Beauty & her Budget

I love Argentinian Alfajores! These shortbread cookies melt in your mouth and are as beautiful as they are delicious! I also really love fall and all things pumpkin spice. So I thought, why not combine the two? SO I introduce you to Pumpkin Spiced Alfajores . This recipe is adapted from a recipe from En Casa Contigo , it is simple but does take some time and preparation. The ingredients are not all daily household baking ingredients and you will likely need to make a trip to the store for these! The key to making the cookies crumbly and soft is the Wheat Flour & Cornstarch. I tried this recipe with regular flour and "Whole wheat" flour at first, but then I finally found the right flour and it made the world of a difference.  Prep Time: 35 minutes Chilling Time: 30 minutes Baking Time: 8-10 minutes Ingredients: • 1 cup - Wheat flour • 1 cup - Corn Starch • 1 teaspoon - Baking powder • 1/4 teaspoon - Baking soda • 1/2 cup - Unsalted butter at room temperature • 1/2 cup + 1

These Fall flavored popcorn snacks were the perfect compliment to a Fall birthday party 🍿🥳🎉 . . This past weekend we celebrated my cousin (basically sister💞) with a lot of laughter & a lot of GOOD food!! We played dominoes, caught up on life, and talked about the upcoming holiday season ! 🦃😬 . . We also got to enjoy these super yummy fall flavored popcorns by Sweet Chaos!! They were delicious, crunchy, and tasted really fresh! My favorites were Vanilla Chai & *no surprise* Pumpkin Spice!! 🍁 . .  If you’re anything like my family you’re probably reading the labels and thinking WOW, that’s a lot of sweetness 😳 honestly, I was not sure what to expect before trying these. With flavors like Candy Corn & Maple Brown Sugar, I thought these could easily be overwhelmingly sweet. But they were not!! I mean they are Sweeeet, but it’s definitely not overly sugary and you can eat a good handful without getting sick of it. 😋  . . These were a definite hit for me and my family an
