These are just the perfect fall time treat! The combination of fluffy pumpkin cake with a just sweet enough frosting is simply delicious. I followed Paula Deen’s recipe which is for pumpkin bars, but I turned them into cupcakes and it made 24. Mmmhmm. Delicious. Would even go great with a cup of coffee in the [...]
My plan was to make a blog post about some yummy oatmeal I made for breakfast today. But while eating I reflected on how good I’ve been feeling lately and one thought led to 500 more thoughts and I wrote up a whole post on what I think the secret to happiness is. This oatmeal [...]
This picture and meal was actually made last summer, so don’t think I’m cheating on my health kick!

It’s quite delicious and is sure to warm you [...]
I have a few confessions. 1) These cookies are semi-homemade 2) Despite the fact they are semi-homemade they were still yummy. 3) It only took me 2o minutes to make these and only 2 dishes to clean! (the cookie pan and a knife) 4) It’s noon and I’m still in my pajamas. Ok. I feel [...]
