Happy Halloween!
I hope the weekend was wonderful and that your week is off to a fantastic start. The weather in Denver has been so warm (around 80 degrees!) the past few weeks, so Bernie and I have been getting out to run and walk as much as possible. While I appreciate the cooler weather because it truly feels like fall and the holidays are right around the corner, I’m totally digging this warm weather.
Here are some of my favorite things from October this year!
I met the folks of FODY at FNCE a couple of weeks ago after finding them on Instagram and I am so thankful I did!! They were kind enough to share their pasta sauce and salsa with me, both of which are low FODMAP and 100% delicious. Approved by my mom and Brian 😉
On my last day in Boston, Brian and I walked around South Boston before catching our flight home. While walking we stopped into Broadway’s Pastry and Coffee Shop and this little gem jumped out at me. It was delish!
This nourish bowl has steamed carrots, sautéed kale, brown rice, roasted chickpeas and Thai Peanut Everything Sauce on top. Talk about satisfying!
Brian’s cousin visited us at the beginning of the month, so we took her to the recently opened Denver Central Market. I loved the bustling atmosphere and the delicious food to look at (and eat!). There were also lots of beverage options (cocktails, beer, kombucha, coffee, etc), and sweet treats! We were noshing on dinner, so opted for more savory options but seriously loved it all. I can’t wait to go back!
I absolutely love creamy clam chowder, but honestly rarely eat it. Well, I heard that when in Boston enjoying a comforting bowl of this classic soup is a must do…and I couldn’t agree more!! Also, The Barking Crab was situated right on the water with beautiful views of Boston Harbor. It was a wonderful way to eat lunch!
You can read more about my full experience with the are by clicking the link above, but I am very thankful I have another half marathon under my belt.
I could always use a bit more yoga in my life, but I made sure to get a couple of classes in this month and loved every second of it.
The leaves are just gorgeous here in Denver, and with the nice weather I can’t resist getting outside with Bernie (and his buddy Cooper!) every chance I get.
I arrived in Boston on Friday night so I would have all day Saturday to explore the wonderful city of Boston. We walked along the Freedom Trail and really got to see a ton of the city before lunch time! Exploring on foot is my absolute favorite way to see a new place.
I loved being able to explore new-to-us places with my mom and sister. It was a great weekend 🙂
We visited the Molly Brown house, ate at Prohibition, checked out the salon my sister works at, and loved every second of it.
The entire weekend was absolutely amazing and I cannot wait to go to FNCE 2017.
Whenever we get together it’s usually for a rehearsal or performance, so there isn’t a ton of time to chat. It was so wonderful to just hang out with these inspiring and dedicated ladies without music being involved 🙂
Thank you to everyone who voted! I have officially made it to the TOP 3! The final round of voting is this Friday, November 4 through this Sunday, November 6. I’ll make sure to share links via social media, but I would really appreciate any and all votes 🙂
OK, have I been living under a rock the past 27 years or did pastel pumpkins just become a thing? I feel like I’ve been seeing pumpkins of all colors everywhere this year and I LOVE it! I can’t wait to have a front porch to fill with these decorations some day.
Brian and I celebrated with friends on Saturday night and dressed up as Safari people with Bernie as our lion. The costume was super simple and pretty cute if you ask me. Here are links to the costume items we purchased:
These spooky cupcakes were also enjoyed 🙂
That’s all I have from last month!
Based on this post, here are a few similar ones you should check out.

You are such a rockstar my friend! Keep up the great work! Hope to get to VooDoo donuts one of these days!
I’m going to Boston this weekend! Super excited to explore! So happy that you made it to the top 3! Keep us posted on the voting! :] I’ll try to stop back on Friday to vote again!
P.S. Those cupcakes are adorable!
Yes! I 100% agree that pastel pumpkins are a new thing (or we’ve been living under the same rock!!). And congrats on being a finalist…just voted! 🙂
We visited Central Market for the first time in October and I loved it. Such a beautiful space! That said, aside from the (delicious) salads we had from the Green Seed, there are very few options for vegetarians, let alone vegans. But I’m sure we’ll be back! It’s so cute and another great addition to Denver.
I agree that it is super cute! Sorry you weren’t able to find many things to eat, though! If my memory is correct I believe High Point Creamery has non-dairy coconut based ice cream, Crema has almond milk as an option, and Green Seed has lots of customizable salads. I am wondering if S and K Provisions has some heart side dishes that are vegetarian or vegan. I wasn’t looking for that kind of option, so I don’t remember. Glad you liked what you were able to find!
Your costumes are awesome. I’ve ALWAYS wanted to do a family costume where we do How the Grinch Stole Christmas and our vizsla Beau can be Max. You guys are definitely #lifegoals for Vizsla Halloween costumes 🙂
Thanks, Christen! Making Beau Max would be PERFECT!!! Can’t wait to see it next year 🙂
Your costumes are so adorable! Love how you incorporated Bernie into it. Congrats on getting to the top 3!
Thank you, Gretchen! 🙂
That pasta sauce!! MUST find!
I think it’s only sold online right now, but it’s so worth the order!
