Burlap Kitchen’s Top 5 Fall Posts

Hi, everyone! My name is Emily and I am the mastermind behind BurlapKitchen.com. Before I get started I would like to thank Missi for allowing me to guest post here on Life is Poppin’. She has been such a great friend and inspiration to me throughout this whole blogging process. I’m not sure what I would do without her.

I once asked a good friend of mine, who is also an interior designer, when it’s appropriate to decorate for fall. Her reply was, when the kids go back to school. If this is true then fall is here my friends and with fall comes mums and crunchy leaves and pumpkin everything. So for this post I wanted to do a round-up of Burlap Kitchens best fall posts!

 

Pumpkin Frape

1. Pumpkin Pie Frappe – Sugar spice and everything nice is the name of the game with this recipe. Pumpkin and vanilla ice cream add sweetness and a pinch of cloves for the spice. It tastes just like my mom’s homemade pumpkin pie. It is basically fall in a cup and the perfect treat for September when you have fall fever but it is still hot outside.

chili-pasta

2. Chili Pasta Casserole – Every year, when fall begins, I make a huge pot of chili. I freeze the chili in individual three cup containers that way when I crave this pasta, the chili is already made up. When the chili is pre-made this dish is super quick and easy

Aunt Mary's Apple Dumplings

3. Aunt Mary’s Apple Dumplings – Everyone says Aunt Mary’s Apple Dumplings are the best. And they kinda are.
Now let’s switch gears and check out a few awesome fall DIY projects

 

DIY- Wood PLank Flowers

4. Barn Board Door Hanger – I love the rustic look so when I find old barn boards I snatch them up like a warm pumpkin coffee on a crisp fall morning.

Burlap TP Napkin Rings

5. DIY Burlap Napkin Holders – I’ve been kind of obsessed with empty toilet paper rolls lately. There are so many cool DIY projects you can do with them! Like these rustic looking burlap napkin rings that I made. These are very inexpensive to make and fairly easy to make, also! I think they would be gorgeous for a wedding, and they cost next to nothing to make!

Making the Hardest Decision of My Life – A Double Mastectomy

If you have read the rest of my journey up to this point, you would know we left off shortly after having a breast MRI. The results of those images led me to need yet another mammogram followed by another ultrasound. Up until this point I had 23 appointments between all of the scans, in-person […]

Finding Multiple Breast Lumps and Needing an MRI

After the first mammogram I found myself back at the breast surgeon for the test results. Much to my surprise, there were multiple cysts found during the scan and the surgeon needed to take a closer look. Once the lengthly ultrasound scan was complete, he said I simply had too many cysts and he could […]

Finding the First Lump

Found a lump. Now what? Finding the first lump was a total fluke. It wasn’t because I was doing the heroic thing of performing a self-exam, like all women should do. Given my family history of breast cancer, you’d think this would be something I was already doing. I could come up with many excuses […]

Testing Positive for BRCA1

Be your own hero. You are much stronger than you think you are. Trust me. BRCA 1 & BRCA 2 mutations can increase the risk of breast cancer by up to 80% and the risk of ovarian cancer by 45% When I found out I tested positive for the BRCA mutation, I didn’t cry. In […]
