A Fally Weekend
Are you guys enjoying the Autumn? I sure am! Last Saturday I had a blissful day in the kitchen with Em, preparing a dinner with friends. We made: Tomato and Butternut Squash soup, the yummiest bread (see recipe HERE), corn bread, fruit and feta salad, gluten free chocolate cupcakes and mini apple pies.
If felt like a Thanksgiving preview with two people in the kitchen, listening to music, sipping diet coke and feeling cozy with the warmth from the oven. I especially enjoyed making the mini apple pies, I found these pastry cutters on sale last February at Williams Sonoma on sale for $1.99 (see similar products HERE) and have been waiting for an occasion to give the a whirl.
The apples shrunk deeper in the dish than I expected, but apart from that they turned out great.

Yesterday, we went over to Mum’s for dinner. Since the weather was nice, we decided it’d be great time for a photo shoot with gorgeous leaves. My Nephews cooperated nicely and we got their family portrait, while we snapped some candids of the rest of us, here’s me and mum.
A perfect, fally weekend. I hope you guys all had fun too. x

I love the mini-apple pies in individual ramekins. I’ll have to give that a try this Thanksgiving. Your whole meal sounds delicious.
You and your Mum are both so beautiful! Great Fall pic!
