Pumpkin Gingerbread Muffins

Friday, November 23, 2012

It’s Black Friday today. Here, in the U.S. Stupid, stupid Black Friday. You may recall that I ventured out on Black Friday last year. I was in Minnesota, and things were pretty tame; nothing as wild as I anticipated. This year, though, I’m in Oregon, and all signs point to there being high levels of ...

Spiced Latte Meringues with Pumpkin Cream Filling

Thursday, November 15, 2012

My husband doesn’t understand Internet Life. He thinks that people have to know each other or something to be friends. That’s the weirdest thing I’ve ever heard of. I have lots of friends who I’ve never met In Real Life (IRL). I mean, we move all around all the time, so I have tons of ...

Pumpkin Spice Ghoul Log with Apple Butter Cream Cheese Filling

Friday, October 26, 2012

I was talking to my friend, Tina, a few weeks ago about Yule logs; whether we’ve made them, good recipes for them, etc., when I was struck with inspiration. Why wait until Christmas for a Yule log?! I know that there is a lot of tradition surrounding the Yule log, but it’s so yummy, I ...

Harry Potter: Pumpkin Cheesecake Pasties

Monday, September 24, 2012

Did you guys know that it was Hermione’s birthday last week? September 19th, to be exact. Technically, she turned 33 years old this year. You may recall that I have established that, had my letter not been lost, the Trio would have been the Quatro. Whatevs. Last week, on the morning of Miss Granger’s birthday, ...

Oatmeal-Pumpkin Spiced Maple Cream Pies

Tuesday, September 11, 2012

These cookies gave me writer’s block. Really. I had this great idea to make them. I made them. They were delicious. I ate them. Then, I sat down to write this post. After staring at my keyboard for way too long, without having a single thought, besides how much I just wanna go eat another ...

Mini Pumpkin Bread with Cinnamon Pepita Streusel Topping

Wednesday, September 21, 2011

If you follow me on Facebook, you probably know that I’ve been running in the mornings. Usually. I mean, mostly. I run most mornings. It really just depends on whether it’s too hot. Or early. Or late. Or whether I’m tired, or hungry. Anyway. I usually go, but I’ve lost some of my oomph for ...

Cinnamon Caramel Apple “Pumpkins”

Tuesday, September 13, 2011

September is in full swing…the train has carried the kiddies off to Hogwarts, the nights are getting crisp and cool, and the leaves are even starting to change colors. Somewhere. Not in the Virgin islands, where it is hotter than hot. Granted, there’s still those less hot days when it’s just a hurricane outside instead. ...

Puppies Like Holiday Cookies Too! I Give You: Plumpkins

Wednesday, December 1, 2010

Now that the holidays are truly in full swing, I have lots of fun, seasonal treats to share with you, but before I get into that, I have something for our furry babies today (and just in time for Cookie Week too)! You may remember, just before Thanksgiving, I talked about my pooch, Loki’s, birthday and ...

Sweet Mini Pumpkin Cheesecakes with Ginger Snap Crusts

Tuesday, November 23, 2010

Yesterday I admitted my dislike for pumpkin pie. Today, I want to let it be known that my dislike doesn’t extend to all things pumpkin. One of my favorite treats ever is fresh pumpkin bread and I love pumpkin seeds, but even though I don’t like pumpkin pie, that doesn’t mean I don’t have a ...

Homemade Halloween Candy That’s a Scream to Make: Pumpkin Seed Brittle

Tuesday, October 26, 2010

When Halloween rolls around, everyone is all like, “candy, candy, CANDY!!” but nobody seems to actually make too much of it. Most people (myself included) make cupcakes or fun cookies. I mean, it’s understandable, though. Candy is flippin’ hard to make! Well, wait…actually…no, it’s not. It just seems like it would be. And I guess it ...
