Cranberry and Brown Sugar Steel Cut Oats Recipe

Hey Dolls!

Welcome back to the Makeup Junkie! Today's post is going to be a breakfast recipe! I know I haven't done a recipe in a while and I thought a healthy breakfast recipe would be a great reboot in recipes on the blog. As usual if you don't like an ingredient or you are allergic to an ingredient then please don't use that ingredient. You can swap out anything in this recipe if you would like. This is just a guideline! So, let's get started!

Cinnamon Detox Water

Hey Dolls!

Detox water has become extremely popular. So, I figured I would jump on the bandwagon and make my
own detox water. Let me tell you Dolls, this beverage tastes AMAZING. It almost tastes like tea or juice instead of water. It's amazing. If you don't like the taste of water or you don't like bland detox waters than you may what to try this recipe. Remember that this is a guide, you can add or remove any ingredients you would like. If you are allergic to anything just remove it and replace it with something else. I hope you all enjoy and let's jump into it.









What does this detox water do?
This water speeds up your metabolism and flushes toxins out of your system. Detox water is an excellent alternative to sugary juices and sodas.

• 6 cups of distilled water
• 1 lemon
• Mint Leaves (Use as many as your heart desires)
• Pineapple (1/4 to 1/2 of a medium pineapple)

Step by Step:

1. Add six cups of distilled water to a kettle.
2. Add 2 cinnamon sticks to the distilled water and allow the water to come to a boil.
3. Once your water has come to a boil remove your cinnamon sticks and allow it to cool.
4. Once the water has cooled a bit add in your fruit and mint leaves
5. Allow the water to sit in the refrigerator and become cold.

easy recipe that incorporates one of those flavors... CINNAMON. The recipe is cinnamon honey butter. This is a twist on regular honey butter. This butter is sweet from the honey with a slight kick from the cinnamon. It pairs well will bagel, toast, or even pancakes. Once you try this recipe I promise you will be addict. So, without further a do let's jump into it!

You will need...

• 1 cup of softened butter (2 sticks of butter)
• 2 tsp. of powdered cinnamon
• 3/4 cup of honey
• 1/4 tsp. of vanilla extract

Let's get cookin'...

1. Allow two sticks of butter to soften at room temperature. This may take a one to two hours depending on how warm your home is.
2. Once the butter is softened remove it from its wrapper and place it in a bowl.

4. Mix the butter with an electric mixer or a spoon until all of the ingredients are combined and the texture is smooth.

Mexican Hot Chocolate

Hey Dolls!

Fall is finally here! It's time to break out the scarves, boots, long sleeves, and hot beverages. A staple hot beverage is hot chocolate kids and adults love this drink all the same but, sometimes plain old hot chocolate can be a bit boring. So, I wanted to share with you Dolls a way to jazz up hot chocolate. So, let's jump into it!

Let's begin with ingredients: (Makes two servings)

• 2 packets of instant hot chocolate mix or 3 tables spoons of cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon of chocolate sauce
• 1 stick of cinnamon
• A pinch of cayenne powder
• 1/4 cup milk or evaporated milk (I use almond milk)
• 2/4 cups boiling water or milk
• Whipped cream
• Ground Cinnamon

Onto the recipe:

1. Place the hot chocolate mix or cocoa powder, water, chocolate sauce, cinnamon stick, milk and cayenne powder into a medium sauce pan. Bring this mixture to a rolling boil. Make sure to mix the powders together.
2. Once the mixture has been brought to a boil all of the contents should be smooth. Stir to make sure that here is no powder left.
3. Turn off the stove and remove the cinnamon stick from the sauce pan.
4. Ladle the hot chocolate into mugs.
5. Top the hot chocolate with whipped cream and ground cinnamon.

That's all folks!


That was my Mexican hot chocolate recipe. It is an awesome twist to a traditional beverage. This recipe will definitely warm you up this Fall and Winter!

Chai Tea Latte

Hey Dolls!

Fall is upon us which means it's time to enjoy warm drinks. As we grow older coffee seems to be the warm drink of choice but, what if you don't like coffee? Then there is tea. However, tea can be quite boring sometimes. So, today I am going to share with you my favorite fall tea drink. Let's jump into it!

Let's begin with the ingredients...

1. A saucepan
2. 2 bags of your favorite chai tea
3. 2/4 cup of a milk of your choice. (I prefer almond milk.)
4. 1 to teaspoons of sugar. (I used beet rock sugar.)
5. 1 stick of cinnamon
6. Ground nutmeg
7. Ground cinnamon
8. Whipped cream. (I like fat free, low sugar cool whip.)
9. A cup
10. 1/4 of water

Onto the recipe...
1. Boil water in a kettle.
2. While you wait for the water to boil add 2/4 cup milk to a sauce pan then add your stick of cinnamon and the 2 cloves to the milk. Once the milk has come to a boil add you sugar. Make sure your sugar dissolves completely. Then put your milk off to the side to cool slightly. Remember to remove the cloves and cinnamon stick once the mixture has stopped boiling. 
*if you would like you milk to be more latte-isque whip the milk for several moments.* 
3. Once the water is finished boiling pour 1/4 cup of water into a mug.
4. Add your two teabags to the mug of water. Then allowed to steep for several minutes.
5. Add you milk to the steeping tea mixture. Remember to leave room for whipped cream.
6. Once the tea has steeped remove the teabags from the mug. Make sure you get all of the tea out of the bags. A trick I have is to take two spoons and press the teabag against the spoons with your fingers that will ensure all of the tea is out of the bag.
7. Now that everything is in your mug, stir everything together. 
8. Add as much whipped cream as you would like. Then garnish the drink with ground nutmeg and ground cinnamon. 

That's all folks! 

That is my chai tea latte recipe. It is honestly one of my favorite fall drinks. I enjoy it so much because it is an amazing substitute to coffee. I hope you Dolls try it out!
