What I’m watching and reading:

• I watched the Sebastian Maniscalco movie: About My Father (Netflix). It’s a semi-fictional portrayal of the comedian’s life and relationship with his father, who is played by Robert Deniro. I loved it!
• My book blogging sister recommended her latest 5-star review book to me: The Vaster Wilds by Lauren Groff. Here’s Amazon’s description: A servant girl escapes from a colonial settlement in the wilderness. She carries nothing with her but her wits, a few possessions, and the spark of god that burns hot within her. What she finds in this terra incognita is beyond the limits of her imagination and will bend her belief in everything that her own civilization has taught her.

Fun Recipes I’ve spotted on the internet this week:

• This Mediterranean Charcuterie Board looks fun to make for a party.
• I want to make these Everything But the Bagel Chicken Bites. Yum!
• These Soft Pumpkin Cookies with Cream Cheese Frosting look pretty delicious!
• Who wants to join me in sampling a Caramel Apple Cider Martini?

Here’s what’s going on in my life:

• Fall has definitely arrived in the Northwest! We’ve had quite a bit of rain and cool weather. I love it! Since getting back from my vacation, I’ve been getting back into the swing of things with long walks and the gym. 
• I made some Pumpkin Turkey Chili with Pumpkin Cornbread this week. Yum!
• I’ve been thinking about participating in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Cancer Walk sometime next year. Now I just need to put together a team to do it with me. Please let me know if this is something you have done before and what the experience was like!

Catch up on food-related news of the week:

• New Cookbook Release: Brilliant Bites- 75 Amazing Small Bites for Any Occasion by Maegan Brown. This is my friend Maegan’s latest cookbook! Maegan is the author of the website TheBakerMama.com.

Products I’m loving:

• Love this little mini bluetooth speaker. I’m thinking it would be a great holiday gift for the right person!
• If you like to go to concerts or sporting events, this is a great “stadium-approved size” clear purse (cheap!)
• Look for pumpkin spiced pumpkin seeds at Trader Joe’s. They’re amazing added to salads!
• Getting personalized golf balls made is the perfect gift for the golf lover in your life!
• I love the idea of starting a daily gratitude journal to remind me of how lucky I am to have such a good life!!
• Look for Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Nonfat Greek Yogurt. I love the NOOSA brand pumpkin yogurt, but it’s full of calories and fat. The TJ’s version is pretty tasty, and it’s a good sub for NOOSA!
• We sure love our hot tub, but here’s a less expensive option for a hot tub that looks cool and has good reviews!
• If I had known about this outdoor instant pop up shelter tent when my son was playing fall/winter outdoor sports, I would have gotten it. What a great way to stay out of the wind/rain/snow and still watch your kids play sports!!

Let’s bake a fall dessert!

• Maple Snickerdoodles are much like classic snickerdoodle cookies but they are flavored with maple syrup!
• Apple Cinnamon Upside Down Cake is a wonderful fall cake recipe.
