I have been ready for fall for a few weeks now and I will admit that I have jumped the gun a little bit and already done a few things. I guess in hope that Fall will arrive sooner. I started burning my pumpkin oil about two weeks ago, yep it sure was still August and over 100 degrees outside. I also have sweet cinnamon pumkin wallflowers in my outlets and a hobb;e creek pumpkin spice candle burning. If you haven't already tried bath and body works home scents they have two pumpkin flavors, just pumpkin which you see above and sweet cinnamon pumpkin. They are my Favs but they also have spiced cider, cinnamon vanilla, creamy nutmeg and a fall apple, all of them so worth the money. FYI the wallflowers are buy one get one free right now and the oils go fast during the season so get your stock pile like me.
The next thing I have done is baked Pumpkin chocolatle chip cookies. They are sooooo good. I look forward to them every year. I haven't made the pie yet but I have the stuff just waiting for the perfect day, like sunday then my family is usually around. Oh and the best part of the pumpkin cookies was I put two cookies, vanilla ice cream and milk in the blender and made a shake, I was hesitant at first then it was so delish I asked Frank if I could finish his. YUMMY!!
I have other things that I am looking forward to as well. Let me give you a list.
*Jeans, I love jeans and right now it is just too hot.
*Hoodies, Oh the comfort.
*Pajama pants, honestly I would were pajama pants and socks everywhere I went if it wasn't to ghetto.
*Brocolli cheese soup from Viors. It is the best, I think I eat there atleast twice a week when it's cold outside. Plus they have pepsi and I am a sucker for places that serve pepsi, what's up with everyone and their coke and generic Dr. Pepper.
*Decorating, I love to decorate for the seasons and it's all I can do to not put up my fall stuff right now.
*Hot home cooked meals, in the summer we eat a lot of easy stuff like sandwiches, barbecue, frozen food, yep I just admitted it, we eat frozen food. and pizza. I am so ready for Lasagna, chicken pot pie, crock pot, and chile. (okay I had that last week to)
*darkness, I love sunlight but I am ready for it to be dark in the morning until 8:00 and get dark again around 6:00. The days seem so quite to me when it is dark and gloomy. I need all the quiteness I can get.
*The colors of fall, I love the leaves and fall colors. When we lived in Salt Lake driving in the mountains and canyons was the best. Now I have to drive to far, but Brianna enjoys it for me.
I could probably keep going but those are the basics. So just know that when the weather starts to cool off and fall is in the air, I will be ready and prepared.
I am on the look out for some new dinner ideas. Now that it is cooking season again for me I am realizing that everyday I don't know what to make for dinner. I am so sick of the same old recipes I use year after year. So the idea of this post is in hopes that everyone who looks at it whether you're a stalker or not will comment and then do a post on one of their favorite recipes for dinner. I love the sweets so if you want to do both that would be great but I am in need of dinners. So to start I am giving a soup recipe that my mom has made my whole life, definatly one of my favorites and since it is getting cold.
