Runs on Coffee and Cream

This is delicious! I have plans to make some mixed drinks with it during December.

I received a great parcel from a pen pal filled with amazing treats!

I've spent a good chunk of time in my craft room - prepping for Gateway FanEx and to update Etsy.

Logan has been my fluffy craft assistant.

We stood in line at 7 a.m. to pick up one of these. It's beyond adorable. I didn't realize how small it was. I so badly want to do a photo shoot with the cats with it. Adam seems to think this is a bad idea.

 

It's 'Seymore needs to sleep at our feet' weather!

I hope September's been good to you so far! We still have a few more Fall activities planned for the next couple of weeks which I'm excited for.

Tomorrow is September and that means Fall is around the corner! Eeee!

What do you like to bake in Autumn?

So a little over a month ago I found out that there were Pumpkin Spice M&Ms at Target in the U.S. After screaming about this on twitter, I also found out that there were Candy Corn M&Ms too! Why does Canada not get these fun seasonal treats?!?!

A lovely lady offered to send me a bag of both Pumpkin Spice and Candy Corn M&Ms! I was so excited to get them in the mail. I knew I had to try some M&Ms on their own but I also wanted to bake with them.



After finding this recipe on pinterest, I knew Candy Corn M&M cookies were going to happen! The only thing I changed was I substituted unsweetened applesauce for the oil. The cookies turned out super good! As usual when I add applesauce, the cookies are a bit cakey but we like them like that in this household.




The best part was finding a bigger piece of M&M inside the cookie and the white chocolate would just melt in your mouth. Needless to say, these cookies didn't last too long.



After making these, I also made up some sugar cookies as per Adam's request (as good as they are, they're a GIANT pain in the ass to make) and decided to use some of the Autumn leaves sprinkles I bought at The Bulk Barn.



I earned some points with Adam by adding some almond buttercream to some of the cookies too.



Sugar cookies are not my favourite, but the frosted ones are especially yummy! A week later, though, and I'm still finding little sprinkle leaves randomly throughout my kitchen.

I want to try out so many more cookie and cake recipes this month! Expect at least two more Autumn/Halloween-themed baking posts (not kidding!).

Autumn is in full swing here... at least in our place. I have apple and pumpkin scented candles burning (not at the same time though) and pumpkin scented air room fresheners. Cardigans, knee high socks, and flannel pajama pants have become a staple most days and nights.

I have a package at the post office that's waiting for me and I'm pretty sure it contains some Autumn-themed goodies for me to bake with!

I'm also drooling and loving these other Autumn recipes I've found online. I'm hoping to try most of them over the next couple of months.

Autumn, (I typed Fall first but remembered that not everyone uses that word, so we're going with 'Autumn') is my favourite season! The temperature has dropped drastically here over the last couple of weeks. It's like the heatwave we had in July used up our heat quota for summer. Mornings and evenings have been reminding me of Autumn lately. I tend to have to wear a cardigan during these times of the day right now.


Recently I have found myself wanting to wear clothes and colours and patterns more suited for Autumn. I'm excited to wear leggings with my boots and to pair them with every dress and skirt I own! My boots are calling my name every time I open my closet.
