salted caramel sauce

I use salted caramel in a lot of recipes, but I thought it would be nice to have it in it’s own “stand-alone” post, so you can easily find it for future use!

pumpkin pie (dairy free, egg free, gluten free)

Hey friends! Here’s another project that stemmed from my bro-in-law being on an elimination diet during the Fall season. (Remember I shared the dairy free pumpkin spice ice cream here). I didn’t want him to be left out on Thanksgiving (us Canadians celebrate in October!), so I started testing out different versions of pumpkin pie.

dairy free pumpkin spice ice cream (with coconut milk)

How is it already November? I have a love-hate relationship with Fall to be honest. It’s one of my favourite times of the entire year…and yet it’s one of the craziest, most stressful times on the farm. So many pumpkins to sell! And school tours to run. And on and on, etc. Yet, it is when the farm is at (perhaps) it’s most beautiful, with the leaves changing colour, the mist settling in at the base of the mountains behind it, and the last of the apple crop hanging on. Most of the craziness ends at the end of October though, and we start to clean up the farm and gear down in preparation for a restful Winter season.

apple pecan cinnamon swirl coffee cake

Life on the farm has been in full swing for the two months now!! Apples galore!! Cider making!! Squash and corn and potatoes and more!! Hence the wee break I took….ha! And our apple u-pick is nearly done, so so crazy. I’m already missing walking through our orchard at peak harvest. There’s truly nothing like it!

an autumnal gathering in the orchard // pumpkin bundt cake recipe

I’ve always dreamed of setting up a table in our apple orchard, filled with sweet Autumn treats, with candlesticks and gold accents, and with a string or two of lights swaying above. For years now, I’ve thought about it. How dreamy it would be. Perhaps for my birthday I would think. And each year, the chaos of Fall would take over, and I just couldn’t seem to find the time or energy.
