Pumpkin Dip & Craftoberfest

It is MID October in Florida, people. 

Which, yes, means that we are still experiencing temperatures in the high 80's.

I know I complain about this way too much but one day in the 60's

and I will be a happy, happy, happy girl. 

As if I'm not already all pumpkin'd out for the season, I came across

this little gem of a recipe on Pinterest and tried it out for the first

time for a football get together at my best friend's house.

Best part ? 

Four ingredients. 

Those are the types of recipes that just speak right to my little heart.

You will need:

Start by first allowing the cool whip to thaw out a bit.

Then whip together the pumpkin, vanilla pudding, cool whip and

gradually add 2 tsp of Pumpkin Pie spice.

Stir all ingredients together until smooth.
Serve with sliced Granny Smith apples, Nilla wafers or cinnamon graham crackers.
Easy peasy, yes?
In addition to this fabulous little fall snack, yesterday was so fun!
A big group of us went to Craftoberfest on the square.
$35 to drink and sample all the craft beer your heart desires for 4 hours? Sold.

Favorites included Florida Cracker and Blue Point pumpkin.. shocker.

I am LOVING being back in this little town of mine lately.
I feel wayyy more relaxed and have taken on kind of the
"gettin shit done" attitude. That MAY have been the power yoga sesh this morning
but EITHER way- loving Ocala, loving life.
Ok now that "yay me" rant is over- have a fab Sunday gals :)

Oh, October

Ohhhh October is right.

We are oooficially into our second week in October and I'm not

feeling any less anxious :/ 

My girlfran Ash over at Life After the Aisle dedicated a post

to "countdowns," which I thought was cute so 

let's take a look at what is on my plate for October!

Yes, that says Lynyrd Skynyrd on the 26th.

Needless to say there's a ton going on here.

It's semi-exhausting just looking at it!

Also if you're curious as to why this blog is titled
"Corin Bakes"
because all I have been blogging about lately is Fall festivities
and weekend escapades- hang tight, friends!
I have been ripping my hair out super busy and
my time in the kitchen, or lack there of, has been slim.
*BUT*
look how much baking I will be doing over the course of October!
My breast cancer fundraiser event?? BAKING!
Work Pinterest party?? BAKING!
And I promise I will dedicate an entire post to Pumpkin Spice :)
So like I said- hang tight! I promise I will have more treats and recipes posts!

In the meannnn timmmeeee-
(is it annoying that I constantly drag out letters? I think so.)
it's time for the Weekend Update link up!

Friday we saw Taken 2, which was awesome.
I'm sorry but, Liam Neeson is a badass.
I wanted to see Frankenweenie :/
but Bryan refused. Saturday we headed back to Lake Weir
to watch the Gator game! We met up with my best friend
AND HER NEW BOYFRIEND- which just so happens
to be Bryan's bestfriend
at her brother's lake house. After cruising on the lake for a bit
we ended up at Ron Zook's lake house (long story..)
to watch the end of the game. Watching the Gators
win over LSU at Ron Zook's was a rather exciting story to tell, I would say!
Fun Fact: He drinks Natural Light.
Oh and horray for a SEMINOLE LOSS.
They have been overrated since Day One.
Gators are now ranked #4 BOOM.
Sunday Bry & Chris went fishin
so Tiffany & I went to brunch and shopped.
*Please note: Bryan does look like he's movin in for a smooch
in that last picture- but he is ACTUALLY trying to hide
his shaved face. 
He did that Friday afternoon and I don't want to talk about it.
I love a little facial hair and he went man-scaping crazy.
Ugghhhhh. :/

Anyway, gggoo link up & have a fab Monday!
