Pumpkin Macarons
Happy Halloween! I should start off by telling you there’s no pumpkin in this recipe, but a hefty amount of pumpkin pie spice. ‘Pumpkin Pie Spiced Macarons’ is just a super long and not catchy name for a cookie, so there ya go. Plus, well… they look like pumpkins! I’ve made french macarons before, so […]
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
I was inspired to make these last weekend, in addition to the corn muffins, because the Giants also had a breakfast game. I didn’t know our full regular crowd wouldn’t be there, so I made a dozen (well, a baker’s dozen), but it worked out just fine with everyone getting to have more than one. […]
Corn Muffins
One of my favorite things about living in LA during football season, as I’ve probably posted about before, is that we have so many breakfast games. I really do enjoy watching football while eating breakfast, though I haven’t quite pinpointed why. Maybe it just feels right rolling out of bed and lazing around for 3.5 […]
Caramel Buttercream Frosting
This recipe was totally worth the wait, I promise. When I think of fall, I think of caramel apples (among other things – I have so much canned pumpkin waiting to be used!), and thought I should incorporate that flavor into a cupcake. This caramel buttercream was the perfect pairing for the Apple Spice Cupcakes. Like […]
Apple Spice Cupcakes
I know, I know, you’ve missed me. Look, it gets hot here in the summer and that translates to me not feeingl like doing a dang thing. The great thing is that suddenly it became fall here! I don’t know what happened – last Sunday I’m out on the tennis court getting a sunburn in […]
Applesauce Spice Cake
When I reflect on my (f)unemployment of the past 7+ weeks, I realize that, in a way, it’s really been a win-win situation for not only myself, but all my friends. You might not understand what I mean, so let me explain. I used to have a job where I worked all the time, as […]
Action-Packed Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies
Yes, that title is setting a pretty high standard for a cookie – but these are Pumpkin Oatmeal White Chocolate Chip Cookies! They’re jam-packed with all the fall flavoring and action you can possibly handle. And yes, you would be correct in assuming that these cookies are as yummy as they sound! The back story […]
Pumpkin Patch Cupcakes
When I saw Sweetest Kitchen’s Mystery Box Cupcake Challenge for this month was “Orange,” I actually hesitated before deciding I’d enter. In fact I may not have entered at all if my friend Ale hadn’t placed an order with me for a dozen pumpkin spice cupcakes to have on hand for some weekend visitors. My […]
Pumpkin Whoopie Pies
I’m all about pumpkin lately, as you’ll see in my upcoming posts, and why not? ‘Tis the season! I’ve been snapping up recipes even faster than I’ve been snatching cans of pumpkin from the food store. I’ve made pumpkin soup, put pumpkin in my breakfast smoothie, some in my tomato sauce, and, of course, in […]
