What a glorious week! Although it was an exhausting week because of the election, the weather could not have been better for northern Indiana. 60s and 70s, sunny and delightful and it’s going to last right until next Tuesday! When I was not outside, I was inside decking our halls like crazy and it is looking gorgeous! I cannot wait to share it with you. For now, Let’s get right to Friday Favorites!
1. The YETI Bartender is BAAACK
CARAMEL APPLE MIMOSAS
It’s back! I brought back the Yeti Bartender to showcase my new favorite Fall cocktail! This would be perfect for the holidays and I’ve already made it several times! When we went to lower Michigan a few weekends ago, I had a Caramel Apple Mimosa and I knew right away that I would want to re-create it! Go over to the Yeti Bartender & My Channel and check it out and let me know what you think!
2. MOM's Birthday Yesterday
Many of you may have seen that my sweet mama had a birthday yesterday on Instagram stories! And while we couldn’t really go out and do anything, we were blessed with the gorgeous weather. I made her one of the above-mentioned caramel apple mimosas, a lovely salad some naan bread with brie cheese and bacon jam and lemon mousse for dessert. I’m including the recipe below. Then, we went and walked 5 miles on our local pumpkinvine trail, and I got to shower her with sweet gifts but there could never be enough gifts to thank her for being the best mom in the whole wide world! I am very blessed!
Lemon Mousse with Shortbread
Ingredients
1 cup whipping cream

With a mixer on medium speed, mix together whipping cream and powdered sugar. Move mixer to high speed until soft peaks form. Fold in Lemon Curd. Crush some shortbread cookies and place in the bottom of 4 desert dishes. Top with Lemon Mousse and desired garnishes!
