Pumpkin Picking at Heaven Hill

 This past Sunday we drove out to Heaven Hill Farm for some pumpkin picking with the fam. The weather turned out to be quite sunny and mild.  After the corn maze, hay ride, and various other fun activities with the littles we were totally spent.  Felt like the best workout I've had in a while.  Check out our previous trips to the pumpkin patch here and here.  On a side note I can't believe how much Jada and Josiah have grown in the past year!

Happy Friday!  I've been looking forward to this coming weekend.  We plan on going pumpkin picking with the littles (our niece and nephew).  Can't wait to indulge in some fall fun.  Have a great weekend!

DIY: Military Inspired Mani

I'm really fond of the khaki and army green color combo.  This military inspired look is super simple to recreate.  All you need is nude colored polish, a dark green polish, and some gold microbeads. 

 

Process:

1.  Apply 2 coats of nude polish

2.  Apply green polish to tips in a "V" shape

3.  Using an orange stick apply microbead to the base of the "V"

4.  Seal beads with a thick layer of top coat

DIY Halloween

{this is the one!}

So, I officially decided on my Halloween costume.  For some reason I always end up with a Mexican themed getup.  I don't know what it is, but it just happens.  I found a lot of inspiration on Pinterest.  Here are some pretty cool DIY costume ideas.  You can follow me on Pinterest here.

 

Breakfast Tart

During the work week I don't have the luxury of making breakfast that takes longer than 5 minutes to prepare.  I truly enjoy making up for this on Saturday mornings.  I came up with this little breakfast tart recipe using whatever ingredients I had in my fridge and the results were pretty delicious.  So, I thought the only right thing to do would be to share the recipe...

Breakfast Tart

What you need:
1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
1/2 cup part skim ricotta
1/4 cup defrosted chopped spinach, squeezed of excess moisture
1 tablespoon Pecorino Romano
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
4 eggs
1/4 cup crumbled turkey bacon
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Roll out thawed sheet of puff pastry onto a parchment covered baking sheet. Roll out slightly and lightly score 1/2 inch of pastry edges in toward center on all sides. Prick the center of the pastry dough with a fork several times.
Mix ricotta, spinach, and Pecorino in a bowl add salt and pepper to taste.  Spread mixture over crust to scored edge. Sprinkle on Monterey Jack and turkey bacon. Crack open each egg in a small bowl then add one in each quadrant and season with salt and pepper. Bake 15 - 18 minutes checking after 10 minutes. When done, the egg whites should be completely set and the yolks beginning to thicken but not hard, pastry dough should be puffy and slightly golden. Makes 4 servings. Enjoy!

Well it officially feels like fall!  Not going to lie getting out of bed this morning was a little like torture.  It was 44 degrees out and we haven't put our heat on yet.  Time for some flannel pajamas.  Hope you have a wonderful week!
