"Fall" is in the air

I sure do love this time of year.....Sweaters,scarves,boots,and being able to turn on the oven again.

I started decorating for fall like the last week of August so needless to say I was anxious for Fall.   I was on Pinterest and found a paper leaf wreath that I loved.  They used the colors blue, gray, white, and yellow.  I decided to use some fall colors instead.  I think it turned out pretty cute.  

I made the actual wreath with pipe cleaner and tape
cut out a variety of leaves, gently folded them down the middle
placed them in an arrangement that I liked
then glued them into place


I mentioned that we are now using the oven again so I thought I'd share a recipe fail.   I saw an idea to make breakfast pizza.   It sure looked pretty but I don;t think breakfast ingredients go on crust.  It was pretty dry and not flavorful at all.   If I was to attempt it again I would try to come up with an amazing sauce to put on it or over the top.

1 Year

This past week we celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary.  I really can't believe it's been a year. Sometimes it seems like it can't be a year, and other times it seems like we've been married for more then a year.  I sure do love that husband of mine and am so grateful that he chose me to be his wife.   I've decided that although wedding day is the happiest day of peoples lives the anniversaries are a little less stressful and not as nerve racking haha.   We had a wonderful weekend together.  Daniel took thurs. and fri. off of work, we didn't have a lot planned but ended up finding some things to do.   On Thurs. we went up town to the church art museum and  then he showed me the genealogy research building.   We then made our way over to city creek to walk around.    We ate dinner at Red Robin (YUM) and then ended the night with a red box movie,(42) in the comfort of our apartment.   The next morning we got up and got our grocery shopping done for the week then came home for some lunch.   We couldn't decide what to do, especially because it was pouring outside.  So we went and got an ice cream cone and headed out to Magna in hopes of getting on Backus(?) highway to go to Herriman.   We were just going to drive around Herriman.  We made it to Magna and it was just really pouring and we both were a little tired so we took a nap at Daniels parents house instead.  Then we stopped in to say hi to my parents then off to dinner we went.  We went to Wingers then went home and enjoyed the rest of the evening watching a favorite of ours (Dateline).  We did't go extravagant in our celebrating, but we had fun together.

Here's a picture of our Sunday dinner.  A Daniel creation Brazilian beef stroganoff.

My Man Can Cook

It's true to the title
Daniel can cook
He's a meat machine, I'm still pretty afraid to touch meat at times so he gets in there and does the dirty work haha

On Labor day I let him pick what we had for dinner, so a made up meal is what we did.  We had chicken seasoned with bread crumbs, garlic powder, and onion powder.   We also had cooked pinto beans on top of rice, and a salad.   It turned out really good.  We had a really good Labor day as well.   We started the day bright and early at RC Willey.   They had a really good sale on all of there furniture and the first 200 people got a 25 doller off your purchase.  We found us a super cute/comfy couch.   We sure do love holidays and the time we get to spend together all day long.  

 Daniel said, get a picture before and after

 Finished meal

Hope everyone had a good Labor Day!
