Fall fun...

Today I was feeling festive. David and I bought these adorable wine bottle labels last week at Michael's...so cute! I had to show them off in this post. My purpose for my domestic day was to make some things to take to my friend Courtney's house. She and her husband, Russell, just had their second child, Baby Jack; they also have Miss Lyza who is almost two. As any mother knows, two kids under 2 is hard, and since my friend Suzanne is Jack and Lyza's grandmother, I know this for sure. I decided to make her two Martha Stewart pasta dishes that can be served hot or cold. With all that I made, they'll have enough to last through the weekend too! I didn't want to leave Miss Lyza out, so she gets a surprise too. I included pics and recipes...they both turned out wonderfully!

Pumpkins, spooky vino, candied apples, and fall flowers...

I LOVE these wine bottle labels...compliments of Martha Stewart at Michael's.

If you don't have this gadget in your kitchen, then you should run out to get one immediately. David gave me one in college, and I have used it for everything from smoothies, to homemade pesto (like I showed here), to tomato relish. Its amazing, and is the handiest little size.

I had to include this tip because its just so handy!

Food for the week!

Miss Lyza gets a new Dora cup with floating Dora!

Ta-da! The final product.
