Black and White Halloween Cupcakes {3 ways}

I love these cupcakes because they all look different, but they follow my favorite rule: keep it simple.  Same cake, same frosting, but three different, cute, Halloween designs. I used my favorite homemade chocolate cake recipe, and my favorite vanilla buttercream.  I even used the same Wilton icing Tip (large 1A)  then I did a… Continue reading Black and White Halloween Cupcakes {3 ways}

One Pot Lasagna Soup

We have a Halloween tradition.  Our great friends come over.  We have a tummy-warming dinner of soup or chili (I try to make a new one each year) with fresh bread or cornbread and salad, and then we head out with all the kiddos into the (usually rainy) weather for a night of trick-or treating.… Continue reading One Pot Lasagna Soup

Pumpkin Caramel Monkey Bread

I very rarely make Monkey Bread around here because it is VERY dangerous.

Peanut Butter Brownie Bombs

I am a total sucker for brownies.  Especially slightly underbaked brownies.  I always take mine out of the oven a few minutes early and let them bake a little longer in the pan outside the oven because while I adore brownies, there is absolutely nothing more disappointing than a dried out one. Sometimes this backfires.… Continue reading Peanut Butter Brownie Bombs
