[H2] My Mom’s Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies!

[H6]
by Holly Madison | Lifestyle, Motherhood, Recipes | 0Comments

By Us Weekly Staff
Seeing red! Holly Madison wanted a kitchen as cheerful as her disposition. When she and her husband, music producer Pasquale Rotella, bought this six-bedroom L.A. spread in 2015, she painted the dark cabinets a crisp white and brought in 10 of her vintage cookie jars. “I always have a Snow White,” she says of her collectible. The mom of Rainbow, 4, and Forest, 8 months, then drew her accent color from the red knobs of her Wolf stove.
Madison, 37, began collecting vibrant Fiestaware because it embodies “that comfortable, casual California dining” style, and she fills glass jars with gum balls and other colorful sweets in variations of the hue. To avoid snacking, “I pick candy I don’t like!”

Other constants on the vintage enthusiasts’ countertop include a bright red KitchenAid mixer and her new favorite device: a “futuristic” Juicero machine. “They deliver these little juice packets to you every week that already has the fruits and vegetables inside,” she tells Us Weekly. “It just squeezes it, so it’s the easiest way to juice. I’m really into that right now, especially trying to get back in shape and running after two kids! It’s the most convenient thing.”

As busy as she is, Madison still loves to cook a big, elaborate meal once a week. When Game of Thrones is airing a new season, she and Rotella, 42, host a dinner party for every episode. “It’s always themed after a character,” she notes. “I started doing it two seasons ago, so the last two seasons I’ve done it every episode! I take some stuff from the Game of Thrones cookbook, but then I’ll invent stuff or find stuff online that I think fits the character. Some of the things I’ve made have become staple dishes for our family.”

Whenever Holly Madison bakes a batch of her mom’s oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, it reminds her of hovering over the mixer as a little girl. “I’d see her baking, and I’d want to be a part of it,” she says. Among the first recipes she learned: these perfectly chewy treats. Try them out for yourself using the recipe below.
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies by Holly’s Mom
Makes 2 dozen
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups oatmeal
1 package semisweet chocolate chips

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl or in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and brown sugar together. Add the eggs, vanilla, baking soda, baking powder and salt; beat the mixture until it’s fluffy and light in color.

Who vacations in a pineapple under the sea? Holly Madison!
The Girls Next Door alum recently visited Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, bringing husband Pasquale Rotella and their daughter Rainbow Aurora, 3½, along for the ride.
The family was snapped soaking up the rays on the property’s beach, taking turns playing with toys, building sand castles and splashing in the surf.

Madison, 37, Rotella and Rainbow stayed in “The Pineapple,” the resort’s 2,292-square-foot suite designed as a nod to SpongeBob Squarepants‘ own home in his fictional undersea town of Bikini Bottom.
Aside from fun on the sand, the family spent one-on-one time with Nickelodeon characters at a Character Breakfast, got slimed at the Aqua Nick water park and enjoyed an infinity pool, around-the-clock butler service and more.
The couple spent plenty of time bonding with Rainbow, who recently became a big sister to 5-month-old brother Forest Leonardo Antonio.
“I think she’s going to be a good big sister,” Madison told PEOPLE in March of her daughter. “She’s very caring and she loves playing with her baby dolls and taking care of the pets.”
The now mom of two had a hunch she was having a boy the second time around, she admitted last January before finding out her baby’s sex. “I’m kind of feeling the boy vibe,” she said. “We’ll see how psychic I am!”

Your family looks so happy in the photos! I love taking my two children on vacation so they can relax and have some fun new experiences. I have to admit, I’m a bit of an addict- I’d do nearly anything just to get them to smile! Congrats on your happy family!

[H2] Bringing Home My Baby: What I packed for the Hospital

[H6]
by Holly Madison | Lifestyle, Motherhood | 3Comments

[IMG: Holly Madison]
As you may have heard, my baby boy, Forest Leonardo Antonio Rotella was born on Sunday, August 7th. We are overjoyed with excitement and so happy he is home safe and sound. Thank you for all the thoughtful wishes left on my Instagram, Twitter and Facebook page. It truly means the world!
I was looking through recent comments and saw a few of you asking for suggestions on what to bring to the hospital, so I thought I would share what I put in my overnight bag.
Preparing ahead of time is incredibly important and a great way to use your nesting instinct, if that has kicked in. Having a few essentials with you at the hospital will make you and your family so much more comfortable. I ended up filling a suitcase and a cooler with all my supplies. It was reassuring to know that I had everything ready to go at a moment’s notice should I go into labor before my due date.
Here’s what I made sure I didn’t leave home without on the big day:
[H3] The Cooler
First of all, since I was saving my placenta to be made into pills, I needed a cooler for it to be taken away in. Inside it I packed almond milk and a bottle for my toddler (her nightly necessity); Snack Packs, since I craved them the last time I gave birth and plastic spoons. I also brought bottled water, baby formula, and bottles. Hospitals usually provide formula, but they may not carry your favorite brand, so if you have a preference, bring it along. I brought Earth’s Best formula and the new Comotomo Bottles I was eager to try.
[H3] A Cord Blood Kit
I planned on banking my baby’s cord blood, so I made sure not to forget the cord blood kit. I also made sure to fill out a birth plan to bring to my doctor. I used the PDF worksheet from www.thebump.com/a/tool-birth-plan
[H3] Mom Stuff
You never know what state your body is going to be in post labor, so comfort is key. I made sure to bring slippers, pjs, a loose fitting outfit to come home in, a wedge pillow for my belly and socks. These items helped me feel relaxed and at home pre and post labor. I am always surprised to see just how little my belly deflates after giving birth. My feet were so swollen, they looked like they should have been attached to a Hobbit. Not to mention, my anatomy was so swollen, I felt like I was sitting on a baboon butt (thankfully, that problem went away quickly). Those are just a few reasons I was glad I brought slippers and loose fitting clothes! I also packed toiletries, a little bit of makeup, a phone charger and a book.
[H3] Essentials for the New Addition
I knew Forest was going to be a big baby, so I brought both newborn and 0-3 month sized outfits, just in case. He came in at well over 8 pounds and ended up fitting in a onesie with a houndstooth vest and bow tie. The hospital usually provides all the diapers, swaddles, and hats you need so I didn’t pack any of that, but I did bring a pair of baby mittens. Babies are sometimes born with surprisingly long fingernails and can easily scratch themselves by accident, so mittens are essential.
[H3] Sibling Stuff
Since I didn’t want Rainbow to feel left out or displaced by the baby, she came with us when we checked into the hospital and was brought back to visit as often as possible during my stay. To help make her feel more at home, I packed a small backpack for her with basic toiletries, pajamas and a couple of books, including ones that were all about new babies and siblings. I made sure to pack a cute party dress for her to wear as a “going home outfit” so that she would feel just as dressed up and special as her new little brother. We also got her a new baby doll as a surprise gift to help make this day as memorable for her as it was for us.
[H3] The Final Essential
I made sure to have an infant car seat properly installed in my car ahead of time so I wouldn’t have to scramble and throw it together at the last minute.
[H3] Things I Forgot
Luckily, I had a friend willing to bring me a few items I found myself wanting. The first was my Boppy pillow, a half-circle pillow that makes breastfeeding so much more comfortable. The second was hand cream-all the extra hand washing you do during a hospital stay can really dry out your hands, particularly if you are sensitive to certain liquid soaps.
What must-haves did you bring in your overnight bag? I love hearing from you and know other readers appreciate learning new tips and tricks, so please share your thoughts below!
