I have to apologize to you guys, I’m getting asked Ella respectfully where tf are the pumpkin recipes??? I got overwhelmed with the amount of pumpkin recipes that were coming in September when it was still summer and kind of became contrarian and instead stuck with all tomato recipes until the very last second, but I am leaning in now. Late to the party but hopefully not too late. It’s pumpkin time baby. the ultimate baked good. a combination of my favorite things—pumpkin loaf x banana bread.

Deep Dives farms, eats, activities & foilage!!!! I am still pinching myself on how magical our little weekend getaway upstate was. It was just perfect. As a girl born&raised in California, an East Coast fall is straight out of a fairytale for me. LIKE HOW IS THIS REAL!!!! THE COLORS!!! Although the timing slightly shifts every year, and it depends on exact location, right about now the foliage is starting to reach it’s peak.

Heyyyy happy happy October!!! New month means new seasonal produce… & what a gooood month it is.

Monthly Top 10 Favorites my top 10 favs lineup We’ve made it to the end of September, my favorite month! The month where summer turns into fall, and now tomorrow will be our first officially all-fall month, exciting! loafers & leaves September&October are some of my favorite months of the year, if you can’t tell from me saying it for the billionth time…I love fall so much. The coziness, the food, and the treeees it just makes me so happy.

Bringing back one of my favorite morning rituals, especially now that the weather is getting cozier—my warming, iron-rich, black sesame cacao latte. Mhmmm. It’s rich, it’s creamy, and it’s full of iron, which is something I have been trying to intentionally consume more of lately. Our bodies don’t produce iron on their own, and especially as menstruating women who bleed every month, it’s important to be supporting our bodies iron stores.

It’s time to put away the ice cream maker and break out the dutch oven because fall is officially in session! It’s actually crazy how quickly the weather shifts and I am needing to wear my wool socks and a hoodie around the house, turning off my AC, and bundling up in a scarf just to go outside. Already seeing all the gorgeous apples and pumpkins and squash in abundance at the market. Made a banana bread last night in celebration. It’s timeeee.

I have been in my cozyyy hot creamy cup of coffee era. Something about it when the weather starts getting a little chilly…it’s like pure warmth & nourishment in a cup. and what goes better with coffee than coffee cake? If you need an excuse to have cake for breakfast, this is it. We’re ringing in the new season with pure pleasure. Today’s coffee cake is a vanilla bean & cardamom walnut coffee cake (with a matching latte).

I am starting to feel that crispppp chill in the air! We’ve gotten to that point in the year where you need a jacket in the morning but you’ll be sweating through it by the afternoon. That lil brisk kiss of wind we do get in the morning & evenings is really getting me excited for fall. I’m getting ready to admit summer defeat. Pumpkins…..I am coming in HOT.
