Mini Espresso Bundt Cakes with Dark Chocolate Ganache (+Giveaways)

Mini Espresso Bundt Cakes with Dark Chocolate Ganache

I’ve always heard that your 20’s are a crapshoot. It’s the time where you feel like you should be an adult but things just aren’t quite up to par. It’s the time when you try to discover what you want to do with your life, who you want to spend your life with, or really, who you are as a person.

Mini Espresso Bundt Cakes with Dark Chocolate Ganache

The thing that no one told me was how fast your 20’s really go. Occasionally I’ll get nostalgic for my senior year in college (I think senioritis is contagious when you work at a college) and I that sinking feeling slips in that the year I’m pining for happened five years ago, FIVE YEARS!

Mini Espresso Bundt Cakes with Dark Chocolate Ganache

It was exactly five years ago that the student newspaper asked that fateful questions, “where do you see yourself in five years?” My answer, “I can’t see where I’ll be in five months let alone five years.” And yet, here we are, five years later and let me tell you, this fifth year has been a doozy (and I have a sneaky suspicion that this next year will be even more so.

I didn’t expect much from 26. If you read my last year’s post you’ll notice that if ever there was a time that I didn’t know, that was it. I didn’t know anything about where I was headed, who I was headed with, and I was only starting to figure out who I was. 26 was full of ideas for new starts and beginnings.

I didn’t know what was coming for me in this year. I successfully made it through my first year of teaching, got in engaged in a field in Wisconsin, started a business with a rockin’ partner, convinced M to take a job 2000 miles away, made the decision to move towards my passions, and a few other odd and end things in between.

So what’s next? This year is all about moving and shaking (literally, well at least literally moving).

Mini Espresso Bundt Cakes with Dark Chocolate Ganache

In May I’ll be packing up everything and moving to Northern Cali. I’ll be pursing new and exciting opportunities with my photography (and hopefully a book proposal if I get my butt in gear). In September I’ll be marrying my best friend in a beautiful country setting. And most of all, I’ll be enjoying ever second of life.

It’s going to be a big year, I can feel it.

[Giveaway Details: A few of my favorite things]

That’s right, because I have a feeling big things are going to happen this year, I’m going big with my giveaway and doing three! All you need to do to enter is leave a comment below just saying hello (and mention which item you’d like to receive!) If you’d like to be extra nice, you can like my page of facebook or follow me on twitter, but that’s only if you want to- it won’t garner an extra entry.

This giveaway is is only open to residents of the U.S. (sorry!) and will run from now until Sunday, February 17th at 8:00pm central time. Winners will be emailed on Monday morning!

————————

Giveaway 1: The lovely people of Eat Boutique were nice enough to sponsor this giveaway. If you haven’t checked out their site- it’s such a lovely space and a wonderful place to find gifts for every occasion. Their focus is on local, artisan products (which of course, I love). I’m giving away their Valentines Sweets Gift Box (items may differ from what’s shown but I can promise you it will still be awesome!) I’ve been eyeing their Small Batch by Season box– just perfect!

Giveaway is over! Thanks to all who entered!

Eat Boutique

Giveaway 2: Another personal favorite from this year: Melissa’s Cowls. I’m giving away one of her cowls in your choice of color (she agreed to knit just for the winner!) Many of you may know Melissa from The Fauxmartha and as my business partner for Wooden Spoons Kitchen, but she’s also a rad knitter. Winter may be winding down but I promise you this will be perfect for next winter! (I was originally going to have a photo of me in my barley cowl but my cowl as gone mia- I’m sure it’s in my house, probably in that pile of laundry I’ve yet to put away…)

Giveaway 3: This giveaway is from my own heart. I’m a big proponent of local whether it’s produce or local businesses. I’ve been spoiled to have such an awesome wine shop in the town where I work. It’s such a wonderful space with the nicest owner so I popped in there and picked a couple things out to give to you! In this little package you’ll get this awesome wine glass holder that is made from old win barrels and a cute slate cheese platter (glasses/bottle not included).  (and if you’re ever in Monmouth, IL- visit Market Alley Wine!)

    Happy birthday!! I’ve been quietly reading your blog for a year, and it’s been incredibly inspiring. The idea of life after college intimidates me greatly, but your blog always gives me hope that things will work out, even if I take risks. You’re so kind to everyone through this blog. I rely on it for a lot of quick, affordable recipes that won’t leave me scrambling between classes and papers to get something on the table (or desk, as it is). Thank you again!! Happy Valentine’s Day, as well!

    I started this comment before I read about the give-away. Thank you for that, too! I can only make use of the Eat Boutique prize, but you have such wonderful taste in gifts. All of these look wonderful!

    Happy Birthday Erin… my next one will be my 70th! Can’t believe it. Enjoy every birthday day because all of a sudden they will seem to go by so fast. would be thrilled to receive any giveaway but I am especially partial to number 3, as I am a knitter and also trying not to eat sweets… but I would be happy for any of them!

    Hi, Happy Birthday! I relate so much to your post– my 20s flew by and really ended up making me strong enough to make tough decisions in my early 30s. The 30s by the way, are pretty fabulous and I’m happy to say that in my 33rd year I’m finally on track with career, my new home, my puppy, and how I’m eating. Thanks for your part in that!

    I’d love 2 or 3 🙂

    Hello. I LOVE your blog. I love cooking but never have any ingredients to make cool things because we’re on a budget (I also like to believe I don’t have the creativity…but who knows!). Seems like the only thing I can make that looks pretty and tastes good is salad and avocado+veggie sandwiches. I think the background and atmosphere of your photos makes it look even more enchanting! Every time I look at your blog I get so inspired to just make extraordinary things even with simple as well as healthy ingredients. I could go on and on. 🙂 Anyway, I love all the things for the giveaway but I think I would most like the Eat Boutique Gift Box.

    Seriously awesome blog. 🙂

    Hey! I came across your blog on pinterest, and have since subscribed to your emails and ‘liked’ you on Facebook. I love trying your recipes and have several in mind I’m waiting to try (my husband will freak when I first attempt your bread bowls, and I myself am excited for the apple pecan scones.) I’m a huge fan of baking/cooking as well as photography, and I love that you’re doing and succeeded in both. An inspiration for someone with the same passions. Take care, so happy I came across your blog!
