Doesn’t the title of this morning’s post sound delightful?
So, did anyone else have a rough night of sleep? I tossed and turned all night long, so I ended up skipping my morning workout. I hate that when it happens, but I definitely needed the extra sleep. I’ve been a zombie for the past few days!
Breakfast

Today’s breakfast was a bowl of Stonyfield Oikos Greek yogurt mixed with banana slices and Peanut Butter Bumpers.
The Peanut Butter Bumpers are so GOOD! I still prefer Peanut Butter Puffins, but the Bumpers give them a run for their money!
As usual, I drank homemade iced coffee with breakfast.
New Treat
Last night, I recreated my Silken Vanilla Cake recipe, but added 1 tbsp of molasses and poured the batter into a cupcake pan instead of a flat one, which turned out SO delicious! The molasses tasted incredible mixed with the strong vanilla flavor. These babies almost taste like blondie cupcakes!
I didn’t eat this treat for breakfast this morning, but I did eat a couple of them last night for dessert.

The cupcakes look amazing! Okay, I’m sold on this stuff, I need to try it asap.
I would definitely like to travel to Fiji at some point in my life. It sounds so exotic and breathtaking.
Hopefully someday!
Have an amazing Tuesday girl!
My next vacation would be to Italy! I would go to Florence, Rome, and Venice…tasting pizza, gelato, bread, wine all the way. haha
That cupcake looks so delicious and so moist–I am going to look for those silken creations at my grocery store. I want to bake tonight now!
My next vacation would be to Europe. I’ve been wanting to go there forever!
The Mediterranean!

