Friday Favorites: Volume 41

Favorite Things· Life

Between an Amazon exercise dress (that reminds me a lot of the Free People Hot Shot Mini Dress), finally getting my nails done in a hot sauce red, toddler muffins, and a hyperfixation breakfast– this Friday Favorites is all over the place (but did you expect anything less?)

Emmy Have You Seen Oscar? by OPI

It has been SO long since I got a manicure. I used to get SNS or gel every 3 weeks religiously and since I had Theo almost 2 years ago, I think I’ve gotten my nails done 3 times.

I wanted a red color that was a little bit orange-y and reminded my of hot sauce. Emmy Have You Met Oscar by OPI looks online like it wouldn’t have orange-hues (it looks like a darker deep red), but in person it’s more vibrant!

Amazon Exercise Dress (Similar to FP Movement Hot Shot Mini Dress)

I keep seeing people in the Free People Movement Hot Shot Mini Dress and thinking how cute it is! However, $60 for it was holding me back. I got this dress for under $30, and it is very similar! It doesnt have a zipper pocket on the back like the FP one, but I really like it and the color!

I wore it during our recent trip to the Grand Canyon, so I can confirm that you can be super active in it! I really liked it layered with a tank underneath and a sweatshirt on top. Got a ton of compliments on it too!

Cinnamon Apple Muffins for Theo

Not too long ago, I made these apple cinnamon donuts for Theo (recipe by feeding tiny bellies) and froze all the extra to make for an easy snack. They are seriously SO tasty– whenever I heat some up for Theo, I end up heating up an extra one for myself.

Not to mention they are so easy to make– we had a lot of fun baking them together!

Hyperfixation Breakfast

I recently shared to TikTok my hack for getting 40+ grams of protein for breakfast. It does involve one of my supplements that I talk about in this post, but it also heavily relies on my hyper-fixation breakfast for the past year. If you followed my 75 medium journey, you might remember that I ate a breakfast burrito pretty much daily. It’s still such a good way to get a lot of protein and its also delicious and super filling!

Currently Reading

I am almost too embarrassed to admit what I am reading currently. If you have a Kindle, you may be aware of “stuff your Kindle days”. You can find websites that list all of the free books you can download on one specific day.

A year or so ago, I downloaded 4-5 books for free on one of those days. I have read ONE and it was AWFUL. Like really AWFUL. I’m in a reading slump and decided to give one of them a try….. I am 10% through and it is…. so bad. Book is called Dark and I can already tell you I am not going to recommend it lol

That being said, if you have book recommendations, especially fun romance books (I love romantacy books!), send them my way or drop them in the comments! I need something to pull me out of my slump!

My husband and I were in NYC for a long weekend an My husband and I were in NYC for a long weekend and I knew I wasn’t going to be able to leave without trying the scallion pancake BEC at @winsonbakery 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️
📍Win Son Bakery (East Village)
We both got the BEC which had the CRISPIEST bacon, egg, and havarti cheese and it came with their ginger deluxe sauce. I NEED to figure out the recipe to recreate the sauce because it was amazing 🥲 
I also got their 5 spice latte which was so tasty and I loved that it wasn’t super sweet! #pregnancy #pregnancycraving #nyc
Guess who doesn’t have gestational diabetes? 🙂‍↕️ Guess who doesn’t have gestational diabetes? 🙂‍↕️
After having GD with my first pregnancy, I am SO relieved to not have to check blood sugars and be monitoring this time around— however, I’m still being mindful and conscious of my carbs, because I do think it’s better for me and baby (but I’m not being quite so restrictive now!!)

Breakfast: savory breakfast muffins (recipe on my page!)
Lunch: leftover sheet pan lasagna (recipe by @sara.haven) and raspberries
Snack: jalapeño chips, havarti, and dill pickles IYKYK
Dinner: fish, @brazi_bites, and roasted veggies
Bedtime snack: @fairlife chocolate milk always 🍫🥛

I recommend priming your sheets of plywood FIRST, then tracing your outline of the characters and then cutting them out! It makes it easier to see the image if you’re using a projector, and then it’s also easier to see your outline when you start painting!

DIY FELT BIRTHDAY CROWN 🎉🥳🥹 I made two of these th DIY FELT BIRTHDAY CROWN 🎉🥳🥹
I made two of these this year, one for my dad for his 80th (lol) and another for my toddler! I thought it was super a cute keepsake, and not very difficult, so I’m definitely going to keep making these for kid’s birthdays! 🥹 #birthdaycrown #keepsakegifts #birthdaytradition #slowliving #toddlermom
DIY “Terracotta” Pumpkins 🎃 I love the look of th DIY “Terracotta” Pumpkins 🎃 
I love the look of the terracotta pumpkins, but knew I could DIY it for less 😌
Just mix up some baking soda into paint until it forms a gritty paste and apply a couple of coats to a cheap plastic pumpkin. On your last coat while it’s still a LITTLE wet, sprinkle on some additional baking soda and dust it around with a paint brush. #falldecorations #diyhalloween #halloweendecorations

I’ve never been super intentional about decorating I’ve never been super intentional about decorating my bedroom but with baby number 2 on the way, I now recognize that I need a lovely space to rot in the newborn bubble 👶 today I’m tackling bed styling (we have a king sized bed for reference). I tried my best to keep it on a budget bc WHYYYY are pillows so expensive??? #bedroomstyle #pregnancy #roommakeover
I made these carb-balanced/blood sugar friendly/hi I made these carb-balanced/blood sugar friendly/high protein breakfast muffins often in my first pregnancy and honestly have enjoyed them well beyond pregnancy! They’re only 5 ingredients and give the bready texture I was missing when I had gestational diabetes. It’s kind of similar to a sausage ball! I normally eat 2-3 muffins for breakfast as each muffin has about 7 grams of carbs and 12 grams of protein!

5-INGREDIENT SAVORY BREAKFAST MUFFINS
* 1 pound of turkey sausage (or whatever type you like)
* 4 eggs
* 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
* 1 cup Kodiak cake baking mix
* 1/3 cup cottage cheese

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350℉ and spray a 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray
2. In a pan over medium heat, add the sausage and crumble while cooking. Cook until no longer pink. Remove from heat and allow to cool briefly.
3. In a bowl, crack the eggs and lightly beat. Add shredded cheese, kodiak mix, cooked sausage, and cottage cheese and mix well (mixture will be thick)
4. Fill the 12 prepared muffin cups evenly with the mixture.
5. Bake for about 22-25 minutes or until golden brown on top

Recipe Notes
If meal prepping for the week, store leftovers in a container in the fridge. You can heat by microwaving for about 1 minute. I prefer to reheat them by microwaving a couple for 15-30 seconds and then pop them in the air fryer at 350 for 3-5 minutes.
