TGIF!!

This week sure has seen its fair share of excitement! If you are following me on Instagram you would have found out that I will now be doing the weekly recipe for our local paper here in Hickory, NC!!! I was so excited when I got the news about a week ago! I have been doing flips in my head every since it was published on Wednesday! So if you by chance live near Hickory, NC grab a paper every Wednesday to get some delicious recipes!

The last couples of days have been rather raining but it is more than welcomed after the dry spell we have had! It is turning to fall rapidly and I need to be in the mountains! I went to school in the mountains and there is nothing like Fall in Western NC. The colors are absolutely amazing and I saw a picture on Facebook earlier this morning about how peak color will be coming up pretty quick! It takes it a little longer down here in the foothills but still there is nothing like it! If you can ever get on the Parkway at the beginning of October ever it is just beautiful and breath-taking! …

As you can see I am super excited for the up and coming season. I have already gotten all of my decorations out!
(okay so I really need to update my decorations…)If anyone has any ideas of fall decorations please feel free to share with me! I am a crafty person around midnight to 1 o’clock in the morning when I am beyond delusional and I feel the need to decorate every inch of my tiny 700 square foot apartment! (Yeah I get that bad!)

That state usually happens when I want to impress my mom when she comes over in order to distract her from the loads of laundry that I haven’t done yet that week. Don’t worry I do it weekly! (or week and a halfly…Yes I made that up!) …

Happy Weekend Everyone!

I hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend or an adventure filled one, which ever you prefer! Saturdays are typically my Fridays because when owning a store you probably should be open on Saturday because it is usually the biggest day of the week!

Anyways, I have a friend who comes from England by way of Florida (he lives in Florida now but is originally from England), and while he was up visit me here in the beautiful foothills of the North Carolina Mountains, my mom made this amazing dessert! She made this dessert for the first time well over 4 years ago but it is still iconic in our family today. The best thing that I can think of about this beautiful dessert is that it can easily be used with any fruit you want; apples, blackberries, blueberries or even a triple berry delight!

However, it didn’t dawn on me until just recently that I can actually play with this recipe! I know, I know what am I thinking changing mom’s recipe? Well how am I going to learn? So I played and I realized I could potentially make it to be gluten free, vegan, paleo or well all of the above! So I did it! I knew I had to share this recipe! …
