Hi there!
I'm not sure if you saw last week's post- Gardening in the City, but my daughter's sunflower that we shared has now bloomed and it's even more gorgeous!

I adore how this photo captures the love between them!
We went to Green Bluff, WA this week to visit a few of our favorite orchards.

We ended up coming home with a basket to collect our tomatoes and peppers in from the garden. Before we found the basket we were often just piling them up in our shirts.
Besides visiting Green Bluff, we made one of our favorite fall recipes the kids especially love- Pumpkin Spiced Donut Holes! I've shared the recipe below.
Pumpkin Spiced Donut Holes
Yields: 24 donut holes
Ingredients:
Donut:
1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose baking flour (I used Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free All Purpose Baking Flour)
2 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. sea salt
½ cup cane sugar
1/3 cup vegan butter substitute, + 1 tsp. for greasing pan (I used Earth Balance Organic Whipped Buttery Spread)
2 Tbsp. pumpkin puree
1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
½ cup vanilla rice milk
Topping:
1 cup cane sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
½ cup vegan butter substitute, melted (I used Earth Balance Organic Whipped Buttery Spread)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease a mini muffin pan with vegan butter alternative.
In a medium bowl add gluten-free flour, baking powder, and sea salt. Whisk to sift ingredients, set aside.
In a large mixing bowl add 1/3 cup vegan butter alternative, ½ cup cane sugar, and pumpkin puree. Beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add the flour mixture ½ at a time, and mix until combined.
Add the rice milk and beat until smooth.
Divide the batter amongst the 24 mini muffin cups, about 1 Tbsp. batter or a rounded melon baller per muffin cup.
Bake for 12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
For The Topping:
Add 1 cup of cane sugar, 2 tsp. cinnamon and 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice to a large zip top bag, and shake to mix ingredients together.
Melt the ½ cup of vegan butter alternative.
Dip each donut hole into the melted vegan butter, turning to coat the entire donut hole.
Drop the donut hole into the bag of spiced sugar. Shake to evenly coat each donut hole. Repeat for all 24 donut holes.
