Fall is on its way...

It was so nice when I woke up this morning and saw it was only 73 degrees at 5am. Even though it still reached 100 fairly quickly, it's a small sign our fall is coming! I already notice the pool water coolin' down.

Quite the busy day so far. After getting the list together we headed out and got most of the groceries for the next few days. This upcoming week features lots of new recipes again for us with a couple new items we have not tried before. Even though the dishes for dinner so far sound exciting - I think i've got more important things on my mind... Like this

Dark chocolate and peanut butter - make sure you stick around and see what we make with this combo. I'm not sure I can even wait! Dinner tonight will be simple grilled turkey dogs with hot mustard and spicy soy/flaxseed tortilla chips.

Dvd from Netflix tonight will be Man of the House with Tommy Lee Jones. This looked like a good comedy - I hope the reviews hold up! Stay tuned for more of our food adventures everyday this week!

    MMM, can't wait to see what you're making.

    Speaking of chocolate, I've been reading a lot lately about the health benefits of dark chocolate, so I pick up a bag of Ghirardelli dark chocolate squares yesterday for dh and I to share. No one had to twist my arm to buy chocolate!

    I'm still so impressed with your photography, Joe...I made dh sit down and look at your delicious pictures today....he was impressed :-)

    Pb and chocolate is one of my favorite combos- Im excited to see what you do with these two.

    On a sidenote, I love flaxseed chips from TJ's, though I prefer the original flavor over the spicy.

    What I really love about the picture, is your balancing act for the chocolate. Great shot.

    Oh goodness, it's only 8 in the morning, and you've already made me hungry for chocolate. Great.

    By the way, I love your reminder that the coming of autumn feels quite different in the desert.
