Christmas is right around the corner and I haven't gotten any Christmas shopping done! I am not looking forward to crowded malls. We just got our tree up yesterday and it finally feels like Christmas, It's so cozy around here. I love Christmas lights and just put some in our room too, Christmas lights make anything magical. Have you done all your Holiday shopping? Is your tree up?

XOXO

Pinterest Inspo (Halloween)

{ for costumes; how cute and clever is this? }

{ for meal ideas; these mashed bootatoes and ghost pizzas are so easy and cute }

{ for kids; how cool would it be to craft this skeleton with your little one

and then share some mandarin jack o lanterns? }

{ for the home; this wreath is so fabulous in a spooky way, I looove it!  and this
 flower arrangement is everything, you can always count on Martha for inspiration}


I can't believe Halloween is in two weeks! We haven't even gotten our decorations up yet but this year I want to keep it very minimal. Every year we put them up the first day of October but we are far behind this time around. Today we picked up some spider webs and I'm hoping we can pick up some other decorations (and candy) on Friday that way we can be set to put up the stuff by Sunday.

So far I can take off two things off my fall list. The other day I baked the most delicious triple pumpkin cinnamon rolls! I put pumpkin in the dough, the filling and the frosting and they were seriously the best cinnamon rolls I have EVER had. I would share the recipe if I would have gotten some decent pictures but it was late and the lighting was very bad. Also today we went to the pumpkin patch, Maximiliano is in love with pumpkins and he was so happy and excited to see so many of them. We got him a small pumpkin and he has been playing with it nonstop, rolling his little hot wheels on top of it and what not. We will definitely be going back and I will share pictures once I have a little more time.

XOXO

What I've Been Pinning and Making:

cookie: A

I made these.

cookie: B

and these.

They sort of both claim to be the best sugar cookie ever.

To be honest with you they are both a good cookie but

cookie B is by far, waaaaay better and my favorite.

Cookie A's texture is too ugh I don't want to say chewy

because I like chewy! but they were way to soft, I like soft

too but it just didn't feel right. Never the less the flavor was

great and I didn't even get to frost them because they were

all gone in a matter of minutes.

Cookie B though, was absolutely perfect! soft in the center,

crispy on the outside! I also topped them with a cream cheese

icing that was super good and you should totally make these. 

I love that they are almost a hybrid in between a sugar and 

shortbread cookie. I know I will be making them again!

XOXO

Cookie A // Cookie B

These cabbage and carrot noodles with egg from the New York Times

website. I made them for a picnic with friends and everyone absolutely

loved them. Mom approved and whenever she approves something,

I know it's good!

Noodles

This cake was also made for the picnic and was a big hit as well!

Since I laid eyes on this baby, I just knew I had to bake it and

I'm so glad I did. It's light and fluffy, citrusy and topped with

sour cream and pecans! I highly recommend, such an easy bake.

What I've Been Pinning

I know everyone is tired of Halloween posts but these three pins are worth sharing I promise.

Definitely a future costume for Maximiliano, E.T. is one of my absolute favorite

childhood movies, that I'm sure he will love as well.

I don't think this even counts as a Halloween pin, or does it? Pumpkins are just a fall staple...

But then again this is like a pumpkin in a costume! Either way I love it and I plan on painting

one of these donut pumpkins later on today.

I plan on making one of these monsters to put up on our wall, I just think they are

so cute and perfect to keep on the wall year round. Mine is definitely wearing those

cool sunglasses.

Now on what I've been cooking and what I want to be cooking and baking.

I made this home-style chicken noodle soup with slight modification, I used

regular elbow pasta and dried basil instead of parsley and it did not disappoint.

Everyone loved it!

I want to be making these chicken pot pies, real soon. It's the perfect fall comfort food

other than soup and since I hate the frozen kind, these are a must.

These poached eggs in tomato sauce on toast sound amazing and warm perfect for

a chilly morning.

This pumpkin crumb cake is a MUST. It sounds so simple and yummy to pass on.

Hope you all are inspired by these pins just as much as I am.

Have a lovely Sunday!

Ours will probably be spent last minute costume shopping for me, 

pumpkin hunting, carving and listening to Misfits.

XOXO
