Fall Fun To-Do List

I'm so excited about fall! It is my hands-down-absolute-favorite-cannot-get-enough season. I ran across a great Fall Fun To-Do List and I decided to make it our bucket list for the fall of 2014. My goal is to capture me and/or my family completing each one of these items. It's a challenge I gladly accept.
Anne of Green Gables <3 and how you revived in me the love for fall ;)

To kick things off, I'm linking up with Amanda at Tickled Pink for her Countdown to Halloween. I hope you'll join in!

Countdown to Halloween

Here are a few things that I've accomplished so far...(*Items marked with FFL are directly from the Fall Fun To-Do List.)

I created our fall chalkboard art for the family room...



Hayride (FFL): I took G on her first hayride. She really enjoyed herself. Not only did she get to experience the hayride but she also had her first face painting experience.




Favorite scarf (FFL): I recently bought a new scarf and I love it! Something about scarves just says "fall".

Love Print Infinity Scarf



Of course I couldn't let Tuesday slip by without sharing a recipe.  This one is for the slow cooker. Mine gets double the use during the cold months and this tasty dish is surprisingly versatile.


Crock pot Hawiian Chicken
Ingredients:
2 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
1c pineapple tidbits with juice
1/2c chili sauce
1/4c water
1/2tbsp corn starch

Directions:
Place the chicken in the crock pot. Pour in the pineapple with juice and the chili sauce.  Cook on low for 7-8 hours. 

Remove the chicken and shred or chop. 

In a small bowl combination the water and corn starch.  Mix well. Whisk into the crock pot. Add the chicken and allow to cook on high for 10 minutes.  The sauce will thicken slightly. 

This serves well over rice and veggies or sets well on a toasted bun. Enjoy!

I hope you'll join in the fun this fall!

    My crock pot definitely pulls double duty in the fall and winter, even though we live in FL. It is just so fun to pull it out for the fall months! Great recipe, might have to try it sometime!
    I adore the scarf! And hayrides! I dream of taking Aria on a hayride, I can't really find them around here. I love it.
    I love that you added wedding anniversary to your fall list! My half anniversary is this month and while we don't really do anything celebratory I still like to mark it!
    Thanks for linking up today!!

    I'm sure the hayride was so much fun and I totally agree that Fall is most definitely the time I use my crock pot the most - just makes chili that much more delicious!!

    My crock-pot always pull heavy rotations during the cooler months, too. I'll have to try out the recipe you listed. Sounds delish!

    Yay for first hayride! I still need to take my little on her first (and she's not that little anymore)! That scarf looks very fun and perfect for fall! Thanks for linking up with us today!
