Hi Friends,
It’s pear season and I’m sharing some wonderful recipes below.
Also below? COSTO HAS CHRISTMAS stuff out. Trees. Toys. Decorations. I was shocked. Too soon, don’t you think? lmk! I want to enjoy fall with the changing leaves, cozy sweaters and warm spiced baked goods and drinks.
On the blog this week
Upside down apple and pear loaf - The apples and pears caramelize by baking on the bottom of the loaf pan with a caramel sauce, and then being flipped over when cooled, and all the warming spices combine to make this one of the best loaf recipes I have ever made and had!
Love List - In this week’s Love List we’re sharing cute, affordable loafers for fall, my favorite kitchen pans, a mini crockpot and a travel necessity you didn’t know you needed!
Weekly meal plan - The weekly meal plan, with customizable shopping list.

Row 1 images: we took a trip to a Japanese market, Mitsuwa
Row 2 images: Sammy took off his sock and gave me his foot to do “these little piggies” lol. And Costo, noooooo, they already have Christmas decorations and toys for sale. Too soon. If you haven’t see this, here’s my Costco haul and what I do with it.
I cleaned my car and found SO MUCH STUFF left behind from the kids. I cleaned it using this little vacuum ! It works so well.

Thank you for this. It is delicious and so easy to make! My kids and hubby loved it and I will definitely add to my repertoire of meals. We ate as lettuce wraps and rice on the side!
