did I tell you how much I love pumpkin?


I recently stumbled upon this recipe for Pumpkin Risotto.  I think I might try it out this week!

who doesn't like free stuff?

Lately, I have been reading a lot of other people's blogs.  This one I came across recently, informed me about a new Etsy shop.  And the designer is doing a giveaway right now.  Now, I LOVE Etsy.  And I do love fashion.  And more than anything, I love free stuff.  Even if I don't win, I might be purchasing one in the future.....









Buy them here.

one of my favorite things.....

This is truly one of my favorite times of year....right after Halloween leading up to Christmas.  There are so many things that I love about this season - family & friends(most importantly), cooking, the smells, snow(now that I live in Utah...it is guaranteed before Christmas), Christmas music, Christmas lights, hot chocolate, baking....yes, I am not going to lie - one of my favorite things this time of year is the baked goods.  And my favorite ingredient?  Pumpkin.




While the snow was falling outside yesterday, I was inside baking these delicious things.  They are great without frosting, but if you must....this recipe goes great.

all I want to do....

It is snowing outside here in Salt Lake.  And it makes me think about shopping.  Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I have not shopped in awhile.  All I want to do is shop!  And I promise you, as soon as I have a job again - one of these coats will be in  my closet.

I have been thinking about this one for months!  Plus, I need a new leather coat.

This color looks really awesome on me.  And I like the buttons.
Which one should I get?

Zion's in the fall.

While in southern Utah for my half marathon, we didn't pass up a chance to go to Zion National Park.  Check out the fall colors against the red rock....so beautiful!
