Dutch Apple Cake
I'm more of a pie person than a cake person. I had a pie bar at my wedding instead of a traditional wedding cake. I'll reach for the pie at a party before I'll reach for a cake. Pie is just a better dessert option in my opinion. Of all the pies in the world,… Continue reading Dutch Apple Cake
Mini Sweet Potato Pie Bites
Are you a sweet potato or a pumpkin pie fan? Pumpkin pie seems to be the clear winner, with most people making or buying the dessert for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Sweet potato pie, though, started gaining more popularity over the last few years thanks to the famous Patti LaBelle pies you can buy at Walmart.… Continue reading Mini Sweet Potato Pie Bites
Pumpkin Scones with Vanilla Icing
It's hard to believe that Americans obsession with pumpkin spice is realitvely new. 20 years ago, pumpkin spice lattes and pumpkin-flavored candy weren't as big of sellers as they are now. The pumpkin-spice-everything craze did not really start until Starbucks started promoting it excessively a few years ago. What is the reason behind our obsession… Continue reading Pumpkin Scones with Vanilla Icing
Pumpkin Spice Coffee Cake
One of my fondest memories of my grandmother is helping her make coffee cake. It was her signature recipe and one that she would make for special occasions, holidays, and any time a grandchild would ask for it. It was a simple recipe made from hot roll dough topped with a streusel crumb topping. It… Continue reading Pumpkin Spice Coffee Cake

I have two more weekends to bake all the best stuff, and I plan on making the most of it. I made this cranberry muffin recipe on a whim… Continue reading Cranberry Macadamia Nut Muffins
Pork & Apples with Stuffing
I absolutely adore this time of year. The period of time between Halloween and Thanksgiving is my favorite time of year. There are pumpkins everywhere, people are starting to put up their Christmas stuff (me included) and Thanksgiving foods are placed at the front of the grocery stores. I'm well stocked up for the holidays… Continue reading Pork & Apples with Stuffing
Apple Pie Churro Bombs
There's something about fresh, home-grown apples. There's so delectable. Juicier. Sweeter. I moved into a home that had a fairly mature apple tree and it has yielded some great apples the last two autumns. My apple tree isn't alone, either. I've spotted two others like it in the city, and a woman came up to… Continue reading Apple Pie Churro Bombs
Copycat Cracker Barrel Fried Apples
This ice storm sure has packed a punch for Oklahoma. I've got limbs down everywhere. A tree fell on my car! Our heater and wood-burning stove has been working overtime the last few days. I'm ready for the rain to stop and the ice to melt so my trees can get back to trying to… Continue reading Copycat Cracker Barrel Fried Apples
Marbled Carrot Cake Cheesecake Bars
I'm a little late to the spring party, and I think Oklahoma is, too. It's been 30-40 degrees the past few nights. I haven't managed to venture outside in 2-3 days since my allergies have been going haywire. I'm missing the little blossoms on the trees, the weeds that are in bloom, and the cheery… Continue reading Marbled Carrot Cake Cheesecake Bars
