The Blended Blog has weekly prompts and while I often find them interesting I've never taken part before. But I'm so happy to be welcoming Fall that I decided to jump on board with their Fall 2.0 prompt.
1. FAVORITE FALL COLOR
It must be said: I loathe the color orange. It's vile. So even when decorating the house for fall I try to steer clear of orange tones. Same with the wardrobe. Instead I love deep plums and purples and wines. Sooo gorgeous.
2. APPLE CIDER - HOT OR COLD?
I love apple cider but unfortunately here at home I'm alone in that sentiment so I rarely buy it. Maybe this weekend I'll treat myself to some anyway. I love it any way at all, but hot is best.
3. CARAMEL APPLE - YES OR NO?
Meh. I'll say no. Not really a fan.
4. PUMPKIN DOUGHNUT OR APPLE CIDER DOUGHNUT?
Oh my. I don't really have a sweet tooth but even I think both of those options sound yummy. I don't know that I've ever had an apple cider doughnut but I'd be up to trying one. :)
5. LONG OR SHORT CARDIGAN?
Bring on the cardigans! I never met a cardi I didn't like and tend to wear them year-round - light-weight ones in the warmer months, chunkier ones in colder weather. And while I love a good long cardigan I find they can be trickier to style, so I'll go with short cardigans.
6. FAVORITE FOOTBALL OR FALL PARTY FOOD?
I don't know that this is specific to fall, but I love me some buffalo chicken dip. There are a million variations (and heat levels) but I keep it simple. And it's such a perfect game day snack. (And now I'm craving it.)
7. ORANGE OR WHITE PUMPKINS?
Um, didn't we just discuss my feeling for the color orange? So even though orange is traditionally the color of pumpkins, I go for the white ones. They're unique, they're pretty, and they're easy to decorate with.
8. HAYRIDE OR BONFIRE?
Bonfire. When I think of hayrides all that comes to mind is itching and sneezing.
9. FAVORITE FALL BAKED GOOD?
Again, no real sweet tooth, but maybe something on the not-too-sweet side like pumpkin bread.
10. MOST ANTICIPATED FALL ACTIVITY?
Birthdays! While it doesn't sound like a typical fall activity, fall to me has long meant a batch of family birthdays. From September 30 to November 10 there are five birthdays in my family and it helps make this a fun time of year.
Do you prefer orange or white pumpkins?
What's your favorite fall treat?
Do you have a special fall activity you're looking forward to?
I'm jealous of your non-sweet-tooth. I wish I could say the same, but ... no. :-)

People always say I’m so lucky to have no sweet tooth, but when it comes to potatoes and past? Look out. That’s my big downfall!
DeleteI like orange :) So orange pumpkins here. We go apple and pumpkin picking every year so that is a fall activity we love. And Apple Cider Donnuts are great!
ReplyDeleteApple and pumpkin picking! What a perfectly Fall thing to do. I love it. :)
DeleteI have a wicked sweet tooth! I have to order most of our chocolates or make them myself, because most candies are not vegan friendly. It would be so nice to run to the store and just grab all the chocolate things, haha.
ReplyDeleteI don't hate the color orange, but purple is my favorite color! I love the images you added. While I enjoy hot apple cider, I really love my apple cider tea! It's delicious.
Lindsi @ Do You Dog-ear?
I can’t remember the last time I bought chocolates or cookies/candy/etc. My husband is like me (no sweet tooth) so we just wouldn’t eat it.
DeletePurple is my favorite color, too. Love it! And apple cider TEA?! Oh, I’ll be looking for that! :)
I love those deep purple tones as well. So pretty. And yes, definitely try an apple cider donut. They are so delicious!
ReplyDeleteI just love those deep purple/plum colors. My favorites.
DeleteAnd I will be finding me an apple cider doughnut SOON! :)
I'm not a fan of caramel apples either, sadly. I wish I was! And I love purple and wine colors, although orange is okay- depends on the shade? And this is like the only time of year I really crave doughnuts. :)
ReplyDeleteI very rarely eat doughnuts either but they just seem to go with cold weather and warm drinks. :)
DeletePlum is very awesome, but my most favorite color is also a fall color - orange. Fall is cider donuts, if you ask me. Have fun celebrating all your fall birthdays!
ReplyDeleteI’m going to have to find me an apple cider doughnut...
DeleteYay for answering these! They are so fun, and I LOVE Fall. I kind of wish I didn't have a sweet tooth most of the time - then I could avoid all those bad-for-you treats. LOL
