So since I have acquired a boyfriend recently who loves to cook, I have felt the need to improve in the kitchen. For those of you in the Blogger World that don't know me all that well...I HATE TO COOK. However I also believe in an equal relationship so since he loves it so much I have been really putting effort into cooking more. Allreceipes.com has been a God send, most of the receipes are pretty easy to follow and don't make me feel like a total idiot in the kitchen. The other day at the garden we got rid of a bunch of pumpkins so I decided to take some home and cook something.

Living in GA is awesome because I have the unique opportunity to enjoy all of the things that make the season... something I took for granted in VA and missed terribly in FL. Growing up I always wanted to go to a corn maze but they were never around. We went to the pumpkin patch but never the maize (lol!). This year as apart of my "give Atlanta a chance" movement I decide to finally take advantage of the chance to get lost in ears of corn. An hour OTP ( Cagle's Family Farm ) later Jim and I were roaming like children...and since we were there we also did a hayride, petting zoo, fried pies and pumpkin picking. Overall a pretty great Autumn day.

Signs of a good time?!?
