It's really feeling like fall here the last few days and that includes falling leaves and baking pumpkin things! I roasted up one of my garden pumpkins and younger son and I made my favorite pumpkin bread recipe from Carole at From My Carolina Home. Yum!
He has also been making some yummy things he calls "donut holes" in the air fryer, and they used up some pumpkin, too.
I found a new favorite tea at the Celestial Seasonings tea shop in Boulder.
We're all about the yummy and cozy around here, lol!
I enjoyed this book this week. I had previously read another book by Monica Wood, so decided to try another, and liked this one, too!
LeeAnna's question of the week is about favorite cold weather clothes. When the weather turns fall-like, my uniform becomes fleece and hooded sweatshirts. I buy them in favorite places we like to visit and have a closet full! Even though it wasn't officially fall when we were on our Oregon trip, it felt like it on some days, and I brought my favorite purple hoodie for just that purpose.
Cheers!
Love the pumpkin goodies. . .I bet those donut holes and pumpkin bread were delicious! I'll have to check out that book!
ReplyDeleteOh yum ! The bread looks delicious, Diann and what makes it even better is that pumpkin came from your own garden ! And yum yum again for the donut holes. I bet you and your son have a ball cooking in the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteThat tea sounds interesting! I put out my fall decorations the other day but the fall weather is very slow in arriving this year. It was a tad cooler yesterday. I’m looking forward to homemade soup, hot chocolate and sweater weather! Gail at the cozy quilter
ReplyDeleteYum - pumpkin bread! I had saved Carole's recipe in 2022 and never tried it - I'll have to remedy that. Mom used to make donut holes along with donuts with Pillsbury biscuit dough - yum. That tea sounds good. You and I like the same cold weather uniform! My favorite cold weather item is warm fur-lined boots - I can't wait to wear them!
ReplyDeleteMy Guy has been trying different pumpkin spice bears while we've been out and about. His version of things to enjoy in the fall. Love your purple hoodie. I have a gray one that's my favorite.
ReplyDeleteOne-in-a-million Boy was wonderful! Monica Wood is such a good writer and more people should know about her. Did you read her memoir When We Were the Kennedys? I recommended it to our AAUW book club and led the discussion--everyone liked it.
ReplyDeleteI swapped clothes yesterday. The capris and summer shirts are put away and the mock turtlenecks are in the closet and the sweaters are in the dresser.
I will need to see how you do donut holes in the air fryer I only recently got one and haven't used it much
ReplyDeleteOh, I am sensing a theme of hoodies with this group!
ReplyDeleteI printed out that pumpkin bread recipe. It looks delicious. The fall like weather has started my baking again also.
ReplyDeleteOoh - pumpkin bread and donut holes. Yum! I need to start baking soon. (but we've started making soups!)
