All About the Pumpkin

Pumpkin has always been a favourite of mine

from pies and breads

to cakes and dips

because it is prime pumpkin season

I decided to pull together some of the best recipes I have tried

or ones that I want to

via

 pumpkin snickerdoodles ~ seriously

via

 you had me at hello....

via

 with cream cheese frosting

via

 what is better than pumpkin pie ~ tarts of course

via

 this looks so yummy ~ I cannot wait to try it

via

 I have had this pinned forever but have not tried it yet ~ soon

via

 donuts!

via

 mini cheesecakes

via

 I have made this blueberry pumpkin bread for a few years now

every fall it gets pulled back out ~ love it

via

 scones ~ pumpkin = love

via

 we tried this dip last year and it is so good

nice and light

via

 all kinds of pumpkin inspiration over here

and this french toast is a winner

via

pumpkin sugar cookies

via

this pumpkin swirl cheesecake I have made many times

it is made with a ginger cookie crust which just adds to the yumminess of it!

with rain in the forecast tomorrow ~ I may just have to try out one of these.

Happy Weekend!

Wordless Wednesday ~ Trick or Treat

Saturday Ramblings

Good morning ~ missed you yesterday!

not sure what happened ~ not like it was a crazy busy week

but it got away from me

so as I sit here on Saturday morning

drinking coffee ~ catching up on some recorded tv

and planning my day

I wanted to say "hi"

saw this one and thought of Becky!

lots on my to do list

some cooking ~ cleaning ~ planning

you know ~ the normal stuff

heading to the cottage this afternoon 

to close it up for the season

hard to believe that it is that time again

 we are also watching a Nor'easter coming up

the eastern seaboard

that's snow people

they are only calling for a trace here

but still the same ~ it IS still October!

so I hope you all have a wonderful week-end

full of more treats than tricks!

Boo!

Pump(kin) Me Up

Boo!

yes ~ tis the week-end that many look forward to

this event to me is like meh ~ whatever

don't get me wrong

I love, love, love seeing the kids

all dressed up

greeting them at the door

all those eyes staring up with their bags held open

but to do a lot of decorating

or planning on what to wear

it has not been one of those things I am into

I did get a pumpkin

and will be carving it tomorrow

the treats are bought

and I pray for nice weather on Sunday

this has been such a busy week

and I am tired

I hope I am not too tired to roast my pumpkin seeds!

I actually had a fabulous week

I got my hair all chopped off on Tuesday night

it is short ~ really short

then on Wednesday night 

I met up with a couple of old friends

and we had a wonderful dinner and conversation

I love catching up with these girls

then I went to a farewell party

dropped into a local pub to wish a friend well

then last night I went to the dentist

then off to close my jewelry party

and I cannot wait to get that order

I got some really nice things!

tonight I am taking a breather

will watch some tv

and become one with my couch

the week-end will be busy as well

got some things on my to do list

if I actually follow through on one of them

I will tell you all about it next week!

Thank You

for all the wonderful comments on yesterday's post

wasn't all that colour just fun!

I wish everyone a wonderful week-end 

and the best Halloween ever!
