Goodbye Summer Rolls with yellow squash & plum

It's official. Today is the last day of summer. 

It's been a rainy week (my favorite). Yesterday's rain brought in a nice cool breeze and I kept my windows and balcony door open all afternoon and through the night (another favorite). It got me all kinds of excited for fall... and the less expensive electric bill that comes with it (FAVORITE!).

Summer Squash Nut Bread Cookies {V}

**soft vegan cream cheese = a delicious grainy mess

Summer comes and summer goes. 

Cookies will always stay...

Roasted Lemon & Thyme Butternut Squash

I like when things come together with few ingredients. Simplicity is always appreciated.

I don't like peeling and chopping butternut squash. 

But I'm glad I did last night. 

Veggie Cakes

Despite the ridiculously hot weather, summer is coming to an end. One more month to go. The past few nights I've been chopping away, stocking up my freezer with summer veggies for the fall and winter months ahead.

Stuffed Acorn Squash

I love this moment. After dinner, comfy clothes on, sitting down with a completed to-do list for the day. It's over! I'm free to sit or lay for the rest of the night!
