I am longing for fall

I've been longing for fall, which is pretty comical because I've been sick for the majority of this month and have barely left my house a handful of times. So to say I've endured the heat isn't exactly true! Ha! However it seems the older I get the more I long for fall and spring. When I was a kid it was all about summer and winter! Now as time passes I seem to appreciate the shorter seasons of fall and spring. They seem fleeting which is probably why I want to cling to them!

Since I can't feel fall where I am because we are still having 100 degree weather here, I've been coming across some beautiful fall/harvest time recipes online. My new obession is Pinterest. Which is AMAZING. Its where you can "pin" just about anything you want. I have found so many recipes I want to try, blogs I want to read, and I've seen soo many beautiful photos of places I want to visit! The site is by invite only though, BUT, I can send you an invite if you'd like one. Just comment below with your email and that you want a pinterest invite and I will send one your way!

One special dish I made to share around Thanksgiving were Caramels! They were delicious homemade, and I've had requests to continue making them. However this year I think I might switch it up. I found a recipe for Apple Cider Caramels at an amazing blog. Just click the name of the recipe and it should take you right to it! Simple huh?

Don't those look amazing?! That is for sure going to be made this year! I can't wait!

Another crazy thing I've come across is the Starbucks secret menu!!!! I knew some places had secret menus but I had no idea Starbucks was one of them! Now I feel deprived, like I've missed out on this for so long! Hahaha! Anyway I thought Id let you guys in on the secret so I'll add it below!
Alright loves! Its time for me to take some more medicine but I want to leave with you with a few fall inspired photos!




Wishing you cool breezes with no sniffles and smells of spice in your kitchen!
Love,
V

time marches doesn't it?

Its been so long since Ive been able to get on here. When I left you I had just been married and was sick..... Well as it turns out I am sick again! Man! But since then We've moved and have been preparing for deployment. And as you know life never stops because your busy! But I wanted to touch base and hopefully get back to seeing you more and more on here. I hope this blog post finds you safe and healthy and happy!
