Bucket List: Fall Edition

So last week I made a mental fall to-do list and forgot to share it, but I'll have you know that it hasn't stopped me from starting to cross items off said mental list. Which for all of you fellow type-A personality types out there you know I'll be making a list later today just so I can cross these items off. 

I digress. Back to the list.

1. Bake something with pumpkin.

All right so this is not your 'typical' pumpkin recipe because it's more a healthy take on chocolate muffins, but there is indeed pumpkin in them, and they are delicious.Thanks, Mrs. Mac!

Three Ingredient Muffins
 1 box of dark chocolate cake mix
15 oz can of pumpkin
as many dark chocolate chips your heart so desires 

Bake at 350 degrees for 20{ish} minutes-test with a toothpick!

Word to the wise: these muffins will look exactly the same when you take them out as when you put them in so don't feel defeated if some look like craters. They are still delicious.

2. Get outside & enjoy the fresh, crisp air. As often as possible.

I tried to go to an apple orchard with the boy {#3} but go figure, there is an apple shortage so you can't pick your own. However, I will not let this take a toll on the amount of apple crisp I make this fall.

What's on your fall bucket list?

Fall is in the Air



On Friday, my aforementioned awesome roomie and I went to an amazing apple orchard.  I truly could not have asked for a better day.  While we couldn't find the McIntosh apples, we settled for Cortland, and if I do say so myself, made a pretty delish Apple Crisp later that night served a la mode. Nom, nom, nom.  Even though we were the only ones besides parents above the age of 4, we managed to have a jolly 'ole time and took home a bag of apples and some apple cider.  Perfection.

Remember, an apple a day keeps the doctor teacher away :)

What's on your fall bucket list?  Things I still want/hope to do:

1. Corn maze
2. Haunted House
3. Pumpkin Patch
4. Decorate/carve Pumpkins
