Pumpkin Eggnog Cookies

October 28, 2019 by Debbie 2 Comments

Apparently eggnog is one of those things that people Hate or Love . How ?? I am in that LOVE category! Once I see the rich creamy eggnog hit the shelves I know the holiday season is right around the corner. These Pumpkin Eggnog Cookies are made from….Pumpkin Eggnog.. if you have never tried it you need to. Although I love it ,I have had many baking failures with it. This is year three I have tried to make something with it and finally got a great result. My theory is the high sugar content has given me bad results, that’s my story and I am sticking to it LOL . If you love pumpkin but not eggnog check out my Chocolate Dipped Pumpkin Cookies, another great fall goodies.

Smoked Turkey Breast

October 24, 2019 by Debbie Leave a Comment

We love a good smoked turkey at Thanksgiving but it could take six to eight hours to smoke a whole turkey plus prepping the smoker. My poor husband would have to get up at 4am to have the turkey ready by lunch on Thanksgiving . A Smoked Turkey Breast is our answer to that problem and nobody has to get up at 4am. The small smoked breast is just enough to satisfy everyone. …

Caramel Apple Cake

October 21, 2019 by Debbie 12 Comments

Nothing screams fall more than caramel apples right?? This Caramel Apple Cake is basically a caramel apple in cake form and it is AMAZING!! Best of both worlds! I recently made some Caramel Ganache with Chocoley Gourmet Caramel from Chocoley and I had to make something special for it. I have a love for just about anything with apples and especially bundt cakes. Just check out my Granny Smith Apple Bundt Cake.

Caramel Ganache

October 20, 2019 by Debbie Leave a Comment

This Caramel Ganache is something I have been thinking about making for a long time but I was worried about it thickening up. Recently while doing some other work I discovered the beauty of ice water baths and ganaches. The light bulb went off and I knew what I would be working on. Just so happens I had my hands on a one pound tub of Chocoley Gourmet Caramel. This was the perfect caramel to make this ganache.

Apple Crown Hot Toddy

October 16, 2019 by Debbie Leave a Comment

Chances are if you grew up around a grandparent and you had a little cold they wanted to give you a hot toddy. The old myth about this hot beverage curing a cold was the the whiskey or bourbon would help with your cough , the honey would sooth your throat and the lemon or orange in this case provided the vitamin C needed to get better . Well , we all know now a cold is a virus that just has to run it’s course but this Crown Apple Hot Toddy is amazing. Sniffle or no sniffle you need this in your life during the colder months.

Chocolate Dipped Pumpkin Cookies

October 13, 2019 by Debbie 3 Comments

I have combined two of my loves in this Chocolate Dipped Pumpkin Cookie, pumpkin and dark chocolate. A soft cake like pumpkin spiced cookie mixed with rich dark chocolate is just pure autumn Heaven. If you have read any of my previous post I am a bit of a chocolate snob and I tend to like higher quality chocolate . Let’s talk about this Chocoley’s Bada Bing Bada Boom Dipping Chocolate. This chocolate goodness is not only rich and delicious it is so easy to work with . I rarely melt chocolate in the microwave for many reasons, mainly it ends in disaster for me. This dipping chocolate melted beautifully in the microwave. If you love fall cookies you have to try my Pumpkin Eggnog Cookies a try.

Chocolate Chunk Pumpkin Bread

October 7, 2019 by Debbie 14 Comments

It is officially pumpkin everything season!! I went shopping with my cousin this past weekend and every shop we went into smelled of fall, it was so intoxicating. We went into a well known high end retail store and they had samples of several of their fall goodies out. One of their mixes was a pumpkin bread mix , that was at best average. Seriously, homemade pumpkin breads are so easy and so much better than a mix. This Chocolate Chunk Pumpkin Bread is so easy and delicious , and is perfect with a hot cup of tea. In the fall I love making breads like this check out my Apple Butter Banana Bread and my Apple Bread with Cream Cheese Filling.

Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

October 4, 2019 by Debbie 11 Comments

In my mind I knew I needed to be working on something other things but I had some overripe bananas staring at me. At my house I buy bananas and two things happen. Either the are gone in a day and I’m wondering if we got a monkey I didn’t know about , or they sit on the counter and over ripened. This week it was the later of the two. This is how these Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies were born, nobody ate the bananas. I have several other recipes if you have bananas you need to use Maple Banana Cake or a little easier Apple Butter Banana Bread.

Halloween Pretzel Rods

October 1, 2019 by Debbie Leave a Comment

Chocolate covered pretzel rods are one of my family’s favorite treats. We love the combination of the salty pretzel rods and the sweet chocolate. I have made these for a lot of occasions, but these Halloween pretzel rods were probably the most fun to make. I found these giant eyes and I knew I wanted to make a One Eyed Purple People Eater. If you don’t what that is google it..It was a Halloween song must when I was growing up. If you are looking for another fun Halloween Treat check out my Candy Corn Funfetti Cupcakes.

Southern Candied Sweet Potatoes

September 24, 2019 by Debbie 19 Comments

Growing up in the Louisiana we never had a sweet potato casserole during the holidays . We always had these Southern Candied Sweet Potatoes , I had never seen a sweet potato casserole until I was in my teens. Don’t get me wrong , I love a good casserole with marshmallows melted on top . Seriously though, nothing beats a good old fashioned sticky candied sweet potato. If you have never had candied sweet potatoes , well you are missing one of life’s little treasures.
