Iced Pumpkin Coffee Cake

Tina2 Comments

And just like that, it’s already November. On November 1st the mall was already decorated for Christmas and some people have already posted pictures on social media that their house is decorated for Christmas.  I have to admit that that totally stresses me out.  It makes me feel like I’m behind on my holiday shopping and decorating.  Does anyone else feel that way?  I’m determined to enjoy these last days of Fall and ignore those early birds (or try to). If you only make one pumpkin goodie this Fall then it must be this coffee cake (excluding pumpkin pie because of …

Oatmeal Latte

I’ve got the perfect breakfast to start your Fall morning. Before I get to the breakfast, let’s talk about the elephant in the room.  I took a little break from blogging.  My husband and I vacationed in Colorado for 10 glorious days and we had an amazing time.  I’m still working on the blog post to share all the deets with you guys and hopefully I’ll have that ready soon. When we got back from vacation I had every intention of jumping right back into blogging but I just wasn’t feeling it.  This is the first time in four years …

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

Tina2 Comments

It’s officially pumpkin and apple season! I’m starting this Fall season with an oldie but goodie recipe… with a little twist.  A couple of years ago I shared a pumpkin bread recipe with you.  It’s full of those traditional Fall time spices and pumpkin flavor and is simply amazing.  Last year I made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.  Do you see where I’m going with this?  I needed to make my pumpkin bread with chocolate chips. Oh my goodness this pumpkin bread exceeded my expectations.  I love the warm spices combined with the sweet chocolate.  I have to admit that I thought …

Stuff I’m Into: Cozy Fall

Tina0 Comments

I can’t believe October is right around the corner.  This is my absolute favorite time of the year. (Sorry if I’ve said that 100 times already. 🙂 )  I thought I’d share with you some ways that I’m getting all cozied up for the season. Cashmere and Suede.  I finally splurged and treated myself to this Charter Club cashmere scarf!  This one can be used as a scarf or a shawl.  I’m pretty sure that I’ll be living in it this Fall and Winter.  I also love a classic pump, especially if it’s suede so these BCBGeneration pumps were a must …

Greek Salad

Tina2 Comments

How do you make a Greek salad? If you ask 10 Greeks how to make a Greek salad you’ll get 10 different recipes.  When my husband and I visited Greece, a Greek salad was considered a plate of feta cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers and maybe olive oil.  If that’s what you’re into then check out my recipe for what I call a genuine Greek salad.  I think at the end of the day, if you have good feta cheese then you can’t go wrong with whatever else you add to the plate. A few weeks ago I had dinner with my parents and my …
