This is a fall twist on one of my favorite easy desserts. I saw the pumpkin spice cream cheese in the grocery store and decided to do a pumpkin cheesecake instead of a pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving this year. The boy approved. I love this recipe because it is so quick...
Being Thankful
Don't worry, this isn't going to be one of those long, sappy, quoting from a greeting card type of posts. I thought about it. I thought about doing a big list of all of the things and people that I'm thankful for. But if you know me at all, you know that's not my...
Seasonal Recipe Round-Up
I may not like the weather that accompanies this time of year (it's currently only 28 degrees out - ick!) but I have to say, I do love the food. So today I've got a round-up of some of the best fall and winter recipes I've featured on the blog in the past. There is...
October Etsy Round-Up
Ah, October. Arguably my favorite month, and not just because it contains my birthday (woo!). In Austin especially, the weather is my favorite in October - still warm and sunny, but not sweltering. Colors transition into my favorite palette, and it just feels like the...
Falling Leaves
We may still have green leaves on the trees here in Austin, but this time of year makes me think of warm tones and crunching underfoot regardless. Therefore, this month's Etsy round-up is all about falling and fallen leaves. Take a look: Falling Leaves by Dragonflight...
Recipe: Apple Cider Beef Stew
If you're looking for more perfect-for-fall recipes, I've got one for you right here. I originally found this on a recipe card from Taste of Home magazine, but modified it for the size of my slow cooker (2.5 qt.) and specific veggie preferences (the original called...
NY in Pictures
I am back from our trip! Did you miss me? 😉 We had an activity-packed week spending time with the boy's extended family. It was like a mini family reunion. And by mini, I mean 13 people total, which doesn't seem like much until you're trying to coordinate everyone in...
Shades of Autumn
Technically there's still another week before true autumn starts, though here in Texas we'll have at least another month or so of summer weather. That doesn't mean I can't start thinking about fall, right? Right. Accordingly, this month's Etsy round-up features some...
Recipe Guest Post: Caramel Apples
Today I'm turning over the blog to one of my wonderful sponsors this month, Kassi! Her and her sister blog over at Truly Lovely, and today she's sharing a perfect-for-fall treat. Read on, and then go say hi over at her place or on Twitter! Hi there! I'm Kassi...
What I Wore: Faux Fall
Just because it's still 85 degrees here during the day doesn't mean I can't sartorially pretend it's fall. Hence my sweater (though short-sleeved) and scarf (though non-warm-making). This is my first venture into fashion scarf wearing. Prior to this, the only...
