In the unlikely event you’re sick of all things pumpkin 😉 I’ve got the perfect alternative, a decadent Pear and Almond Tart, emphasis on the decadent.  Pears, often overshadowed by apples when it comes to baking are the perfect fall fruit, not to sweet, dense and hearty.  Paired with an amazing almond filling that is dense and almost chewy, taking this tart to the next level.

Ok, I’m going to stop here and let you enjoy it for yourself before I drool all over my keyboard thinking about it!

A few weeks ago I shared a selection of dining tables that I was considering.  After much deliberation I’m happy to report I did make a decision … but you’ll have to wait a little while longer to see which one I chose 😉

With the holidays fast approaching, I’m going to need somewhere for friends and family to sit, so today I’m sharing a round-up of dining chairs I’m loving.  These chairs are classics, styles that will stand the test of time.  While I love a new trend as much as the next designer, more and more I find my clients and myself choosing classics when it comes to furniture, having fun and embracing trends with accessories instead.

So which style of dining chair is your favorite?  I’d love to know in the comments below!

Is there anything more comforting than cinnamon buns and a fresh cup of coffee in the morning?  How about Pumpkin Cinnamon Knots? Similar to cinnamon buns, but with a pumpkin twist.   These soft pillowy clouds, aren’t just tasty pumpkin delights, they look like little pumpkins too!  Which is precisely why I had to make them.

Best fresh out of the oven, topped with a little butter and paired with your favorite cup of coffee or tea.  The recipe is a bit involved, but it is so worth it!  Don’t be intimidated by the cutting and twisting, it’s actually a lot of fun and easy to do!  Enjoy!
