Spring Break

9:00 on Sunday night and I am tucked away in bed, wearing some of my oldest J. Crew pajamas, and eating a Sprinkles cupcake. I don't care what anyone else thinks, I fully believe that I live a perfectly glamourous life. I just finished a weekend filled with laughs, love, too much food, dancing, photo booths, cupcakes, and memories. It's weekends like these that I wish there were just a few more hours tacked on to Saturday and Sunday so I could keep this perfect weekend alive for a little bit longer.

If you are reading this, that means it is Monday morning. You might be at work, at home on the couch, or enjoying a week off from school during Spring Break. This is the first year that I haven't had the liberty of enjoying a nice, week-long break during the spring but that doesn't mean I can't pretend. I have been spending way too much time browsing the Swimsuit category of my favorite online shops, perusing beach vacation spots on Travel + Leisure, and using the two weekends on either side of Spring Break as my mini vacation days. This week I was able to enjoy time in Dallas and employed my favorite motto while there, "I can eat whatever I want, I'm on vacation". This coming weekend I will be taking a three-day trip to Charleston, SC with my family where my motto will be in full force again!

No matter what you are doing this week, enjoy these links to get you through the dreaded Monday and be sure to check back tomorrow for a very exciting post!

Baked Cinnamon Vanilla Donuts (With Glaze and Sprinkles)

There is really nothing better than donuts on a Saturday morning, or a weekend morning, or any morning for that matter. We have all been eating them since we were kids and they definitely bring back fond memories of early morning trips to the local Daylight Donut with my dad and sisters. It also reminds me of Sunday mornings at church, skipping class in high school to go to Krispy Kream, and a month ago when I shamelessly ate 3 donuts and more than a dozen donut holes in one sitting. Everyone has there own memories of donuts and I can't imagine that any of them are bad.

I woke up this past Saturday morning so full of energy and happiness that I knew a typical greek yogurt breakfast was just not going to cut it. I wanted donuts covered in a sweet glaze and cinnamon sugar and colored sprinkles that turn my teeth the color of a rainbow. The only problem is that I don't have a donut pan... no worries there, that is what Google is for! Just type in "DIY donut pan" and up pops this recipe and DIY. This blogger not only gives you the recipe but a pretty easy way to make your own pan out of foil.

My coffee and "donuts"

These donuts don't have quite the same consistency as your classic donut shop, and I might even prefer to call them breakfast cake. Regardless, they are wonderful and scrumptious and perfect for a lazy Saturday morning of reading and watching the Pioneer Woman. 

Wishing I had a donut now.

Crave

You know those cravings that come over you, out of the blue, and no matter what you eat nothing will satisfy except the ONE thing that you really want and can't have?

Say hello to Sprinkles Cupcakes and my most recent, obsessive craving. I saw one random picture of these famous cupcakes today and I can't stop thinking about how badly I want one... or ten.

The Dallas location is only three hours away and if gas was not so dang expensive I would be embarking on a road trip as we speak.

My favorite rivalry cupcake toppers that come out for one weekend a year in the Dallas location.

Boomer Sooner!

Today is Friday, which means that I will have a Black and White, Cinnamon Sugar, Lemon Coconut, Pumpkin, Strawberry, and Vanilla Milk Chocolate. Thank you!

Where in the world is this Sprinkles Truck? 

Until next time.

Crave the cupcake.
