Happy Halloween

This Halloween, instead of carving pumpkins, we decided to decorate our house. Luckily, our adventure took up to Julien this year, where we found the perfect accessory to any October themed party - apples. Along with a baskets of red, green and golden apples we added a few sparkly touches to the house to spark up our spirits for the spooky holiday.

Halloween with Caramel Apples

After picking and consuming too many apples this weekend, and spotting the recent posting on one of my favorite blogs, I couldn't image not celebrating Halloween without a few caramel apples. Simple and straight to the point, it didn't even matter that they weren't the most gorgeous of specimens (let's hope the next batch gets a little better!) because they tasted delicious! 

Apple Picking

This weekend I was able to check off one of the many "to-dos" for living in San Diego - apple picking in Julian. The weather was absolutely perfect (apparently we missed the fog back home) and after a five hour hike avoid some cow road blocks, the rest of the afternoon was spent indulging in what Julian is known for most - apples. Our bag was filled to the brim with sweet apples (all of which we tried a few too many times) and then spent eating three types of apple pie a la mode.

Now my only problem is what to do with all these apples....got a great idea from Cupcakes & Cashmere...
