“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.” – Jane Austen
Since Pride and Prejudice and Zombies just came out I though this week I would talk about my obsession with Pride and Prejudice.
Favorite Show: Friends
I am so excited and I can’t wait for the Friends reunion. My favorite characters are Monica and Chandler. I always thought they were the best couple.
Favorite Song: Can’t Help Falling in Love by Haley Reinhart
Favorite Book: Keep Calm and Bake Cupcakes
This is my favorite cookbook especially because the recipes make 9 to 12 cupcakes. It is great when you want to bake but don’t want too many extras.
Have a Good Weekend!
Love,
Katie ❤
My latest obsession is s’mores. I can’t get enough of them! I love s’mores cookies, pop tarts, any thing flavored like it is amazing in my book. To day was a cold rainy day and all I wanted to do was a snuggle in a blanket and watch movies.
Happy Friday!
Wednesday was one of my favorite days of the week because it was the first day of Autumn! Along with winter it is my favorite season. I love the cool weather and the fresh crisp air smell.
I love breaking out my sweaters and riding boots.
I love living close to the city. I live Long Island about an hour away. It is great because I can go for a day anytime of the year. Last weekend my friends and I went to Central Park. This was my first time there. It is crazy because I have lived here my whole life but I haven’t done tourist stuff. One day I want to be a tourist of my own city. Anyway, we took the train to Penn Station and the 2 Subway to Columbus Circle.
My friend Kasmika took this photo. She is amazing and is starting a blog. Everyone should read it when it goes live.
Happy Friday! I though I would expand the Friday Favorites to more topics then just baking. Last weekend my family and I went to D.C for vacation. We left Friday and took a walking tour of the National Mall, which was free. I found online a company call free tour by foot. It was a 2-hour tour with a tour guide. We lucked out because there were only 20 people in our group. The tour guide was awesome and knew a lot of the history behind the monuments. Here are some photos.

Sorry it has been so long. I just started summer classes and it has been a whirlwind.
This is my first Friday’s Favorite that may end up being uploaded on Saturday.
Anyway in my spa
re time I like love watching YouTube videos. One of my favorite daily vlogers is the SacconeJolys. The wife Anna is always baking and her cupcakes look delicious. I was dying to know what cookbook she was using. To my knowledge she has never stated it but in one vlog I was able to read the corner. It says Keep Calm and Bake Cupcakes. As soon as I could I ordered it from Amazon.
When I first got it I was skeptical because I am devoted to Martha Stewart recipes. I tried one recipe and feel in love. My favorite part is it only makes a few cupcakes. So far I the fewest is 6 and the most is 12. It is great because when I am baking for just my family I don’t need 24 cupcakes. All these recipes make just the right perfect amount. The cookbook is broken down in to categories that make it easy to find the perfect cupcake.
The recipes are simple and easy to follow. I have tried making Chocolate Sunday Cupcakes and Chocolate Banana Muffins. My family and friends loved them.
The downside is the weird measurements because of the smaller yield and the use of superfine sugar. I have not been able to find any in the supermarket. Instead I put regular sugar in my food processor and grind it until fine. Otherwise, it is an amazing cookbook and I can’t wait to try more!
