pumpkin picking
Halloween is less than two weeks away, and while I haven’t even thought about a costume, I have all the pumpkins I could need. A few weeks ago Will and I crossed one item off our fall bucket list when we went to a pumpkin patch where we were able to pick the pumpkins we…

pumpkin pop tarts with brown butter maple frosting
How happy would you be if someone handed you a pumpkin pop tarts with brown butter maple frosting as you were running out the door in the morning? They are the perfect cure for the Mondays. My siblings and I only had pop-tarts on vacation and at our grandparent’s house when we were growing up,…

The weekend may be over, but this pumpkin coffee cake with cinnamon streusel makes every morning feel like the perfect fall day.

a fun fall weekend
October has been crazy busy. Last week I posted about my trip to New York. The weekend after that was jam packed with farmers’ markets, family, friends and celebrations! We celebrated my mom’s retirement (whoop whoop, go mum!), Will’s sibling’s birthdays and the engagement of one of my good friends who was on the NY trip….
secretly vegan pumpkin bread
I have a slight pumpkin obsession. I started making pumpkin bread the last week of August. It sounds early, but at the time we were so close to fall and nothing pumpkin was out in stores yet. Pumpkin was calling my name and I couldn’t resist. It was like the teaser to the full-on pumpkin…
