Before I talk about today’s pie, we need to have a chat. If you read my first pie post of the month within a couple days of it being posted, you probably noticed that it said something like “I’m going to make a pie every day until Thanksgiving! Hooray!” Well, if you look at it…
A Month of Pie: Sweet Potato Pie with Toasted Marshmallows
Today was a wonderful day! Today was my first day of freedom! I am done selling shoes!!! Being six months pregnant, I can hardly put my own shoes on, let alone the shoes of customer after customer. But I can still make pie! Today I made a sweet potato pie with a cream cheese crust…
A Month of Pie: Freeform Apple Pie
My husband had a brilliant idea for my blog. A different pie recipe for every day of November leading up to Thanksgiving. I am pretty sure he just wanted some pie. And baby, you’re gonna get it. Probably more than you will ever want. I decided to take on the challenge. However, it’s not realistic…
Spooky Halloween Sugar Cookies & How to Ice Spider Web Cookies
I have a confession and I don’t know if I dare admit it. I might be ridiculed. Ok, I’m just going to say it: I don’t really love Halloween. Don’t hate me! There are a couple of reasons why it is my least favorite holiday. 1) I hate dressing up. I never have a costume…
Jack-o-Lantern Stuffed Bell Peppers

Homemade Sugar Sprinkles (Colored Sanding Sugar)
This was one of those things that I thought up all on my own. I was super excited about it and went crazy one afternoon making color after color. After I made a bundle of colors, I decided to see if anyone else had thought of making their own sanding sugar. After a quick Google…
Pumpkin Doodles (Pumpkin Snicker-doodles)
There are certain perks that come with having a job. For starters, an income. Not to mention health insurance, paid vacation, employee discounts, etc. Now if only I could find a way to get all of that, without actually having to do the working part.

Layered Banana Cake

Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms
Let me set up a scenario for you: I get home from work and its after 8. My husband just got home from campus and we both realize that there is no food in the fridge. We decide to go grocery shopping together, something I am hesitant about because it always ends up taking twice…
