Fall Home Tour

I love decorating for Fall! I adore the rich tones and natural elements. I use real leaves, pine cones, branches and pumpkins (of course!) as often as I can! We’ve already been to a few different pumpkin patches already this season and intend on visiting a few more 😉

Follow along with me as I incorporate a little bit of Fall into my {home}.

I just can’t get enough of pumpkins this year! The kids are loving them too so it feeds into my obsession! I’ve also added a few mercury glass pumpkins to my collection that I’m just swooning over ♥ ♥

Thank you so much for sticking around and touring my home with me!

1. This centerpiece is absolutely stunning! It’s the perfect Fall arrangement, including hydrangeas and white pumpkins! The colors are breathtaking and delicate for this time of year! Yvonne from StoneGable is sharing her stunning Fall Home Tour, you won’t want to miss it!!
2. White, white, white! The French Country style of this bedroom just screams perfection! I adore everything about this bedroom! I could certainly see myself cuddled up here in the evenings with a nice cup of hot cocoa, catching up on my magazines or reading a book!
3. More French Country glam! I love the mix of rod iron, mercury glass, candles and fresh flowers! Such a simple setup, yet so gorgeous!! You don’t have to invest in costly centerpieces for parties or get-together’s, just grab a variety of small candle holders and illuminate with a tea light, add fresh flowers to a ornate vase and add a pretty tray if you have it! Sometimes it’s the simple things that can make a big impact 🙂
4. Ahh, I just adore white pumpkins! So many gorgeous tones this year, these appear to have a hint of blue in them! We have visited a few pumpkin patches, and intend on a few more this season! I love checking out each places variety of pumpkins! Have you been to the pumpkin patch yet?

Apple Crisp

September 30, 2013 by Fotini Filed Under: apple crisp, dessert, fall, Fall dessert, Fall recipe, recipes 13 Comments

Let me start off by saying this recipe is NOT diet friendly, but it is sooo tasty! A few weeks back we enjoyed a relaxing dinner at my in-laws. My mother-in-law baked a deeelicious apple crisp for dessert and I was quickly asking for the recipe! Lucky for you, I’m sharing it today (wink!)

If you haven’t been already, plan a fun afternoon to go apple picking with the family to gather some of the delicious fruit for this recipe! For this recipe I used gala apples, but any kind will do!

Begin by slicing your apples, I use an apple slicer which makes this part a breeze! If you prefer, peel your apples too, I leave mine on 🙂 Add the apples to a mixing bowl and sprinkle with the lemon juice to keep them from browning. Next add sugar, flour, nutmeg, cinnamon and apples, mix well. Pour this mixture into a buttered 9×13 casserole dish. In a separate mixing bowl mix together the melted butter, flour, white & brown sugar and oatmeal, mix thoroughly and add to the apple mixture as the topping. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. Let cool at least 10 minutes before serving. To really top this delicious dessert off, add a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, mmm mmm!

Do you have a favorite family apple crisp recipe? If so, I’d love to hear it so please share 🙂

Happy Friday!! I am thrilled it’s the weekend, I’m sure you are too!

Thanks for starting your weekend out with me 🙂 This week I’m sharing a few of my favorite pins that remind me Fall at it’s finest!

1. I’m absolutely in love with the variety of pumpkin colors this year! Maybe I just never payed much attention in previous years, but I’ve been spotting them so much this year ♥ I’m crazy about the ones Marian, aka, Miss Mustard Seeds displays hers! Her entire Fall setup if just breathtaking! Believe me, you don’t want to miss it 🙂

2. One thing that signifies Fall to me is warm apple cider, spiced lattes and hot chocolate! I love the idea of setting up a coffee/cider/hot chocolate bar for the entire family to enjoy! It eliminates “stuff” from the kitchen, but better yet, it looks darling! It would be fun to have some friends over and do a themed bar with different mix ins!

3. Really loving this polka dot fabric!! Isn’t it the cutest? Add some flare to your home decor by adding a fun print like this to an old (or even new!) chair! With a pattern like this, it’s easy to change pillows for each season and it easily pairs with brights and neutrals!

4. Silhouette pumpkins ♥ ♥ As if they didn’t already have me because they’re white, they totally got me with those darling little faces 😉 These would make the perfect display or centerpiece for Thanksgiving! I love the technique that Jen from City Farmhouse uses for this project! The possibilities are truly endless!

Pumpkin Pie Muddy Buddies

September 23, 2013 by Fotini Filed Under: dessert, fall, Fall desserts, Pumpkin Pie muddy buddies, puppy chow, recipe-1, recipes 5 Comments

Fall is full of tons of yummy recipes and today I have one to share with you! I tend to keep munchies around the house because the kids and hubby like to snack and like a nibble of something sweet after dinner! This recipe would be perfect for a Halloween party, Fall get together or even as a sweet gift for the neighbors!

Here’s what you’re going to need:

Cinnamon and original Life multigrain cereal
1/4 cup of butter
1 cup of white chocolate chips
Pumpkin pie spice
1- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Begin by melting the butter and white chocolate over low heat in a saucepan. Once completely melted and smooth, remove from heat. I decided to do a mixture of cinnamon and original multigrain cereal. Begin by adding a layer of cereal, then pour the white chocolate mixture and top with a little dash of pumpkin pie spice, continue with the remaining ingredients. Mix well to coat cereal entirely. Top with powdered sugar and mix well. I didn’t add as much powdered sugar to this batch because the white chocolate is rich and didn’t want it to be too much!

Enjoy 🙂
