Autumn is the perfect time for trying new treats. With the holidays around the corner, you need to find the perfect treat to bring to your family dinners! If you are a little worried about all of the sugar packed and butter stuffed treats you'll be indulging on, and you want something a little lighter but not as unhealthy, here are a few treats for you to try!

1) Cinnamon Sweet Potato Sticks

For this scrumptious treat, first preheat your oven to 420 degrees. Cut a sweet potato in strips as thick as you please, and toss them in a teaspoon of olive oil mixed with cinnamon and brown sugar. Bake for about 20 minutes, and enjoy!

2) Peanut Butter Dip

This is super simple - mix two parts peanut butter with one part Greek yogurt until blended and fluffy. You can eat it as is, add chocolate chips, or dip apple slices in it! You could even dip your cinnamon sweet potato sticks in it!

3) Vegan Ice Cream

I promise it is good! Slice two bananas and freeze them in a bag. Once frozen, put them in a food processor with frozen strawberries (or a fruit of your choosing) and a touch of almond milk. Chop until creamy! You could even do just bananas with a little cocoa powder.

4) Peanut Butter Bites

These are a great on the go snack! Mix peanut butter, honey, rolled oats, chia seeds, and chocolate chips. Once combined, roll in small balls, and refrigerate!

5) Chocolate Mix

Mix chocolate chips, raisins, almonds, and pretzels to make your own trail mix!

As you can see, I love chocolate. I hope you enjoy!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
