Welp, this past week almost felt like California was going to experience Fall until you look at the forecast and it’s supposed to be in the 90’s again next week. Even though I missed California so much while I was gone, sometimes I remember the Fall and Winter I spent in New York and miss it. Of course there’s positives and negatives to each place but there really is something so beautiful about seeing actual seasons. The leaves changing colors, the cooler weather, getting to wear a sweater. Out here I’m still wearing shorts and tank tops which makes it feel more like Summer and not like Halloween is like two weeks away.
Anyway, in the spirit of Fall and Halloween and Pumpkin, I’ve been baking up tons of Pumpkin treats! I’m doing a weight loss challenge right now so trying to keep most things Paleo, can you send me some of your favorite Paleo Pumpkin treats!

Things I’m Loving:
Coffee Shop: Restoration Roasters // Corona, CA
Tried this spot for the first time the other day. Super cute little spot. Coffee was good too. I just had the House Cold Brew. Can’t wait to go back to try the Cold Brew flight and the Nitro Cold brew!
Restaurant: Blackburns Farm to Table // Corona, CA
Went here after a killer bike ride at Chino Hills State Park. Really like this spot and they have some good food. I had a chicken, pesto panini and it was delicious!
