Fall Favorites

in Fall

We all know {I guess if you are a follower to my blog you know} that I loveeeeee FALL! It is probably one of my favorite time of year until well it gets really cold. But I love everything that comes with fall so much that I’m going to take a Fall Survey to tell you all about it! (: I read this on a couple of blogs lately and just couldn’t resist… Readyyyy Setttt Gooo! (:

Apple picking or pumpkin picking?
Hmm. Since I have officially now have gone apple picking this is a tough choice.

But I think I would have to go with pumpkin picking. I love getting on a hayride and having a tractor pull us to the pumpkins and getting out then cutting off the pumpkin you want. Nothing beats it!

Favorite apple recipe?
MMM. Apple Crisp! I love apple crisp.. and apple pie. But now that I have found the easiest apple crisp recipe in the world I’m never going back!

Favorite pumpkin recipe
Mmm. I definitely love pumpkin… and I have already made a bunch of different recipes using it already this Fall! My favorite though that I have made so far are by far my Soft Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Favorite soup recipe
I haven’t made many soups before but I love chicken corn soup! Here in PA that is the best soup you can get homemade! I might have to try and make it sometime this Fall!

Football: on TV or in the stadium?
Outside the stadium… tailgating? I had so much fun doing that last year at the game that it really made the game seem insignificant. haha. I guess just having any time to hang out with other people outside on the weekend is fun for me since I don’t get it very often.

Favorite football team to cheer for?
Oakland Raiders! During the best and worst times!

Daylight savings time: Love it or hate it?
Fall back? Love it! Spring forward? Not so much.

How do your workouts change during the fall months?
The weather is perfect to run outside. Last year we did a lot more hikes with Harleyyybear. They definitely turned into workouts. Every year I have had a gym membership so I have always used that but since CrossFit I just have that and outside running to look forward to.

Any fashion essentials for fall weather?
Scarf, Leg Warmers, Sweater, Boots
12 - 1 (1)

Do your meals change when the weather changes?
I definitely eat warmer foods and it seems like I break the CrockPot out a lot more.

Favorite fall dessert?
Apple Crisp and Pumpkin Pie!

Best thing about fall?
Definitely would be the change of outfits. Jeans, Sweat Shirts, Boots. Perfect.

Worst thing about fall?
When it gets closer to winter and you start to get frost on your car. Ugh I hate that!

Best thing that will happen in Fall of 2012?
So far the best things that have happened are all the fairs!

Here you go bragging about those fairs again, haha kidding!! Too funny that your a Raiders Fan.. my dad is actually a fan too. We have this bet, that if the packers win and the raiders loose I get $5.00, and vise versa for every game. I made out pretty well up until this year haha.

Favorite Team: Packers for NFL, Penn State & Auburn Tigers for College
Apple Picking or Pumpkin Picking: Apple!!

Have an amazing day!

haha that is so funny! (: My dad, my brother and I are all Raider fans so we don’t have any bets like that. Eric though is an Eagles fan but they don’t play each other… like ever but I’m sure the next time they do I will come up with a really good bet! (: Like new jewelry or a shopping spree… oh the ideas! (:

I LOVE LOVE LOVE FALL!!!! It’s my favorite season and it JUST came to where I live in California!! I swear this time of year I use my slow cooker 2-3 time a week!

Using the slower cooker is one of the best parts of Fall for sure! (:

I agree with so many of these! Pumpkin pie is my favourite fall dessert too. And I love apple crisp!

But I think I prefer apple picking over pumpkin picking because I like being able to eat and cook with the apples after. ;)

I can’t wait to make apple pie! it is on my fall bucket list because I’ve never made it before but I love it!

How awful is this? I’ve never been pumpkin picking! Around here the patch has them already picked on a heap and you just select. I am deprived!

Oh man! You must go one day! Maybe I’ll throw a pumpkin/apple picking retreat! (:

Football! Love tailgating and going to games. In the stadium for sure.

I’ve never been pumpkin picking, but have been apple picking. Really fun – and then fun to cook up all the yummy pickings.

I love surveys and the fall! With the cooler weather, I start running outside more. I also pull out the crock pot and make a lot of soups and chili. The best part of fall, though, is taking my kids to the pumpkin patch, pumpkin carving, watching Hocus Pocus, eating pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, and drinking pumpkin spice lattes. Oh yeah, I almost forgot to say, “GO PACK GO!!!”

Danielle @ Itsaharleyyylife October 11, 2012 at 9:15 pm

I love crockpots! I wish everyday was a crockpot day! (: Hocus Pocus scares me actually haha. but I loveeee all of the rest of the fall things you listed!

Love apple crisp, but don’t dig the change in time. Always so dark too early!

Danielle @ Itsaharleyyylife October 11, 2012 at 9:14 pm

I know what you mean Ali! It seems to be getting dark wayyyy to early now!

Those are some great fall things….

Football: Definitely on TV. I love being at the game, but it is so hard to see everything, even if you have good seats. I like the replay, commentary and close look at the action.

Fall is definitely my favorite season too!! I love everything about it! I wish that we could just skip the PA winters and go from Fall to Spring :)

Reply

Danielle @ Itsaharleyyylife October 11, 2012 at 9:20 pm

OMG I totally agree! That would be the best.. winters are awful! and I have a feeling we are probably going to get a bad one this year! :\ We had it toooo good last year!
