Warning: Cookies may be larger than they appear. I am loving these cookies!  I made them today for a little gathering and I had to hold myself back from downing them all.  I’ve seen this type of soft pumpkin cookie plenty of times around the internet, but this was my first time baking them.  The […]

Are you pumpkin-ed out yet? Hang in there.  You can make it. You’ll thank me next September when you’re searching for pumpkin recipes again. I decided to do some savory pumpkin recipes to round out Pumpkin Palooza.  Wouldn’t want to be responsible for too many sugar highs, you know?  That’s where the idea for a […]

Pumpkin Palooza continues!  I was in a different location for the last four days and let’s just say that it made blogging a little difficult.  But I left you salivating all weekend in anticipation, I’m sure.  Well, salivate no more!  The palooza continues with an ice cream recipe. I was going to give you some […]

You had to know I was gonna throw a pumpkin bread recipe in the mix!  How can you not?  It’s Pumpkin Palooza, people.   I think quick breads are one of the best ways to use pumpkin.  It’s hard to find a quick bread moister (? weird.) than one made with pumpkin.  People who make great […]

What luck!  This week’s Dorie pick fit right in with my Pumpkin Palooza.  The original recipe is for a caramel pumpkin pie, a basic pumpkin pie with a deep caramel mixture swirled in.  I was in no mood to make a pie crust, so I went a different way.  I made a half recipe of […]

Pumpkin Palooza begins! I’m pumped to share all of my best pumpkin recipes with you. Let’s begin with these sweet little beauties. If you’ve never had a fresh marshmallow, get out your mixer right now, or find someone who will make these for you.  This is not your mama’s marshmallow.  Unless your mama makes homemade […]

We’re already half-way through October.  How does this keep happening?  Time is flying, my loves.  One of my favorite things about October (besides PHILLIES BASEBALL!) is pumpkin.  I know that every blogger and their third cousin is posting pumpkin recipes, but I’m not going to hide my love for these big orange beauties.  Just can’t […]

This isn’t exactly a recipe, but I just had to share it with you! My real-life pal and blogger friend Jess created these adorable DIY Hot Chocolate favors for her wedding at 35 cents a pop.  Isn’t that amazing?  I think they’d be great for stocking stuffers or a quick Christmas gift for a friend.  […]

 I’ve finally gotten my act together.  I was so excited to start cooking through Dorie’s new book when I first heard about it.  I mean, have you seen Around My French Table?  Just the cover will make you drool.  But somehow, October 1 sneaked up on me and I totally missed making the first recipe, […]

It’s so cute when my husband requests cookies.  He’s all, “would it be okay if maybe you made some cookies sometime this week, maybe?”  Like I’m going to say no to a cookie request.  Adorable. This week, he asked for something with peanut butter, preferably something soft.  I didn’t want to make your basic peanut […]

Warning: This is not good for you.  Just sayin’. If you’re wondering why I’m even posting this recipe, you should know that I made this dip one time, two years ago, and I still think about it.  This stuff is dangerously addicting.  This is the kind of food that makes you think, “Wow. I now […]

I’m always so surprised with myself when I make a Dorie recipe before the posting day.  This is one of those months where I feel like I’m in the Dorie groove (the Tuesday groove, anyways. I have been majorly slacking on FFwD.  I’m just not used to it yet!).   This torte was surprisingly delicious.  I […]
