Apple Pie and Ice Cream

September 21, 2009

Well maybe minus the Ice Cream, I did a taste test tonight for Apple Pie and a new crust. The pie was decent! I still prefer my grandmas but I would definitely buy this in a pinch instead of making a crust from scratch. I do love to bake but rarely find the time (except for Christmas), and I actually don’t like baked goods that much. However baked goods make great gifts! I usually make at least 4-6 different kinds of cookies around Christmas and Chex Mix (which I do enjoy A LOT of).

After the taste test I was craving fall flavors even more so I made a batch of Pumpkin Protein Cookies from Zesty Cooks E-Recipe Book, the recipe was from Megansmuchies.com- these are really tasty!

I also made a big batch of my a Pumpkin Soup that will be featured on an upcoming guest blog post. This is my go-to fall soup and packs a ton of flavor! Stay tuned for the recipe…

Tomorrow I am working from home, there is a maintenance person coming and they gave the window of 10-2, that is almost really inconvenient for a normal working adult!

Back to Monday, why do weekends always go so fast! It is back to the grind and another busy week. I have a breakfast of a cantaloupe and Blueberry Oikos, although I think this will be the last of the fresh summer cantaloupe.

We have been having a very very warm September and it has been amazing! It was 80 degrees yesterday! I love it :) However, I do love fall and am hoping we still have a nice one and winter doesn’t just show up in October. I tend to crave soup and hearty foods in the fall so I am breaking out the chili. Lunch is Trader Joe’s turkey chili, a few carrots and some veggie chips. A nice hearty lunch for a Monday.

I am doing a taste test this evening, I blind taste a product and get paid between $30 and $50 dollars for an hour of my time! Gotta love that :) Mike is in St. Louis again this week so dinner will be something light and quick since I will not be home until 8.
