Cheesecakes are not one of my favorite dessert foods. It’s the cream cheese that I don’t like. I like cream cheese when it’s sweetened, like in frosting, or when mixed into muffins, but I don’t like it on its own or when the flavor of the cream cheese is too prominent. This month’s Taste Of [...]
Unfortunately, dulce de leche isn’t available in most stores, but you can make it yourself at home quite easily with a can of sweetened condensed milk. There are many methods to do this – you can boil the can, opened or unopened for a few hours; you can use an oven; you can use a [...]
In Parke County, Indiana there is an annual event known as the Covered Bridge Festival that runs for a week in early October (it actually starts today, too bad it is rainy and dreary!). Parke County is famous for its 32 covered bridges, and has festivals throughout the entire county each year to celebrate their [...]
A couple of weeks ago I was leisurely browsing through Bake It Pretty, in particular the Halloween decorations. When I saw the zombie hand cupcake toppers, I knew I had to order them and make a batch of Halloween cupcakes. I have never made a Halloween cupcake before; the closest I’ve came were these pumpkin [...]
Trying to use up the rest of the canned pumpkin, I’ve been on a pumpkin recipe search. After pumpkin bread, comes pumpkin pancakes. I’m pretty sure I’ve never eaten pumpkin pancakes before but after trying this recipe I’m definitely going to be making them again. The recipe is a highly rated one at allrecipes.com. I [...]
I realize this is not the right time of the year for pumpkin-based foods, but I had a craving! I haven’t made this bread since living in Australia, about 3 years ago now, and I loved it then. The recipe I used comes from Simply Recipes (but left out the walnuts). After tasting the pumpkin [...]
Before I begin this, you may notice that I baked pumpkin chocolate chip squares the day before yesterday. I placed the majority of them in the freezer and can note that they are freezing well. Now, I have leftover pumpkin and chocolate from that recipe and before the pumpkin went bad I just had to [...]
I love the taste of chocolate and pumpkin together, so when I saw this Martha Stewart recipe for pumpkin chocolate chip squares, I had to bake it. I was reluctant to do so, with 2 sticks of butter and 1 1/4 cups of sugar! Wow! If you read through the comments on the recipe page [...]
I’ve really been in the mood for pumpkin ever since my pumpkin cupcakes with cinnamon cream cheese frosting turned out so well. I bought a can of pumpkin at the store the last time I was there and I’ve been trying to think of what to do with it. I decided on chocolate pumpkin cupcakes [...]
I am a member of a neighborhood women’s group that meets every month. This month’s meeting has an Autumn theme and members can bring their favorite Autumn foods. Of course, I had to bake pumpkin cupcakes! These pumpkin cupcakes are absolutely delicious, soft and moist. I am so pleased with the way they turned out. [...]
