And, as always, here is a fun little fall survey for your reading enjoyment. I am absolutely loving this cooler weather and I am hoping it is here to stay!
1. Apple picking or pumpkin picking?
You know, I don't think I have ever been apple picking before, so pumpkin picking wins by default. Don't get me wrong, I love a good pumpkin patch, but I would love to give apple picking a go!
2. Favorite apple recipe?
Man, I don't think I have ever really used apples in a recipe (I don't like apple pie, or pie at all, for that matter), but I love honeycrisp apples and peanut butter. Does that count as a recipe?
No? Okay, well here are a few apple recipes that I would love to try:
My favorite snack |
3. Favorite pumpkin recipe?
Pumpkin-walnut muffins. Nom.
4. Favorite soup recipe?
Black bean soup. I could eat that all day long! I actually tried to make it for myself yesterday, but my chicken broth was old. And I mean pretty old. Sad day.
5. Football: on tv or in the stadium?
TV, for sure. I absolutely love watching football, but I really don't enjoy watching it in person at a stadium. I like being able to multitask, and be able to have breakdowns when things start to get too intense. Plus, who doesn't love ordering their favorite food, cuddling up with a blanket and cheering on their team to victory?
I did just that last night - it was my first time trying Thundercloud Subs and I give it two thumbs up! |
6. Favorite football team to cheer for?
7. Daylight Savings Time: love it or hate it?
I hate losing that hour of sleep, but I love that it stays light for longer. More time for playing outside, right? That's how I used to see it when I was younger, but I definitely still appreciate that extra bit of daylight.
8. How do your workouts change (if at all) for fall time?
I start running more. Even if it is on the treadmill, the cooler fall weather helps to motivate me to run, as opposed to the summer months when I start falling apart after running one mile, even if I am inside! The fall weather in Texas is seriously perfect - not too cold, and it is such a relief from the hot summer months. It's also great because fall is typically the heart of race season, so I am more likely to take my longer runs outside
Not a bad view to have while trucking through a long run |
9. Favorite Halloween candy?
Swedish fish. Although, I don't know many people who give those out on Halloween. I used to cherish Snickers and Three Musketeers as a child, though.
10. Any fashion essentials for fall?
Leggings and an oversized t-shirt. But if I am actually trying to be presentable to society, sweaters and boots are a must-have.
11. Do your meals change when the weather changes?
I crave chili and soup, especially on those cold bitter nights after a long day of school. I need something to warm my body and soul!
12. Favorite fall dinner?
I don't think I have a favorite fall dinner! I feel as though I eat generally the same types of things all year, but with less emphasis on soup and chili during the warm spring and summer months. I guess squash would be considered a "fall food"? So, I'll go with my turkey spaghetti squash!
13. Favorite fall dessert?
Pumpkin frozen yogurt. Yes, please.
14. Best thing about fall?
The cooler weather, the holidays, the decorations, pumpkin flavored everything, sweaters, football, the changing leaves? I know some of you Northeasters will roll your eyes at the idea of the last one down here in Texas, but I love it! Texas forever!
There's really nothing bad about fall, well, except for the fact that the arrival of fall means school is in full swing (and likely causing me way more stress than is necessary). Like the state I am in now, for instance.
16. Best thing (that will happen) in fall 2012?
Oh man, there are so many good things that will happen this fall! I will vote in my first election, teach lessons to middle school students, continue to cheer those Horns onto victory, and do fun Austin-y things in the perfect fall weather!
