Have you had a case of the cozies this October? With all the sunny, cooler days we have had it makes us want to snuggle up in our favorite joggers and read a good book or head out with our family and look for a few fun things to do before the weather gets too cold. Meadow Boutique is ready for all your needs during October. We have fashion that will keep you in trend and comfortable, especially for those of you working from home. You will look so put together on those Zoom meetings! We promise! Joggers have been taken to a whole new level. They seem to be right up there with our favorite jeans.

So much is happening til the end of the year. We have Halloween, an Election, Thanksgiving and Christmas. OK, OK go ahead and lie down. It is really too much to think about right now, but getting yourself stocked up for Fall is one of the fun things to think about. I have turned into an absolute clothing addict with all the Fall fashion we have in the boutique right now. On any given day you will see me wearing something that is off the racks. I love all the colors……makes me feel warm and classy all over!

Speaking of warm….I know parents are having to do little projects with their kids for school these days - here’s one the whole family can enjoy or if you don’t have kids at home make it for yourself. I did and I am hooked. Adding a little ice cream to this treat is so delicious. An apple a day will keeps the doctor away! I can picture you right now in your warm joggers and sweater from Meadow having a blast making this kid friendly snack.

Kid Friendly Baked Apples

Warm baked apples are easy for little ones to chew and stuffed with an irresistible streusel topping made from whole grain oats, brown sugar, and spices.

Ingredients

1/4 cup oats, dry
1/4 cup flour, all-purpose
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ginger, ground
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
2 tablespoons butter, unsalted
4 medium apples
4 tablespoons heavy whipping cream or ice cream

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a bowl add the first 7 ingredients, and use your hands to mix well.
Core the apples, and cut each in half. Place them in a baking dish, face up, and fill each apple with an even amount of oats. Pack it lightly until heaped over the top. Drizzle with cream. Bake for 40 minutes or until filling is golden and apple is soft.
Cool for 10 minutes, then serve; add more cream if desired. (or ice cream - my pick)

You got the recipe now all I can say is “Get yourself and your friends into Meadow.” We are packed full with so many Fall pieces. No, I am not kidding, we had 18 boxes arrive in one day. Our racks are full of so many gorgeous Fall colored items. I don’t think I have ever seen the boutique this full since I have worked here. It will take you at lease 3 times around the place to see everything, because there is so much that will catch your eye. Shelley has really put her heart into finding the best and most unique pieces for Fall. I love that not everyone will have the same top, jeans, joggers or jackets that we sell at Meadow. Shelley purchases 6 of each item so when they are gone, well, I‘d like to say that we would get more, but it is highly unlikely. We will always have our regulars like Nature jeans and Dreamer sweaters, so that’s why we put out the blog so you can see what’s new and get in and get it while the getting is good!

We have a little bit of everything this week with truly amazing colors. See below for yourself. Some items have 2 looks, just for fun! I know you will not be disappointed. Thank you for sharing October with us - we look forward to all that life has to offer in the months that are left in the unforgettable year of 2020. We wish you and your family a wonderful Fall season! Bring on the pumpkin pie please…..
