Your food always looks SO good Allie! Those muffins rock my world. I am going to Padova or Venice tomorrow with another au pair – I am so stoked! Hmm either Grey’s anatomy with my friend when her grandma died or the real world brooklyn both probably brought me up to the 5 or 6 hour mark.

I have so much to say on this post, which is kind of ironic because you didn’t say much, but the pictures speak a thousand words!

Okie dokie, first….Thank you love for the terrific award! I am so blessed! :) I’ll do my part in my next post and pass it along. You’re so sweet and I love you to death!

Second, those muffins looks so freaking incredible. Are they the Butternut Squash muffins you made? Wow, I’ll be trying to recreate these soon!

Next up, that new Cliff Bar looks deveine. I just bought the Pumpkin Pie Spice and was so thrilled but now I have a new one to keep my eye out for.

Fourth, I LOVE your quesadilla. BN Squash and cranberries are one of my favorite combos, but AB too? Now that is pure genius!

And last but not least, I ALWAYS dip my aprictos into choclate spread too! Best little treat in the world.

Okay darling girl, have a fab weekend. :)

WOOOOOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, Allie! Thank you for my award! I love it! This is the first award I received in bloggie land and the first award I’ve received in a long time. Gracias! You’re the best! I feel honored that you think I’m ‘Over the Top’! It’s such a compliment coming from you – because I think you and your blog are both wonderful and so admirable! Muah! You made my day and weekend. Thank you again!

OK, off to email you my submission for BSI. I can’t post it because I still CAN’T upload pics – can you believe? And really, what’s a post without pics? Not a very fun one IMHO :)

Have a great night. Thank you again!
