Fall baking season is officially here, and these C Fall baking season is officially here, and these Cheesecake Apple Hand Pies drizzled with caramel are an absolute must-make. AD 🍎🥧Comment “PIE” to get all the details in your DM. Using cute mini pie molds (in the shapes of apples, pumpkins, and classic round mini pies), these stuffed hand pies feature a sweet whipped Lifeway Farmer Cheese filling layered with spiced cinnamon apples. Finished with a sweet cinnamon sugar crust before baking and a generous caramel drizzle at the end. If you’re looking for memorable fall dessert recipes, mini apple pie ideas, or creative ways to use Lifeway Farmer Cheese? This high-protein, microbiome-friendly treat delivers all the cozy cheesecake flavor you want this autumn! After Roger ate one, he asked for another because they are “really, really, REALLY good!” Comment “pie” below, and I’ll send all the details to your DMs! 🍎👇 #LifewayLovesYourGuts #DiscoverLifeway #MadeWithLifeway #LifewayFarmerCheese @lifewaykefir Tutorial: 1. First, cut refrigerated pie crust into mini pie shapes. 2. Blend ⅓ cup Lifeway Farmer Cheese, 1 tsp sugar, & ¼ tsp vanilla extract until smooth. Set to the side. 3.

Living in the south means we’re basically sweating Living in the south means we’re basically sweating from early spring until well into October, but my soul has been ready for fall since July. 😅🍂 Comment “CIDER” for all the details, exact ingredients, & more in your DM. Ever since I was a little girl, my mind has turned to autumn as soon as I started seeing back-to-school signs. And now that we are in September, I’m fully into fall. Fall decor, fall colors, fall scents, and fall flavors! The only problem is that turning on the oven right now isn’t always fun when the temp is already well into the 90s and creeping toward 100 degrees Fahrenheit. So these Salted Caramel Apple Cider Floats are the perfect solution! And this drink is so ridiculously creamy. It’s the best way to get that cozy caramel-apple flavor when you’re still running the AC on high (Roger likes to keep it at 70 during the day). I first shared this recipe all the way back in 2015, which means it’s officially been a family favorite for over a decade! 🥹 The OG recipe uses a mix of regular and sparkling apple cider for the best fizzy kick (although we’re still waiting on our local orchard to stock fresh cider for the season, so store-bought works like a charm until then!). If you want a creamy, chilled fall drink to beat the heat, be sure to check out the full recipe (with the exact ingredients I used) on my blog. Are you leaning into fall or still holding onto summer? 🍎Comment “cider” for recipe, ingredients, & more details in your DM.
Welcome to the ‘Ber Months! 🎄Comment “CHRISTMAS” f Welcome to the ‘Ber Months! 🎄Comment “CHRISTMAS” for details & tutorials in your DM. While some are just starting to think about fall and having a hard time letting go of summer (it will feel like summer here for at least another month), my mind and heart have already wandered towards Christmas. In the Philippines, the Christmas season is celebrated during the “ber” months - SeptemBER, OctoBER, NovemBER, and DecemBER. My grandmother was Filipino (born and raised in the Philippines), and this is such a special tradition that we are passing down to our children. But don’t worry, we aren’t actually decorating for Christmas in SeptemBER, we are waiting until at least mid OctoBER. For now, Roger and I are sneaking in a Christmas song here & there, reading little Christmas stories to our kids every once in a while, and making fun Christmas plans to help create special memories with our children this holiday season. However you enjoy the ‘Ber months, whether that be tanning in the sun, raking piles of leaves to jump into, or putting up twinkle lights, I hope these months are filled with the true meaning of the season and that you make lasting memories with the ones you love. 🎄Comment “Christmas” for tutorials & details in your DM.
