baking lists for rudolph day

as i said before, i will be making sugar cookies using pamela's recipe. however, i am adding a few more items to the shopping/baking list this weekend from the "harvest baking" magazine i recently picked up.

fall harvest muffins
BLT salad
cranberry apple chicken sandwiches

these items should be delicious!

my husband and i are doing a 4k walk this weekend for our favorite no-kill animal shelter, and maybe we will be able to head out to the apple orchards!

today is the first full day of autumn - last night was the autumn equinox!

almost there!

well september 1 is just right around the corner, and then we are just three weeks away from the autumn season (officially).

i have some craft supplies ready for one set of craft gifts, and i really need to get baking again. right now, my baked goods baskets will only contain gluten free cranberry orange scones and gluten free chocolate cupcakes. i would like to add an iced sugar cookie if it is possible, and definitely some sort of chocolate truffle. of course we shall see what it comes down to at the end of the season.

pumpkins! (yes, in a christmas blog)

i cannot help but get super excited when i start seeing pumpkins around. the "ber" months are on the horizon.

i took a weekend getaway with my husband this past weekend only to see a few signs advertising the impending harvest. while in the grocery store, i cannot help but stare at the pumpkin and apple items. i cannot wait to dig in.

september 1st cannot get here quick enough, but once we get there... i'd like everything to slow down.

this part of the countdown is the time to savor.
