DIY Thursday: Autumn Subway Art (free printable)

I see people always having these cute subway art things.  I made one out of vinyl that turned out super cute but that doesn't really work for those who don't have vinyl cutters....so when I found this I was excited.  For a scrapbook challenge we were given a template and told do change it up and do whatever we wanted.  I love the colors of Leaving a Legacy's Happy Fall Ya'll" kit.  It has become one of my favorites.  I love the turquoise in it. Here is my version. Lucky for you I am giving you the link to download your own!  Yay!! There are 2 sizes for you, 8x11 and 5x7.  I hope you enjoy!!!

Wildcard Wednesday: Starburst Candy Corn

 Just a quick review on this fun Halloween inspired candy. I was at Walmart the other day looking for pumpkin Hershey kisses, which I could not find. :( And saw these bad boys.
Being me, a lover of all things candy corn (my favorite is the pumpkin shaped ones) I could not pass up buying a bag. They cost me just under $2 and all in all it was not a bad investment. First of all they taste a lot like Starburst, my husband liked them a lot even though he is not a big fan of candy corn. And secondly they had the classic candy corn texture, which I was a big fan of. I am a huge texture person, its why i don't like fresh tomatoes.
ANYWAY... if you are looking for a fun colored, yummy new candy to try this holiday season give these a try. I think you will like them. :)

Sweet Tooth Tuesday: Strawberry lemonade brownies

Do you like Strawberry Lemonade?  These brownies are that...in food form!!  They are super yummy!  They were a nice break from the chocolate recipes I usually do.  Instead of the lemon glaze, I got some of my homemade freezer strawberry jam and poured it over top.  It was fabulous!!
Ingredients
½
cup unsalted butter, softened
¾
cup flour
2
eggs, large
2
tbsp lemon zest
2
tbsp lemon juice
¾
cup granulated sugar
¼
teaspoon sea salt
For the tart lemon glaze (I didn't do the glaze, but if you want it, here's the recipe):
4
tbsp lemon juice
8
tsp lemon zest
1
cup icing sugar
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
 Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish with butter and set aside. Zest and juice two lemons and set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixture fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the flour, sugar, salt, and softened butter until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice until combined. Pour it into the flour mixture and beat for 2 mins at medium speed until smooth and creamy.  Pour into baking dish and bake for 23-25 mins, should turn golden around the edges. Allow to cool completely before glazing. Do not overbake, or the bars will dry.. Filter the powdered sugar and whisk with lemon zest and juice.  Spread the glaze over the brownies with a rubber spatula and let glaze set. Cut into bars and serve.
