Snowshoeing!

We went snowshoeing this past weekend and I can not express how happy it made my heart!  Let me back up.  This was my dear husband's first time snowshoeing.  EVER.  He happily agreed and excitedly embraced the outing.  He is so, so supportive of things I love.  Bless him.  Yes, it rained.  The whole time.  And, the snow was less than ideal.  Yet, we still had a blast.  To top it all off, we used our new Jet Boil for the first time.  Steaming hot chocolate fresh from the Jet Boil while out in the cold is, hands down, the best.

Autumn Rewind

Recently...

Homemade applesauce extravaganza.  Family lovin'.  Fall-time walks.  Photo worthy foliage.  November drizzle.  First snow calm.  Thanksgiving puzzle tradition.  Apple Cup party with great friends.  Delighted husband.  Grateful wife. 

Christmas blessings!

No-Name Treats

I recently decided to make a recipe I came across on Pinterest.  They're colorful, fun, easy, and it's impossible to eat just one. Sure, these delicious little bites can hardly be considered baking or cooking.  They even lack a formal name, and I couldn't think of anything creative to call them. Yet, the salty, chocolaty, crunchy combination is a hands-down winner.  

Three simple, classic ingredients: mini-twist pretzels, Hershey's kisses, and M&M's.
Place one Hershey's kiss on top of each pretzel.
Evidence of the most tedious part.
Just 3 minutes in the oven at 275 degrees.  Remove, and press one M&M into each Hershey's Kiss.
Finished product, after a quick chill in the fridge to solidify things.

Weekend Getaway

We happily welcomed October with a weekend visit to our second home, Lake Wenatchee's Y Camp.  My grandparent's 40 acre gem nestled away on Blewett Pass is the perfect landing place for our occasional jaunts up north.  A weekend complete with cabin dwelling, fire building, fall foliage photographing, charcoal grilling, and wool sock wearing.  Needless to say, we were both quite content.
