Peppers & Pumpkins

TGIF!

I’m glad the weekend is upon us.

The other thing that was upon me is that the checks I ordered arrived

Speaking of peppers, here’s a mini pepper tree that I saw and almost bought just for the cute factor.

And here’s a mini pumpkin tree

Adorable, right?

The peppers got me thinking I should make some Cheezy Kale Chips

The coating for the Cheezy Kale Chips uses a red pepper and is good enough to simply eat as a dip.  Trust me, I know this.

Or just make some Spicy Doritos Cheezy Dip if you’re feeling peppery.  Or if you like Doritos as much as I do.

And then get your pumpkin on

No Bake Pumpkin Spice Donut Holes (Vegan, GF)

Washed down with a Pumpkin Spice Latte sounds good to me

I’m not sick of them yet and have been having one almost every day.  Sorry for the repeated pumpkin mentions for the non-pumpkin lovers.  I used to be just like you and not into pumpkin either but times have changed.

But you know what, it’s going to be Christmas before you know it and peppermint will be in full force.

Questions:

1. Have you bought a pumpkin yet to decorate for Halloween?

I know most bloggers have already been hoarding the canned pumpkin puree.  I can feel Libby’s stock rising from the blogosphere alone.

But so far, I haven’t bought an actual pumpkin.  Not yet but soon.

2. Do you like peppers?  What’s your fave way to eat them?

Whole, raw, in slices and wedges with any kind of dip like homemade 4-ingredient hummus to mango chutney to vegan slaw dressing is how I usually eat them.

Or raw peppers stuffed peppers with wild rice or any other kind of filling are tasty

 

3. Weekend plans?

I know it’s going to be a busy one for me.  I have work, housework, catching up on laundry, errands, and cooking to do, but being with Scott and Skylar will be the best part.

P.S. Thanks for the Case of Bella Bar Giveaway entries