ok, you’ve convinced me on those silken creations. everything you’ve made looks SO good!
if cost wasn’t an issue, where wouldn’t my vacation be? haha. i would love to go to argentina, thailand, or india. my list is long!
My next vacation woul either be a trip to the South Pacific Islands or an African safari.
Ok, I need to make those cupcakes!
Greece for sure!! Well – if cost was no option, I’d say a tour of the entire Western coast of Europe…ahhhh bliss
I’m having a hard time choosing just one vacation location! I would love to go back to Maui or try someplace new like Fuji or Tuscany!
If money was no object I would go to Thailand and stay in one of those platform cabanas
Definitely a trip to Europe, perhaps a month or two doing the backpacking thing.
The blondies look super delish!
Santorini, Greece. Most perfect island on earth! Those blondie cupcakes look super yummy!
Fusing BLONDIES (!!!) and cupcakes together = heavenly.
**Next vacation = Scotland.
Italy!
I did a blog post on this recently. Bon appetit is doing a culinary tour of South Africa in October. Its around $9k per person without airfare, so its not quite doable but looks AMAZING!
I LOVE the silken chocolate. I will have to try the vanilla next.
blondie cupcakes?? Yes please!!! I may have to break out the muffin tin to make those!
Next vacation: pacific northwest to see my dad (and andrea and sarah!), then Utica new york for a wedding, then my honeymoon!
Next vacation would be to Fiji. All I want to do is swim under the waterfalls and enjoy the nature.
If money was no issue, I would go back to New Zealand for a few weeks, then up to Australia (Sydney, mum-in-law’s stomping ground). Ahhh…
omg i had terrible sleep yesterday and in result did not go to the gym before work like i do almost daily,but theres always later or tommorow
I would absolutely love to go to India! I would go on a spiritual journey and learn to meditate and see the country! I will get there one day : )
I would definitely go to Greece and Spain with a quick stop over in Paris for some shopping and a few days in Sardinia for old times sake. It would be wonderful!
It would be a world tour if cost was not an issue, but certainly include Australia, Figi, Tahiti! I couldn’t leave out time in Tuscany – it’s a foodie paradise!
cupcakes look delish! speaking of baking, don’t forget to enter our immaculate baking coupon giveaway contest! yum yum!
Definitely China – and I’m going there in January! Super excited about it. Have a great day!
I think I need to try the pb puffins soon.
I would totally go to Europe for at least a month and just travel everywhere there that we want to go: France, England, Spain, Italy, etc.
Haha! I’m addicted to Peanut Butter Bumpers. I bought them for my 2 year old niece and ended up eating more of the box than she did! But I agree – the puffins still win out.
If I could go anywhere I’d definitely choose GREECE! I’m a Greek girl that’s never been!! Hopefully someday…
Tahiti. Definitely Tahiti. I interned at a travel PR agency years ago and became obsessed with it! Maybe my honeymoon!
I had a rough night sleep too! I was up for an hour coughing! So annoying! I’ve always wanted to go to Hawaii, Australia, and Africa!
cupcakes look fantastic! Next trip would be Europe! The Mister and I plan on going for our 5 year anniversary (which is only 2 years away!)
I’d probably go to Italy and while there, why not hop over to Greece! That would be amazing!!
Your blondie cupcakes look great!!
ugh, i hate not being able to sleep! a few people commented on tips on one of my latest posts if you wanna see some ideas?
An Around the World trip, I would love to take a year off and just travel the world. I have been luck enough to have been to some amazing places in the past few years and just spent 2 weeks in Italy for my wedding/honeymoon.
I’ve been a zombie too. All that weekend partying is catching up…
We’d love to go abroad – for sure. We’ve never been overseas together, and I know we both really want to see Germany.
I’d love to travel Hawaii since I’ve never been.
Spain would be FUN!! So would Australia.
It would definitely be a month or more traveling around Europe. I just can’t get enough of all the beauty and history!
We’ve been to Australia and New Zealand and fell in love! I would definitely go back and hit up any of the South Pacific islands on our way home.
Those cupcakes look so moist! I actually like the Bumpers better than the Puffins!! Shocker, I know
I would go to Italy again in a heartbeat!
If cost wasn’t an issue, I think I would go just about anywhere. But more importantly, I would stay gone LONGER
I would love to visit Thailand!
That’s so hard! I would definitely want to go to Europe but I’d have to hire a bodyguard or my Dad would kidnap me and refuse to let me go. He’s so paranoid after watching Taken, haha. I want to go to Greece so bad! But I also want to go to Africa, so I think I’d take 6 months and do both – oh, and Australia! Haha, I guess I just want to go everywhere.
India, Hong Kong, Australia, etc. etc.
Ooh that cupcake looks so good. I made blondies for the weekend festivities, and I had to freeze the leftovers. I couldn’t keep my hand out of the cookie jar!
My next vacation would probably be to New Zealand. I have been to Europe a number of times (although… I’ve never been to Greece and that would be awesome!!), but New Zealand is in a part of the world I have never visited at all. I’m all about going somewhere totally new to me.
I have always wanted to go to Africa – I think because the landscape and culture is so drastically different from ours, and thus so fascinating! – or Greece to see my husband’s homeland!
I had a terrible sleep last night too! I was tossing and turning until 1 AM and then I finally just got up and did some work. I didn’t fall asleep until 3 AM. Nice to know I wasn’t the only one!
My next vacation would be South East Asia and hit alll the hot spots – China, Japan, Thailand, South Korea, everything!
Italy and Greece. I’ve been to Italy before and LOVED it. I want to go again and add Greece to the mix:) I rarely sleep well, it is frustrating. I hope you get better zzz’s tonight. Have you ever made your own yogurt? I am going to try it this week.
That cupcake looks amazing!
I would love to go to Greece or Ireland. It would be tough to decide between the two!
Italy or Jamaica!
If cost were no object I would go to Paris and then take a cruise of the Greek Islands.
That cupcake looks awesome!
I have always wanted to go to Paris but Australia and Ireland are also pretty high on my list.
Wow, a 14 oz. cereal box for $5?? (the PB Bumpers) Does anyone else but me realize there’s a recession???
