Favorite Fall Meal

Brussel sprouts, apples, sweet potatoes & bacon! The foundation of the easiest meal ever! Throw some chicken on top, pop it into the oven and you are done!

What did we do before Pinterest? Seriously, I am 3 for 3 on meals so far this week and it's all thanks to Pinterest. Okay back to the dinner at hand! I discovered the "One Pan Autumn Chicken Dinner" last fall and it became a staple in our dinner rotation. It's not only husband approved but it's healthy and full of flavor. You can prep everything the night before and then when you get home from work throw it all together, stick it in the oven and 30 minutes later you'll be eating a delicious meal. Check it out, you won't be disappointed!

I'd love to hear what your go to fall recipes are!

Weekend.

Happy Monday friends! On the way to work this morning I cranked up the 90s on 9 station on XM and belted out every song that came on. If you need to get motivated for the week ahead of you, I recommend doing that.

Our weekend was low key and just what we needed. After traveling last weekend and looking ahead to our upcoming weekend we are going to busy so we spent our time together, running errands and relaxing!

1. I was on the hunt for mums and to look at pumpkins. I couldn't find any mums I liked so I left without both. I will find some soon!

2. While looking for Fall decor, I couldn't help and admire the Christmas decor that is already being set out. I won't lie I LOVE Christmas and would put my tree up tomorrow if I could. I tried to buy some decor on Friday night at TJ Maxx, Drew told me I was crazy so I put it back. I did however have him convinced to buy a new Christmas tree on Saturday but he lucked out because I couldn't find one I liked.

3. Homemade Mint Julep courtesy of my husband. He even made the simple syrup himself! He's a good one I tell ya!

4. Drew is a massive Chicago Cubs fan so we spent Friday & Saturday night watching baseball + I just love postseason baseball. I'm a St. Louis Cardinals fan myself but I can't help to admit that I'm cheering for the Cubs to go all the way (also the Cards are out, boo). I even told Drew if they make it to the World Series I'll wear Cubs gear.

Go blast some 90s pop & have a great week!

Pass Me The Wine: It's Friday

via

Actually just pass me the bottle because it's been one of those weeks! Have you ever had a week where your days have been extremely busy but they just drag on which causes the entire week to drag on? That was mine. I'm in serious need of some good wine recommendations so ladies let me hear them!

one.

Let's talk about dog safety. Monday evening I was taking out Kolby & Max for their evening walk. We live in an apartment complex where we have very defined pet policies. As I'm walking my properly leashed babies an unleashed german shepard runs out from an apartment whose door was wide open and attacked my sweet 20 pound baby Kolby. I've thanked the universe everyday sense then that he wasn't seriously hurt and only had minor abrasions. BUT people, if you live somewhere, where there are policies put in place for animals ABIDE BY THEM! The apartment owner just had their first floor patio door open which allowed their animal the opportunity to break free and cause harm. Leash your animals and pick up their poop. Being a responsible pet parent is not hard. I firmly believe if you can't leash or clean after your animal you have no business having one.

two.

Since the attack I've rushed home everyday after work to be with Kolby and Max which means I haven't been grocery shopping which really means we have no food. Is it odd that I'm excited to sit down tonight and write out my list to go shopping tomorrow. Who am I?

three.

True life: I put on my blanket scarf to wear this morning.

Truer life: It's supposed to be 90 degrees today so I took it off and put on a vest instead....

I've been married for a year and a half and have been fortunate enough that I haven't had to deal with people asking me when we're going to have children or telling me I should have children. Well that streak ended the other night when I was talking to my little brother and he felt the need to tell me that it was time for me to have children; our parents needed a grandchild and he wanted to be an uncle. When I told him he was crazy and that I have fun trips planned next year and that a baby just wasn't in the cards anytime soon he called me selfish to which I replied, "Yes, yes I am" and that my friends is okay. So, sorry not sorry William.
