Midweek Meal Inspo; Gnocchi, Sloppy Joes, Sushi Bowls and more.

Posted on January 21, 2025January 21, 2025 by Jupiter

I sometimes get into a rut, repeatedly cooking the same dinners. We do have a lot of family favorites, but it’s always fun to try something new! Dann and I have discovered a few brands of gnocchi that we quite enjoy, so we’ve been introducing that into our meals. Along with gnocchi, we wanted to create some meals that allowed our children to top the bowls themselves, introducing new ingredients that they likely haven’t tired before, but making it their choice. So, we have some fun meals that have a lot of customizations!

Under the Sea Cupcake Class with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Posted on January 17, 2025January 11, 2025 by Jupiter

The Under the Sea Cupcake Class hosted by Sweet Designs by Jennie is a theme that she has quite often, as it’s a very fun class and not very specific to any sort of holiday. We’ve done a lot of holiday-related classes in the past, so it was nice to try out a class that feels general! Our goal is to end up going to them all. Under the Sea Cupcake Class is a fondant class which requires very little piping but had some new tools to work with.

Dinner out at The Cock Helsinki

Posted on January 3, 2025January 16, 2025 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] While in Helsinki for a work event, we went out to a celebratory dinner to celebrate the end of a fantastic event and a promotion I got within the company! Picking something that sounded and felt like it could be British, we ended up at The Cock. This restaurant is very welcome to people just visiting the area and serves a fun menu with a lot of familiar and classic food. Dann and I both got different starters and mains, for once, off of a set menu that the entire team ordered from. The venue felt cozy, like an upscale pub, and the staff were fantastic.

Playing with cats at Katzentempel

Posted on December 27, 2024January 5, 2025 by Jupiter

Dann and I go to Germany each and every year, specifically to Cologne, for Gamescom as apart of our day jobs. We’ve basically done everything we could possibly go or so we thought! This year, Dann surprised me by finding a new place; Katzentempel Koln, which is a vegan cat cafe, right in Cologne. I absolutely love cat cafes and have been to a few in London. You do not need to pre-book, so we went along in the afternoon during one of the days we were there.

Amelia and I are always looking forward to the cupcake decorating classes by Sweet Designs by Jennie. This Christmas Character Cupcake Class is our final class of the year, but we got to see a sneak peak at one of the new classes coming in January, and we are really excited to get to decorating! The Christmas Character Cupcake Class was one of four winter / Christmas themed classes that Jennie was running. As always, the cupcakes were pre-baked, the fondant was already colored, and we all sat down to enjoy a few hours of creating decorations.
