<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">How have you been darlings? My life has been a wonderful, busy mess. There are times that this month seems to be moving in fast forward while there are also other quiet moments with Mac where the world seems to stop for a second. These quiet moments are my favorite...picking out our Christmas tree, turning on the Christmas lights for the first time, and cozy morning chats looking out through frosted windows. This is always a time for looking back and reflecting but this year especially I am savoring the quiet mornings and giving thanks for all that we've been given. </span></div>

But I am so happy to be back at home and getting my days in order. I am sorry to have left the blog for a couple weeks but I am back in action now and can't wait to start blogging again. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Hello October happiness! This cake is making me smile today and the rest of the photos at <a href="http://www.sprinklebakes.com/2014/10/candy-corn-tuxedo-cake.html">Sprinkle Bakes</a> are equally adorable. The month of October has been going by so fast this year that I'm happy to have some reminders of Halloween, pumpkins, and to think of all the little one's planning their costumes. I absolutely love the nostalgia that Halloween holds and this cake brings that all rushing back for me. I don't know that I'll have time to create something like this but maybe I'll whip up her cupcakes for a party we're going to at the end of the month. What are some of your favorite nostalgic Halloween memories?</span></div>

Mac and I will be at a wedding this weekend but I hope we get the chance to whip one of these up next week because it sounds delicious. To top it off the photos made me feel like I was taking a mini break from my day. Apple happiness!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Darlings, this week I don't think I could survive without coffee and I know <a href="http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/house-and-home/good-morning-beautiful-mug-by/882709092797-item.html">this mug</a> would make my early mornings even better. Last week was busy followed by a weekend out of town and an even busier week this time. Now it's time to get ready for a wedding weekend out of town, a week working from Southern California, and another wedding weekend. October, here we go! Anyone ready for another cup of coffee? </span></div>

This quote in particular is my happy place, it always sums up how I feel this time of year.

Isn't <a href="http://www.ashleymarieskitchen.com/2014/09/pumpkin-caramel.html">this pumpkin caramel</a> absolutely to die for? The recipe looks fantastic and almost makes me wish I was going to be at home this weekend so I could whip up a batch. Oh well, there's always next week. This weekend Mac and I are off to meet the family in Ventura, stay at our favorite B & B and enjoy cocktails <a href="http://www.thetavernventura.com/">here</a>! What are your plans this cozy October weekend?</span></div>

I can't wait to keep the celebrations with family coming into town for an autumn pumpkin filled weekend including friends joining us tomorrow night for cake, cocktails, and our favorite spooky movies!

A Manhattan with a splash of apple, yes! Only thing I would change is to substitute fresh apple cider for apple juice. My brother, his wife, and an old friend are coming into town this weekend to celebrate my birthday, get pumpkins, more cider, and eat cake. I can't wait to sip on the big apple, along with <a href="http://brigetteliliana.blogspot.com/2014/09/weekend-cocktail-bourbon-bomber.html">this</a>, as we watch scary movies and welcome in October! </span>Brigette Olmos-Arreolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10674134459835584542noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095537552747869684.post-28106127482112026962014-10-01T06:30:00.000-07:002014-10-01T06:30:00.889-07:0029 Years Of Gratitude <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Darlings October is here which means it's also my birthday! Every birthday reminds me of how much I have to be grateful for. So much has changed over the last year. Mac and I finally got to move to the Central Coast, we're living in a house we love, I have a new job, and I have even more amazing people in my life. Looking back at my <a href="http://brigetteliliana.blogspot.com/2013/10/28-years-of-gratitude.html">last birthday</a> I never would have imagined all that has happened this year. Here's to the unexpected, the people that make life brighter, and taking on the last year of my twenties! Time for bubbles! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Get ready for your new favorite fall recipe. This weekend I took my cousin and his girlfriend to a local apple orchard that makes <i>the best</i> apple cider. When I woke up yesterday morning I was craving doughnuts and knew we had just enough cider left to make a batch of these little gems. So I grabbed my <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Wilton-Nonstick-12-Cavity-Mini-Donut/dp/B004CYELQ4">mini doughnut pan</a>, brewed some coffee, and got to work! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I've made <a href="http://brigetteliliana.blogspot.com/2012/11/homemade-apple-cider-doughnuts.html">apple cider doughnuts</a> before but these are even easier for a relaxed morning. Baked and not fried which means they're ready to go in 30 minutes! I'm so glad I took the time to adapt <a href="http://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2013/11/07/apple-cider-donuts/">this recipe</a> because I'm going to be making it all autumn. Recipe after the jump. Happy apple season!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Pour the batter into your pan,

