Something Delicious.

Here is an extremely easy, yet completely delicious (and beautiful) Double Layer Pumpkin Cheesecake recipe.
I've made it several times (I prefer to make it in a spring-form pan with my own graham cracker crust).

I made it this weekend, for a beautiful fall backyard BBQ. I will probably make it again before this season is over! Enjoy.

Yum.

I made these the other day. Pumpkin Cupcakes. I had some left over pumpkin pie puree from a pumpkin cheesecake that I made a couple weeks prior. I needed to use this up! Here is the recipe I used. I halved the recipe for cupcakes and instead of using plain puree I used the kind with all the spices already in it (since that was what I already had opened) and skipped the cinnamon step in the recipe. I did add walnuts, but I could've done without, esp. in cupcakes. The husband said he liked the walnuts though, so I guess it's a personal preference! I personally don't like "surprises" in my cupcakes, I like them to just be soft.

Hope everyone is enjoying their fall thus far!

fall foods.

Opal Apples (a new variety). Crisp, juicy, tangy.

*AND this is a break through, bc I have for YEARS

hated apples, not because of the taste, but because

of the texture. So this is pretty amazing.

The only time of year I allow myself to buy Oreos.

For some reason, the hot-orange filling 

makes them absolutely irresistible. 

Other Fall foods I am looking forward to: Pumpkin Pie ice cream (which we already have in the freezer!), home made apple pies, caramel apples.
