Pumpkin Crunch – The Perfect Thanksgiving Dessert

I don’t know about you all, but my family had an awesome Halloween.  We spent it with some of our best friends and their kiddos (who are some of our kiddos best friends.) Before we headed out into the dark drizzle with our to-go hot chocolates, we gathered first at our house for hot spiced honeycrisp… Continue reading Pumpkin Crunch – The Perfect Thanksgiving Dessert

Pumpkin Pies in a Muffin Tin

I’ve been wanting to do this since I discovered Pinterest a few years ago, but I just haven’t gotten around to it yet.  I was really wanting pumpkin pie a couple of days ago, so I asked the kids “Do you want to make mini pumpkin pies?” and they yelled “Yes!” So, we got out… Continue reading Pumpkin Pies in a Muffin Tin

Apple Snickerdoodle Cobbler

Shame on me. I should know myself better by now than to make something titled “Apple Snickerdoodle Cobbler” when I am 5 months pregnant and eating everything in sight. Seriously. It’s like I want to gain 65 lbs. My brother’s lovely girlfriend Lexie sent me the pin on pinterest, knowing that I would want it… Continue reading Apple Snickerdoodle Cobbler

Honestly, it’s a dangerous recipe for… Continue reading Good ‘ol Fashioned Apple Brownies

Chocolate and Coconut Macaroon Bars

This is me every time somebody (namely, my husband) says they don’t like coconut: I was really desperate for some coconut macaroons tonight.  I’m not sure why.  Sometimes the mood just strikes.  I keep the two essential ingredients for macaroons (coconut and eggs) on hand at all times for just this reason. I decided to… Continue reading Chocolate and Coconut Macaroon Bars

Carrot Cake Loaf with Cream Cheese Frosting

Oh, lets not call this cake.  Lets call this bread.  You know, so we can eat it for breakfast.  I feel like I should give a disclaimer that this bread absolutely does not need cream cheese frosting to be good.  However, I still recommend you add it, because it’s delicious with it, and because you… Continue reading Carrot Cake Loaf with Cream Cheese Frosting

Apple Streusel Bars

The number one question I get asked when my blog comes up is “How do you not weigh a million pounds?” The answer is that I have pretty good self control.  I have to.  If I ate everything I baked, I wouldn’t fit through my doorway.  My house is consistently filled with delicious baked goods, and I… Continue reading Apple Streusel Bars
