I grabbed all my fall decorations from my grandma's garage the other day and started decorating our little abode. It's raining right now and I have some hot apple cider and I love it! I love fall. I have pumpkin candles, leaf decorations, gourds on the table, and constant horror movies playing on the television.
I did want to make some fall desserts so I found this recipe on Betty Crocker's website. It's specifically for gluten free necessity but I tweaked it just a little bit for our wants. This one is for Chocolate chip pumpkin cookies and is INSANELY easy.
Pumpkin-Chocolate Chip Cookies
3/4 cup canned pumpkin(not pumpkin pie mix)
1/4 cup butter, softened(not melted)
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1 package(19 oz) Betty Crocker chocolate chip cookie mix
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease cookie sheets with spray or shortening.
2. In large bowl, stir pumpkin, butter, vanilla, and egg until blended. Stir in cookie mix and cinnamon, until soft dough forms. Drop dough by tablespoons 2 inches apart on cookie sheets.
3. Bake 10 to 12 minutes(it took about 10 with our oven). Cool for about 15 minutes.
The recipe says that it makes 3 dozen cookies. It did not for me. It made 12 large cookies. It's too bad because these were so delicious I wanted to share them with everyone.
If anyone has any other fall baking recipes give them to me because I'd like to keep baking up until holiday time comes!

So Behind
Okay, I'm awful at this blogging thing. I admit it. I thought if I put a little effort, maybe designed it cute had Aaron vector me a cute picture I'd stay on top of it. To be honest, a blog is just on the back burner. I like to read them, I like to comment, but sit down and write updates on my life to no one in particular sounds so odd. It's like a public diary.
Let's see. My last post was about couponing. I'm still doing it. I have a 3-inch binder that's full to the brim with coupons from the paper or online or at the store or sent to me. It's incredible and we've saved so much money. Literally I walk out of the store spending less than $20, on what used to cost more like $100. It's awesome, to say the least. Just time consuming. Clipping coupons during the evening can get boring sometimes.
I've been working a heap and so has Aaron. We appreciate the time we have together, even if it is few and far between. On friday we both had the day off, so we headed to the apple orchard and went through a corn maze. It took us only 25 minutes but we had an awesome time. We had to answer trivia questions to determine which way we were suppose to go. It was great. I don't know how much time this week we'll be able to spend together but i'm sure we'll make it count.
Looking for Halloween costumes, I haven't been able to find one that I like enough to get. I kind of just plan on being what I was last year. I'm lazy and uncreative sometimes.
Hope to get some followers soon!
