- The SLC sunsets have been awesome lately.
- Our boys are on fall break, but we aren’t going anywhere because we have football playoffs on Saturday. Do you get a fall break?
- If you are carving pumpkins this year, this set is helpful.
- Caleb and Maxwell are having some friends over for dinner this weekend and requested this recipe. Good choice.

- On the blog this week, a cozy fall snack, a meal prep dinner winner, and a comforting soup!
- Today is the start of our fall break which means healthy pumpkin pancakes for breakfast! I hope to make my pumpkin chocolate chip muffins this weekend too! Bring on the pumpkin!
- I love the pockets on this jacket.
- I can’t wait to watch the new season of The Diplomat. I am also starting a Diane Keaton movie marathon. There are so many good ones.
- Halloween things: fun plates, a ghost snack box, and candy eyeballs to make my chocolate monster cookies (or classic monster cookies) or use them on a Halloween snack board.
- I talked about this on Instagram yesterday, the Costco Kirkland peanut butter has been discontinued and I am SO sad because it’s my favorite peanut butter. A few people told me it might be back next year, but for now there is a different organic peanut butter. Has anyone tried it? What are your thoughts?
- I’m currently wearing (and loving) this skin tint with SPF. I apply it with the best makeup brush.
- This sweater is fun! I also love this cozy zip-up!
- A gorgeous fall salad.
- I need this cooling rack.
- A good pair of dress pants (these are fun too) and I love this trench coat color for fall.
- The green kitchen!! How fun!
- Speaking of kitchens, the best movie set kitchens of all time. #4 is my favorite.
- Heads up, Rothy’s clogs are on sale! They are so comfortable.
Wow Caleb and Maxwell know what they like- Chicken Tikka Masala will be an incredible meal to share with their friends. I’m guessing they will still have room for their favorite dessert, especially with all of your cookie options, Maria!
It’s one of their favorite meals:)
Hey girl- Such a great list! Cute clothes and yummy food! Y’all have fun on fall break.
Thank you!
Mmmmm are those monster cookies in the photo?
Yes! They are so good!
Is there a way to make the Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bars nut free?
You can use sun butter or try leaving out the nut butter, but I haven’t tested the recipe that way. If you do leave out the nut butter, I would add a little extra pumpkin, but the texture might be different.
Just wanted to say hi and I love all your new fall recipes thanks and have a great weekend
Thank you so much Annette.
