What’s Up Wednesday + September
What we’re eating this week:
It was chilly this week. Ugh. BUT…this was perfect to eat for the cold weather and the fact that we had an abundance of tomatoes and basil.Â
If you missed any of my recipes this month you can check them out below:

What I’m reminiscing about:
Ohhhh those summer days.

What we’ve been up to:
A lot of this and a lot of that. 😉Â
What I’m dreading:
Second round of allergies? The first round came early this year and I know another one is coming.Â
What I’m working on:
I’m teaming up with Stonyfield and have a lot of yummy recipes coming your way soon!
What I’m excited about:
Birthdays! There are so many people celebrating their birthdays starting today and into the next month. I love it!
What I’m watching/reading:
My sister text me saying I had to watch this show because it’s the best one she’s seen in awhile. She was so right! Eric and I both watched it and loved it! SO GOOD!
 Also, football has been on a lot in our home and math manuals have basically been the extent of my reading for the month.Â
What I’m listening to:
Matt Kearney.
What I’m wearing:
These pajamas! I also love these and these!
What I’m doing this weekend:
Each year Eric’s parents get the the guys (and their families) who Eric played baseball with in college together for a picnic. Love this crew! And we have a wedding. Shocker. 😉Â
What I’m looking forward to next month:
We have a little getaway planned and I am SO excited!Â
What else is new:
Some days I feel like there is a lot that changes each day and then day by day life feels so much the same. For now, I’m completely fine with that!
Bonus Question: What is your favorite fall recipe?Â
My Pumpkin Pecan Bars would have to take the cake this year. I know you are probably sick of hearing about them but I am not sick of eating them. 🙂Â
Have a wonderful Wednesday!Â
Today we’re talking all about our favorite entertainment! I’m simply going to break it down and can’t wait to see what everyone else shares. I’m in need of some new entertainment recommendations. 😉
Books: I’ve listed these before in my island post,
I love all of these so much!
The other week I shared three of
Friday, I love you and I’m so glad you’re here. As always I’m linking up with 


I knew the cooler weather was quickly approaching, so I decided to dive head first into all things fall. I also knew the days would be fast paced and leave little wiggle room once the school year started. I’ve been on a bar kick and wanted to create a fall bar that didn’t take long to make and was good for me. It’s basically a fall party in your mouth. I’m slightly obsessed with them and you will be too after the first bite. 🙂
Oh and that pumpkin smoothie in the background is right 


Confession: I used to hate coconut and have no idea when i actually grew out if it. I wish I could say it was more than just a few years ago but it wasn’t. I gradually incorporated it into things I ate and have grown to love it. In fact, I crave it and find ways to use it in any recipe!
