    Pumpkin Coffee Cake

    Ever have one of those recipes that has been used and used and used until it looks like this (see left)?? My Mom has this book she has been using since she was younger to make breads, muffins, cakes…all sorts of goodies that I enjoyed when I was growing up. It was called the “Quick Breads Cookbook” © 1975. How great is that? I was lucky enough this past weekend to have her share this book with me and let me use one of the recipes out of it to create a coffee cake that is just perfect for Fall. The first day of Fall was last week and I…

    Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookies

    Another weekend has come and gone…the golf tournament last week went really well. My team and I had a fabulous time golfing. We certainly aren’t what you would call “golfers” but we definitely had fun and played some decent golf. Since I was the captain of the golf team I wanted to make sure that my team was equip with all the essentials. Music, booze, and cookies…hehe 😉 Personally, I was not a fan of how these cookies came out but everyone seemed to really enjoy them. I didn’t have any butter so I had to substitute Crisco in, which we all know changes the texture and flavor of the…

    Happy Thursday! The week is almost over friends…I am particularly looking forward to this weekend because one of best friends is going to be in NYC this weekend and I am going to go and see her :-D!!!! This is my Kait and I….hehe. We are complete goofs and I love it. We are always doing something silly, saying something silly, or making other people do silly things. haha 😉 Kait and I met when we were both attending Penn State University as undergrads. We were both a part of the University Dance Company and that is where our friendship really began. Ever since then I have considered Kait to…
