Last night I was watching The Voice and trying to talk myself out of going into the freezer and snagging one of these delicious bars. Which, in all honesty wouldn't be so bad except I made a deal with myself that I am not eating snacks after dinner this week (whyyyy???) so I am trying to keep my pact with myself. But when a snack is slightly sweet, filling, and on the "healthyish" side a girl could be convinced to break the no snack rule very easily! Cue my gluten free pistachio cranberry protein bars that just so happen to be the perfect snack to keep on hand for any time of day, especially for that pre-bedtime, I want to eat something hour.

It is so hard for me to believe that it is already November. October disappeared so quickly, but I am excited for what is to come for the rest of the year! This happens to be my most favorite time of the year for so many reasons! The food, the family, the friends, the gatherings and oh yeah...did I mention the food? I think that during the fall, everyone needs a good snack mix recipe to bring to get-togethers, give away as gifts, or just to keep on hand! My easy garlic ranch popcorn snack mix is going to be a hit in your house and is made super easy with McCormick Garlic Ranch Seasoning!
Happy Monday guys! I seriously cannot believe that tomorrow is Halloween! This weekend we enjoyed some gorgeous fall weather, I made a big pot of gumbo, and we spent lots of time outside! We haven't done much of anything for Halloween yet, but are headed over to trick or treat with some friends tomorrow night! I feel like Parks is still a little young to really understand it all, but I am sure next year will be a whole other story! And because pumpkin season is in full swing and I want to know, are you still on board with pumpkin spice everything or are you like please no more pumpkin? I am really hoping it's the first option, because I have turned my favorite waffle recipe from my cookbook, First Bites, into the most delicious whole wheat pumpkin waffles that you are going to want to make from now until Christmas!
Hello friends and hello Friday!! Anyone else feel like they have been waiting on today since Monday? Or is that basically every week? It's not the the weekdays are all that bad, it's just that I look forward to the weekends when my hubby is home and we can hang out as a family and take a little break from work! One of my absolute favorite weekend traditions is cooking a big breakfast for the family! Usually at least one day that means pancakes are going to happen! My easy sheet pan pancakes are going to be your new favorite way to fix the most perfect pancakes without fail!

There is a cool front that has rolled through town this week and I couldn't be more excited about crisp mornings and the ability to leave my windows open all day. This has to be my favorite time of year because I get to break out my cozy sweaters, the holidays aren't far away, and an afternoon cup of coffee is always welcomed. Because I work from home, I am not always able to get to a coffee shop when I want the perfect latte, so luckily for me International Delight® One Touch Latte'™ makes creating the perfect latte at home a no brainer in just three easy steps! I like to took it a step further and created a caramel latte pumpkin affogato that is everything I love about fall into one mug!
Happy Monday friends! How was your weekend? Our was really good, but it went by so so fast! We did however celebrate the Astros heading to the World Series, which my dad and hubby are headed to today! I am not a huge "watch on tv" sports girl, but I love going to games, so I'm slightly jealous! I think it's partly due to the fact that I use it as an excuse to eat hot dogs and nachos and justify that it is a mandatory thing when one is at any type of sporting event! I will say though, on the opposite end of the spectrum, that anytime Canean is out of town, I love getting to fix girly meals that he wouldn't be thrilled about! I tend to eat way lighter than when he is home for this reason! Recipes like my brussel sprout, apple, and fennel salad with toasted walnuts and parmesan is one that I usually serve as a side, but tonight it's going to be the main meal for me!
