First — I am absolutely LOVING all the Dawson’s Creek fans coming out of the woodwork on my previous post. So jealous of those of you who have met the cast or been on set! Heh.

And second — please don’t forget to check out my “How to Host an Awesome Dinner Party” post and vote for me in Foodbuzz’s Project Food Blog Challenge #3, if you haven’t already! Thank you SO much for your support and positive feedback on the post 🙂

Anyway — I had such a fun day after my Food Science test yesterday! Since we knew we’d be getting out of class right after the test (at 4ish instead of 7ish!), a bunch of the girls and I planned a trip to get ice cream at Maple View Farm, a dairy farm about 15 minutes outside of Chapel Hill. How cute is this place?!

And, how hot is my friend Elle’s bright red Jeep?! Nothing better than a ride in a Jeep with the top off on a beautiful fall day with your girls!

The farm was SO beautiful. I could hardly believe it was only 15 minutes outside of town — it felt like we were in the middle of nowhere.

The ice cream was divine, too. So fresh 🙂 I got a cone with a scoop of coffee ice cream — my favorite!

007

We all enjoyed our ice cream on the rocking chairs on their porch. Beautiful view and great company 🙂

Auto-timer photo fail… lol!

And then, success 🙂

Heart them.

When I got home, I was feeling inspired and decided to whip up a batch of exactly what I was craving — my Sweet Potato Lentil Chili!

Yummm! Just as delicious as I remembered 🙂 I also added in some bok choy and a couple random black beans from the fridge.

Topped with cilantro:

Divine and perfectly warm and comforting for this cool weather! I packed some leftovers for lunch today 🙂

I’m off to relax for a bit and then head off to power yoga and dinner with a friend later tonight. Have a great night, friends!

    I made the sweet potato lentil chili today and my husband loved it. We are big sweet potato lovers in my house. It was fannetastic.
