Saturdays At Shop This

 
{ Via Etsy}

Here we are at the first weekend of fall. How will you spend it? No plans here except for a little deck get together on Sunday. As we wrap up the week, I want to leave you with a few lovely links.

Serena & Lily is having their Fall Design Event. Save 20% on everything with Code: NEWSEASON. I really love their Throws, with a weight and style for every season. And grab their new Holiday Crackers while you can. Very stylish in white and gold. 

Nice Gifts For Shi#ty Situations. These ideas are wonderful thoughts for friends and family going through difficult times. 

Pantone Predicts That These 10 Colors Will Be Trending in 2022. Count me in for them all.

There is a warehouse sale going on at Sur La Table. You will find huge savings on Le Creuset, Scanpan, Staub and more.

Remember Cabbage Patch Dolls? If you had a daughter in the 80's you do! Hammacher Schlemmer now has the Vintage Design Cabbage Patch Doll. It comes with adoption papers and all. With the state of the supply chain in the world today, it might be a smart move for holiday gifting.

I recently tried Westmore Beauty 60-Second Eye Effects. It's a temporary line filler meant for the eyes, but can be used anywhere. It's the first product of its' type that I really like. First of all it is tinted, so that's a good thing. I would say that it reduces my lines by about 35%. YAY!

Cynthia Rowley's Capelet is everything I need in a fall top. It's so good.

L'Occitane Sale Event: Save 20% on Full Priced Items with Code: FRIEND. Time to stock up on your hand cream. They also have a new hand product called Youth Hand Cream. If you have age spots, you might be interested

As you are aware, the Spring 2022 runway shows have been going on across the world. Moda Operandi brings the designers to us to pre-order through their Trunk Shows. Even if you aren't buying, it's great window shopping.

If you decorate your front door and/or porch for the fall season, Shop Terrain offers lovely wreaths, lights, pots, doormats and more.

Please enjoy the first weekend of Autumn. And I do hope that Mother Nature gives you something to smile about.

Foodie Friday: The Flavors Of Fall

Besides falling leaves and sweater weather, fall features some of the most fabulous flavors of the year. Of course, pumpkin spice comes to mind, but there is also the savory smell of sage, juicy apples, maple syrup, cinnamon, and cider. This recipe roundup features all of that and more.

Smoky Harvest Apple Cider Margarita

This recipe had me at "smoky" which I know means Mezcal. The best margarita of my life involved that type of tequila. It's a game changer.

Half Baked Harvest

Pumpkin Hummus

I have made pumpkin hummus before, and make my own hummus weekly. This recipe features cinnamon, cumin, cayenne and even maple syrup. All the fall flavors.

Plays Well With Butter

Fuji Apple Chicken Salad With Creamy Champagne Vinaigrette

Don't you just love a pretty salad? Those homemade apple chips give it so much style, too. Delicious for lunch or dinner!

How Sweet Eats

Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats

Gluten Free

Oh my, apple pie? This breakfast is worth waking up early for. These vibrant oats are naturally sweetened, subtly spiced, and incredibly satisfying.

Good morning!

Minimalist Baker

Maple Turkey Chili

I am so ready for a good bowl of chili. If you are trying to eat healthy, this recipe is for you, as it is made with lean turkey. And by lean, I mean turkey breast. The secret sauce, of course, is the maple syrup. Sounds like fall.

How Sweet Eats

Spiced Pumpkin Maple Latte

I don't even drink coffee, but this looks so good to me. Like autumn in a mug. Spoiler alert: there's homemade apple butter involved.

Half Baked Harvest

Easy Swirled Cinnamon Sugar Croissant Loaf

How would you like to wake up to this? It is said to be super easy, but I must admit that I am intimidated by a recipe that calls for yeast. If you are not, this loaf looks divine.

Half Baked Harvest

Bacon-Latticed Apple Pie

Well, I am sorry that I didn't discover this recipe last week for the Spotlight On Apples post. What's not to love about blending beautiful bacon strips with sweet apples, and bourbon infused crust? It is surely a sensation of sweet and salty!

Epicurious

Crispy Roasted Potatoes with Thyme

Four simple ingredients create this delicious dish. They are the perfect partner for pork tenderloin, turkey (bookmark it for Thanksgiving) or grilled fish. 

Williams Sonoma

Chile-Maple Roast Chicken

This recipe by Antoni Porowski is for "Mr. Shop This" His dream meal would be a roasted chicken.   Can't you just imagine how it smells while roasting?

Pure Wow

Italian Pot Roast

This stick to your ribs dish is served over garlic smashed potatoes. Or to be totally Italian, serve it over creamy polenta. Just YUM!

The Modern Proper

Creamy Roasted Pumpkin Pasta With Fried Sage & Chili Pumpkin Seeds

This recipe uses the whole pumpkin with no waste at all. It starts with roasted pumpkin. Have you ever had it? Oh it is good. It has a sweet caramel flavor. And if you have not tried fried sage before, it is also yummy.

Elizabeth's Kitchen Diary

Candied Bacon Fig Bruschetta

Oh how elegant! And is there anyone that really doesn't like bacon? It's made with goat cheese, honey or maple syrup, figs, bacon, and bread.

Havoc In The Kitchen

Autumn Apple Bourbon Fizz

This is an apple butter cocktail, if you can believe. "You shake apple butter and bourbon together with ice. That’s it!" Then you add a little ginger ale or ginger beer on top with a cinnamon stick for good measure. 

How Sweet Eats

Artichoke, Shallot, and Fig Pizza

Perhaps the prettiest pizza I have ever seen. It features a magic sauce that is a combination of artichoke hearts, garlic, parmesan cheese, lemon, walnuts, and rosemary blitzed together in a food processor. How unique!
