Gingerbread S’morenies
It all started with this cookie: I bought a little package of those little gingerbread men because I thought it would be yummy to make s’mores in the microwave with them (I already had chocolate and marshmallows at home). Then it hit me, mid s’more, that these would be great in brownies, so I decided […]
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 […]
Triple Ginger Carrot Cupcakes
November’s theme for the 5th Mystery Box Cupcake Challenge was ginger. If that’s not a perfect flavor for this season, I don’t know what is! I started brainstorming right away to create something seasonal, but that wasn’t gingerbread or pumpkin-flavored. (As Jamieanne points out, the idea of this challenge is to bake creatively!) I’ll tell you, […]
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 Muffins
These muffins were super easy to whip together one morning for breakfast during the Giants game. I brought all the ingredients, pre mixed, over to my friend’s place, and within half an hour we had some yummy, fresh-baked muffins. I saw this recipe on Muffintop and thought it sounded fabulous. I tweaked it slightly, as I […]
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 […]
Cranberry White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookie Bars
As promised, these puppies were the third variety of cookie I made for my east coast pals, and the rest went with me as bars to work. Unfortunately, because I didn’t think they’d travel well, I only sent them plain oatmeal cookies. (Sorry Fiona!) The bars were something I hadn’t tried before, and I made […]