I couldn’t decide if I wanted to create a fall flo I couldn’t decide if I wanted to create a fall flower candle or a fall leaf candle, so I decided to make both DIY Pressed Leaves and Flower Fall Candles! 🍂Comment “CANDLE” to get the tutorial & details in your DM. A shorter candle with pressed fall flowers and a tall candle with pressed fall leaves. Although we won’t have fall colors for a couple of months still (typically around late October, but usually more like early November - I have some very special photos of little Roger Dale’s first fall and the peak fall foliage didn’t arrive until around November 7!), I was still able to find some beautiful options online that were already pressed and ready for crafting. And I’ve found that the online versions are sometimes better than the home pressed versions as they are often color corrected so their vibrant colors last for years! While you can use a hair dryer instead of an iron, I personally prefer using an iron as I feel like the iron has more heat control and the blowdryer can spread/blow wax where it’s not wanted. Of course, I used my favorite little candle swap and added a mini tealight flameless candle to the center of each candle at the end (you do this by creating a candle wax memory in center by scooping the wax out, I share additional details and alternative ways in my flameless candle hack blog post). This way the candles last for years to come! Which one do you like better, the fall flower candle or the fall leaf candle? 🍂Comment “candle” to get all the details & tutorial in your DM.
Fall is almost here, but it will still be 2 months Fall is almost here, but it will still be 2 months (and some weeks) until the green leaves turn to the beautiful colors of fall. 🍂 Comment “LEAF” for tutorial & details in your DM. I remember when our son was born 5 falls ago, we didn’t have beautiful fall colors until the end of the first week of November. And I only remember this because a couple of weeks after he was born, we took him up to Gatlinburg to show him the fall colors, and then afterward learned that babies can’t see color at that age. It’s such a special, funny memory that Roger and I love about his first fall. So while we are still waiting for fall colors outside, we will be enjoying them inside! I made this DIY Fall Leaf Hurricane Candle Holder with artificial leaves, the same ones that I used for the viral DIY Fall Leaf Candle Holder that I shared a few weeks ago. I also used the same flameless candle hack in the center of this candle holder. I thought about using lace around the rubber band, but decided twine looked better and fit the fall aesthetic a bit more. When do fall colors begin where you live? 🍂Comment “leaf” for details in your DM.
Aren’t these Mini Bundt Pumpkin Spice Muffins abso Aren’t these Mini Bundt Pumpkin Spice Muffins absolutely adorable!? 🍂Comment “PUMPKIN” to get the recipe & details in your DM. I first made Mini Pumpkin Spice Latte Bundt Cakes back in 2017, and they looked just like this, with two minor differences. This time, I kept it simple. First, I used my favorite pumpkin spice muffin recipe, which serves as the base for my Nutella Cream Cheese Swirl Pumpkin Muffins. The second change is that I added an edible fall leaf on top. (which can also be seen in my Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls recipe and Apple Cinnamon Pastry Donuts recipe.) And these Mini Bundt Pumpkin Spice Muffins turned out so adorably delicious and festive for fall! These are so cute for a fall party, a Friendsgiving dessert, or a Thanksgiving brunch! What fun fall occasion will you make these Mini Bundt Pumpkin Spice Muffins for this year? 🍂Comment “pumpkin” to get the recipe, tutorial, & details in your DM.
