September 2018

It’s the end of September and almost October. Crazy! If you would have told me in May that I would be doing a happy dance and soaking up this season more than ever before, I would have laughed because I normally scream summer from the rooftops. Fall is trying to be in the running for my favorite season these days. I hope everyone had a great month and here’s our recap of September!

What we’re eating this week:My Winter Greens Salad and Braised Beef Short Ribs.

What I’m reminiscing about:Last year I was pregnant for this apple picking adventure and the only people that knew were Eric and I. We went to hometown fair just days before this where we saw both sets of families without saying a word and numerous friends in the meantime. It was the best kept secret and I cannot believe it was an entire year ago. I could reminisce about this all day long. 

What I’m loving lately:London Fog’s. My Mom and I went to a cafe for her birthday where she ordered one. She asked if I wanted a sip and I proceeded to tell her I didn’t like them. But I gave it a try and loved it! hahah She showed me. 

Now I’m trying to recreate one at home at least weekly. 😉 

What we’ve been up to:Fair season! I have been going to my hometown fair since I was a baby and haven’t missed a year. It was so surreal going as a family of three this year and honestly, it was the best year yet!

What I’m dreading:

Colder temperatures. I feel like we’ve hit a sweet spot and I don’t want it to end. 

What I’m working on AND What I’m excited about:I have TWO giveaways for every single reader, friends, and family coming up! One is to help you snuggle up to fall a little more and the other is for anyone who likes food! (So, everyone!) 😉 Keep your eye out for it! 

What I’m watching/reading:

https://www.countryliving.com/life/a19504301/this-is-us-season-3/

This is Us starting back up. I parked myself on the couch and enjoyed every minute of it! 🙂 

What I’m listening to:

 

What I’m wearing:


Grey Shirt/ Shoes/Jeans/Jacket

What I’m doing this weekend:It’s this guys 30th birthday on Friday so this weekend, we’re celebrating! 🙂

What I’m looking forward to next month:

It’s my birthday and I have a massage scheduled. Is it too early to be excited already? 

What else is new:

If you saw on Instagram, I made a few new recipes lately and they are coming your way. One of them being, breakfast cookies! Get ready. You will love them. 🙂 

What’s your favorite way to eat or drink pumpkin? Hands down, pumpkin bread! (Which I know I’ve only shared 57,349 times).

Apple Cinnamon Pancakes

,

Apple Cinnamon Pancakes--Recipe at: stephanie-spring.comYou don’t need the weekend to roll around to make these but man oh man does it make it extra special. The snail-like pace adds an extra touch to the taste buds if you ask me. 😉 However! Having these pre-made for the week as well is an A++ in my book! Be sure to savor the sweet apple flavor, the sprinkles of cinnamon, and the lip-smacking syrup with the ones you’re eating them with! xo Happy Monday!Apple Cinnamon Pancakes--Recipe at: stephanie-spring.com Apple Cinnamon Pancakes--Recipe at: stephanie-spring.com

Apple Cinnamon Pancakes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Stonyfield Plain Organic Greek Yogurt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup oats
  • 1 apple (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (plus more to sprinkle on top if desired)
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • Maple syrup (for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a skillet, on medium heat, add butter. Let it melt and then add the chopped apple. Stir occasionally for 10 minutes as it becomes tender. *Make sure you stir to avoid burning.
  2. Combine yogurt, eggs, oats, and cinnamon into a blender. Blend until smooth. In a large bowl pour the batter and fold in the cooked apples. Do not skip this step! Adding the apples to the batter once they are in the pan will make it cook unevenly.
  3. In a greased (I used butter) pan, pour batter/apple mixture to desired pancake size at medium heat. Flip the pancake when the edges start to bubble (about one and a half minutes). Cook for about another minute. Top with maple syrup and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Enjoy!

Friday Favorites

,

One.

Ladies! The temperatures have been a little cooler. It is fair season. I had the best milkshake and funnel cake last night. (‘Tis the season!) AND it’s Friday! This weekend we have small group, some down time and we’ll be with friends and family. I have never, ever eagerly welcomed fall so much, which counts as a favorite today!

Two.

I asked all of you on Instagram what baby book you love. I went back and forth as to what I wanted to record special moments and memories. I tried an app, and liked it but didn’t love it since I wanted to add my own personal touch. Multiple people mentioned Promptly Journals. I love the look and although I may not fill out every page, I wanted a space to put some of our newborn pictures along with her firsts. I ordered one and LOVE it!

Three.

If you’ve been around for awhile on here, you know I love First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Face Moisturizer. I finally became a little more wise and started ordering it on Amazon instead of taking a trip to Sephora just for this one item. (Even though a trip to the mall is needed sometimes). It’s still sold through First Aid Beauty and my skin feels so great!

Four.

I’ve used it before when babysitting but knew we didn’t need it right away when Capri was born. She’s getting to the point though where we wanted her to be able to sit up and have our hands free. It’s been a game changer! Favorite, favorite, favorite! Plus, it will be easy to transport when we travel. I ordered the
Bumbo Multi Seat because it lasts 6-36 months instead of just the seat, which only lasts until 12.

Five.Run to your kitchen and makes these now. They’re to die for and they will brighten your weekend instantly! Happy weekend!
