Fall is here


My favorite season is fall. I am so happy it is here. I just wanted to share some of my favorite thing that come with this awesome season. The best desserts are in the fall. One of our family favorites is pumpkin roll, I make this 4-5 times a season. I love pumpkin anything so if you have some wonderful pumpkin recipes please pass them on. My friend Brooke also got me addicted to a dessert that is an apple cake with warm sauce. I made it for Enrichment last week and it was a hit. One of my favorite memories as a kid was driving up provo canyon when the leaves where changing. It is the most beautiful sight. Take time this fall for all you locals to drive up Provo canyon with the kids and stop and collect some leaves. Kiah and I were both born in the fall, so we have 2 fun birthdays we celebrate every fall. Halloween is my all time favorite holiday ever. I go over and beyond every year. I usually make all the kids costumes, I do my best house decorating , and when the kids get home we have hot chocolate. Last Halloween we went to 4 parties the week of halloween. When Erick and I were young married and money was tight we had apples with carmel dip once a week and apple spiced cider that is a memory I will always remember every fall. My favorite colors are fall colors. Well I just shared some of the things I love about fall. I would love to hear what you have to say.

I love fall too! Especially in Utah. I agree that there is nothing like driving up in the canyon during the fall in Utah. It's just not the same here in WA...it's just wet.

I just bought the stuff to make the apple cake! Glad you love it!

I love the fall, too. I love to burn pumpkin spice candles and make fall treats. A couple for you to try:


"Caramel" Apple Dip

8 oz. cream cheese
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla

(I think you had this at my house for a RS meeting now that I think of it. I have a friend who adds toffee chips to this, too)


Pumpkin Dip

1 cup canned pumpkin
1 small package instant vanilla pudding
1 small container cool whip
pumpkin pie seasoning to taste (about 1 tsp)

Mix and dip apples and graham crackers - yummy - Savannah got this one from her preschool in VB

Miss you guys!
