One trend that I've always loved, but haven't exactly utilized until now, is the boho headband. I can't explain to you how much I love hippie style. Headbands, turbans, tops, cut-offs, beading... It has always inspired me! I want to incorporate it into my wedding. I love long cascading hair, silky blouses, billowy silhouettes, sheer elements, floral designs, simplicity with flare. I'm in love with the idea! It's definitely hard to incorporate it into my look all the time, sometimes I like classic items, or popular trends that aren't "hippie-boho-hipster" come about, but I often try to mix it in if I can!

Here are a few "pin-spiration" boho looks that I'm obsessing over. Now if only I could find the seeds to my money tree...

In other news... I've mentioned it before and I'm not ashamed to talk about it again... the chocolate meringue cookie from Starbucks is one of THE BEST gluten free treats (under 2 dollars) that I have ever tasted in my life. Melt in your mouth chocolate chips with a light crust that breaks over the top after coming out of the oven. Oh my yum. It is so good! The bad news? Starbucks announced it's discontinuing it. Yep, they're taking away my cookie dream! Thanks a lot, Starbucks! I'm one of your biggest fans! How could you do this to me!? (Tear.)
So if I walk into a Starbucks, and I see this poor little abandoned cookie sitting behind a glass counter, showing it's little "adopt me" puppy eyes... I snatch it up! I eat it and love it and give it a good little cozy home in my hungry, gluten intolerant belly.

I hope all of you had a Merry, Merry Christmas! I can't believe it's already over, can you? It goes by so fast. Unfortuneately I woke up a couple mornings ago with a horrible cold. Ugh, it's that time of year isn't it!? 

Even so, I thought I'd do a recap post... better late than never. So to keep it short and sweet, here are a few pictures from my oh-so-happy holiday!


Also, this year I got a new gluten free cookbook (photo above) from my parents! I am so excited to crack the spine and break in this bad boy. I've already tried one recipe when I needed a yummy dessert for a Christmas party at our house, and it was a huge success. I am addicted to this little treat. It is a gift from chocolate and peanut butter heaven. Here's the recipe, for dessert lovers and gluten haters alike...


 Chocolate Oatmeal Peanut Squares

 WHAT YOU NEED:
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
1/2 cup unsweetned cocoa powder
1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
1 teaspon vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups gluten free quick oats

WHAT YOU DO:
Butter an 8-inch square baking pan.

In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, milk, butter, and cocoa. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla until blended. Stir in the oats and pour into the prepared pan. Let cool, then refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours, or until chocolate sets. Cut into bars and serve.

I can promise you, once you take a bite of these decadent bars you will be craving more and more! You can order the Gluten Free Every Day Cookbook here!  What's your favorite wheat-free recipe?
