First Day of Fall

Last Saturday was the first day of Fall and to be honest the only reason why I knew that is because of social media.  Anytime I seemed to log into any account people posted about the official day of Fall coming up.  I also kept seeing fall-like foods all over Pinterest for the exciting day.  Ok, this got a little depressing as the weather man was saying it was going to be 106 degrees here on the first day of Fall.  Yuck!  This high temperature made it difficult to look at all the Fall weather posts on Facebook and Pinterest.  Instead of getting bummed about this I decided to join in and make a Fall food to help speed up the cooler weather here.  I wasn't about to make a soup or warm drink, but instead I  made some apple spice doughnuts from a recipe I found on Pinterest.  I got up early (aka 7:30am) on Saturday morning to start the doughnut process.  It actually was much easier than I thought.

Andy said these were not doughnuts because they were not completely round, but instead in the shape of a mini muffin since I did bake the dough balls in a mini muffin tin.  Oh well, doughnuts or muffins I made the very yummy apple spiced breakfast pastry.  I served them with scrambled eggs and turkey sausage.  Now, I want to make a pumpkin spiced muffin that I found on Pinterest.  Maybe that too will help get me into the Fall mood.

Last weekend we also went out for dinner at Roy's.  Very YUMMY seafood.  It was so good that I couldn't believe we never ate there before.  Anyway, we went to celebrate my promotion at work. I was promoted from the Marketing Manager to the Director of Marketing.  I am pretty excited about it as it's something I have worked towards for a while.  Cheers to me!
