A Day at a Time: Obsessed and Boring

Obsessed and Boring

Hey there!

Here's a boring little life update...

I think I have discovered the yummiest cookies in the history of the universe. They're brown butter maple pumpkin cookies. I used gluten free flour and subbed some of the brown sugar with coconut sugar, but that didn't affect the deliciousness level one bit and I think I may be obsessed.

I made them once in Saint George, then made them again because I couldn't stop thinking about them...this time with a healthy maple frosting (sweet potato based with maple syrup, a bit of maple extract, and a little coconut oil). It sounds weird, but it was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good. Have I mentioned that I'm obsessed?

Also, the garden harvest has been plentiful this year and I'm loving it, though I am kind of over all the giant zucchini....and I haven't checked yet, but it was 31-degrees when I woke up the other day, so it might all be dead now. Boo.

I went on an 8 mile hike the other day in the fall perfection and my average mile was 15:18...it felt great!

Glen didn't come with me on the hike, because he was doing his annual fall fishing trip on Strawberry Reservoir with Alex and boys...

The next day, Glen smoked that very trout and we ate it for dinner, which was quite delicious. The kale salad was from our garden, the bread was GF, and the sweet potato a nice touch. We ended with the aforementioned cookies that I'm currently obsessed with, so I ate way too much and ended the day with a tummy ache....

I keep finding photos like this in my camera roll (which we share with the youngest 3 kids) and it makes me smile! I think she's liking college life!

I haven't seen Lucie, Cam, or Garrett since Labor Day weekend and I have been missing them extra lately (probably has something to do with the empty house). Every picture (even when taken at a gas station) I get makes me want to get on a plane right now...
