Spinach-Artichoke Dip and Spoopy Season

As I thought we would be "eas'n into the season"...Fall is definitely here.  We are even expecting our first snow fall this coming week.  Our mornings are super chilly and the afternoons are full of warm sunshine and beautiful sunsets!  This is without a doubt my favorite time of year!

My home's current condition clearly shows that I have spent way too many hours on Pinterest over the last ten years!...

....and too much $$$ at Kirklands and Hobby Lobby!

I think it goes without saying that I love decorating for fall.

My daughters call it "Spoopy" time...and now they've got me saying it.

I think it means to decorate a little bit spooky with a little bit of sparkle.

I also need to satisfy my husband's sweet tooth with some fall treats as well.

Well, okay...I do love my Trader Joe's Pumpkin Butter too...pour that beautiful goodness over a brick of cream cheese, open a box of Original Wheat Thins and call it good!

I also love these Fall Leaf Chips that Trader Joe's releases every year.  So good!!!

They paired beautifully (for the photos and my taste buds) with this Spinach-Artichoke Dip.
