Enjoying Autumn

 I hope everyone is enjoying autumn.  We have had a slight chill in the air in the mornings, but not enough chilly days to bring out the big sweaters and vests...maybe tomorrow!  Here's a few photos I've posted on Instagram recently.  I'm still running around like a chicken with my head cut off, trying to get settled back in Georgia. 

John Paul...in his new spot on the kitchen counter.

Getting the front porch ready for Halloween...

Nibbles and Bits...for Mama and her little lady friends.


Apple Punch...

Pumpkin Dip*


*Recipe for the Pumpkin Dip:
16 oz canned pumpkin
16 oz cream cheese
2 cups confectioner's sugar
1 tsp pumpkin spice

Mix the sugar and pumpkin spice well and add the canned pumpkin and cream cheese.  Blend all ingredients and chill.  Serve with graham sticks or ginger snaps.  


Trader Joe's Pumpkin Spice Tea...

Our at-home Gameday treats for the FSU - NCState game on Saturday.  Another nerve-wrecking game, but the Noles won!  Oh, and the Bucs won too!  #gobucs 



Thank you for stopping by today. Enjoy the season y'all!

DECORATING THE KITCHEN ISLAND

After all of the Christmas holiday decorations came down, everything in the house looked sooooo empty! I want a very cozy feeling in my cottage, so I'm constantly doing things to make it feel homey! This is the small island in my kitchen--take a peek...
Now y'all, ever since I went to see the movie 'It's Complicated,' I am craving chocolate croissants all the time. I confess that I didn't bake these beauties, I bought them at The Fresh Market Grocers. They are ridiculously good! {If you saw the movie, didn't you just love that scene with Meryl Streep and Steve Martin in her bakery...making those croissants...} By the way, I loved everything about that movie...her home, her kitchen, her bakery, that outfit she wore in the opening scene, Alec Baldwin--oh, I just loved it all!


My assistant in the kitchen here at "The Roost," I would like to introduce to you Jean Paul.


Love bunnies everywhere...


My pot rack...


Love this little rooster, made for me by Nancy at SouthernLady-Nancy...


Y'all know about the gingham issues I have. Here's a cute little gingham runner and some towels hung on the side of the island...


Jean Paul and I both want to say "Merci" for stopping in to visit with us today.
