you know it's fall when...

you wake up to the sound of rain.

the air begins to feel crisp.

and your kitchen is full of:

pumpkin ramekins

pumpkin pancakes

and new fall dish towels.

for breakfast this morning i used this recipe for some of the best "healthy" pancakes i've had.

in large mixing bowl combine:

2/3 cup whole wheat flour

1/4 cup quick oats

dash of salt

1 teaspoon of baking soda

1 teaspoon of cinnamon

mix and then add:

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 large egg

1/3 cup of pumpkin

2/3 cup soy milk/almond milk

1 teaspoon stevia

combine and cook on griddle and enjoy.

delicious.

(the husband agrees)

seriously try them. they will not disappoint.

(for more taste you could add chopped nuts too)

i love

and have a long loving relationship with new england style homes. my love (& i mean true love) for cape cod/nantucket charm is almost too much. something is so charming about these homes. light interiors

dark coffee floors

elegant lighting

plush furniture

clean lines

patriotism

windows

wainscoting

i really love it all
here are some beautiful inspirations.

oh so lovely.

one day i dream of designing my own cape cod/ nantucket style home. and in my next life-i will be an interior designer.
