Fall Favourites

Pumpkin, Spice and Everything Nice


Fall is by faaar my absolute favourite season! 
The air turns crisp, the leaves start to turn, you get to break out your favourite comfy sweaters, dust off your boots, warm up with some hot chocolate and add pumpkin to just about anything you eat. Besides everyone knows layering is the best part of fashion, I mean come on there are so many more options this time of year!

-FAVOURITE FALL PASS TIMES-

Curling up with a good book and a warm cup of tea
Taking a walk through Central Park to see all the changing leaves
Tour a winery
Roasting marshmallows for s'mores over a bonfire
Taking the pups for a walk around the block
Sip on fresh apple cider
Carrying on family traditions or starting your very own
Meeting up with friends for a delicious cup of coffee
The Holidays! Food and Family!
Trying out old (or new) family recipes
Cuddling up with the boy under a heavy blanket and watching a good movie
Watch a hockey game
Making adorable Fall outfits-just because I can
Baking/eating/consuming/smelling anything apple or pumpkin
Making a list of everything you have to be thankful for this past year
Visit a museum
Being a kid again and playing in the leaves with the boy
Laying under the stars with a blanket and bottle of wine


Here's one of the Boy and I's new favourite fall treats:
Baked Cinnamon Apples
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
  2. In a oven safe casserole dish mix:
    • 4 cups of diced apples, any variety (I like to mix red apples with one green!)
    • 1 tbsp flour
    • 1 tbsp lemon juice
    • 1/4 tsp salt
    • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
    • 1/4 cup sugar
  3. I top it off with an extra sprinkling of cinnamon, because who doesn't love cinnamon
  4. Throw it in the oven for 30 minutes and viola! (It makes your house smell amazing too!)


*Serve with Vanilla ice cream or whatever you have in your freezer- in our case, chocolate.
You can also serve this as a Fall side dish and hearty it up with two cups of oats
