Hi friends! I hope you had a nice weekend. Ours was rainy for the most part. We went to church on Sunday, then out to lunch, followed by a quick stop by Trader Jo's for their pumpkin pancake mix. We buy it every autumn. Have you tried it? We love it!
It's sunny today and should be all week, so I plan to take lots of walks and enjoy it. Here are a few recent pics from my phone. I started reading the cutest, coziest autumn rom-com! Morning sun and shadows on my front porch, freshly planted pansies about to bloom soon, and a pumpkin Charlotte picked out from the pumpkin patch. A delicious afternoon treat: a cappuccino and a chocolate croissant from Maman. Lovely sunsets! Anyone who's been reading here for a while knows how much I love a pretty sunset. They make me so happy! A few things I've made lately: an easy one-pan chicken and asparagus dish for dinner; an apple crisp with homemade caramel sauce, which I served with vanilla ice cream (everyone loved it and went back for seconds); and our favorite chocolate chip cookies! I also made a chocolate cake with buttercream frosting last week just because we were all craving chocolate cake, and I forgot to snap a picture. Needless to say, it didn't last very long. The kitchen is indeed my happy place. Maybe I'll get brave enough to video myself making something delicious in my kitchen and share it here on my blog. Hmmm, something to think about!
What have you been cooking or baking lately? I'd love to hear about it! Have a wonderful and delicious new week!
