Highlights: Autumn

Published on September 12, 2010 By Emily. Updated on September 12, 2010

Fall is in the air…it’s cooler outside, the halloween candy is on display in stores, we’ve started using the blankets on our bed again and bloggers such as Caitlin are starting to say things like “Guess it’s officially Fall because I’m drinking Pumpkin Spice Lattes like it’s my job and craving hot oatmeal.”

I know, I was really excited about summer, but I think I like autumn ever better.  I love the weather, the colors, the food, going back to school, and the fact that my birthday is at the end of the month.  Last year, I was so excited about fall flavors that I went absolutely pumpkin crazy.  I’ll probably make some pumpkin recipes this year, but don’t expect the pumpkin obsession that was last fall.  I think I’m still recovering.

Anyway, it seems like all anyone can talk about is fall foods and flavors.

Kath had posts commenting on the quality of both pumpkin beer and canned pumpkin.  Heads up though, apparently there’s another pumpkin shortage happening.

Poor Rachel lamented the fact that she’s now living in Texas, where it’s looking much less like fall–and she’s tired of listening to us rant about pumpkin spice lattes.  I don’t think I could live somewhere that doesn’t have leaves changing colors in September.  Just like I can’t imagine skipping my annual pumpkin spice latte.

This fall menu from “Rhodey Girl” Sabrina makes me want to have a dinner party (actually, I’ve wanted to have a dinner party since she spoke about entertaining at HLS, but that’s another story).  Butternut squash lasagna?  Yes, please.

Speaking of butternut squash (I am so ready for fall squash!), the final installment of The Simple Dollar’s summer meal series is Butternut Squash and Carrots with Coconut Milk and Curry. That may actually go on this week’s menu, seeing as I haven’t planned anything yet.

Usually my menu gets planned on Friday or Saturday.  This week, that didn’t happen because I spent the better part of the weekend canning summer’s bounty, because soon fall will be in full swing and summer produce will be no more.  Details on my first canning adventures to come, stay tuned.

    I think of you whenever I dish out pumpkin gelato at Gimbel’s. It is a very popular flavor!

In January I decided that one of my "deliberate" s In January I decided that one of my "deliberate" sub-goals for 2021 would be to figure out the best pizza dough recipe and topping combinations for my family. We've had pizza night on the menu for a long time, but I knew that I could improve the pizzas that were coming out of my oven. Each week (or so) I've been sharing in my Stories the pizzas I've made with various stores and toppings. I am eight weeks in I've already learned a lot about technique and what I prefer in a pizza crust and toppings. I'm also looking forward to seeing what the rest of the year will hold in my pizza making studies. Check out my highlights for all the pizzas so far!

Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting to my Instagram feed was one of the things that didn't make the cut. There are more items than I'd prefer in that category, but recently I've felt like I'm beginning to get my feet firmly planted beneath me again. This fall was so busy with learning how to teach remotely and parent 2 children well. I don't anticipate that life will ever feel not busy, but I've been able to carve out some time lately for activities I've been missing. Making bread is one of those activities. Hopefully, more posts in the feed will be more frequent going forward.

#sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately #sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately has definitely had me looking to expand the snack options in my pantry.  I jumped at the chance to try these @sunmaid Sour Raisins  and they immediately became one of my daughter's favorite snacks. She likes them because they're reminiscent of candy, I like them because they're technically fruit and they come prepackaged for easy snacking and taking on the go. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty they are!

This weekend's weather was amazing and my family e This weekend's weather was amazing and my family embarked on the only way to kick off fall: we went apple picking at Jaeschke Orchards in Adams.  The parking lot was full, but out in the orchard we hardly came across any other groups.  The trees were heavy with apples and we quickly filled our bag. Looking forward to apples for snacks, pie, crisp and turnovers in the coming weeks.
