The New House

My friend (let's call her Kate) and her hubby were going to buy their first house.

Their realtor told them to write down exactly what kind of house they wanted, with the most important type at the top of the list.

Kate's #1 choice:
A 1,000-square-foot older ranch with character.

Kate's hubby's #1 choice:
A 2,500-square-foot newer two-story Colonial in a new development of a subdivision.

Kate realized that her hubby was the breadwinner and that this new home meant "success" for him.  This new house said that "He made it."

Kate gave no fuss, no fight. She said "yes" to her hubby's dream home because she knew what it meant to him.


This Week:

What is most important to your hubby that you can say "yes" to?

What Does Your Nightie Look Like?

The kiddos are tucked in bed.

You get ready to snuggle up with your hubby on the couch or in bed for the night.

What are you wearing?

What would your hubby like to see?

If you don't know, ask him.

Better yet, snuggle up with a Victoria's Secret catalogue and a pen and ask your hubby what he likes.


Question:

Yes, there are nights when sweats and a t-shirt are a must, but what does hubby really want to see you in?

Chocolate Almond Cupcakes

HubbyHubby loves chocolate. I made these chocolate almond cupcakes for an after-dinner treat.

Here's what you'll need:
2 large eggs
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon almond extract
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2-1/2 cups almond flour
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Here's what to do:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
In a standing mixer, mix all ingredients above.
Scoop batter into muffin cups half to three-quarters of the way full.
Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Serve with a tall glass of raw milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Enjoy and be in health.
