I Need Some Air...

Caution:  The following post/novel is very long and technical.  Unless you are really interested in DIY home improvement, I am going to save you a couple years of your life and recommend that you do not take the time to read it... unless you enjoy my color commentary of life... there is plenty of that in there.

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas

I just wanted to share with you all what has been on my mind lately.  For my immediately family and close friends, it will be no surprise that I can't stop thinking about the holidays.

Whenever the temperature dips below 60 degrees I start craving soup and pumpkin and want to crawl under a blanket and think about Christmas.

Warm Spiced Fruit

This recipe is so simple and so comforting. I tell myself that its healthy, too, because it has fruit in it.  It's great for brunches (think: Christmas!), and even as "sick food"-- it is yummy and feels good to eat when you have a cold.  I definitely would file this recipe as "something different."

Pumpkin

Today I'm thankful  for...

pumpkin!

Second Chances

I would like to take a moment to flashback to my post on September 19th.

This post made reference to some blogging tips by Pioneer Woman.  Allow me to quote her second tip:

Apple Pizza

APPLE PIZZA
Cover a pizza pan with a pie crust.
Slice apples and arrange around pizza pan in one layer.

1/4 t nutmeg
Combine until crumbly:
3/4 c flour
