I really just want to dig into these pies tonight! Self control is a thing! #pies #thanksgiving #desserts #pumpkinpie #cranberrypie #smittenkitchen
Working on pies 🥧 to bring to my Aunt’s house for Thanksgiving dinner. I love making pies. I decided to try a new recipe this year from @smittenkitchen making her cranberry pie with pecan crumble. I have loved every recipe I have tried from her site so I am sure this will be incredible. Also prepping my pumpkin pies. I like to make the filling and let it chill for several hours before putting the pie together for baking. The flavors really come together. #piebaking #pies #cranberry #cranberrypie #pumpkin #homebaking
Look at these beauties! Before you say yuck you have to try them. Roast the brussel sprouts then toss with balsamic vinegar, honey and a bit of sea salt. A perfect side dish! #brusselsprouts #roastedveggies #yum #tasty #vegetables
These pumpkin crumb muffins from @sallysbakingaddiction were a hit! Loved by my husband and colleagues. I did leave the icing off as I felt they were sweet enough and I added some chopped toasted pecans as we think nuts make everything better! Last day of school before Thanksgiving break 🙃 Hope you are having a great day. #muffins #pumpkin #baking #yum #sallysbakingaddiction
Happy Saturday evening. Hubbie is away at hunting camp so dinner for one, well actually three if you count the begging dogs 😂 Not sure if this @coyotemoonvineyards Frontenac Gris goes with Chinese but I’ll give it a try. Honestly, I haven’t found anything that doesn’t go with Coyote Moon wines. They are my favorite. So it’s me, my dogs, the stray cat Sassy that seems to be taking over the house (story for another time) and my Kindle. I downloaded @michaelconnellybooks Dark Sacred Night. I love a good murder mystery and Harry Bosch always delivers. Fun fact, I met Michael Connolly as he graduated from a school where I used to teach. Back to my Saturday night, I love my husband but I do love some alone time once in awhile. Does anyone else love their alone time? What’s your favorite thing to do? #coyotemoon #dinnerforone #saturdaynight #reading #lovetoread #booksarelife #harrybosch
This will have to be my motto for the winter. I don’t want to constantly complain. So I will keep telling myself it is beautiful and shoveling is good exercise! We got about a foot of snow. Check my IG story for a video from behind my house. It looks more like January than November 🤷‍♀️ No school today...guess my students were right. They love to predict school closings and delays when we have impending weather. Have a great Friday! #snow #noreaster #weather #positiveattitude #snowday #beautifulscenery
