Happy Friday, loves! Hope you had an amazing week, mine has been jam packed with plenty of emotions, work and events. A lot of changes will be taking place in my life within the coming weeks, fingers crossed that the changes make a positive impact and everything turns out for the best. Here is a peek at some of my favorite moments from this week.

there is about five minutes of ballet, so if you\’re looking for traditional Nutcracker this is not it at all.

Nutcracker Mouse King

On Friday, Disney released The Nutcracker and the Four Realms – as someone who loves the Nutcracker I was beyond excited for this release, and couldn’t help but make something in honor of the Nutcracker’s main antagonist the Mouse King. These little Mouse King cheesey crackers are ridiculously easy to make, and look absolutely adorable.

Ingredients
Round crackers
Babybel cheese wedges (any white flavor)
Cheddar cheese
Peppercorns
Red bell pepper
Almond slices
Chives or green onion

1. Open cheese and place it on a cracker.

 2. Add two almonds for the ears.

 3. Add the cheddar cheese crown.

4. Add the peppercorn eyes.
5. Add the red bell pepper nose.

 6. Insert the green onion whiskers.

Seriously how cute are these?

Squeaky Pops

 I received Squeaky Pops to review – all thoughts and opinions are my own.
As someone who has a sit down job, I typically find myself wanting to snack on anything and everything while I am at work. Sure I bring apples, string cheese or nuts with me so I can keep it healthy, but sometimes I just want chips. I recently had the opportunity to try Squeaky Pops. Squeaky Pops are chickpea chips that are non-gmo, gluten free and made with real ingredients. Did I mention they are less than 90 calories per single serve bag, oh and they’re AMAZING. Honestly I was skeptical about apple cinnamon chickpea chips, but to my surprise they actually taste like apple cinnamon and have no chickpea flavor to them at all, which is nice. Not only are these chips great for adults they’re healthy enough for children as well. You can find Squeaky Pops on their website or Amazon as a pack of 12. Squeaky Pops are not sold in any grocery stores. If you are looking for a snack for you or your children I highly recommend the Apple Cinnamon Squeaky Pops – I take them on road trips with me, and you can always find them in my gym bag. What’s your favorite healthy snack?

Donut Sundae

Can you believe it’s already November, and we fell back an hour? Yikes, I can’t either. With winter right around the corner I am trying to savor what is left of fall color and trips to the cider mill. This weekend I was at Yates Cider Mill (my favorite, I highly recommend going if you’ve never been before), and saw that they have donut sundaes. It was 9 a.m., and I wasn’t about to start my day with ice cream, so I didn’t get it. That evening I was at my parents watching Hallmark Christmas movies, and was craving something sweet so I decided to make us our own donut sundaes. We used a cinnamon and sugar donut from Yates, topped it with Hudsonville Creamery Blend Vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of Sanders caramel, dash of cinnamon and a cinnamon stick for decoration. The best part, all of the products were made in Michigan!
