Salted Apple Fritters

One of the things I miss the most about leaving Chicago, is the apple fritters at Stan's Donuts. These are said to be sweet, salty, and crispy on the outside. I want one now!

Autumn Harvest Butter

A spoonful of this tasty spread would be great on the fritters above!  Apples, Pears, Quince, Cane Sugar, Orange, Lemon, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and Vanilla Bea, come together for a beautiful bite.

Sweet Potato Apple Soup

I have made sweet potato soup before, but didn't think of adding apples. What's wrong with me?  This recipe looks easy and sounds delicious!

Spoonful of Plants

Pumpkin Stoneware Tureen

Just a wonderful way to serve soups all season long. Both the tureen and individual nowls are on sale now at.......

Apple Cider Smothered Chicken
Fall in a pan. A seasonal savory main course that I bet "Mr. Shop This" is going to request.

 Half Baked Harvest

Lodge Cast Iron Pan

It is suggested that the Chicken dish above be made in a cast iron pan. If you don't own one, this is a wonderful pan. I have it. Plus it is reduced now by 40%. 

Wayfair

Salted Rosemary Caramel Apple Pie

To me, apple pie just isn't worth the calories unless it includes caramel. And infusing the salted caramel sauce with rosemary really elevated this pie. On my list to try!

Cinnamon & Coriander

Ceramic Pie Pan Set of Two

This set is attractively priced, and comes in several colors and sizes.

I celebrated last weekend with a little bubbly. Hopefully you had a fun holiday, too. This week's links are really good, and I am happy to share them with you. Let's get to it!

So cool.....this Cooler Tote Bag is just the cutest, and what your next beach day needs.

Family Style: Interior Designer and Dad, Nate Berkus shares how to make a home special. Read and shop the story at Bergdorf's.

Ins and Outs — Summer Hosting Edition. Loved this article by designer Kelly Wearstler She gives us some good tips!

The beautiful handblown glasses of Estelle Colored Glass are so bar cart worthy! They come in every color under the sun. What gorgeous wedding gifts they will make. 

Take an extra 25% off sale styles at Mark & Graham, It's a good time to stock the gift closet!

When H & M gets something really good in stock, it is always gone in a flash. Found this chic little cotton dress yesterday.  So cute for Prosecco on the patio.

Indoors or out, the Captiva Bar Cart is the perfect piece for entertaining. Best yet, it's on sale for 25% off the original price.

Star Power: You need these star cocktail picks in your entertaining cabinet. They are 5" inch wood picks with a wooden star on top. They really added to my Charcuterie Board. But I can see them on cupcakes and birthday cakes, too. Just adorable.I bought them in silver.

New from Etsy: 16 Super Special Birthday Gifts For One Of a Kind People I especially loved the personalized Charcuterie Boards. By the way, I made my first one last week. :). And the embroidered hair bow for little girls is adorable. And the Scalloped Vases above are really unique.

I see a lot of good things in a week's time. My favorite this week is Nest Jewelry's Pearl Charm Ring at Neiman Marcus.  I wish that I could add the pic but it just doesn't blend with the colors of this post. Love it so much!

The Father's Day best seller was the Fieldbar Drinks Box Cooler. You might want to look at it again for a guys gift. It's so good looking, comes in many colors, and very useful. We love ours.

We will end on a sweet note. Give Half Baked Harvest's Pink Drink a try this weekend. It's actually made with strawberry tea, so it is good for the entire family! But a little shot of vodka might not hurt.

Have a Lovely Weekend,

XOXOX
