Fall Harvest Salad.

                                                     Fall Harvest Salad.

Anybody that knows me, knows I love making different kinds of salads. Salads can be simple yet elegant. This fall harvest salad is a winner for sure. 

What you need: 

• Romaine or Spinach 
• Gorgonzola 
• Bacon
• Dried Cranberries 
• Sunflower Seeds (I used unsalted because the salt in the bacon and cheese)
• Red Onion 
• Then some kind of a maple dressing (I used Stonewall Kitchen's Maple Balsamic Dressing)

Enjoy!

Apple Season.

Autumn is my favorite time of year. I love everything from the sweater weather to the fall foliage. I recently went to my local cider mill and an apple orchard. I went to Mayer Brothers Cider Mill. It is a cute little cider mill in Buffalo, New York. They have homemade apple cider donuts, candy apples, some local cheese, and apple cider slushies, what more can you ask for?  

I also went to a local apple orchard. I try to go apple picking every year, it is just a fun fall activity you never get too old for.

Tis the Season.

Hey guys! Can you believe it is already December? This month is going to fly by. I thought I would just share a few photos from this weekend. My sister and I went to an adorable Christmas Tree Farm in Springville, New York which is about 40 minutes outside of Buffalo. They had cookies and hot chocolate, you are able to buy festive wreaths, and of course cut down your own tree. It is such a fun thing with the people you love around Christmas.
