At MOPS on Thursday, my friend Bethany brought awesome pumpkin scones. They got me in the mood to bake some myself. Now, my normal scones are amazing and I love the recipe. I've just never been super comfortable trying to alter it to a pumpkin scone recipe because there are already so many wet ingredients… Continue reading Double Glazed Pumpkin Scones

Pumpkin Spice Muffin Tops
I first made this recipe when my daughter was two years old. She had a severe dairy allergy, which was horrible in a lot of ways, but it killed me that she couldn't bake with Mommy or eat any of the stuff I made. I took this recipe and altered it, using rice milk and… Continue reading Pumpkin Spice Muffin Tops
Eggnog Vanilla Candied Nuts
It's an awesome day today! MOPS this morning was fantastic, making up Dutch Apple Pies with my girls. Tonight I'm going to see Harry Potter at midnight. Well, actually - I'm getting in line at 7pm.

Cinnamon Sugar Doughnut Muffins
Sometimes, you just want a doughnut. If you're like me, you have trouble justifying the drive to a bakery just to buy one, so you get a dozen. And then eat them all. Not good. Here's my take on a mini-muffin that tastes just like a delicious doughnut. Without the guilt. The original recipe for… Continue reading Cinnamon Sugar Doughnut Muffins

I have several lemons rapidly getting closer to serving no purpose but attracting fruit flies. 3. Lemon curd is awesome and delicious. I'll… Continue reading Lemon Curd
Hummus
Usually I buy hummus in a big tub from Costco. It's fairly cheap (especially compared to the tiny containers at regular grocery stores) and my family can blow thru one in about a week. My kids love it with chips or carrots. Zack and I enjoy toasting up some pita bread and scooping hummus up… Continue reading Hummus
Raspberry Coulis
Made this quick and delicious raspberry coulis to serve with "Patrick" - Flourless Double Chocolate Truffle. Depending on how tart your berries are, you may need to add more sugar, to taste. I like mine with a hint of pucker since I'm usually serving it with something really rich. Make sure once it's boiling, you… Continue reading Raspberry Coulis
“Patrick” – Flourless Double Chocolate Truffle
Ah, Patrick. I've been so excited to make this dessert, I cannot even tell you. First, about Patrick the person. He is our ever-present sound tech at church. He LOVES chocolate. Which is why this is a chocolate dessert, but it's more than that. This truffle has no flour or cocoa mixed in with the… Continue reading “Patrick” – Flourless Double Chocolate Truffle
Smothered Pork Chops
My husband and I were supposed to have an all day date today. We had tickets to see Tran-Siberian Orchestra and then were given two passes to a food and wine festival tonight. Unfortunately, my son woke up this morning sick. Like...you know...sick. Not the best way to be awakened on a Saturday morning. Bleah.… Continue reading Smothered Pork Chops
