October came + went in a snap for us, but I managed to sneak in some last minute Halloween baking with these Pumpkin + Cream Cheese Muffins, and I honestly just felt accomplished. Like by completing this one pumpkin focused bake, I did Halloween right.

Plus, these Blackberry + White Chocolate Scones also doubled as my post Saturday run brunch, and it was a lovely little something to look forward to.

Caramelized Onion + Apple Breakfast Bagels

The bagel sandwich I landed on - Caramelized Onion + Apple Breakfast Bagels. It’s like all of my favorite things to sneak into a grilled cheese (arugula + apple + caramelized onions + herby aioli) except with the added bonus of a sunnyside up egg with a runny yolk and a crispy everything bagel. It was loaded, a little messy, and a total pre-bartending treat.
