Caramelized Butternut Squash
I am a sucker for warm savory fall foods like butternut squash. Something about the crisp air outside, the beautiful colors of leaves, and the desire to curl up on the couch and be warm lends itself to a dish like Caramelized Butternut Squash. This is by far one of the simplest, easiest, and tastiest recipes I know for the buttery fall vegetable. And with a total of 5 ingredients needed, two of which are salt and pepper, this is a great addition to any dinner. All this dish takes is the butternut squash, some melted butter, brown sugar, and salt and pepper to create the perfect compliment to a cool fall night.…

3 Simple Outfits for Fall
Fall is by far my favorite season of the year and so much of that has to do with the outfits and accessories that come with this cooler season. The season full of layering, combining textures and colors, and transitioning some summer items into cooler weather attire. I put together three outfits for fall that would work for weeknights, weekends, and weekdays by using a combination of familiar fall favorites such as booties, scarves and sweaters in addition to a few items you may not associate with fall such as lace and cooler colors. As you read and look below imagine how YOU would wear the various clothing items and accessories. 1. Dinner with Friends. Paw…

Mountain Dew Apple Dumplings
You know when you have that list of ingredients for a dish and there’s that ONE ingredient that just does not seem to fit it? You know, “one of these things is not like the other”. This is definitely one of those recipes. We recently visited our local apple orchard and came home with an entire bag of amazing apples. Naturally the question was which yummy apple recipe should we bake first? My immediate thought was apple dumplings. So sweet, so flavorful, good apple dumplings are crispy on the outside while soft and gooey on the inside. So what is the black sheep of the ingredients you ask? Brace yourself…. Mountain Dew. Yes.…

Booties, booties, booties. No, we are not talking about the latest crazy song on the radio, we are talking about some of the best footwear for the season. Versatile, comfortable, and just downright hot, booties are now being seen worn with everything from business casual wear to weekend comfort outfits to datenight. I have rounded up some of my favorite ways to wear booties and a few options to shop. 1. Short black skirt paired with super low boot? Yes please! Via Pretty Designs Great for shopping around town, these are super comfortable even with the heel. I especially love the detail strap around the top. 2. With comfy rolled up jeans. Via Stylishlyme How much…

This week everything that surrounds me is full of fall: the colors, the smells, the sounds, the food. What solidified the season change and made it official was our family visiting the local apple orchard which included a pumpkin patch. As we all enjoyed the beautiful (dare I say hot?!) day at the orchard this past weekend, I started thinking about the savory meals, decor, and accessories that include fall produce such as squash, apples, and pumpkin. Here are my Top 5 things I’m obsessing over this week. 1. The Soup Via My Recipes I was perusing through a health magazine online and came across this recipe for a Roasted Tomato and Garlic Soup.…

Caramel Apple Cookie Ice Cream
Fall is now upon us and what better way to celebrate than by making some Caramel Apple Cookie Ice Cream? We just recently purchased an ice cream maker for our son’s birthday and have been trying all sorts of different combinations of treats. The idea to try the new Caramel Apple Oreos came when eyeing the cookies on the store shelf a few days ago. Oreo cookies, caramel, and ice cream? Yes please! Who doesn’t love ice cream with a little caramel in it?! To be honest, I was not really sure how all the flavors would come together but in the end it tasted AMAZING! Just the right amount of sweet caramel, the…
