I could get used to Octobers like this. In fact, I can’t remember a September and October as beautiful as this year. The sun is shining, the temperatures are in the 70s, the flowers still look really good.
Some of the trees are starting to change into the stunning reds and oranges we all look forward to seeing. The vibrant colors seem to only greet us for a few days, but they are so worth it.
I’ve got a mix of peaches and apples in my fruit bowls. The peaches are shockingly good still. I can’t eat enough of them. The Honeycrisps are juicy and crisp too. I’m afraid fruit is making up a large portion of my diet, but I’m okay with it.
Basically I’m celebrating summall or fammer … you know a combination of summer and fall. And I really like it. It’s my favorite season actually. Too bad according to the weathermen it’s about to come to an end.
Maybe we can work some summter or wimmer – summer and winter – into our worlds. That would really be something.
Even if in my house, I’m in denial and eating tomatoes and blueberries like it’s July, I know you’re ready for pumpkin spice and lots of it. Luckily, I’m here to help.
Pumpkin Spice Energy Bites are sooooo easy to make. They’re no bake, pretty healthy, and gluten free. Whether you grab them on your way out the door for a quick breakfast or as a pick me up in the afternoon, you definitely need these bites in your life.
They definitely pack the pumpkin spice punch and I found them to be rather addictive, especially when chilled. They are pretty much a healthy piece of candy. You know I’m obsessed with candy, so healthy candy is high on my priority list.
Celebrate summall and make these Bites to enjoy the season!

We’ve had a gorgeous fall here, too – one of the best I remember.
And your energy bites look so tasty!
We’ve had a warmish fall, too, but with enough cool nights to keep things interesting (and soup on the menu!). These pumpkin bites look wonderful! Perfect for the season, and such a creative recipe. Thanks!
Wow, what a great way to satisfy the sweet tooth! Never heard of pumpkin chips but these sound great. I love anything with PB and now pumpkin!! Thanks. Fall here has been wonderful…70 degrees today!
