Fall

This is so true ... why are there already Christmas decorations up the end of October?  

I love Christmas, but for some reason especially this year, I want to hold off a bit and enjoy fall a bit longer.  Felix was surprised when I told him this.  This year I've really come to appreciate fall and everything that comes with it.  I wish I had some more fall decorations, but there really isn't much time or a lot of extra money for that right now.  Maybe one day. 

Remember how we went to the Apfelhof a few weeks ago?  We bought a spaghetti squash that has been patiently waiting to be cooked up and eaten.  Last night, I finally got around to doing something with it.  I googled recipes and found one that looked tasty.  Here is the result: 

First I boiled water for the squash and then let it boil away for several minutes.

Then I had to chop up lots of veggies and cook them up.

 After the squash was done, I scraped out the insides and it looked like this:

 Then I mixed the squash with the veggies, marinara sauce and parmesan and placed it back into the squash.

 Next, I topped it with cheese and more marinara sauce and then baked it for another 20 min.

It was tasty enough ... not my favorite recipe ever, but still good.  Felix hasn't had it yet ... tonight we'll eat the leftovers and I'm curious to hear what he thinks about it.  

Pinterest inspired me yet again ... I decided to make a Fall wreath for our door.  I really, really wanted something Fall-ish for Thanksgiving when my parents and Felix's family come over.  I know I still have some time, but I'm glad that I got it done!  Thanks go to Amanda and Carrie for giving me fabric and pinking sheers!
