Autumn Starts NOW! with an Apple Dip Recipe
It's no secret just how much I adore Autumn! My home is decorated in Fall colors year round, my dishes are a pattern named October, my favorite candles are Baked Apple Pie and Caramel Apple, my favorite potpourri is Punkie Cinnamon, my idea of a dream vacation is to see the changing of the colors in the Northeast United States, and I am thrilled that today signals the return of Pumpkin Spice to my local Starbucks menu!
With the unseasonably cooler temperatures (I actually sat outside last night with a blanket over me!), I cannot help but start celebrating early the beginning of my favorite time of year ~ Autumn as it spills over into early Winter.
Breathe deep...can you smell the crispness in the air?
Look far...do you see that hint of yellowing in the treetops?
Listen closely...there is a tune in its beginning measures that puts a smile on my lips like no other season can!
I am so thankful God created such beauty in such simple things!
And to kick off the festivities, I'm making this incredibly simple...
Caramel Apple Dip
8 oz cream cheese
1 cup brown sugar or sucanat
1 tsp vanilla
Mix thoroughly and take your apples for a dip! (shown here in my October dishes!)
Also, go check out my blogger friend, Georgiann! She's having a Giveaway to celebrate her blogiversary at her Garden Gate blog and it reminds me of AUTUMN!!! Be on the lookout for more Autumn posts from me cuz, you guessed it, I LOVE this time of year!!! (lol)

Oh yum! I love fall too - but I'll have to admit, it makes me sad to say goodbye to summer.
How'd church go on Sunday?
Love,

I am so with you on loving the fall season! Here in North TX we don't get a true fall as such but this year the Lord is blessing us with much cooler temps for late August and early September...very nice!
That apple dip is on my list now for this weekend. THANKS!
Would you consider posting some pics of your dishes? I am searching for new ones and it sounds like we have the same style. :)

Mrs T,
I added a note in the blog, but the dish the dip is in is the pattern and the link takes you to the replacements site (since they discontinued the pattern many years ago...I bought mine at an estate sale!). If you go to that site, you can see all the different pieces.
Hope you enjoy the dip!!!
Amy
oh! I had that pattern but it was in mossy green and by Micasa (sp)
I loved it but after 11 yrs of marriage and way too many moves I only have 5 dishes left. :(
for Avon's red dishes that they discontinued. A friend showed me her set on Sunday night and well GOTTA HAVE 'EM! Red is my signature color ;)
thanks for the link

I live in the NE US. It's AWESOME here in the fall. You and the clan could always come camp at our place on your dream vacation...=P

I just tried this 3 seconds ago with hubby and it is sooo delicious! This is going in my recipe folder for sure. It's definately a keeper! Thank you so much! Yummy!
You guys are making me want some Starbucks... Starbucks and yarn are two of my biggest weaknesses. ;)
