Perfect Thanksgiving Leftovers: Turkey and Dumplings

Tuesday, November 29, 2011

Happy Tuesday, guys! How was your weekend? I had a nice, long holiday weekend. It was an excellent opportunity to plan for the zombie apocalypse. Yes, I’m talking zombies again today. I promise I won’t talk about them again for a while. I promise. I can’t help it, though. It’s become a tad bit of ...

Perfect Thanksgiving Dinner: Sparkling Spiced Apple Cider

Wednesday, November 23, 2011

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in the U.S. Thanksgiving….poor holiday. It’s practically looked over nowadays, what with Christmas only a month later. Now, this year, Black Friday (the biggest sale/shopping day if the year here in the states) is even encroaching on the day. Black Friday always falls on the day after Thanksgiving. It’s a day ...

Tuesday, November 22, 2011

Before I post my last one or two Thanksgiving ideas, I wanted to share a recap of some of the recipes I’m making this year, and some other ideas I’ve used in the past. Obviously, they’re mostly dessert, but there’s some delicious salad, and of course, some incredible dinner rolls. If you’re still trying to ...

Perfectly Pinterested Perfect Thanksgiving Dinner: Caramel Filled Brownies and Beautiful, Easy Mums

Sunday, November 20, 2011

I’m posting on a Sunday. This is totally weird. It’s like I’m in the Twilight Zone or something, except in color, and with baked goods instead of, like, scary aliens or murderous dollies. Several weeks ago, as I was perusing Pinterest for nothing in particular, I came across this gorgeous photograph of mums laid out ...

Elegant Autumn Rice Crispy Treats

Monday, November 14, 2011

I have a new obsession lately. You may have noticed it, as it’s been making itself known on the blog. I am recently obsessed with painting my fingernails wild and whacky colors. Here’s the thing: I hate painting my fingernails. Hate it. I love having my fingernails manicured and looking nice, but I hate painting ...

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 ...

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 ...

Thanksgiving Cookies: Soft Ginger Sandwiches with Creamy Ginger-Orange Filling

Monday, November 22, 2010

I have to be honest, I’ve never been a big fan of most traditional Thanksgiving desserts, like pumpkin or pecan pie. In fact, I’m not really a fan of pies, in general. There, I said it. I don’t (usually) like pie. In most cases, it’s the texture (this is normally where people look at me ...
