Pumpkin Blondies

October 5, 2010

I wanted to try this recipe since last year as I included it in my pumpkin round-up. I made it last week for our play group and so glad I did because I could have eaten the whole pan myself, they were moist, chewy and pumpkin-y. Just about everything you could look for in a [...]

German Chocolate Upside Down Cake

September 7, 2010

For DT’s birthday last week I wanted to shake things up a bit, make something familiar, but yet slightly different. I am crazy like that, ha ha.

Cherry Mini Cakes

February 9, 2010

I love making and creating sweet little treats to share with loved ones on Valentines day.

But see I’ve done all of those and while [...]

I love this time of year with cooler weather and beautiful fall colors all around. But for me fall equals pumpkins, in the store, in the garden, decorations, yummy yummy yummy pumpkin recipes, all of it. I just love pumpkins with their beautiful colors and unique wonderful flavor.
