Nutella Stuffed Brown Butter & Fleur de Sel Chocolate Chip Cookies

As soon as I spotted this recipe I tweeted, I pinned and I think I knew all along this cookie would change my life.  We were meant to be, you know?  There is no way to properly describe these tasty morsels other than to say they could very well be the best chocolate chip cookies in the entire universe.  Brown butter nuttiness, Fleur de Sel saltiness, and the end all, be all NUTELLA!!!!  I mean really what else is there to say??  

Life Lately...

I needed a little blogging break. It's good to be back. Here are a few snaps of life lately according to my iPhone...

Chicken & Cheese Enchiladas

My first attempt at preparing chicken enchiladas a few years back was not a successful one.  I was left with a really messy kitchen and enchiladas that were definitely not worth all the trouble.  I vowed to give enchilada making another go.  This time with a much easier and tastier recipe.  In order to save time I bought  roasted chicken breast from the supermarket.  Also, the recipe calls for flour tortillas, but I went with the traditional corn tortillas.  Prep was a breeze and the results were beyond tasty. 

Eye Candy of The Week

{can you even deal with JLo's hot leather dress and killer Tom Ford heels?!}

This week went by pretty quickly.  No complaints here!  The weather is begining to shift into fall mode and I can't wait to start updating my wardrobe accordingly.  Check out some of my favorite looks of the week...

Here's a little peek into our DC trip this past Aug.

Mixed Berry & Banana Baked Oatmeal

I find myself in such a rush every morning since school has started. The traffic is a little heavier making my commute to work a little longer. I still want to start off my day on the right track with a satisfying, healthy breakfast. This baked oatmeal helps me do just that. I altered the original recipe just slightly. Mixed frozen berries took the place of blueberries and when roasting the bananas I sprinkled some light brown sugar instead of honey. I also used this premixed muesli and it came out perfectly. The house smelled like a little piece of heaven as this baked in the oven. Ripe bananas, blueberries, raspberries, cinnamon, honey and brown sugar... need I say more? Make a batch on Sunday and you should be good for the rest of the week.

Eleven

{via}

Eleven years ago on this day, as I was heading out of my house I remember thinking to myself 'what a beautiful day'. It almost felt as though the sun was shining a little extra bright. My bus ride to school was a shocking one to say the least. In full view of all the bus passengers was the image of the first tower being struck across the Hudson. We could not and did not want to believe our eyes. From that moment our lives as a nation have changed forever. My thoughts and prayers go out to all those who lost a loved one on this day eleven years ago.

The Heather Grey Tee

Oh heather grey tee how I love thee. The hubbs thinks you look like a dingy old tee shirt, but he doesn't understand. From jeans and trousers to skirts and shorts you always come through. I'll always appreciate you for your simplicity, comfort, and ability to work with anything. Heather grey tee I truly love thee.

Lately anything with a Peter Pan collar calls my name - dresses, shirts, necklaces you name it. I couldn't say no to this blouse when I saw it online. I plan on tucking it into an old pair of wool J. Crew trousers as the weather gets a little cooler.
