Fall Cravings...

I was just beginning to feel ready for fall... 

the sweet breezes.. 

and leafs crunching..

and spices everywhere..

But Southern California has declared war

and has finally delivered the warm... 

(rather hot!)

summer that I had been waiting for 

and decided wasn't coming about..
bleh!

But Alas!... 

at night when it's a bit cooler 

I can still dream.. 

Some fall inspiration...

since I just can't shake it..

From World Market..

I have been drinking this almost every night.. 

with a splash of vanilla soy or coconut milk.. 

Tonight I made Spaghetti with Butternut Leek Parmesan Sauce..

by SkinnyTaste.com.. 

one of my favorite sites for recipes.. 

It was so yummy..

And this song has been haunting me..

Favorite Things Friday...

Here are a few of my favorites lately... 

Pumpkin Nut Muffins from SkinnyTaste.. 

I kinda am in love with this website.. 

great recipes!

I might have added chocolate chips to my muffins though.. 

I blame it on the kids ;)

Summer reading is.. 

Wait for it.. 

Harry Potter.. 

I had never read them.. 

I'm on the third book so far.. 

I can't wait to read them to my boys.. 

I just got a sample of Soy Renewal Beach Spray 

in my IPSY bag.. 

and I love this product.. 

Love it!

Happy Weekending!

Happy Weekend...

I am slowly working my way into 

Thanksgiving.. 

taking down the Halloween decor..

Trying to savor every moment of the holidays.. 

and I feel like it's already going so fast.. 

but I have too many pumpkin recipes to make 

before Christmas time!

I stumbled across some great free printables

for your Thanksgiving tables and goodies..

How fun!

Happy Weekending!
