On Sunday, Joshua and I packed up some breakfast and hit the beach for a little morning date. Just us, a flock of seagulls and pelicans (also there for breakfast), the soothing sound of crashing waves and a glorious sun rise. Okay, and also a few passersby who smiled at us and sighed how cute we were with our little blanket and bagels.
On the mini menu we have....
Cinnamon crunch bagels and homemade pumpkin spice cream cheese (recipe below)
Orange apple cider and a bowl of grapes and blackberries.
It was such a beautiful morning and I'm so glad we were able to wake up early enough to see the sunrise, which can be difficult on a weekend morning. But I this was worth it. I'm thinking this would be lovely weekend tradition. Now, if only this long distance thing vanished.
Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese Recipe
8 oz of cream cheese, softened1/2 cup of pumpkin puree
3 tablespoons of brown sugar
2 tablespoon of maple syrup
1/2 tablespoon of honey
1 teaspoon of pumpkin spice
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Mix the cream cheese, sugar and syrup, then add pumpkin, spices and vanilla. Refrigerate and enjoy!
