Pie Baker.

2011. Apple Cranberry Pie.

2008. Happy Pilgrim/Sad Indian (Native American).

2007 Gobble Gobble!

2009's pie was the Mayflower...but I was apparently too busy to photograph it, since I hosted Thanksgiving that year! I can't remember last year's pie at all. Christmas pies have their own pictures on them too.

I also made my own home-made cranberry sauce yesterday.

So easy and DELICIOUS!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

yesterday.

I spent how many hours decorating cookies?

What I made today.

When I first awoke this morning, I thought that I would take it easy today.

I ended up cooking for 6 hours today. Ha. HA.

Home-made Pita Bread. 

Let dough rise.

Bake 2 at a time (total of 8).

Korean steamed pork buns. 

Which entails chopping various veggies into teeny-tiny pieces,

cooking the meet/veggies. Squeezing out alll the liquid from the

meat/veggie mixture. Letting the dough rise twice.

Rolling the dough out into 16 equal pieces, stuffing them.

Steaming in 3 separate batches (since I do not

have giant steamer). 

tzatziki sauce.

No, I don't plan to eat all that today! Tomorrow will be an easy day when I cook up chicken pitas. Yum. :)

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!
