Autumn Bliss

The weather is starting the get chillier and it's raining orange, red and yellow leaves outside...that's right it's that beautiful time of year again! My favourite season...AUTUMN!!! Honestly who doesn't love how beautiful it is outside! So to honour this beautiful, wonderful, grateful-filled season, I made some homemade Applesauce with cranberry scones!!!

The recipes I found over at one of my favourite blogs --- Skinnytaste. I'm serious, Gina's Skinny Recipes are absolutely amazing and perfect for those who are like me and wanting to lose a little...ok....a lot of weight before the season of moresweetsthenthewaistwillallowalongwithemptyresolutionswedon'tintendtokeep season...aka the Holiday season, in case any of you didn't understand my crazy mind thought. :)

Who needs scented candles when you have apple, cinnamon and cranberries cooking up in your kitchen.

 You can find the scone recipe I used if you follow this link ---> over here
And the Glorious in your mouth Applesauce you can find over here

You'll thank me for directing you over to her after you taste your goodies!! I'll wait right here as you bake...

I mean look at how pretty the scones look!

But if you're not careful....or distracted...they'll be all gone...I blame the kitchen gnomes...

Enjoy the beauty of the season!

Look Whoo's Having a Baby

So the long weekend has passed and it was a busy one for our household.One of my closest friends is just about ready to pop, so during the long weekend I threw her an owl themed baby shower! Cute, right? Unfortunately, I forgot I was so busy entertaining that I didn't pull out my trusty camera earlier on...so I took a picture of the almost empty well enjoyed buffet and the dessert table.

Can you believe I didn't realize the backdrop wasn't centered and pinned creatively until I uploaded my pictures. Truly the testament of a busy woman.

 So when the women walked in, they grabbed a felt flower (I'll try to get a picture of it posted soon) and wrote their names on the attached piece of paper. Then they filled out 'Fill-in the Blank' baby advice cards. After a good afternoon of food, coffee, juice and desserts everyone left with their own mini apple, pumpkin or pecan pies. (Made by yours truly). I could not be happier with how everything turned out and I'm glad the mommy-to-be and daddy-to-be enjoyed themselves.

I can't wait to meet the Little bean!

Rather than give you some sort of small talk blah blah about how my month has been going, how about I give you the picture run down? yes? yes :)

I think C and I are going to do this to our guestroom. I Love the idea of guests coming out and discovering a relaxing place to sleep in for the night.

I absolutely love this small bathroom. C and I have a pretty small bathroom and we are trying to find something pretty and functional to do with it. I Love the idea of two curtains, the subway tile and anyone else love that light fixture?? I know I sure do!

Baking, baking and baking....oh my...

Hi all! So that's what my last week has consisted of baking, baking, and baking... OH MY! So every once in a while I get that bakin' craving. I start my search across the blog world looking for inspiration and as I'm sure all of your know, inspiration is something the blog world NEVER lacks. Holy moly horses! So many pies, cakes, cookies and yum yums I just want to make....and eat....wish calories were imaginary...

I have tried cinnamon rolls (recipe from The Pioneer Woman). Let me tell you, these babies were to die for!! I followed her instructions to the T and these suckers went quickly. My family wanted them, friends and the boyfriend couldn't keep his hands off them either.

Then I tried sugar cookies. (recipe from Bake at 350 and inspiration came from all over the blog world, wish i wrote it down)

Then there is my Puppy Lady who celebrated her 1st birthday!!!!!!! It was so exciting. C and I made her a cake...okay not a 'cake' but a meat loaf (turkey and lean beef with some ketchup, an egg, pepper, salt. With mashed potato (icing) and peanut butter lettering )

She nearly lost her mind when she saw it! She's so adorable!

Then of caking and cupcakes...so yummy and colourful.

And of course the christmas gingerbread house and cookies...I didn't decorate the cookies...C did. Isn't he the artist... :)

Gotta love baking.
