It's All About the Pie!

Now, I'm not a pumpkin pie eater and maybe I never will be. But, I was looking at dessert recipes and came across these variations on the traditional pumpkin pie. I thought I would share with all of you, in case your wanting to try out something new this year- you know, jazz things up a bit with your dessert! I have to admit they all sound yummy! I do love pumpkin ice cream, so maybe- just maybe I would enjoy one of these!

What I'm Feeling Like Today

I'm feeling kinda lazy today. The weather here is getting ready to turn much cooler- and I must confess I LOVE it!

I want this worn leather chair and crackling fire to sit by...

and one of these lovely honeycomb throws
I've been meaning to pick up a copy of this book
and this cozy wrap

these comfy slipper boots

and top it all off with this cup of coffee!

Have a great day!

It's Time to Change Out the Candles!

I am all about seasonal scents, especially with candles! A couple of weeks back I was in Anthropology and came across a new line of candles that I absolutely adore... "Tatine". Have you smelled these candles??? They are wonderful. When I got home I looked up the company online and found out it is a small batch artisanal candle company in Chicago. Margo, the owner and one woman show works her booty off to make these lovely candles. What an awesome job she does- from the scent, to the container and packaging- perfection! What is even greater news is that she has three holiday scents that are part of the Holiday Garden and Forest Infusion line. I am on a mission to get one of each "Pine", "Pumpkin" and "Winterberry".

Here is an image of the Pine candle and the packaging... check out Margo's site, and her blog- it's quite inspiring to read of her success!

Have a wonderful day!

Food Friday!

Awhile back my sister gave me a Tyler Florence cookbook. Since then I have developed a love for Tyler! There hasn't been one bad recipe that I've tried - everything is yummy! These are some new pics from his blog. I must add them to my recipe book for future cooking, or I can just drool over the pictures!

Happy Friday! Happy Halloween!

Food Friday! The Caramel and Candy Apple- Yum!

It's Food Friday once again and I am craving a caramel apple. I have decided to make up a batch tomorrow, but am afraid of consuming them all, which is very - very possible. Right now my biggest dilemma is deciding on the toppings. I do like a basic caramel but I also love chocolate, pretzels, nuts, candy, etc. What to do, what to do?

Don't these look yummy- "Red Wine Caramel Apples" from Gourmet Magazine

or these Carmel and Candy Apples from Woman's Day
