Pumpkin Maple Chip Cupcakes…

October 25, 2009

Confession…I get slightly obsessed with random stuff quite easily…for example cinnamon baking chips.

Halloween Candy Corn

October 11, 2009

Halloween…the time of year for all things, spooky. I was never a fan of Halloween as a kid…now don’t get me wrong, I did love me some trick or treat candy, but all the ghouls, witches, and goblins truly freaked me out.

Cinnamon Squares…

June 1, 2009

This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe for Cinnamon Squares was chosen by Tracey of Tracey’s Culinary Adventures.
