cinnamon spice and everything nice.

it most certainly felt like fall on saturday.  and my favorite kind of fall day, at that.  we started off our weekend with breakfast at our favorite place.  a treat that was long overdue too.  i think the last time we were there was before ottawa.  this is the place that jon and i went to for our official first date...  it will forever hold a special place in my heart.

after breakfast was a run around the house with all the cleaning gear and vacuum in tow.  the husband and the cat snoozed as i cleaned, which is to be expected when you wake him up before 9am on a saturday.  by noon the laundry was done, floors scrubbed and i had a sparkling clean tub.

and all of that had to be done of course, before i could get to my favorite fall activity - yummy, delicious treats that come from the kitchen.  yesterday was my attempt at 2 new projects: numero uno-  homemade granola {yes, i am a hippy at heart}, and two- no bake cookies....  and i know you think that is just impossible for a gal that loves cooking {and chocolate + peanut butter}, but its true!  i have never made a batch that has actually turned out.  2 attempts in the past that failed {so horrible, i had to just scrap 'em} so i just never tried again until yesterday.  last week i got an email from lara j. asking me to send her a recipe for them.  so i had to test a few out before i could tell her how to make them.

so it was pretty perfect.  a perfect fall day actually, to have a house smells like cinnamon + treats to munch on the rest of the weekend.

hope you all enjoyed your weekend as much as we did!
