apple picking

Sunday, T & I went apple picking at Carver Hill Orchard to celebrate the beginning of fall, on the prettiest day of the year. We were warned that the crop was small this year due to the drought, so we headed as far back as possible and used T's height to our advantage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I decided to give it a try, debated climbing and risking my life for a few apples, but then happened to find a fruit picker laying under a tree in the distance.

 

 

 

 

Before heading home, we stopped into the store to grab some doughnuts. Unfortunately, there was a 30-minute wait, so we decided to watch the doughnuts being made. When the nice man making the doughnuts saw us salivating at the process, he told us to run over to the counter in one minute and he would have some warm, fresh, cider doughnuts that he would time to make sure we got them. The plan worked, and we were able to head out with our toasty, heavenly, half-dozen, nice and crispy on the outside and warm & welcoming on the inside.

simple weekend recap: edition 8

This weekend was apparently filled with food...looking back I guess a LOT of food! Friday on my run out of the house to the car, I stopped to smell the roses...
 

 

and had a nice surprise at work when I heard that the Nutella breakfast tour had their first stop down the street...

 

and to start the weekend on the right foot, I made some banana greek yogurt chocolate chip mini muffins with a hint of peanut butter.

 

 

For Saturday night dinner I made a pork tenderloin with scalloped potatoes (my favorite way to enjoy a potato--recipe for both of these this week!).

 

 

 

When T fell asleep early from a food coma, I decided to make some chai meringues.

 

 

 

Sunday, while Moose enjoyed his outside time, we headed over to Carver Hill Orchard to celebrate the second day of fall.

 

 

 

 Sunday night was taco night...and fresh apple tart night (recipe this week)!
