Welcome Autumn Party


On Monday, we had our 3rd Annual Welcome Autumn family night.
We ate homemade pizza,
and baked an Autumn dessert.


This recipe comes from the Splenda Brown Sugar blend that I had in my cabinet.

It was so nutty and delicious. I will absolutely make it again.


(spelnda) Apple Crisp

1/2 cup Splenda brown Sugar blend
2 t All purpose flour
1/2 tsp Cinnamon ground
4 cups Apple sliced thinly
-- topping --
1 1/4 cup oatmeal, quick cooking
1/2 cup Flour , all purpose
1/4 cup Splenda brown Sugar blend
3/4 cup Walnut chopped
1/2 cup Margarine melted

1. Preheat oven to 350. lightly spray an 8 x 8 inch square baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. set aside.

2. Combine 1/2 c of splenda brown sugar blend, 2 Tablespoon flour , cinnamon in a large bowl. Add apples tossing to coat. Spon into prepared pan. Set aside.

3. Combine oatmeal, 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup of splenda brown sugar blend and walnuts in a bowl. Stir in butter. Mixture will be crumbly. Spoon over apple mixture.

4. Bake 45 minutes or until apples are bubbly and topping is golden brown. Serve warm.


Yum.
This year, the girls each decorated a haunted Halloween house.



and our traditional Halloween Tree sits on our porch.

Anyone know where I can find some little crows (or birds to spray black) or owls to put in our spooky porch tree?


PS-this tree is much cuter in real life.

Happy Autumn!

That tree is darling! Do you put fake snow on it near Christmas?

I saw some crows at Hobby Lobby with those little clips on the bottom to adhere them to the branch. I think Michael's has some, too.

That pizza looks so tempting. I love cilantro and black beans. If they put them on ice cream, I'd consider eating it.

@ Angela--you should make these black bean brownies. Then you can put all the ice cream you want on it! And seriously, the brownies are awesome.

I've never thought to put fake snow on it. I might spray it silver or white this year, since I have the leftover paint from another project.

You are 47% cooler to me now, which is a feat, because I already thought you were pretty neat.

Thanks!

What a great idea. We need to start doing things like that.

I was really excited to get all our halloween decor out and when I opened the box there were only FOUR things. FOUR out of the huge amount I had made the move from UT to CA. What was I thinking??
