Fall = Fun + Family + Farms

Fall is definitely one of my most favorites times of the year--the beautiful colors of the leaves, the crisp chill in the air, and of course everything pumpkin! This fall has been especially enjoyable for me, and last weekend was no exception!

My Saturday was dedicated to spending quality time with my ADORABLE sister-in-law, Madison. And let me tell you, it was the ultimate girls' night! We made a trip to Target, where we stocked up on everything--popcorn, candy, princess masks, and more!

We made our princess masks which I must say were pretty awesome!

We also played "beauty salon" and I received the total pampering treatment! I had my hair and nails done. Check out my awesome manicure!

We ended the night with popcorn and a movie, and guess who was the first to fall asleep... ME! That girl totally wore me out! :)

On Sunday morning, we got together with my family and visited Huber's Family Farm in Indiana. Madison loved every minute of it! We got to take a carriage ride in a pumpkin-shaped carriage just like Cinderella. If you knew Madison's obsession with Disney princesses you would realize how exciting this was for her!

She also got to go on a pony ride...

Play in the kids' playground...

And picked a painted pumpkin that she loved.

We had so much fun spending time at the farm and if you ever get the chance to visit Huber's, you definitely should! It was so nice to get to spend time with Madison too--We definitely don't get to spend enough time with her. We had so much fun with her, and by the looks of this picture, she had a pretty good time too!

Until next time...

Yummy BLT Sandwich…My New Addiction!

I have a confession to make…. I’m in love with food! I love buying it. I love cooking it. I love reading about it. And since I began my vegan lifestyle, my interest in new foods has continued to grow. I’m always looking for new recipes to try, and I'm always trying to come up with creative ways to adjust any recipe to make it vegan-friendly. One great source of recipes that I’ve discovered is my “fitness magazine” that I receive monthly in the mail. Every issue offers ideas for lighter healthier meals and recipes.

My New Favorite Sweet Treat...

http://sweetceces.com/index.html Following a vegan diet means no consumption of animal products… No animal products means no dairy… No dairy means no ice cream… And no ice cream means that my selection of sweet and tasty summer treats is extremely limited. But not to fear, Sweet CeCe’s has come to my rescue! Sweet CeCe’s Frozen Yogurt and Treats is a delicious frozen yogurt shop on Bardstown Road in the Highlands (in Louisville, of course). My family and I first tried it a few weeks ago and I immediately fell in love. They have a crazy long list of flavors, and usually offer around 10 different flavors daily, so the available flavors are different each day. They also have a ton of toppings to choose from…Fruit Loops...Snickers… Oreos… Strawberries… Chocolate Chips... Blueberries… Nuts… Pineapple… and of course cherries to top it all off! But the list goes on and on and on… The best part about Sweet CeCe’s for me though, is that they always o...