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Holly autumn apple batman! These <a href="http://www.dessertnowdinnerlater.com/2014/09/brown-sugar-glazed-apple-scones/">brown sugar apple scones</a> look exactly like what I need this morning. Short story, somehow last night a mosquito got into my bedroom around midnight. After waking up every hour hearing it buzz by my face I woke up this morning with two lovely mosquito bites on my face one of which is making my right eye completely swollen. In short, I need a scone badly. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This might just be a great weekend for these scones. My cousin is coming into town with a friend to see the local pumpkin patches and apple orchards. I'll be meeting up with them tomorrow evening for a pre-birthday dinner (I can't believe my birthday is next week)and showing them some of my favorite spots. I'm so happy to have some time to catch up with my cousin especially since Mac will be out of town until next Tuesday. What are your weekend plans?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">What better way to use up the last of the figs on my trees than with this delicious cocktail! This flavor combination looks perfect for the first week of autumn, especially since it's supposed to still be in the 70's here. I have to admit I've never been a fan of fresh figs but I'm loving them in syrups and jams. Who knew getting a house with fig trees would make me try knew things. </span></div>

This afternoon I am off to my friend K's <a href="http://www.flyingcaballos.com/index.php">wedding location</a> to coordinate the rehearsal, eat some fabulous food, soak in the hot tub, and sleep in the old farm house. Then it's up bright and early Saturday morning to coordinate her wedding. After being friends for 22 years I can't wait to see her marry the man of her dreams! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Darlings, I don't know about you but every now and then my desk needs a little pick-me-up and these autumn touches hit the spot! Trying to make space in my home office for all of the pictures and personal touches I had in my old office is difficult as my home office is also our guest room. So adding these seasonal details and a reminder to enjoy everyday helps to make it feel like a cozy office space without taking up too much room. How do you personalize your desk?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Darlings, what a week! This week has been delightfully busy and I can´t wait to slow down a little this weekend. These crepes look like the perfect treat for this evening. We just got a new TV and we´ll be watching one of my favorite autumn movies The Trouble With Harry. If you haven´t seen it all I can say it it´s nostalgic foliage joy. Other than this evening I´ll be working on some DIY gifts, organizing my closet, and helping to make a friend´s wedding cakes! What are your plans for the weekend?</span><br />

We made something similar to this last year after getting cider from a <a href="http://www.seecanyonwedding.com/">local apple orchard</a>. It was delicious but needed a little something extra, turns out it was lemon zest and bitters. This looks like the perfect September cocktail!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">P.S. I would personally go without the agave this recipe asks for. I love the sweetness of the apple cider alone. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Darlings, how scrumptious does this fig frangipane tart from <a href="http://jillianleiboff.blogspot.com/2011/04/fig-frangipane-tart.html">Jillian Leiboff</a> look? As I mentioned <a href="http://brigetteliliana.blogspot.com/2014/09/weekend-cocktail-fig-manhattan.html">yesterday</a> our backyard is overflowing with figs and I need to use those babies up. Mac will be out of town for the week starting on Sunday so I think it will be time for yoga, a pedicure, and a little baking. What's better for a mid-week girls night then a prepared fig tart? Well, maybe some white wine to go with it. What are your plans for the weekend? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Doesn't this sound like a perfect September cocktail? The fig tree in our backyard is overflowing and I have been looking for ways to use up all our figs. This weekend I think I'll be making fig jam, fig tarts, and probably <a href="http://imbibemagazine.com/Fig-Syrup-Recipe">fig simple syrup</a> which is where this Manhattan comes in. I love manhattans like <a href="http://www.bulleit.com/bulleit-drinks.aspx#!bulleit-rye-manhattan">this recipe</a> and I think adding a dash of fresh fig syrup would hit the spot. What do you think?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Darlings, autumn is approaching and to me that means boots! Last year I found my dream pair of boots with these gorgeous <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/frye-melissa-button-boot/3033602">Frye's </a>and the last month I've been searching for the perfect pair of ankle boots. What do you think of <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/shoes-boots/33417809.jsp#/">these beauties</a>? I'm in love. Of course they're from Anthropology and close to $200 but they just may be worth it. I was also drawn to <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/shoes-boots/32417834.jsp#/">these lovelies</a> but they may be too similar to my Frye's. Do you have any ankle boots that you love? I'd love to hear about your favorites! </span></div>
