Day 477

Yesterday as I was slacking off instead of doing my homework I came up with a brilliant (if I do say so myself) idea for our wedding favors! We are getting married in the fall, one of my favorite things about the fall is Pumpkin! Who doesn't love pumpkin? Apples are another great feature of the season. Why not combine them?

That is correct, Pumpkin-Apple butter!! Not only did my mouth begin to water instantly, I started thinking of cute ways to decorate this treat into precious little favors. I have enlisted the professional help of my second mom. We started searching for recipes and they all sound so delicious, I cant wait to make a little sample to taste test. 

I think we will use mini mason jars, wrapped in twine with little labels that say:

Spread the Love

Pumpkin-Apple Butter

I have seen this idea before with Jam but I really think pairing pumpkin and apple together to make a butter will be so perfect for toast or buttermilk biscuits.

Date night

We have been house-sitting for my mom while she is away camping. It is nice to think that we have already spend our last weekend where we are currently living. At first we were also hanging out with my younger sister but she left with our grandparents in the morning. So when Danny got off work it was just him and I for the night!

We love to cook and search for new nutritious meals that tickle our taste buds. One of our favorites that we discovered is butternut squash ravioli! Last night we prepared butternut squash ravioli with a walnut glaze topped with Parmesan, paired with some red pepper corn bread and a glass of 2009 Syrah. The meal was wonderful!

After dinner we went for a swim in my moms pool which was nice because we needed to get some movement after eating a heavy meal!  We ended the night snuggling (or attempting to, the cat kept getting in the way) while watching Inglorious Bastards.

 

 

Such a lovely preview for the next chapter of our lives together.....just the two of us!
