Monthly Musings October 2024: Halloween and Fall Fun

 



Happy Halloween Besties! While I may already be watching Hallmark Christmas movies, I am ready to have the trick-or-treaters stop by tonight. Holly and I are super excited that Monthly Musings falls on Halloween and we can share all of the Halloween and Fall Fun with you. Grab your favorite Halloween candy and join us for Monthly Musings!


1. What Do You Usually Do for Halloween?

Our house is going to be a little more low-key this year for Halloween but we did get a few festive items up. Our neighbors typically come over and we give out candy together.

Hello Monday--Fall Home Decor Part 1

 


Hey Hey Monday. Did you have a Good weekend? We had the perfect fall weekend with some football, grilling, a little church, some soup making and his and hers acupuncture appointments. Today I am taking you on a little tour of my fall decorations for our house that I love this year. I feel like we have not had much of a fall this year weather-wise, but inside our home has all the fall feels. The Best part is several of the items I used this year are from rummage sales and our local Buy Nothing site. I will point out what those items are as we go along.

I am excited to link up with Sarah and Holly  for Hello Monday and share my fall home tour with you. If you are ready, pour a hot cider or pumpkin spice coffee and join me for our fall house tour!

Hello Monday: Zippy Rosemary Roasted Squash

 



Happy Monday Besties! Running Daddy and I had an amazing food weekend and I am excited to share one of our Best dishes from this weekend. Today I am linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday to share my Zippy Rosemary Roasted Squash. 

Fall is my favorite season for food. I love the textures, the spices and the sweetness. There is nothing like fall food. This Zippy Rosemary Roasted Squash is easy, healthy and quick. While I am sharing a version with acorn squash, I did a similar version with a medium-sized sweet potato last week. It would also be amazing with butternut squash.

Friday Favorites October 11, 2024: Pumpkin Spice Edition

 



Before I even start this post today, I want to make sure that everyone is sending prayers, Good thoughts and any aid they can to the people impacted by the storms over the last few weeks. If you are looking for a place to make a donation, of any amount, think about World Central Kitchen. They are currently sending water and fresh food to the southeast. Always double-check to see if your employer will match your donation. My employer will and it is a way to send additional help to impacted areas.

I am going to switch gears and move to Friday Favorites. It is ok to take a moment to focus on things that bring us Joy and levity even when times are challenging. Since there is no denying now that we are in full pumpkin spice season, I am sharing with you my favorite pumpkin spice items and not all of them are food items. Join me today as I link up with Erika and Andrea for Friday Favorites-Pumpkin Spice Edition!




1. Trader Joe's Pumpkin Bread Mix


If you have spent any time on this site over the last few years you know that I am not a big baker. Baking can be tough when you are gluten-free but I have definitely figured out my go-to recipes and mixes. Trader Joe's makes an amazing pumpkin bread mix that comes in regular and gluten free. It is so Good that honestly, there is no reason in my mind to make it from scratch.
