & Pastel Purple Plates for Buzz
Paint Your Own Spaceship Wooden Rockets
Holster Utensil Holders
Cowboy Hat Cups

The boys always love when we use fruit as a bowl!

The boys always love when we use fruit as a bowl! If you can’t find papayas right now, try a pineapple - & as we get closer to summer, we opt for coconuts too! This is such an easy way to level up a meal & get kids excited to try new things!

✨ EASY 4 ingredient, 3 hour rise bread for your

✨ EASY 4 ingredient, 3 hour rise bread for your DUTCH OVEN!

I mix and rose three of these at a time to last us through the week! The boys love them & they’re so incredibly easy, especially for intimidated beginners!!

Ingredients:
• 3 cups Flour (bread or all purpose)
• 2 tsp Active Yeast
• 2 tsp Salt
• 1 1/2 cup warm water

(Linked the $49.99 Dutch Oven in my “Bread” highlight!)

• Put your flour into a big bowl
• Add yeast to the center
• Add salt
• Add your warm water
• Fold all ingredients together in the bowl
• Let sit covered with a tea towel for 3+ hours
• Preheat your oven to 450 with your dutch oven inside (lid on) for 30 mins
• Once your oven is preheated, lightly dust and fold your dough a couple times, & pop your dough into the Dutch oven for 30 mins!
• Let it cool for a bit before slicing!

*For electric ovens, I’d recommend leaving your bread in a tad longer (10-15 mins and taking the lid off of your Dutch oven for the last 15-20!)

That’s it!! You’ll have fresh bread in no time!
DIY butter that’s AMAZING on your bread, coming soon ✨
