Fall stove top potpourri

Ok so I must admit... fall, and winter are my favorite times of year! I love the season changes, leave changing colors, gets cooler out. Sweater weather, leggings and boots! Just the whole feel of fall ♡ and not to mention all the fall smells, food and activities!  

I like my house to smell like fall too and for me it takes me back to when I was a kid and my mom would have this on the stove... I'd always go into the kitchen thinking it was apple pie only to realize it was potpourri on the stove.... ahahaha the disapointment!? 

But as a adult I now know why.... :) 

What I used was a whole apple sliced 

2 cups of water ( it will evaporate throughout the day you will have to add more ) 

Cinnamon sticks and cinnamon powder! 

Cloves 

And never too much vanilla 

Wish I could say I measured this and have a exact recipe for you...   . But I dont. 

Guess and play around I like a lot of vanilla ♡ 

Looks cute.... smells amazing! Go ahead try it out! Can't smell it through this blogg... I wish! 

Happy fall activities.

Homemade baked chicken wings

Ok so I am one for chicken wings! Any flavor as long as there is blue cheese :)

I was never a health nut or really ever watched what I ate. I never had to worry about wright issues but the older I get I like to at least now put a little thought into it? And as these are far I'm sure from a health food, at least it's healthier than the average wing... and that's what I go for.. 

Ok blah blah blah you ready for hpw I did it? 

Real easy! 

I picked up the full size wings ( tend to be a lot cheaper ) 

And i cut them in halves 

I used old bay ( our favorite ) 

I just rolled in olive oil then the season to bake. Then I added more season when they came out... never too much season right? 

I lined my tray with foil just for easy clean up 

As for our hot wings I rolled in olive oil then pur cayenne pepper on them to bake 

I baked both of them at 400° for 35 minutes 

For the hot sause I used a stick of butter a bottle of hot sauce more cayenne pepper garlic pepper and some regular pepper put on low heat until butter melts then turn off 

I cut up some celery and normally make my own blue cheese but didn't have the ingredients so next best thing is Kens steakhouse dressing 

Here are the old bay season out of the oven 

They turned out amazing!

And the hot wings out of the oven before the hot sause 

And yummm my favorite after the sause! Better than any order out place ( at least that's what my family say ) 

Dinner is done! 

Rather watch a video? here you go... 

Spooky deviled eggs

Ok so I love fall activities! ! And halloween is part of it. 

I am not a huge fan of the idea as halloween as a media based holiday either way I give in every year lol. It's fun right!? 

You know what's even better Is having a party for the kids and making spooky food ;) 

so this year we boiled some eggs... 

To make the fill I didn't really measure but just kinda guessed until it looked right.  

Some mayo, mustard,  and season salt and the yolks mix until smooth. 

For extras I had some olives and a tomato ( red peppers work better! )

And some celery

And here we go... 

for the spider I used one olive cut in half then use the other half to slice thin legs out of.. piece together

Spookey pudding

Ok so many not that spookey. .. more like adorable! !?

Here is a simple snack or party idea! Super easy and fun! Surely to be and big hit! 

After doing this I would recommend 2 or 3 boxes of pudding for these size cups tho! 

What you will need ....

cups 

sprinkles or chocolate chips ect

Pudding and food coloring or you can use color jello! 

Grab a sharpie marker and draw some creative faces or ... be like me go simple haha 

Ok so I'm not the best artist.... 

Ok my pudding is cooked I waited till mine cooled down before I colored it 

Once it's cool divid into whatever you are wanting and get to coloring .... 

There we go! 

You could also do purple for a witch 

or purple bat

Or draw a black cat then color yellow for the moon ... be creative :) 

Maybe I will do a part 2 of these next time I do pudding... but I think something cute and simple is great for parties serve with vanilla wafers!  

Follow my youtube videos ! 

here is how I did it :) 

Cheesburger pie

Healthy fries

Healthy way to do some homemade fries without frying or over processed bagged fries easy and amazing good .. here is how I did it

Start out with some potatoes (I peeled mine u could also leave skins on up to you )

If u have a slicer great use that I only had a knife so I sliced mine by hand Just make sure most all are the same size to insure they will all cook even

After they are all sliced get some ice water in a bowl add some salt and soak potatoes for about 30 minutes ( this will help them to get more chrispy when u bake them )

After the 30 minutes is up lay on paper towel pat dry they do not have to be completely dry add some salt pepper or garlic or cyanne spice to however u like brush them with olive oil

Put in oven ( checking and flipping constantly ) at 350 for about 45 minutes.  Everyone's time may be different due to different thickness of the cut just check them and keep flipping them so they get golden brown all over

Get your favorite dipping cause out and enjoy! Fast food fries at home and healthy and good.  Let me know What your favorite fries are either a fast food chain or way u make them at home: ) 

Happy eating
