Fall and Food

Oh how I have missed Fall. The leaves falling, the many different colors of leaves, and different textures. Yes let's talk about texture. Why do I love crunchy leaves? I don't know, but I love to step on leaves and hear them crunch. As I have been training for a half marathon, that has been my enjoyment during my runs now that Fall has come. Weird, I know, but it's the truth.

I'm obsessed with some new recipes that I've tried. First of all, stuffed peppers. Yum! And that's really all I have to say about that. Not sure I'm a huge basil fan, but I reduced it just a bit and LOVE it in the stuffed peppers, as well as, this salmon recipe. The combo was to die for. Ok, I really love salmon too. The other new recipe I've tried recently is this Asian Beef with Snow Peas. Honestly, I didn't have snow peas so I used broccoli. Note to self: cook the veggies separate (not with the sauce). The sauce is great on the beef, not so much on the veggies. Basically, I love allrecipes.com. I type in what I'm looking for and then sort it based on popularity. I tend to get really great recipes that way.

Disclaimer - first thing in the morning picture. I had to post this because it was HILARIOUS. It was a little bit chilly, so I thought I would stick Carly in my robe. She thought it was funny and was smiling and laughing a bit. I stood in front of the mirror so she could see, and she thought it was hilarious.

Little Miss Carly May turns 11 months on the 9th of this month. Wow, I can't believe how time has just flown by. She is just starting to scoot a tiny bit lol. Someday she will crawl... someday. She had her first ear infection this last week. Really sad. But, after just a few doses of amoxicillin, she was a totally different girl. Sleeping and eating much better. More about her on her 11 month post to come!
