Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes

Like any other day, I was craving a baked potato. Since the boyfriend loveees sweet potatoes and I love regular baked potatoes, we usually seem to only have the sweet ones in the house (funny how that happens huh ladies?). So I got to thinking..... twice baked sweet potatoes.
 
 
Ingredients: (I used this much only making one sweet potato, feel free to double, triple or however many -oople for however many potatoes you will make.)
 

  • 1 sweet potato
  • 1 Tsp. coconut oil
  • 1 1/2 Tsp. brown sugar
  • a few dashes cinnamon sugar
  • 2 handfuls of marshmallows
 
Oh Hey, welcome back to our kitchen :D
 
 
 
 
Stab your sweet potato several times.
 
 
My favorite thing about the microwave? "Baked" potato button ;)
Make sure to flip your potato half way to cook evenly.
 
 
Gather your ingredients.
 
 
 
Add your coconut oil and brown sugar to your mixing bowl.
 
 
Slice open your cooked potato.
 
 
Scoop out the goodies and place them in your mixing bowl.
 
 
Mix up the potato, sugar and oil.
 
 
 
Spoon the mixture back into the potatoes.
 
 
Bust out the marshmallows. Can't forget to share with the biggest marshmallow fan out there.
 
 
He loves them.
 
 
Scatter your mellows on top of the potato mixture.
 
 
Pop them in the oven: 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until the marshmallows are toasty.
 
 
MMmMMm enjoy the smell of fall in your home
(a little treat for living in south Florida in July)
 
 
Take them out, sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top and let them cool (or try to).
 
 
 
 
Enjoy. 

 
 
 
 
 
Look at that gooiness.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Oh P.S. look at my Royal Empress Tree taking on life <3

My Summer Hydrangea Wreath

YAY so this is my first (but not last) wreath.
I picked up all the supplies from Walmart (although I hate that store) for no more than $7 and took me no more than 15 minutes to make!
I picked off the flowers from the bunch they came on and stuck them between the sticks on the wreath.
I love how it turned out!




Please excuse the boyfriend's shoes :)
Thanks for checking it out!
Stay tuned for my landscaping process that will be coming slowly but surely.

Coconut Hair Treatment

 
I just picked this stuff the other day from Walgreens and I can't get enough of it!
The smell is amazing and makes my hands feel super soft.
I decided to jump on the bandwagon and try it on my locks.
I kept my hair in a ponytail from work.
 
 
I added a little bit at a time, working the oil into the ends of my hair and up to my hair tie.
 
 
Wrap it up in a bun and leave it for a few hours. Time to do some homework :)
 
 
 
 
I washed the oil out after a few hours and let it air dry as I went to bed. I styled it in the morning and it was silky and soft :) This will for sure be a weekly ritual.
