Hello.

So I've decided to give this blogging thing a try.  We'll see how long I stick with it :)

We are mid-way through our 9th week in New Hampshire.  Wow!  In some ways it feels like it's been longer than that, in some ways it feels shorter.  I am absolutely loving all the fall colors out here!  Maybe it's the colors combined with the amazing mountain view from our apartment windows, but this year fall seems pretty awesome.  It could also be the fact that I also have time to actually enjoy it this year, instead of being busy all the time, which is a nice change.

Lately I've been in the mood to bake, which is both good and bad.  I am seriously working with the smallest kitchen in the world (complete with a mini-stove!), but at least the stove works.  I have absolutely fallen in love with this blog.  Her recipes are amazing, and pretty simple.

This week I made Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies



and Cookie Dough Truffles,




along with some Oreo truffles too.  One perk to having 17 boys living down the hall is that I have many eager taste-testers.  We decided that the cookies would benefit from having some chocolate chips added to the mix!

Next on the list:  black bean hummus, courtesy of my wonderful cousin.  Hopefully mine turns out as good as hers!

In other news...our car is officially registered in the state of NH.  It passed its inspection (who knew cars needed to be inspected in order for you to drive them!) with flying colors.
