We’re living temporarily in California, so Fall is…different, but we’re still trying to do some of our traditions, like making first-day-of-school chicken pot pie, watching Brian’s Song, and making lots of apple-y and pumpkin-y things. Here are a few fun links from this week!
I don’t know if I’ll get a chance to make these this year, but aren’t they adorable and so easy!??
From Instagram this week – book recs and hospitality how-to’s.
Ohmygosh! I just finished reading My Life in France by Julia Child and then saw this – You Can Spend the Night – and Cook up a Storm – at Julia Child’s Charming French Cottage. Can you EVEN??
If you’re a parent, a great new resource I’ve found is called The Parent Cue. Here is a resource on teaching your kids about gossip that I thought was good!
Lastly, the easiest pumpkin recipe that is better than pumpkin pie! Sorry, I didn’t take a picture when I made these yesterday!
Pumpkin Pie Dessert Squares
Crust:
- 1 Package yellow cake mix (SAVE 1 CUP of dry mix – I always forget this part)
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1 egg
Mix and pat on bottom of greased 9×13 pan.
Filling: Mix 3 cups (1 lb. 14 oz can) pumpkin pie mix (not plain pumpkin), 2 eggs, and 2/3 cup evaporated milk. Pour over crust.
Topping: cut together 1 ts. cinnamon, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup butter. Crumble over filling and bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes.
That’s it for me! What wonderful fall things are you doing or finding! Leave a comment!
Where are you in California? I am a Glen Ellyn girl transplanted here.
We’re in Menlo Park (at least until May ’22)! Where are you?
