I LOVE Saturdays like this:

I LOVE Saturdays like this:
· No plans
· No alarm
· Chilly, fall morning
· Drinking coffee leisurely by the warm fire (ok, I know it’s not that cold yet, but mom and I did start the fire for about 15 minutes to get the chill out of the house this morning. We still haven’t turned on the heat)
· Trying new recipes
· Football (however, my team lost)
· Time for crafts
· A trip to Target
· NO phone calls (sometimes it’s just nice to be quiet!)
Craft Projects: I found the directions for these cute pumpkins on one of my favorite blogs here. They are super easy and I really love them. I feel so productive too!

(please excuse the dust on my bookshelves)

The Process...



Now for the food, all of these recipes can be found here:

Sweet Potato Chips and Blue Cheese Dip

Corn Pudding

Sweet Potatoes

Chili...don't make the same mistake I did. The recipe calls for 3 canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce I put in 3 cans of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Of course my version was much too hot to actually eat! I tried to tone down the overwhelming heat but ended up having to separate this big pot into 3 separate batches to put in the freezer. Then when I'm ready for chili again I'll use it as an already seasoned base to start a new pot. I can't believe I did that! It's something my mom would do!

Your pumpkins are adorable!! I love the font choices.

You do feel so productive when you finish them, don't you?

Thanks for letting me know that you'd made them.
