It’s almost trick or treating time for the kids. This year I’ve put together some of my favorite fall treats in clear bags attached with pumpkin tags for Halloween. These cute orange pumpkin tags are available in two sizes {small and large} for you to print as many as you like.
Add a little bit of whimsical and fun twist to homemade caramel apples this fall season. Instead of popsicle sticks or wooden skewers for the handles, I decided to use apple branches. To give height and attention to this yummy grouping of caramel apples, the branches were cut a little longer with some leaves still attached. This is a wonderful idea to use as a centerpiece on a table or as a part of the decoration.

The fall season is upon us as evident in the change in color and scenery. Ralph Lauren’s Fall/Winter 2015-16 woman’s collection captured the season beautifully. The theme throughout the show played on the essence of the American west in a refined, sophisticated, and elegant manner. Multiple layers of rich luxurious fabrics, faux-fur constructed of shearling, suede, and cashmere were mixed and matched with simple knitted ensembles, classic suites, basic turtlenecks, shirts, pants, and skirts. To enhance the monochromatic looks, dramatic long fringes, chunky knits, feathers, and lace along with statement accessory pieces were incorporated into each outfit. The collection celebrated the American west and the season to its fullest.
It’s apple season and our apple trees are brimming with apples ready for picking. This bucket was filled in no time at all.

Whipped sweet potatoes with caramelized apples is a delicious side dish for this time of year. It’s not too sweet and the combination of creamy and chunky mixed with sweet and tart all in one dish is just right.

{Martha Stewart Living magazine, November 1995}
I was introduced to whipped sweet potato recipe in 1995 when my November issue of Martha Stewart Living magazine {above pic} arrived in the mail. I have used many wonderful recipes from it and especially the “Turkey 101” section that had the step by step guide on how to prepare and cook a turkey. I followed the instructions and cooked my first turkey that year. I was so thrilled that I actually did it {and made gravy too}. The whole process was not as complicated or intimidating as I had envisioned it.
