Whew, that was a long Thanksgiving weekend of eating!  I’m stuffed to the gills and eager for a few weeks break until Christmas.  We had the in-laws over for Thanksgiving dinner and I took the opportunity to try out a pumpkin tart.  I usually don’t make these kinds of desserts because hubby won’t eat them and I can’t eat a whole pie by myself.  Well…I could but I really shouldn’t!!

Confetti Cake

There’s just something about confetti cakes that just make me smile.  I guess it must be all the pretty colors.  It makes them look so festive and playful.  I’ve made boxed confetti cakes in the past but when I saw a homemade confetti cake recipe on Sprinkle Bakes, I just had to try it. This confetti cake recipe calls for pretty basic ingredients except for the buttermilk.  The end result is a rich and dense [...]

About a month ago I bought a Taste of Home cookbook entirely full of just cookie recipes.  I had bought it in preparation of Christmas cookies but there are so many awesome recipes in there that I just couldn’t wait.

My husband works outdoors and with the weather here turning cooler quickly, I always feel better being able to send him off the next day with leftover hearty soup.  So while searching my favorite cookbooks, I came across this simple soup recipe.

Boy I can’t believe how quickly the holidays are coming this year.  It feels like Halloween was just the other day but then I look at my calender and *poof*, Thanksgiving is only two weeks away!!  How in the world did that happen?! Although I hate for the holidays to come so quickly, I am looking forward to the week after Christmas.  We’ve decided to both take that week as vacation during which we’ll tackle [...]

Warning…you will not be able to keep your hands off of these cookies!  They are simply decadent.  Deliciously soft and loaded with chocolate.  And the best part is that they combine two classic cookies, chocolate chip and Oreos! This cookie recipe is a definite must try.  I’ll be making them again, and again, and again….  Well you get the point!  What could possibly be wrong with mixing Oreos and chocolate chip cookies?  I dare you [...]