#AirWickPartner What’s the easiest way to transfor #AirWickPartner What’s the easiest way to transform your space for the season? 🍂 Plug in the Air Wick® Scented Oils Advanced Plug-In! ✨Comment “FALL” to get all the details in your DM. I’m obsessed with how the Cozy Collection instantly fills my entryway with a warm, welcoming fragrance infused with pure natural scented oils. Whether we’re just relaxing together as a family or welcoming friends over, it provides a consistent, noticeable fragrance that keeps the fall coziness going all day long. Having the fragrance of fall begin in our entryway is a must, as we spend a lot of time walking through our entryway to and from our library and in and out to our front porch. The best part? It lasts up to 70 days per refill!* The only reason to change it out early is so you can try the rest of their amazing fall lineup. It’s so fun to rotate my favorite fall fragrances throughout the different spaces. I’m currently loving Apple Cinnamon Medley as it feels so warm and comforting, and I think I’m going to try the new Autumn Air & Warm Spice next! Find your new favorite fragrance today! ✨Comment “FALL” to get all the details in your messages. *On low setting #AlwaysInviting #CozyCollection @airwickus
Flower ice balls are my favorite way to keep drink Flower ice balls are my favorite way to keep drinks cool for parties. 🌻Comment “FLOWER” to get the tutorial & details in your DM. And based on how viral my first tutorial went, I know you all love them too!! While you can, of course, just put flowers in a vase and fill a container with regular ice, I found this way to be so much more fun, and pretty too! Plus, regular ice is nowhere near as big as these ice balls, so these keep your drinks (or food) cool for SO MUCH LONGER!! We live in Tennessee (where it’s crazy hot and humid), and I used them at an outside party we hosted. I had them outside around 7 pm, and at midnight, there was still some ice in it (and my Christmas ones lasted over 24 hours!) While some people thought it wouldn’t look nice when it melts, it is actually really pretty as the flowers then float in the water. And since I’ve made these so many times, I thought I’d share some additional (12) tips and notes to help you when you’re making them for your next party. Tips & Notes: 1. This particular tool is only advertised to be used for filling balloons. I don’t recommend you use it for anything but filling balloons. If you are a farmer or grew up on a farm, you’ll know what I mean. And yes, I know the tool’s original purpose. 😂 But the balloon industry has a very different use for it. 2. Boiled distilled water makes the ice clearer, but I needed water pressure to fill these balloons. I do use boiled distilled water when I make them in a silicone mold, but it still freezes in multiple directions, which scatters impurities throughout the ice and makes it less clear. 3. The balloons I used are made from 100% natural latex (not plastic); they are biodegradable and compostable in 6 weeks, and are made with food-grade ink. Oh, and the bags that they came in are compostable too, as they are made from 100% corn starch. You can read all 12 tips/notes (like a melting timeline) & find more details about these balloons on my blog. 🍂Comment “flower” to get all the details in your DM.
You need to make this late-summer Peach Dip ASAP! You need to make this late-summer Peach Dip ASAP! AD 🍑Comment “Cheese” to get more details in your DM. I used Lifeway Farmer Cheese for the creamy base, loaded it up with grilled peaches, crunchy granola, fresh basil (fresh mint is amazing here too if you prefer it!), and a heavy drizzle of honey. Serve it with some crispy grilled crostinis and watch it disappear! Not only is it a total crowd-pleaser for the end of summer, but it’s also packed with live and active cultures to support your microbiome, plus high-protein goodness that loves your gut back! Comment “cheese” below and I’ll DM you the details! 👇 #LifewayLovesYourGuts #DiscoverLifeway #MadeWithLifeway #LifewayFarmerCheese @lifewaykefir
Is it officially fall yet? Because as soon as I he Is it officially fall yet? Because as soon as I hear “back-to-school”, I physically cannot stop myself from pulling out the warm amber tones, cozy textures, and all the autumn layers. 🍂 Comment “COZY” to get all the decor details in your DM. There’s something so exciting about doing a full fall living room refresh for the season and styling our fireplace mantel with realistic fall garland, stacking moody vintage books, and warm-toned fall built-in bookshelf decor. I love layering framed autumn art, fall family photos from years past, brass accents, and textured throw pillows to make the space feel extra cozy without feeling cluttered. Of course, I didn’t do it completely on my own! My sweet little shadow was either watching me while snacking or trying to find a way to “help” me with the mini pumpkins and flameless fall candles. Decorating with a toddler takes twice (maybe thrice) as long, and to be honest, the decor on the little table between the chairs only lasted for a minute, but watching her take in the magic of the new season makes every extra step worth it. Cozy throw blankets, fall foliage, and warm lighting are officially in full effect around here. Now if only this 90-degree heat would cool off a bit! Are you on the “decorate early for fall” team, or are you holding out until September? 🍁Comment “cozy” to get the details in your DM.
