    Pumpkin Spiced Latte

    We are official one month away from my wedding. Well technically 29 days today… AH!! I would like to take a moment and thank caffeine for getting to me where I am now. Without it?  I am not quite sure that I would be alive at this point. No joke. Something about Fall though…makes me happy. SO happy! I love leaves, the cool weather, the going back to school (even though I have been out of school for yeaaaars). Wasn’t going back to school so much fun! Well for like a week, but still the back to school shopping and all that jazz! I also love Halloween and Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving…

    Pumpkin Honey Beer Bread

     Happy Halloween!!! What are you being for Halloween? I have a party that I am going to on Saturday, and I will make sure to post some pictures on Instagram for you all to see. 🙂 Lots of things have been happening this month. October is my favorite month, always has been. But this October 2013 has run me ragged! I was so lucky to have one of my maids of honor come this past weekend to spend some time with me and visit the wedding venue to discuss what our next moves needed to be. I even tried on some wedding dresses! AHHH! Went for something completely on the…

    Pumpkin Spice Rice Krispie Treats

    Hello my lovelies! Has been a while since I have posted something, but life kind of got in the way. I know you hear me out there. I had some family issues pop up which made it very hard for me to get any kind of cooking done. I won’t give you the details since it won’t do anything but make you sad. No need for that. Just if you get a spare moment, send a prayer towards my family if you can. We would gladly take all the prayers/positive thoughts we can get. So it is Fall huh? Finally my most favorite season is HERE. Lots of colorful leaves…

    Pumpkin Pie Cake with Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting

    OK, so first off this day has been like the day from absolute hell. GAH! Work is driving me absolutely bonkers. I feel like I keep spinning my tires and doing all this work for people and then I get trampled on. Ever have those weeks? Can’t seem to get anything done, or do anything the way people want to see it. I am one of those people that NEVER half asses anything. I don’t have the ability to. It must be in my blood or something, because I will literally not be able to sleep at night if I don’t do something to my full ability. Anyways, I am…

    Pumpkin Muffins

    Thank you again everyone for the Top 9 for my Spicy Asian Chicken Noodle Soup!! WOW! I am so happy that you all think my stuff is good enough to buzz. Made my day! Really 😀 I cannot tell you how glad I am that it is Friday today! I have had a hellish week. I just started a new job in the past 2 weeks, which is good because I get paid more, haha, but bad because I have WAY more work. I am still in that adjustment phase where it is new. I am sure some of you know how that goes. On a lighter note, I get…

    Pumpkin Coffee Cake

    Ever have one of those recipes that has been used and used and used until it looks like this (see left)?? My Mom has this book she has been using since she was younger to make breads, muffins, cakes…all sorts of goodies that I enjoyed when I was growing up. It was called the “Quick Breads Cookbook” © 1975. How great is that? I was lucky enough this past weekend to have her share this book with me and let me use one of the recipes out of it to create a coffee cake that is just perfect for Fall. The first day of Fall was last week and I…

    Off to PA

    I am off to Harrisburg this morning on business. Going to be MIA for the next couple of days. I don’t get back until Friday! The only good thing about the trip is that there will be Yuengling (YUM!). If you don’t know what that is check it out here Yuengling. It is the best beer ever! The cookies were a hit! Everyone really enjoyed them. I have to say I really do like the taste of the icing. I think the addition of the vanilla really helped. All my co-workers seemed to enjoy them too! Just as a fun sidenote…here was my pumpkin!   I hope you all have…
