    Fashion plates!!!! Love love love, I bet my old ones are still in my parents basement. My favorite thing this week is tomatoes from our garden (I’ve put them in every meal)!

    Go Huskers!!!!

  2. Angie says:

    I <3 your man candy. And the fashion plates!

  3. Panera John says:

    I will forever be cheering on the Cyclone sidelines, but we can agree to disagree there. :) Just so we’re clear, the ‘real’ pumpkin spice latte will be returning to Panera Bread on Sept. 14th. (along with our new oven roasted turkey harvest salad and new oven roasted turkey artichoke panini) ;-) I’m not sure both lattes are delicious though – how can you go wrong with pumpkin. That’s why I’m excited to try your pumpkin pancakes this weekend… I think they will be my culinary endeavor this weekend!

      Typo… I’m SURE both lattes are delicious though – how can you go wrong with pumpkin? :)

        Love the Panera pumpkin spice lattes! Can’t wait to see them on menu again.

  4. Sara says:

    Oh, I love that outfit! It’s totally “fall.” Maybe I’ll finally give in to the skinny jean trend this fall and try it out.

      Ebay does!

  7. Alyse says:

    I can’t believe your hair used to be that long! I forgot it was.
    I think that was the famous apple slurping video post, haha.

    That dip looks amazing as does the tater soup.

    1. Iowa Girl Eats says:

      Oh it was indeed. Eek.

    This weather sure feels like fall, doesn’t it? I’m so ready for college football. We’ll be on opposite sides though — I’m a Cyclone season ticket holder :)
