I'm back and it's Fall :)

Hi Everyone,
Well - I'm back to normal working hours and so excited to blog again! As fall begins here, my absolute favorite time of the year, I thought it be only fitting to share some of my favorite fall recipes and home decor. Tomorrow after work I am heading out to a local farm to pick up my order of grass fed, pasture raised beef. I cannot wait to see the farm and support organic farming. I'm receiving about 40 lbs of beef, hoping this will last me quite some time! This weekend I've already decided that I am making beef brisket, homemade Italian bread, and Brussels sprout casserole (sounds gross but is SO YUMMY!) I have included all of the recipes below. And of course, will most likely be sipping on a Pumpkin Spice Latte. What are your favorite fall activities?

My family omits the sesame seeds and the brown sugar. Everything else is the same. It's so dense and delicious...perfect for a fall day.

Brisket Recipe


Brisket Rub - this is for a 3 lb brisket:
1/2 cup paprika
1/4 cup chili powder
2 T Cumin
2 T Oregano
2 T Salt
1 T Black Pepper
1 T Onion Powder
2 tsp Garlic Powder
2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp ground coriander seeds

Just put all of these seasonings on the brisket. Top and bottom. If you're brisket isn't 3lbs-you'll want to reduce the amounts.

12 hours at 225 degrees.
