On The Job

Last week was really weird. Also very busy. I thought I would share some of my very on the go looks and a little of what I look like on the job. It's all about finding a good pair of shoes! And of course cozy sweaters. Isn't Fall amazing?

Have a wonderful Monday, hope there is a glass of vino at the end of it.

On The Second Day Of Fall We...

Including a martini! I started the week with the pumpkin spice latte and now ending it with a pumpkin cocktail. Low cal? Um no but it's Friday so treat yo self! Here is how to bring some pumpkin to your own Martini Moment:

• 1/2 cup ice
• 1 oz Salted Carmel Vodka
• 1.5 oz Bailey's Irish Cream
• 1/3 cup skim milk (use half and half if you'd like it thicker)
• 3 tbsp pumpkin puree
• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• cinnamon and sugar (for the rim)

1. In a shaker combine ice, vodka, Bailey's, milk, and pumpkin puree and spice.
2. Shake it!
3. Using a napkin wet the rim of the martini glass. Mix equal parts cinnamon and sugar, then roll the rim.
4. Pour delicious martini into the glass.
5. Thoroughly enjoy. 

Now today's Martini Moment is a little DIY décor. It's SO fast and SO easy! Simply get a fish bowl vase or any type of glassware you have laying around, and anything that screams fall. Add a candle of your choice and enjoy sipping that martini!

Have a wonderful first weekend of this amazing season! I hope you have a second to cuddle up in your favorite place with a drink, cozy sweater, and a moment to yourself. Cheers!

This is in my sitting room and one of my favorite places in the house. So many great conversations had here.

Happy Fall To All!

Happy Fall!
It's finally here!

 I can officially ramble on and on about all things pumpkin and faux fur!

Now that I have that out of my system today along with our front porch I'm sharing the wreath that I made, and my favorite chili recipe. Because nothing says fall like chili.

Here is my little fam in front of our door so ready for cooler weather! 

It isn't the first day of fall if that doesn't include chili! Like I said yesterday I have been cooking up a storm! I've shared a few chili recipes before but this one is slightly different in that it contains faux meat. But you cook it the same way.  To stay on the healthy side if you are using regular meat use turkey or really high quality ground beef. Here's the quick healthy recipe:

1 pound meat of choice  

1 small onion and a couple garlic cloves minced  

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 can diced tomatoes  

1 can tomato sauce  

1 cup broth

2 tbsp chili powder ( I use a good but because I like it spicy) 

1 1/2 tbsp garlic salt

3 tsp cumin

2tsp oragano  

Let the oil, onion, and garlic simmer for a couple minutes (until the onions are translucent) and then add your meat. After it browns add in everything else. I like to let it cook for up to two hours. Which is great because while that's cooking you can go to other things.  

Fast tip: if you like sour cream on chili opt for Greek yogurt instead for a healthier low cal choice. I add garlic salt and parsley to mine.  

I guess it's time to find a pumpkin patch to frolic in!
