Pumpkin Rose Cupcakes

Pam and I must be on the same page about this time of year.  As soon as the fall hits, I break out the pumpkin and apples.  I love my house smelling like baked apples and warm pumpkin pie.  My family is getting a little tied of all the pumpkin recipes, but since I'm the cook, I get to choose what we eat!  On Sunday I made a big pot of white chicken chili and then made these for dessert.  Even Mike, who does not like pumpkin or dessert ate two of them, and even liked them.  They are extremely moist due to the sour cream and buttermilk.  They have a nice pumpkin spice flavor and the pumpkin cream cheese just adds that extra kick.  If you are not a pumpkin fan, I encourage you to still give these a try, they are amazing!  Get baking and enjoy this great time of year!!

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Chocolate Covered Cream Balls

Several years ago, I sampled a Milk Chocolate Coconut at See's Candies.  It was love at first bite.  Ever since then I have made a mandatory stop every time I went into the mall to get one of these delicious chocolates.  I love them so much !  However, there are two things I didn't like about them.  1) I had to go to the mall to get them, and 2) they are SO expensive.  I think the last time I was there I paid about 75 cents for 1 chocolate.

Bread Twists

These are my new go-to bread sticks for two reasons - taste and time. They have a wonderful buttery/garlic flavor and the kosher salt adds a delightful savory crunch.  The other thing I love about these is how quickly they come together.  It only takes one hour from start to finish.  One hour!  That's almost unheard of for a yeast bread.  Try these out next time you want some bread with your dinner but are short on time.
