Fall is my favorite food season. The comfort food abounds and I feel like the home cooked meals are a giant blanket that warms my soul. I know it is cheesy, but it is so true! I love trying new recipes that create this feeling and I found a ton of them on the Half … More Slow Cooker French Wine and Mustard Chicken
Doughnuts are my kryptonite. I can usually restrain myself around sweets- I love the salty flavors so much better! But doughnuts… there is nothing I don’t like about a good doughnut!

We always have to have a tried and true pumpkin pie (it’s Greg’s absolute favorite!) but I like to add a less traditional dessert option too. Since cheesecake is always a good choice, I … More Bourbon Pumpkin Cheesecake

I have never made a whoopie pie in my life… hell, I don’t think I have ever even eaten one! But, when I was looking for a fun fall treat to make for my monthly department meeting, a whoopie pie sounded like what everyone needed!
