simple recipes, easy clean-up
I feel like we just barely started 2012 last week, and now we are thisclose to bidding it farewell. This past year has been incredible. I have met so many wonderful bloggers and have sparked such fantastic friendships. I truly feel blessed to be where I am.

We are spending the Holidays with family in Utah before {Read More}

I’m back again with another pumpkin recipe, and this time I have mashed two of my favorite desserts of all time together. Pumpkin Pie and Pound Cake! Then I made it extra special by whipping up a batch of salted caramel sauce and drizzled it on top. The pumpkin yogurt pound cake is not too sweet by itself, so the caramel really hits that sweet tooth in all the right places. The cake is the perfect blend of dense and {Read More}
Let me first start this off with a fair warning from my husband. These are not filled with actual pumpkin pie. {apparently it came as a shock to him when he took a bite} I would also like to take this moment to clarify that these cute little things are not actual “cannolis” either. They just happened to take the shape of a cannoli, and also happened to be filled with a light pumpkin pie mousse… so yeah, Skinny Pumpkin {Read More}

Last weekend I attended a church function where a whole bunch of women get together and do crafty things, then eat a pot luck lunch, and then do more crafty things. It’s pure joy for me. I signed up to bring a dessert to said “crafty-ness gathering & pot luck.” It always makes me nervous to bring things for the fear of judgement and lack of interest in my dish. That was not the case for this Pumpkin Gooey Cake. {Read More}
I’m in a weird spot right now. The world is transitioning into fall, with big beautiful green trees turning all shades of red, brown, yellow and orange. The air is crisper in the evenings, and the mornings arrive with dew drops on the grass. Cinnamon and spice candles burn and invite the welcoming smells of what is sure to be a glorious season. Sounds magical doesn’t it? Right now temperatures here in Arizona are just barely dropping under 100 degrees. {Read More}

I am such a sucker for home-made gifts. It all boils down to my love language. The more time you spend in the kitchen = you love me more. These cute little pumpkin loaves are the perfect way to show your neighbors, teachers, friends, babysitters, creepy wheel chair guy, and anyone-who-surprisingly-drops-by-to-give-you-a-gift, just how much you love them. These bad boys are super moist and packed full of delicious spices and mini chocolate chips. I just love bread loaves for the Holidays, they are so rich and {Read More}
That’s a big statement. The “perfect” pumpkin pie. But this is it. It’s a combination of dense and fluffy all at the same time. It just melts in your mouth.
