I have to tell you, Fall is my favorite time of year. I love the smells and the colors, I love the change outside in the leaves, and I love that it is cooler!
Around this time of year, I find myself baking with cinnamon and cloves a lot more than usual ( and that is a lot for me! ) I am addicted to cinnamon. I pretty much add it to everything I can because it is by far my favorite spice.
Today, I went a little nuts and made a pumpkin cream cheese loaf, as well as pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. A little insane? Probably.
Add that to the apple pie and pumpkin pie lip gloss I bought myself at Bath & Body Works yesterday, and I'd say I'm ready for Fall!
It is a little silly? One day I'm going to theme my house in reds and golds, and keep Indian corn in baskets on my end tables. Another fun thing I do is pull out my two favorite Halloween movies and watch them until November: Casper and Hocus Pocus. I used to watch those all the time as a kid; they always got me psyched up for trick-o-treating. The funny thing is, because I'm from Alaska, trick-or-treating ended up happening in the dark with my costume covered up by boots, snow pants, and a parka. Haha, here I always thinks its crazy when I see little kids going door to door in the daylight actually showing their costumes.
Anyhoo, if you want to brighten your day and make your house smell fabulous, check out JoyOfBaking.com and find yourself a nice pumpkin recipe!
